Top CS school intl new grad (May 2026) struggling to land SWE — any advice?

Hi all,

I’m an international new grad from a top CS school (graduating May 2026) with 3 SWE internships. Currently recruiting for full-time roles — had a few interviews and onsites but couldn’t convert.

Noticed Amazon/Meta new grad hiring seems frozen recently. Also didn’t get a return offer from previous internships.

Feeling a bit stuck — any advice on improving interviews or adjusting strategy (startups, smaller companies, etc.)?

Appreciate any help 🙏
