Hey everyone!
UPitt/Simplify updated their Github link to 2026 for New Grad Roles.
I know I found their resources super helpful during the internship hunt, and noticed some people were looking for New Grad links.
Hope this helps and good luck!

Hi everyone! I was wondering if any of you know any good resources where you can get daily updates on New Grad 2026 SWE postings ?

I remember there used to be some repositories by Simplify and others for internships and New Grad 2025, but can’t really find anything for New Grad 2026, but I believe that recruiting cycle is about to start

I have also tried using Simplify too, but looks like there is almost no new grad jobs for 2026

Thank you!

Hey Guys! I know the tech market is tough for all of us right now. I just wanted to share that I found which is updated regularly for internships and Full Time roles in SWE, PM, and Quant roles here if anyone is interested:

Full Time: https://github.com/PrepAIJobs/New-Grad-2026/tree/main

i’m a computer engineering student wrapping up an internship at a name-brand company, and ive been applying to new grad/junior swe roles for like 10 months now. did the standard stuff too, cleaned up my resume, built projects, grinded leetcode, tailored apps when i had the bandwidth, messaged recruiters, kept linkedin alive, all that, and it still feels like im firing applications into drywall

what bugs me most is how the advice never changes. its always “numbers game” even when the market is obviously weird rn, and i can handle rejection, thats not even the part that gets me, its the ghosting, reposted listings, 4-6 round interview loops for entry level jobs, and job posts taht read like they want a mid-level engineer who will work for junior pay. after a while “just apply more” starts sounding detached from actual conditions

im not saying effort doesnt matter, it does, but i do think alot of us at the junior end are getting handed advice from a different hiring era and people keep repeating it because every thread about this is the same. maybe that worked a few years ago, i dont think it maps cleanly to 2025-2026

if youre in this search too, what has actually moved the needle for you? because blind application volume has been one of the least useful parts of this process for me

pretty much title, wanna be early this time. getting f*cjed for 2025 summer internship.

Hello! I am an international student in the USA and will be graduating next spring 2026. I am currently doing an internship but am open to new roles in the future. Did the CS new grad roles for 2026 open yet? If so, how are you guys applying ? Any tips?

Wassup y’all,

I’m graduating this upcoming Spring semester and have been applying to new grad roles. I’ve gotten a few online assessments and interviews, which I’m taking as a good sign so far.

This past summer I had an internship in a cloud-focused role, and I also have a military background. My main concern right now is direction. I’m not the strongest programmer, and I know I need to keep improving my coding skills, but a lot of the roles I’m seeing aren’t really labeled as “cloud developer” positions.

So I’m trying to figure out:

•	Should I be focusing more on SWE fundamentals and coding interview prep?

•	Should I be targeting cloud support / DevOps / platform roles instead?

•	Or is it better to lean into the cloud + security + military background combo?

For anyone who’s been in a similar spot:

•	What did you focus on right before graduating?

•	Any advice on how to position myself for new grad roles when my strength is cloud rather than pure SWE?

Appreciate any insight 🙏

(Yes I used a chatbot to write this, my thoughts were all over the place lmao)

I very rarely see New Grad openings for 2026 Grads. Is it likely due to the H-1B fee uncertainty, or is it barely even a start?

P.S. I have heard from some 2025 Grads that October was busy in terms of applications and interviews...

title. I haven't found anything yet, rip, but im also blind so that could be a factor

While Simplify has made an incredible tool for autofilling applications across multiple platforms, they've also made a repo dedicated for sharing internship openings. As helpful as this is, the repo is currently sitting at 25k stars, which I think is now doing more harm than good.

Imagine finding a SWE internship that's a perfect fit for your skills and coursework, and it's in a domain you love. It was posted a few hours ago, not many people have applied. However, you're not from a top school, and you don't have previous internships. You craft the perfect resume matching everything to the job description and write a cover letter. A few days later, it appears on the Simplify repo, and it receives thousands of applicants, adding competitive noise between your application and the recruiter, therefore reducing the probability of your application being seen.

Without the publicity, sure, the internship would have received hundreds of applicants, maybe a bit over 1k. But won't increasing visibility to a five-figure audience full of people hungry for internships produce an over-saturated applicant pool?

I graduate this May, I’ve had two first round interviews, and that’s it :0 I have had two internships, I manage the CS TAs at my school, and have various side projects. But I have next to no referrals :/ wondering how everyone else is doing, as we go into February!

Other than existing internship experience, what to do from now to prepare for a high paying/very career rewarding ft role in 2025 when I graduate?

Hi everyone! I’m excited to host an AMA here, thanks to the mod team for the help! My name is Rushil, and I am the founder of Simplify. I started Simplify while I was a CS student at Berkeley to address the problems I experienced in the recruiting space, and to help students and professionals navigate the unnecessarily-complex process of finding a job/internship.

Over the past year, I’ve helped hundreds of students and new grads find their dream job through career advice and mentorship, as well as critiquing resumes, cover letters, and portfolios. Being in the recruiting space for the last couple years, I work with a lot of recruiters and get to see things from both sides of the aisle.

I am excited to answer your questions about job searching, navigating this recession as a college student, and anything else related to Simplify, computer science or the tech industry. I'm making this post today to collect questions, and will be answering them tomorrow, February 23rd, from 10AM PST to 6:30 PST! Let's get started!

Edit: I'm answering questions now! Feel free to continue posting new questions and I'll get to them :)

Edit 2: Thanks for all the questions everyone, I hope this was helpful! Feel free to continue to ask questions, and I'll try coming back to this post tomorrow as well. Best of luck everyone, I'm rooting for you all!
