I mean, warehousing is one thing you can do in the meantime. There’s always some staffing agency filling for those. The only way to get an edge is get certs and you just need money to get certs. If you’re going for a Developer role, you have to build out your git; needs to be on resumes, etc. Leetcode and Hackerrank are all good, but LinkedIn is where you’ll meet the people giving jobs. You have to network recruiters and give them your time — even if they have nothing at the moment.

Yup, that’s definitely better than just CS, it’s also way easier to land business related internships/entry level jobs, so that should honestly be ur back up plan if u can’t find anything cs related
