I'm looking to do an internship with AMD in Summer 2024 (yes I can work multiple internships back to back). I would like to know from former interns about how difficult/competitive getting an internship with them is.

Here is me :

age: 21, not in college, currently studying C, C++, and C#, intend on studying Python, Java, and Linux, will have certificates with large companies (like Microsoft and AWS). All of this (including proficiency with the languages mentioned above) by March 2024.

What are my chances?

Since you are not in college, it's good to work on your portfolio, certificates or even participating in coding challenges/contests.

If you don't have any of these, then the chances are pretty low.

I know, that 's why I put what I'm currently doing and studying for in the post.

Having no degree in this market means he's almost automatically tossed out as a candidate.

Tech was already crowded with bootcamp hopefuls, but the mass layoffs means you'll also be competing with actual former employees in this industry, many of them low level seniors.

Tech is not a honeypot anymore. You can't just roll up with some YouTube tutorial projects and expect any recruiter to take you seriously.
