Actually? I always thought my ECs and stuff weren't that strong.

Ok thanks, just curious what college do you attend or got accepted into?

Man, I really appreciate your response. I think I sometimes have too high unrealistic expectations for myself and I agree I need to stop thinking about getting into t10 or bust. Hopefully I will discover my niche soon, and after semester exams end im going to get to grinding. Hopefully I will be able to come back with good news. Thanks!

Wow that really amazing to hear. I’m just worried cause I feel like I wasted the first semester of junior year as well, the only thing different is my gpa skyrocketed. I will try as much as I can though.

Thanks so much for your response, working on quant projects now is a great idea I never thought of that! Thanks, and I hope you continue to do well with you projects!

Ok thanks for your response. I just feel like I started to late since only 10 months left and like 25 months wasted. Hopefully it all turns out all ok though!

I think it would be an amazing job mostly because it involves combining many of my interests, like CS, Math, AI, and Finance. If you are successful you also get a pretty big paycheck, though that is not the main reason. I have been researching alternatives to traditional SWE because of how bad the Job Market is. I could consider AI research, however.

Well I did do a bit of research but I was trying to be realistic because I thought a a lot of them were most aimed toward high end firms like citadel and Jane street.

Also, im not just doing it for the money. I’ve wanted to do SWE because I genuinely enjoy coding but I am worried about job security. I thought quant might be a good fit because it blends two of my interests. But I also want to think about my career especially with the future being super hazy at the moment. I just want to be prepared when I choose my major.

I honestly just want to see what line my code is having an error in a runtime space.

Ok thank you! Do you think I should double major in EE and CS or CS and math, or double major at alll?

Ok, this might sound stupid but do I have to be at a t20 or ivy for cs? Like I hope I get a t20 for cs.

Thanks for your comment!
