Grace Liu positions herself as a high-achieving technical generalist and career strategist for the next generation of software engineers. Her content strategy centers on "ungatekeeping" the elite internship circuit, moving beyond basic advice to provide tactical playbooks on off-season recruiting, gap year optimization, and leveraging research for technical credibility. She is particularly notable for her radical transparency regarding non-linear paths, frequently citing her pivot from biology to computer science as a way to humanize the high-stakes world of Big Tech recruiting. By intersecting elite technical pedigree with community advocacy, Grace transforms her personal success at companies like Vercel and Databricks into a scalable blueprint for underrepresented students navigating a hyper-competitive market.

I’m 𝘂𝗻𝗴𝗮𝘁𝗲𝗸𝗲𝗲𝗽𝗶𝗻𝗴 how I landed a 𝗦𝗪𝗘 𝗶𝗻𝘁𝗲𝗿𝗻𝘀𝗵𝗶𝗽 at my dream company with a non-traditional background.
Exactly two years ago, I was a biology student who had never written a single line of code. I felt behind, overwhelmed, and like I didn't belong in tech.
𝟭. 𝗧𝗵𝗲 "𝟭𝟬-𝗗𝗮𝘆" 𝗥𝘂𝗹𝗲
I stopped waiting for the "perfect" time to apply. I committed to applying to every new posting within 10 hours of it going live. Speed is a signal of interest.
𝟮. 𝗕𝘂𝗶𝗹𝗱𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗶𝗻 𝗣𝘂𝗯𝗹𝗶𝗰
I didn't just put projects on my resume. I posted my progress on GitHub every single day. Even the small bugs I fixed. It showed recruiters I was consistent and coachable.
𝟯. 𝗟𝗲𝘃𝗲𝗿𝗮𝗴𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗢𝗳𝗳-𝗦𝗲𝗮𝘀𝗼𝗻 𝗥𝗼𝗹𝗲𝘀
Everyone fights for summer. I targeted Fall and Winter internships where the applicant pool was 70% smaller. That’s how I got my foot in the door.
Recruiting is a marathon, not a sprint. If you’re feeling discouraged, keep going. Your "yes" is coming.
