Leverage CS & Data Science majors for entry-level tech roles

A college senior with a double major in Computer Science and Data Science possesses a powerful foundation for numerous high-demand tech roles. Despite having 'joke roles' for internships, the academic background in CS and Data Science is highly marketable. The opportunity lies in actively seeking out entry-level software engineering, data analyst, or data science positions. Key actions include: building a strong project portfolio (GitHub showcasing skills in Python, Java, SQL, machine learning, data visualization), networking, tailoring resumes to specific job descriptions, and practicing technical interview questions (LeetCode). Emphasizing problem-solving skills and foundational knowledge will be critical. Expected salary for entry-level roles can range from $60k-$90k+, depending on location and company.
