Dry-Cryptographer904's journey

I graduated with my Computer Science degree in May and am currently interning as a Software Engineering intern for the summer. This opportunity came through a program with Georgia Tech, which sponsors interns at local companies in Atlanta, but unfortunately, it’s not something I can convert into a full-time role. I attended a non-target school and my current internship is with a SATCOM company that primarily works with the military, so it's not very well-known. I have a few small machine learning projects under my belt and a limited professional network. I’m actively seeking true entry-level positions, especially since I’m eager to break into the machine learning and data science fields, which seem to require a Master’s degree and several years of experience. I’ve also considered pursuing a Network+ certification to explore networking roles, as I believe they might be less automated compared to software engineering positions. I’m looking for guidance on how to secure at least some tech-related job. I’m open to relocating anywhere in the US to find opportunities.
