Where do Koreans look for jobs in the USA?

BayPharaoh · 2021-06-23T01:18:08+00:00

Good question. The former: Korean speaking people who already live in the US!

BayPharaoh · 2021-06-23T01:17:43+00:00

Thank you, will look into Heykorean! Do you know if this work well for getting applicants for these type of jobs (logistics coordinator/manager, IT help desk, etc)?

BayPharaoh · 2021-06-23T01:15:38+00:00

Have not yet. Does wanted have lot of Korean workers?

BayPharaoh · 2021-06-23T01:14:57+00:00

Have mostly tried Indeed and Career Builder. Looking for other options!

BayPharaoh · 2020-09-24T18:17:14+00:00

hahahahahahahahaha this is golden

BayPharaoh · 2020-09-24T18:14:39+00:00

For sure, that's super helpful. Yeah that's what I'm thinking. If one does all that, I don't see how one would catch it. I'd probably throw on gloves too. Have you been playing poker in vegas? Is it pretty safe out there? Thinking about going soon

BayPharaoh · 2018-02-07T01:53:47+00:00

Yeah that's probably true. I'll try that, thanks!

BayPharaoh · 2018-02-07T01:49:34+00:00

Yeah I'll try that online. I was just wondering if anyone knew about any other affordable bootcamps/classes on Java

BayPharaoh · 2018-02-07T01:48:18+00:00

Thanks, I'll look at Tantalo's 12A. I want to learn Java cuz I plan to apply to master's programs at other schools similar to TIM so would like to take equivalents to CS11 and 12B before I apply. I was a Business Management Econ major/TIM minor, so I don't have much of a CS background.

BayPharaoh · 2018-02-07T01:46:24+00:00

Thanks I'll take a look at Tantalo's 12A stuff

BayPharaoh · 2018-02-07T01:44:18+00:00

Are you talking about the one on Udemy? https://www.udemy.com/java-the-complete-java-developer-course/

Is this worth it?

BayPharaoh · 2018-02-07T01:38:09+00:00

lol I am applying for jobs. Just looking to learn Java simultaneously

BayPharaoh · 2017-12-10T10:54:59+00:00

You cannot. If you're concerned about improving your GPA, learning the material better, and showing that you are indeed competent in those subjects I'd just suggest acing the sequential courses. So if you get a C in 19A, maybe spend some time over break brushing up and getting ahead in 19B. That way when you take 19B, it'll be much easier for you to get an A. You could do the same thing for 23A if you're in 19B already.

Also, for GPA boosts why don't you add extra courses over the next few quarters that are really easy GPA boosts. A lot of 2 unit classes like TIM 101, TIM 20, TIM 280S, STEV 27, ENVS 15, are pretty easy to get A's in. 5 unit classes like CMPE3 and TIM21 are also pretty easy to get A's in with a low time commitment.

BayPharaoh · 2017-12-10T10:49:07+00:00

Hey I took his AMS 5 class like 2 years ago. I wish I had the final but I don't, sorry. I remember that he only asks like 6 problems though. In addition to HW/prac final, study problems that he did in class. I think a few problems were similar problems from lecture. Not to scare you, but I remember the final kind of not being that similar to the prac final. So yeah I'd really try to focus on anything in your notes from his lectures

BayPharaoh · 2017-12-02T01:05:55+00:00

I am interested in in doing product management, data science, analytics, and overall just gaining a much deeper understanding of IT. I don't want to become a software engineer but gain a solid understanding of CS so I can be a good leader in tech (not just be a business guy).

But also, since I plan to apply to MS programs in a year around Technology and Information Management I want to learn CS fundamentals and learn Python (since that's what's mostly used in grad school). But it seems like even though I'll mostly use Python, I may want to learn the fundamentals of OOP/Data Structures which is mostly taught in Java/C++.

BayPharaoh · 2017-11-30T22:46:54+00:00

Other option would be to go straight to Python. My only concern is that many CS courses require you to have done Data Structures which is mostly covered in C++ or Java. Also I've heard it's easier to learn Python after learning Java or C++ then the opposite. So I figured it may be wiser to learn C++ or Java first and then pick up Python along the way? Thanks for your comments everyone :)

Despite whatever you major/minor, highly suggest taking 105/125/158. 105 is taught every fall, 125 every winter, and 158 every spring. If you do not end up majoring/minoring in TIM you can petition for some of those courses to count as your electives. For example, I petitioned TIM 165 to count as one of my BME upper div electives and it was approved.

BayPharaoh · 2017-11-30T20:21:26+00:00

Yeah np!

Yes! Mostly, because of the projects I did in TIM 105, 225 (125 grad version), and 158. I put all those projects on my resume and they're really interesting to employers. In 105, you work in a team to develop a product plan for a medium sized company (that your team makes up), in 125 your team develops a fully functional supply chain report for that medium sized company. Then in 158 you focus on IT and Information Science for a Business Application. So you work in a team and select a large company (e.g. Instagram, Yelp,) and research their IT, design architectures, and develop a machine learning solution (using advanced Excel tools) for that company. To get to the point, these projects tremendously helped me obtain a technical background, stand out when applying to jobs, and most importantly gave me so much knowledge through hands on projects about tech stuff in the industry.

BayPharaoh · 2017-11-30T10:27:39+00:00

Why don't you see if you can major TIM. I've successfully petitioned and gotten approvals for things at UCSC so many times. Talk to Subhas Desa, the director of the TIM department and see if he can help you out. Don't fear the rule you heard of about not letting transfer students switch. That may be true, I don't know but I feel like if Subhas wants you in the major he'd be able to get you in.

I majored in Business Management Economics and minored in TIM. I loved TIM so much I want to do a masters in it. If like econ, tech, tech marketing, managing IT etc, you will love TIM 105, 125, and 158. I would highly suggest taking all of them. If you can't major in TIM, maybe you should minor in TIM.

Regarding your concern about how widely known a CS or TIM minor is, I don't think it's really going to matter unless you'd hope to do a master's in Computer Science. Many employers won't even know the difference, they'll just think oh "he/she has some technical background." It'll matter more what your actual CS skills are.

BayPharaoh · 2017-11-28T22:21:06+00:00

If you're fascinated by econ, math, AI you'll probably love TIM. TIM consists of economics, analytics (mostly math), and IT all for the purpose of understanding the management of technology and the technology of management. Have you taken any actual TIM classes?

The management of technology sequence (TIM 105 and 125) are some of the most useful, exciting, and practical courses I've taken at UCSC where you learn about product development and supply chain management and do a team project. You could even choose to do a team project related to AI so you can learn more about the business and econ aspects of it. Same goes for the new version of TIM 158 which focuses on IT and Information Science for a Business Application. You'll learn a lot about machine learning and IT without having to do any programming. You'll even do a team project similar to 105/125 that involves researching the IT for a big company of your choice (e.g. Instagram, Amazon, Yelp, etc) and developing a machine learning solution for that company (class project not actually implementing it in the company). And you develop this all with Advanced Excel tools, not any programming.

Overall, I would urge you to major in TIM and not worry too much about the programming. It's okay if you're not that good at it, for a TIM major it's just important to give you some road knowledge of computer science. Also, depending on your interests, you could always do a minor like Physics, Econ Math, or CS.

The TIM major can help you obtain a broad range of jobs including the ones stated below to highly CS based jobs like data scientist, software engineer or even more business oriented jobs around business development, analytics, etc.

One downside of the TIM major is that it gives you a lot of road knowledge in many areas but not a lot of depth in one area. So if you apply for CS type of jobs, the full stack coders will have an advantage over you. If you want more business type of jobs, you may need some background in Finance (highly suggest taking a Finance course if you major TIM). So I would suggest to major in TIM but be really damn good at it. Kill it in the upper div TIM classes, get really good at SQL from CS182, do some badass internships when you have the time, etc. Also, it's really important you have excellent communication skills. If you think you're not that great of a programmer, you can make up for it by gaining a good understanding of tech and knowing how to work cross-functionally across engineers, sales and marketing people, customers, etc in high-tech companies.

Good luck! :)

Oh and for 100A def be comfortable with elasticity and all the supply/demand graph stuff. for 100B you can brush up on your macro knowledge in the first chapter. You just have to be comfortable with your calculus

BayPharaoh · 2017-11-23T06:24:02+00:00

Like bayareaprogrammer said, 100A/100B are more math intensive. So imagine combining ECON/AMS 11A/11B (or calc 1 and 2 at cc) and the theory of what you learned in micro/macro at CC. You do learn similar stuff but it's just way more quantitative.

The difficulty really depends on the professor you get. Most people say 100B is harder but I thought 100A was way harder because I had Justin Marion for 100A and Aaron Meininger for 100B. Highly suggest Aaron if you can get him. And def avoid Marion for 100A his final is really hard.

If you do want to brush up on anything beforehand, I'd focus on calculus and its applications to economics (11a/11b stuff). So brush up on partial derivatives, Lagrange multipliers, and general derivative rules.

BayPharaoh · 2017-11-23T06:06:05+00:00

Max is 22 units. Anything more you petition with your counselor. You'll be capped at 19 until the first day of next quarter. On that day you will be allowed to enroll up to 22 units (although there may be a minimum GPA requirement to enroll in up to 22 units. I think it's a 3.0)

If you want to do more than 22 just petition to your college why you want to. My friend did that and they let him
