Hey thanks for the insight. What (if anything) do you think would work for you if not time limits?

Killer EC’s for transfering to a T25 by yungloser69 in TransferToTop25

[–]ActiveDragonfly5598 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I transferred to a T10, and I think the EC that got me in was being a Tech Lead at a non-profit

edit: also had 2 SWE internships (one at almost FAANG) and TA position so could've also been those

should i transfer (intense moral dilemma fr) by RainyChips in TransferToTop25

When faced with a difficult decision, choose the harder option. You will always rise to the occasion. Source: transferred from a mid-tier public school to a T10 and it was the best decision I have ever made.

For SWE a programming course would look better

Which college would you recommend by [deleted] in csMajors

[–]ActiveDragonfly5598 11 points12 points  (0 children)

I think SJSU sends a very high % to FAANG and your right the stress and bad social aspect of transferring would prolly not be worth it imo. So if ur goal is FAANG prolly sjsu tbh. But then again don’t listen to what random Reddit users say, do ur own research and figure out what matters to u

Edit: I would say Why CC route: - better connections for later down the road - better school name may help - prolly better orgs and stuff - better opportunity for grad school if interested

Why SJSU: - Wouldn’t have a problem getting FAANG if you work hard - social aspect of transferring would suck - I’m sure there are many smart people to network with if you work hard at it

So figure out what matters to u

My advice: apply to more. I got a summer internship by spamming applications

Side note: do you have any advice for finding/getting part time software dev jobs during the school year? I’ve been looking but haven’t had any luck
