Need advice from seniors, please help

I am a final-year CS student and will be graduating this June. I have been doing internships since 6th semester. In my first and second year I used to code like 9 to 10 hours a day and learn new skills and thanks to that I was able to grep an internship in start of 6th sem and since then I am doing internships and its been 1.5 years and I have done 2 internships, one as an backend developer for 6 months and another as an ML Engineer for 10 months and I am still interning over here and I have learned a lot and have worked on many amazing projects, now the problem is my current company told that they will give me full time offer if they receive the funding in April or may and HR told me to consider this as no and now the CEO of my previous internship called me and asked me if I am willing to join there for full time and I told him I am waiting for the offer from here and he told me that he will try to match the offer but I don't want to join the older company as there the culture is toxic and I also don't have other offer to negotiate as I did not sit for on campus placement as I am getting paid more as an intern(50k per month) then the full time offers the companies are giving on campus. Now in 2 months, I will be graduating and still, I don't have full-time offer now I feel like all the sacrifices I made in my first and second years went in vain, all the hard work, consistency, missing parties and trips all these things now makes me depressed, where did I go wrong and what should I do now?

Thank you for the good words but still seeing other people getting ppo and here I am having no ppo inspite of having 1+ year of internship experience and parents expectations also on one side, this all things creates pressure on me🥲

Your career is a marathon, not a short paced sprint, abhi dekha hi kya tumney, yet to pass out from college and worrying about pay 💰. You are equipped with practical industrial knowledge, means you are already ahead of 99 percent of fresher tech bros yet to be placed/ placed.

Why worry so soon, think about of scenarios 10 years from now,you with 1 cr home loan and two kids and old parents, fighting twist and turns of cruel tech industry, layoffs, onslaught of brighter younger engineers. You have to inculcate resilience, dont get too attached to results of your hard work, its a unpredictable series of storms waiting to hit you unaware, some will thrash you down, some will soar you to unimaginable heights. You want monotonous stability, do Bank PO, ssc, simple as that.

Hi thanks for the reality check but I am not thinking about stability right now, its just that what should I do now? Continue doing an internship or join a company as an full time Engineer but with less pay? And I am expecting to get paid more as I do have experience and skills.

Mitansh in these uncertain times, i would chose certainty over any any other negative points. There is huge crowd of experienced and struggling tier 1/2 freshers chasing a limited pile of jobs. You have advantage of early start, so go for full time opportunity as of now and keep looking for switch while working, it would be less mentally tax for you as a huge burden of no full time offer will be off your back. Have a taste of toxicity early, it will boost your immunity🤣
