I'm finishing my fourth year of university as a software engineer. Looking at companies' requirements, I realize it's easier to get into IT with your product than to go through a three- or even five-stage interview process for a meager salary.

No exactly have your experience, but have worked in I.T. for 25 years. Started in Electronic Tech, but took a ton of computer classes and migrated to I.T. - We are hiring CS Grads for I.T. interns. Times are tough. Too many Software types expecting huge salaries, and they are not there. The FAANG (Faceboot Amazon Google) companies are realizing they made huge investments during Covid and are not not seeing the need. Plus AI has redirected Mid-Level Developers to do the work of Entry Level. Companies are looking for experience...If you don't have that, you are "ENTRY LEVEL" material. Set up a home lab, learn networking, Learn Linux, and be willing to do what you can to excel on that. Also, look at CERTS (A+, NET+, SEC+). That will get you noticed.

For 9 months I worked three days a week as an unpaid intern while I finished school. I got an entry level job offer after graduation.
It seems a lot of people expect to get some great job right out of school, I don't get that entitled attitude.

Tech is having a moment.
Get whatever you can get and excel at it without letting a single person not understand how you are excelling at it
