hmm when you say skills, are you referring to like programming skills? If so, I’d say things like understanding data structures and algorithms and having a high level understanding of how things like front-end and back-end development work to setup an application.
What would u recommend if you’re a junior in college right now, it’s a bit late (nov) 😢 - should i wait till the spring when recruiting picks up again? How does the process change?
I would keep applying from now through the spring :) The reason is internships have limited spots, some people drop out and some people turn down offers so the longer you wait the more those spots are filled up. Even if a recruiter reaches out to you and they run out of spots for internships, you can contact that recruiter directly next year for a full-time position! I did that many times. Best of luck!
