Click here 👉 https://www.amanmanazir.com/coaching/?utm_source=youtube&utm_medium=video_description&utm_campaign=Can't_Get_Software_Engineering_Job&video=qISGbSPAS-8 You’ve probably noticed it — people way less qualified than you keep getting software engineering offers… while you’re stuck refreshing your inbox. In this video, I break down exactly why “dumb” engineers keep winning, and what they understand about the hiring game that you don’t. I’ll show you how to fix your biggest bottleneck — whether that’s your resume, interviews, or networking — and finally start getting real offers instead of rejections. I'm Aman Manazir, a career coach and software engineer. I interned at companies like Amazon, Shopify, and HP in college, and the day I graduated I landed a $168,000/year* full-time software engineering job. I help you make it as a computer science student and landing your dream job. If you're a dedicated programmer who wants to land your dream internship or job in 2025 without spamming LeetCode, spending hours at career fairs, or applying to thousands of positions, join the Software Engineering Accelerator and work directly with me.
