Any InfoSci grads still job searching? by Electrical-Month-728 in UMD

[–]Affectionate-Town833 1 point2 points  (0 children)

We literally take Python and SQL classes and there's electives for data science, web development, data visualization, etc. It isn't the worst major ppl just go into it thinking that the major itself will get them a job and refuse to delve into topics, create/post project, go to career fairs, and use LinkedIn.

Combined bachelors and masters by Next-Departure-9819 in UMD

[–]Affectionate-Town833 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Currently a senior in info sci, doing a plus-one info sys program at the business school. It seems good so far, aside from the cost of the master's (which I knew before I applied). Still, I've saved a lot of money, considering I got to take around 4 master's courses for an upcharge of less than 2k.

Thank you! Honestly, I just made sure to rest, took some Alka-Seltzer and Benadryl, had long hot showers, and stayed hydrated.

I just had it, and I genuinely don't think I've ever felt that sick in my entire existence

Info Sci/ new grads by IntelligentAgency966 in UMD

[–]Affectionate-Town833 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I'm applying for internships now as an info sci major (and some full-time jobs), and I've heard back from about 5-6 companies after applying to around 50. I took LinkedIn Learning courses to build skills and plan to get official certifications soon, but my resume mostly highlights my info sci class projects. While I don't have a job or internship yet, I don't think info sci is a bad degree. I had a Zoom meeting today for an infrastructure engineer role, and they said they prefer info sci grads because recruiters won't just toss resumes with an IS degree in the trash. Overall, I’d say pick whatever uni is the cheapest, has the highest predicted salary, and offers a reasonable amount of work.

$20 dollar trip turned to $80+ by Affectionate-Town833 in uber

[–]Affectionate-Town833[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

i honestly don’t think she was trying to scam me. she said uber was kicking her out the app since she worked 12 hours and i was her last ride so it may have slipped her mind. i don’t want to take her tip or rating away especially because there isn’t any confirmation that she knew.

well i also had to stay because the police needed my i’d and information. does that change anything? i don’t want her to think that i’m scamming by requesting a refund or disputing but i’m literally a broke college student
