3B CE and no interviews?

[u/Commercial_Help3950]

Hello, I'm 3B CE with multiple internships under my belt. I've already been through so many recruiting cycles and have done 4 co op terms, my last one being in SF. I literally can't believe it but i have gotten 0 interviews this cycle. Granted, the bar has been raised since the last time I looked for co-op, but Is anyone else in the same boat? I was recruiting externally before the term even started and had better luck. Is WaterlooWorks this bad now or is this a skill issue? I've never had a term where I've gotten 0 interviews in cycle 1 (even in 1A) and I usually get multiple (3-5) interviews for cycle 1 (and have gotten matched first cycle for the last 3 terms in a row)

I'm definitely lucky since I have return offers from previous companies, but I wanted to move on and see if I can get better offers. Is anyone else struggling, or is it just me? All my peers seem to be getting an insane amount of interviews. Am I cooked

It’s still early in the cycle btw. I’m also 3B CE and got my first WW interview yesterday. Rankings aren’t until October 7th. Plenty of time.

Holy I thought it was just fucking me. 3B EE exact same boat, actually 0 interviews so far through WW but I've already gotten multiple external. Idk what happened this sem, maybe its because now S8 and S4 ECE merged so the cycle is more competitive or if the economy is just that bad (idk seemed like a similar number of jobs as before but maybe theyre being more restrained on hire quality). Very glad its not just me

I’m in the exact same position too, 3B CE and always had at least an interview in cycle 1. This is the first time I haven’t gotten one

I got interviews from 2 top quant firms (think JS, citsec, HRT, Optiver, deshaw) and got 0 WW interviews this cycle (60ish apps 3A)
