watzon45879yWhile you're applying for jobs be working equally hard on side projects that you can show off to prove you know your stuff. nowadays experience counts for a lot more than a degree

LinkedIn, Glassdoor, Hired, Dice, Untapt.
Bit cliche but look up developer interview questions, for the rando interviewers that want you to answer out-of-scope questions like on infrastructure or weird stuff like monoids. You get dinged for not having a basic (right or wrong) clue about things you'll never work with nor have input on, seriously. -
I agree with @jirehstudios, large companies are great for the first job. I started at UHaul right out of school. I even received and accepted an offer after hitting a car in the parking garage.

avedis31679yif you dont have a portpolio yet, it's wise as the guys above mentioned applying for a Jr position in a large firm.
at this stage, put aside the importance of the salary... so another internship if it means getting experiemce. its a good experience, really
