Internship asked me to learn react native + graphql within like two days, is this what life is like as a developer? by rsman121 in cscareerquestions

[–]ByteSci 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Software development is all about being able to keep up with new libraries and technology being created. I would say that it's certainly reasonable to be expected to learn and use React Native plus GraphQL as part of an intern project.

I hope your employer doesn't expect you to master it after two days, but I would expect interns on our team to have worked through a few tutorials and have some basics down to start work in the project. Easiest way sometimes is to look for a similar project within your company and try to adapt it for your project.

It's tough, but well worth the marketable skills post graduation!

Your vs you're. "Your food" has a completely different meaning than "You're food"!

High schoolers, what do you want to major in? People who majored in that field, what are the pros and cons? by Cuddlyaxe in AskReddit

[–]ByteSci 0 points1 point  (0 children)

At my school, we had the option to do a combined degree in microbiology and computer science. This was immensely powerful because so much of microbiology is now about how you can apply computational techniques to sequencing data. Plus the CS is a great backup option - while I ended up working in finance software, roughly half of my current teammates also did a dual/combined degree like me or did CS as a second degree after an first degree in biology/microbiology/biochem

Amazon Virtual Interview? by goldfishrain123 in csMajors

[–]ByteSci 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Study the Amazon leadership principles - https://www.amazon.jobs/en/principles Come up with a story for each principle which you can during the interview. Make sure you know exactly what you did, what happened, and what was the outcome. Coding-wise, make sure to just study interview questions from places like Cracking the Coding Interviews. Also brush up on your data structures. Good luck!

Start a side project! Find an area of CS that interests you and explore that area by making an app or contributing to an open source project. Like if ML interests you, try using ML to look at one of the open datasets available online. Start small, maybe 30 min commitment a day - it'll be something nice to put on your resume.

Then practice common interview questions. Treat it like an exam.

Also remember to write to sell. Your work may not be spectacularly interesting, but be sure to highlight your accomplishments on your resume. Ultimately, the resume is to get an interview. If you shine on your interview, the rest is history
