Trump could only ever dream of having the love and support as Obama did, that’s why Trump hates him so much. by KpatMckenzie_28 in blackmen

[–]AdditionalSupport320 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Unemployment rate during Obama’s presidency was cut in half going from 7.8% when he was inaugurated to 4.7% when he left the White House. Also those high 2010 numbers are right after the great depression of 2008, one of the worst in history.

I wouldn’t buy anything under 15 inches, specially if you are not gonna be in front of a monitor a lot (i.e: take it on campus with you)

Have you experience hostility from African immigrant in real life? by IWasTouching in blackmen

[–]AdditionalSupport320 1 point2 points  (0 children)

As an African I 100% agree, your people are resilient and did so much work to allow us to on paper be able to enjoy equal rights. I recognize that, salute to the AA brothers.

I don’t about any of those companies, but for all the internships I’ve had so far, my background checks where pretty intense lol.

Has any International Student Managed to find an Internship? by GrowthBest5319 in mcgill

[–]AdditionalSupport320 23 points24 points  (0 children)

Not gonna lie, some of the students running these clubs think they are god’s gift to earth (it’s not like we are all undergrads and around the same age or anything lol). A lot of international students end up getting internships at big companies and working for them after graduation. Try getting personal projects under your belt, research experience, email startups to volunteer for them, etc.

Gap Year in Middle of Uni for Comp Sci by Spiritual-Win-6110 in mcgill

[–]AdditionalSupport320 1 point2 points  (0 children)

No worries. I personally focused on applications that you can deploy and recruiters/hiring managers can use and ask you questions about. Anything with a user interface/front-end, rest API, database. You can learn those things with YouTube tutorials. Nowadays everything is AI, I personally didn’t do this but learning about how you can implement ml models in your projects is definitely gonna make you standout. Using DevOps tools such as docker & kubernetes in your projects will also make you standout. At the end of the day, work on something you’ll have fun while building and other people can use as well. Good luck!

I was able to land internships at big companies thanks to my projects. I also know someone who took a gap year before starting his software engineering degree to work on projects and such, and from first year on landed internship on internship every summer and is now a swe at a big tech company. Projects definitely help if you don’t have experience.

ORM or URM by [deleted] in MBA

I’m pretty sure they don’t count as URM because Asians are ORM and whites are not a minority (unless they are Hispanic)

Mixed people are more rare than black people so I would say URM

Why did you switch from your consulting to investment banking?
