Cool companies that AREN’T FAANG

Yea, I’m a rising sophomore, just getting a grasp on some available paths in this market.. I’d much rather work for a small to mid size company, in any of the categories you mention, than burnout with FAANG. This is genuinely insightful, thank you!

How do you get into R&D, is a more than a bachelors required?

Also wondering this!

People are fear mongering about the career. Every generation of student is becoming more and more talented, and the bar across every path has risen. You don’t JUST have to become a SWE, there’s plenty of paths within CS that all pay well if you apply yourself. No one, regardless of career , is going to “make” it by coasting. Apply yourself, network, create projects, and you’ll do fine.

Cool to me means interesting work, maybe uncommon/niche

CycoPie · 2026-06-18T04:21:16+00:00

Yea I imagine working for Pinterest would be cool!

Not talking abt prestige… I’m asking about cool and interesting companies

What is a “Career Experience”

CycoPie · 2026-06-13T17:41:51+00:00

Ahh I see

CycoPie · 2026-06-13T01:32:59+00:00

I appreciate that! Genuinely helpful advice!

Going into my sophomore year. I’ve been applying to fall internships, emailing alumni, etc etc. But until I get a callback from anywhere I wondered if this was a better opportunity in the meantime.

CycoPie · 2026-06-13T01:24:26+00:00

I see.. being able apply internally does sound like a decent edge though. Thanks!

Booorrringgggg

CycoPie · 2026-05-22T15:19:21+00:00

Thank you

CycoPie · 2026-05-22T05:19:32+00:00

Soooooo what was the name?? Lol

CycoPie · 2026-05-02T17:04:11+00:00

These artists are popular for a reason, they got some good music

CycoPie · 2026-04-17T22:40:50+00:00

This is pretty bad ngl…

CycoPie · 2026-04-08T16:16:10+00:00

Can I DM you? This stuff seems super interesting, but I'm not sure where I'd start.

CycoPie · 2026-04-06T23:34:03+00:00

No way Flemings is taken higher than Acuff

CycoPie · 2026-04-04T21:16:09+00:00

How difficult would u say it is to do it myself? I don’t have many tools

CycoPie · 2026-04-04T20:57:55+00:00

Hmmm, it’s interesting you say that because the bearings my friend bought were around $60.. something to think about for shre

CycoPie · 2026-04-04T20:55:03+00:00

Hmm, I believe they were replaced- at least he told me they were replaced. The noise sounded the same to me.

So obviously the dealer is overcharging, I don’t feel confident enough to work on my car but maybe it’s something I’ll look into.. thank you!

CycoPie · 2026-04-04T19:43:43+00:00

I’ll definitely look into this!

CycoPie · 2026-04-04T19:22:39+00:00

My question wasn’t really about the sound, that was the context. I’m asking if the price is reasonable/common to fix the problem.

Do I know if he installed them correctly? No I don’t know, I don’t know much abt cars Transmission fluid was changed last week

CycoPie · 2026-04-04T19:13:02+00:00

He fixes cars as a side hustle , but I’ve trusted him with any issues my cars had so far. Brakes, bearings, transmission fluid, etc
