P.S. here is a great resume template

On GitHub you can find crowdsourced job applications like those found here https://github.com/pittcsc/Summer2022-Internships and here https://github.com/pittcsc/NewGrad-2021. These may be outdated, but you can do your own research to find repos that are up-to-date.

Definitely not exhaustive. I'm sure you can find more, some companies shut down new grad hiring during fall 2020. My focus was mainly on finance/fintech, which is why I didn't apply to a lot of typical tech companies. Here's a helpful resource from last year's cycle; I see no reason it changes significantly.

They also have a new grad 2021 repo

On second look, new grad is covered https://github.com/pittcsc/NewGrad-2021

I think the process is fairly straight forward, not easy, but straightforward. Of course, LeetCode will do you no good if you aren't even getting interviews. Assuming you have a relevant degree and the testing job involves a decent amount of programming, you should have the content necessary to build a strong resume. From there, I'd try to reach out to any alumni you see at one of these companies on LinkedIn in order to get referrals. When you have to resort to applying online, I'd go for volume (50 - 200 apps). As you know, the entry level market was very competitive even before COVID. The good thing about tech is that it isn't just the biggest household names paying like this. I'd say most of the companies here have "top tier" compensation/benefits.
