I can see visible trends in big companies hiring fresh CS graduates. Happening a lot where I work as well. But it's a competetive market; CS interns / graduates would have to demonstrate lots of side projects , hackathon involvement etc. If you are not up to speed you could still reach out to Mid Tier vendors (that is, NOT IBM, Accenture etc) and try to get an entry level (contracting) job with them. These mid-tier vendors do work directly with the clients. They might not be bigger service delivery partners like TCS, CTS, IBM etc. Mostly, they are NOT your conventional Indian Recruiting Consultancies. You Don't have to go that route. I would say start connecting with recruiters from these companies. Create a pro LinkedIn profile. Lookup new trends of presentment there. In Boston, few examples of mid tier to larger IT recruiting firms are, say, Beacon Consulting, Bridgewater Consulting, TekSystems, MODIS etc
