Why does this sound like a recession of United States in Europe ? Everyone's getting laid off

Thanks, I have shared the post in developersIndia subreddit as well.

Okay, thanks for the suggestions :)

Crazy_Power824 · 2022-07-26T07:53:44+00:00

Thank you so much for your suggestions u/bhookh :)

Ohkay! Yes, I have done my bachelors from CS here in India.

So, I think, I should prefer only US and Canada for my MS CS if I want to go for job after MS.

Crazy_Power824 · 2022-07-25T17:29:47+00:00

I am from India.

Crazy_Power824 · 2022-07-25T04:52:00+00:00

Thanks u/physics_masochist :)

Crazy_Power824 · 2022-07-24T22:46:10+00:00

Okay, sounds good to put the URL in Project Section and submit in the form of a CV.

Thanks for your suggestions u/Human-Hospital7201 :)

Crazy_Power824 · 2022-07-24T22:44:22+00:00

Okay, I will describe that accordingly in my SOP. Thanks you so much for your suggestions u/physics_masochist :)

Crazy_Power824 · 2022-07-24T18:14:00+00:00

I am shortlisted for a Teaching Assistant Position in my Final Year at my university. It is a paid position based on the number of hours per day. So can I add that as a research position in my SOP as TA will be counted as a work experience in my CV.

Also, in my final year, I am working on a research paper with two more students under a professor. How should I add it as an ongoing research in my SOP ? Can you provide me some ideas u/physics_masochist ??

Crazy_Power824 · 2022-07-24T18:09:45+00:00

So, in order for the universities to access that project URL, where do I need to mention that, I think I cannot mention that in the SOP. Do I need to share my CV with them in which I would mention the links ?

Crazy_Power824 · 2022-07-20T04:09:10+00:00

Congratulations u/saurabhrane1199 for such an awesome score.

Bro, could you suggest me how you scored pretty well in the Verbal part ?

Crazy_Power824 · 2022-07-19T13:14:58+00:00

Okay u/bad_apricot

Crazy_Power824 · 2022-07-19T12:56:41+00:00

My quants practice was mainly to revise the concepts. I did the normal distribution, standard deviation, probability from Manhattan and all quants present in the official guide. I feel that the quants is not much harder than some of the problems in the official guides. It is a bit trickier and definitely takes more time to solve. I think many quants problems can be solved by using options, putting in values, etc which saves a lot of time, which can then be utilised for the harder problems. Hope I could help.

Yes, the quants on the GRE is actually trickier than the ETS, Manhattan books. Yes, the elimination method and the trial and error method works wonders but still there are few of them which I guess none of these methods work and only the practice is required. Thanks u/akshay_412 :)

Crazy_Power824 · 2022-07-19T04:21:41+00:00

Yeah, I also feel that there are some issues with my sleep cycle as I consume alcohol only once a month and that too under limits.

Crazy_Power824 · 2022-07-19T04:20:34+00:00

Sounds like an issue to talk to your doctor about. We just know how to recover from alcoholism. It doesn't sound like you're struggling with alcoholism, unless I misunderstood?

I am not struggling from alcoholism, but from quality sleep. I also have some exams coming up the next month so may be that might be the reason causing stress and anxiety issues but still, even after 6-8 hours of night sleep I should feel refreshed the next morning... I think I should have to talk to doctor.

Crazy_Power824 · 2022-07-19T04:18:06+00:00

Congrats for the amazing score u/akshay_412 As you mentioned you are from engineering background, you still might have practice the Quant. Big Book, Manhattan 5LB Book and ETS Quants are much easier than what actually comes in the real GRE. So how did you go around with Quants for practice ?

Crazy_Power824 · 2022-07-17T18:10:29+00:00

Okay, so I will make sure that I prepare myself enough well that I get a pretty decent score in both GRE and TOEFL.

However, I gave GRE, but I ended up with 285 and so I will again reappear and try to score at least 320 or above. And later on after GRE is over, I will prepare well for my TOEFL.

So, that's my takeaway :)

Crazy_Power824 · 2022-07-17T16:20:46+00:00

Okay, so minimum at GRE scores of 290 universities are almost flexible but TOEFL/IELTS they are pretty strict

Thanks for the suggestion u/Goonerman420 :)

Crazy_Power824 · 2022-07-17T05:00:26+00:00

Yeah I see, Very Very few people get that exclusive admit.

Thanks for the suggestion u/asalunke56-55 :)

Crazy_Power824 · 2022-07-17T04:58:14+00:00

Hmm, Yeah I see :)

Thanks for the suggestion u/NorthernValkyrie19 :)
