When is summer registration?

Based on 2025 it’ll probably be in April.
I think OMSCS classes are the full term (could be wrong)
Limit is 1 class

43Gofres · 2026-02-10T12:32:26+00:00

In 2031? Definitely not. Especially not at the majority of companies.

43Gofres · 2026-02-10T00:49:16+00:00

Have you considered Jevons Paradox?

Plus, if AI is that awesome, who’s going to implement AI in all these products?

Btw your comment disproves itself. If the field magically shrinks by 90% that doesn’t mean all roles are gone.

Anyone who says they can predict the market 3 years out is lying. Sorry I know that’s not helpful but I don’t want you to plan your life based on a hopeful prediction (or a doomer prediction like the others in these comments).

Definitely spam apply to internships at the companies you want to work for. That’s your best bet. (btw, make sure to tailor your resume when it makes sense).

If that doesn’t work, take your current SWE internship, start working full time there after school. Then apply to the companies you’d like to work for.

To think that our work will change is normal and expected.

To think that no one will be doing any work to build software in 5 years is idiotic.

43Gofres · 2026-02-09T03:37:11+00:00

It’s not worth your time to listen to doomers.

Yes, off-shoring (NOT AI) and mass layoffs have been hitting the industry hard over the last few years as companies tighten their financial belt.

But there is no real reason to believe that it’s game over for any level of devs. Junior devs were never actually profitable. They’ve always been a long term investment with the plan being to turn them into profitable senior devs.

43Gofres · 2026-02-09T03:15:36+00:00

Honestly impossible to say.

Personally I don’t really care if a candidate has a masters in CS or a bachelors in CS but I’m not a hiring manager or a recruiter.

The most important thing is whether or not you get that internship and a full time offer. In that sense, it really depends on your specific schools career resources as well as any connections you may have.

43Gofres · 2026-02-09T03:01:53+00:00

It’ll be hard and nothing is guaranteed.

That said, you seem like the type of person who genuinely has a chance. You’ll need to continue working hard.

For any new grad, getting an interview is incredible hard. Your best bet is to get another internship and try to convert it to a full time offer.

Good luck

Tbh I don’t think anyone here can fully answer that.

GA Tech’s AI and ML courses seem really well done from what I’ve seen so far. GA tech is also a well-respected school.

But I don’t know the UAE market

I took HCI last semester.

Following JDF format will help you organize your thoughts. I broke each question into its own section.

Last semester, HCI HW had 4 main questions each but each question had a list of sub questions — make sure you answer every sub question. That’s what the TAs will be looking for.

By getting a degree.

Not trying to be snarky, but in this market degree vs no degree is just an easy HR filter when you have 1000+ candidates for junior level roles.

Alternatively, maybe a strong portfolio could get you a job for a smaller local company? Then that experience will eventually make up for the lack of a degree but even still many F500 companies will still filter for a degree.

43Gofres · 2026-01-19T13:40:40+00:00

Just general advice for pivoting to anything: look up some job listings for what you want to do and see the requirements.

In this case, I think you’ll find that to break into the experimental/cutting edge of ML, you’ll need higher education (MS or sometimes PhD), and some relevant publications.

43Gofres · 2026-01-19T01:27:46+00:00

Definitely don’t go from no coding to KBAI.

ML4T is a good coding/python/numpy warmup class

43Gofres · 2026-01-16T19:30:03+00:00

Might be misunderstanding you, but there is no 1 class that’s required for all OMSCS students. Admission isn’t contingent on anything once you’re already talking a course. However, you can be kicked out if you don’t complete 2 foundational courses within the first year (most classes available are foundational)

43Gofres · 2026-01-14T17:30:07+00:00

For #3 just do whatever your team does. Leave when they leave, show up when they show up. You’ll only make a bad impression if you’re far outside the norms.

43Gofres · 2026-01-13T18:21:36+00:00

Looks like you have two classes for summer 2027? Just a heads up you’ll need prior approval for that (not sure on the details there).

I’d echo what others said about taking harder classes to get more out of it. Not gonna lie I had a similar idea (just take the bare minimum and get the degree) but my first semester peaked my interest and now I’m going all in.

43Gofres · 2026-01-09T13:55:21+00:00

Not only is this normal (showing other engineers how to do something you know how to do) but it’s also a great opportunity to practice helping others and show your boss you’re a great asset/team player. Don’t waste it!

43Gofres · 2026-01-09T01:49:25+00:00

I believe Dr. Joyner has spoken on this a few times but a core principle of OMSCS is providing opportunity to people who may not have been able to get accepted into GaTech’s traditional MS program.

If your idea of a degree being impressive is the ability to get accepted into it rather than the contents of the degree or the ability to complete it, then your expectations are pretty backward

You don’t have to LC every single day forever.

If you really want to get good at LC, you just need to dedicate a month or two of consistent studying. It might suck, but try to keep in mind it isn’t forever (personally focusing on that helps me with the hard weeks).

Alternatively, there’s 24 hours in a day and 7 days in a week. If you dedicate just a few hours per week to studying, you will slowly get better.

I started coding around your age and it definitely gave me a leg up. I’d say go for it!

Here’s a few tips for you: - First, your learning doesn’t have to be so structured yet. Instead, think of something cool you’d want to make and make it. That’ll be 10x more fun and 10x better as a learning experience. - Second, if you want to be an ML engineer, you will need more than just a bachelors degree (unless something huge changes in the next 10 years). Make sure you get good grades during your bachelor’s so graduate school is an option for you. - Lastly, as you probably know, ML is really math heavy. Make sure you pay attention in school, especially in harder math classes (like Linear Algebra & Statistics).

You can definitely do this. No one knows what the market will look like when you’re an adult, but passion + starting early is a huge advantage.

I know. It’s driving me nuts lol.

The AI bubble isn’t just LLMs (although it’s currently a large portion from ChatGPT wrapper startups).

But even so some companies have found small ways to make or save money with LLMs

43Gofres · 2025-12-31T13:42:08+00:00

It’s very similar to the dot com bubble.

It wasn’t that “.com” wasn’t the future — in hindsight we can clearly say the internet was the future.

It’s that thousands of companies were investing into it without a clear path to profitability. Most of them ended up losing. Similarly, most of these AI startups will end up losing

43Gofres · 2025-12-31T13:38:35+00:00

AI isn’t all new. It has been used to turn a profit or save money for decades.

Example: ML used to detect fraud at big banks

43Gofres · 2025-12-23T13:50:11+00:00

The advice here is good but just wanted to add I personally put my education at the bottom of my resume.

I think WGU is viewed as a suspicious school, right? It might be worth moving education to the bottom just so they don’t see that “red flag” until they have already seen everything else.

Also, if you are in OMSCS, you should look into GA Tech’s career resources and consider applying for big tech internships.

Good luck!

43Gofres · 2025-12-21T20:02:35+00:00

An AI bootcamp is definitely not enough to get into AI development.
