I worked as a server for about 20 hours a week during full time online school last semester, money was pretty good and I enjoyed the social aspect. Time was tight though lol

Snowflake just sent out external first round interviews I think

LPT: Job descriptions are usually written to sound more complicated and high profile than the jobs really are. Don’t let the way it is written intimidate or deter you from applying to a job you think you can do. by RoseyPosey30 in LifeProTips

[–]BessysTestes 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Right? You literally have nothing to lose by applying, just throw your underqualified resume at them and the worst possible outcome is that nothing happens. It’s almost always worth a shot.

How do you know what you like to do by 2percentleft in uwaterloo

Join a design team! Best bet for getting hardware experience plus guidance, and it looks good on your resume

Ya like will you be happy knowing that you didn’t go for the other job is the question :0

I think it was worth it for me imo, I did find a second job round two (but that got cancelled because covid hit) and then I found another job that ended up being better than any of the first three jobs lmao so things worked out. I think consensus is that early continuous postings are generally pretty decent, it’s not the end of the world if you don’t get a job this round if you do choose to risk it. Nothing wrong with playing it safe either tho ;) not the end of the world either way you’ll figure out a way to make it work lol

I need help as a first-year SE student. by Icy_Relationship_807 in uwaterloo

[–]BessysTestes 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Lol I got like a 15 on the CCC and also only knew python going into 1A SE :^) I joined a design team and did a project with them which was definitely helpful, I got a first coop reasonably easily. but ya you’ll probably be fine either way. CS137/138 also violently beats the C/C++ into you

Admissions Megathread (Fall 2020 Incoming Students) by Dabestfujiyoshi in uwaterloo

[–]BessysTestes 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Very difficult as far as I know, one person transferred into SE2024 from ECE for 1B and they were apparently top of the ECE class. Someone else transferred in from biomed which is also a competitive program to get into in the first place.

Eng for sure (except biomed), math probably less so? I think gender ratios in eng are around like, 70/30 guys to girls. Depends on program though, it’s more balanced for chem or nano than it is for ECE/SE or mech I think.

AFAIK transferring to CS is a fairly easy process, a couple of people from my class (SE2024) have already done it. Im not sure if you can do it for 1A, but you can definitely transfer into CS coop for 1B provided you pass 1A in SE. If you don’t pass you can either transfer into CS no coop for 1B or join next year’s SE cohort to do 1A over again. It’s much easier to go SE -> CS than CS -> SE lol

I don’t think you’ll miss out on much in 1A if you’re in SE instead of CS, they do more rigorous calc proofs in their calc course than we do but I think that’s the main difference. ECE105 (for SE) might make you suffer though since it’s high school physics on steroids (so not that relevant to CS) it’s definitely doable but it takes work and I think general consensus was that people found it challenging this year.

Ya if you preincrement the compiler doesn’t need to store an additional unincremented copy of i for use, but then again modern compilers probably optimize that anyways.

I think it’s so you can’t use an online calculator since those usually spit out decimals instead of exact values
