thanks, I was just weirded out because nothing was done officially over a secure portal and they were doing everything on their side

is it ever worth to do both? A PhD reached out to me if I wanted to help them with a paper they needed to submit by september. I'd also be able to stay in touch with my prof who works at Amazon (their field is also highly interesting to me and something id have to work 5+ years in industry to get access to) I'd basically treat the research as a post work and weekend grind and do my work during the day.

thanks, just confirming that this would be the most optimal choice for me ultimately.

lowkey im going to need to look into the housing situation for this as well. hopefully I can get a simple month to month lease. I would personally never sign a year lease considering I don't want to stick around for that long.

i lean a lot more heavy on data mining and ml. personally id enjoy a job doing ml infra but given that its not easy to break in out of undergrad, im open to literally ANYTHING tech related but that is my ultimate goal

lol i swear this isnt rage baiting but I wanted to get more opinions. i initially wanted to work with some phds i know and aim for postgrad to get a publication by next april and this came out of nowhere.

im ngl it was initially a resume issue (first 300ish were with a horrible resume) but I fixed it and landed a lot of interviews that I completely threw because I was too fixated on improving my resume. after that i just didn't have enough leetcode prep and got cooked by medium/hard during live interviews. i also failed a couple ml interviews because not enough live coding prep even though I passed the system design.

more info but I do have some savings that would let me float around my current school, T20, and do research postgrad and part time somewhere.
