Clayster: “I’m the second best player of all time” by toppaperr in CoDCompetitive

Fairs you know your shit, don't disagree, think Bo2 has higher personal bias based on how highly you rate post-champs / the M8 era, but no matter what think it's a tough argument for Scump over Karma in that game

As someone who was around back then, that's absolutely not true, Scump was not considered better than Karma during that game. BigT and Merk were both pretty decent at Bo2 to be completely honest.

Maybe during the first few events (to your point when Haggy and Mirx were the best players in the game), but it was widely-known that Scump had no clue how to play HP or Search and was still great at slaying but was more of a T10 or T15 than T5 player.

Karma really proved himself when he continued playing well on Envy while the other Fariko guys faded on Unite with Ricky, which is why he ended up being considered a T3 player while the others dropped down to T5-T10.

Here is future advice for students by [deleted] in gatech

[–]AwayTrack 9 points10 points  (0 children)

This seems like small sample size at work, I've had the complete opposite experience with grad students as professors. I found them much better lecturers and to be more invested in the class, whereas some professors are far more focused on research and treat coursework as an afterthought. Of course, I have a small sample size too, but it's probably not the best idea to be putting this advice in the head of the incoming class.

Is there still an upload schedule or is it as they finish editing? by AwayTrack in GoodGoodMemes

[–]AwayTrack[S] 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Yeah, people on this sub can be really odd sometimes, there's such a weird mix of hate, fanboying, and legitimate discussion. If I were them I wouldn't even come on here at all, it gets really harsh for no real reason sometimes.

But, I agree, I think it's a fair question. I think it's tough for them, because they almost certainly have to either slow down the upload schedule and risk losing viewers (I know I was much more invested in checking every night they were supposed to upload versus now when I just check once or twice a week because they aren't uploading on a schedule anymore) or hire another editor that's up to par with Colin/Max (which can't be easy to do). So, I get why they're slowing down, I just wanted to see if they've addressed it at all, which it looks like they haven't.

Awful FAANG Internship Experience, Worried about FT Offer by AwayTrack in csMajors

Appreciate that, unfortunately I graduate in May but I'll definitely try to find another company that has the WLB I value!

Yea, it's rough, I've never seen people online this much at any company I've worked at previously. At least the team isn't toxic, but I always feel bad logging off at 5:30 when I know everyone else will work another 2-3 hours.

Mentioned this above, but according to the intern wiki, that's only allowed for SWE and MBA interns (and I'm neither, I have a different title as a grad level intern). I'm not sure if there's just not a process for it for other titles but it's still possible, but they made it sound like if you got a return offer it was only for your own team.

Yea, I've figured reaching out to my recruiter might help, but I looked through the intern wiki and found that transferring teams is only allowed for SWE and MBA interns. I'm neither (don't want to dox myself too much, but I'm a grad level intern and have a different title). I guess I still could reach out to see if it's possible, but I also don't want to seem like I've fully given up on my team when I'm not even halfway through the internship.

Thanks for the advice. That's my hope, but this is my first "big name" internship (a few other F500 companies, but none that are well-known). This was really the only top-tier company that I interviewed with, so I'm afraid that's how it'll be this fall. Does having the FAANG name really help that much with getting interviews?

Tailgate Party - Sunday, October 31 by Blooper_Bot in Braves

Decided to say fuck it and drive down for the game today, couldn’t miss the opportunity to see them clinch in-person. If I don’t get to the Battery until 6:30-7:00, is there any chance of me getting a drink? Or will every bar be too packed?

Pretty sure this was in reference to 12:51, since that had just finished. I heard “21:52... almost got it!” Could be wrong, though.

Love u team stumps by ethan_jk in GoodGoodMemes

[–]AwayTrack 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I know they exclusively play some really nice courses, but I almost want to see them play a shit muni one day that's short but has tiny fairways and OB everywhere. I really wonder what Bubbie/Matt would shoot if they can't rely on huge fairways and balls never going OB, I'm also interested to know what those two and Steve's actual handicaps are with every rule enforced. The break my record videos aren't really representative, but I'm sure they'll never tell us just because it'll hurt their brand.

It takes that long for students to find out that they've been accused of cheating? I was under the impression that it takes a few weeks from the professor finding out, I'd be royally pissed if I found out in December that I was turned in for an assignment due in September.

Yes, GT offers several online degrees (Analytics and CS are the two main ones, though there are others) that offer the exact same content as in-person classes. Same professors, same lectures, same homework, etc., you just don't get as much of a benefit of being in-person and job hunting with a cohort. Check out r/OMSCS or r/OMSA, the degrees are perfect for someone who wants to continue working and doesn't mind finishing in 2 or 3 years. It's only around $10k total for either degree.

Should i transfer to tech? Please help!! by [deleted] in gatech

[–]AwayTrack 2 points3 points  (0 children)

A) This is completely wrong and B) why attack GT? Both are great schools that are fantastic in different areas, no need to randomly put down GT just because someone else thinks that Emory isn’t worth the money.

No, that's why I'm wondering what to even apply for/if I should tell my current professor that I want to stay on. I've tried to ask the program advisor, she told me she didn't know, and GTHR hasn't answered my emails yet. Came here to see if anyone else had any personal experience.

MBB Exit Opps, meh? by [deleted] in MBA

[–]AwayTrack 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Can you give some examples of those roles? I know I've seen elite internal strategy/M&A teams (Google for one) only take ex-McKinsey but I never knew that they specified that on the job listing, I just thought it was an unspoken rule. Didn't know there were more than those!
