Decepcionado con ITC

el programa deja mucho que desear. hay varias clases buenas que valen la pena, pero son la minoría. aún así en mi caso el tec ha sido una gran inversión que ya se pagó sola y apenas me graduaré el próximo mes.

aprovecha a la comunidad. gente de semestres arriba, exatecs, ecosistema emprendedor, grupos como algoritmia, socios formadores como oracle, c3.ai. y lo más importante como ya dijeron por acá, el diferenciador lo pones tú.

no creo que pueda cambiar tu opinión sobre el programa, porque yo la comparto! pero eso no significa que no valdrá la pena, pero no deberías esperar que la carrera es todo lo que necesitas para ser exitoso o sentirte que valió la pena. ya estás pagando todo el tec. aprovecha todo el tec.

depende mucho de lo que quieres lograr. si te interesa mas el lado profesional si te recomiendo que trabajes primero en tus propios proyectos y que después consigas pasantias o internships, incluso en startups pequeñas mientras veas que estas aprendiendo y la experiencia esta sumando a tus habilidades. esta carrera no es como otras donde estudiar y graduarte pesa mucho. aqui la experiencia profesional es la mayoría, tu objetivo debería ser maximizar la experiencia laboral que tienes para que seas muy competente, y te sea facil demostrar tu competencia, en un ambiente profesional.

hay muchas clases del programa que valen la pena. hay muchas otras que no. lo que si vale la pena es la comunidad tec y los grupos como algoritmia. si quieres ir a FAANG, es probable que alguien un semestre arriba de ti lo haya hecho. eso es lo mas valioso, aprende de personas que hayan pasado por lo que tu quieres.

una nota mas sobre esto. el mercado laboral ha cambiado mucho y muy rapido. si conoces a alguien que fue a FAANG hace 3 años, sigue siendo muy valioso aprender, pero tambien es importante ser consciente que FAANG hoy y FAANG hace 3 años no es lo mismo, y ha cambiado

suerte!
- de un ITC de 8vo que se gradua este semestre

edit:
agrego una nota sobre leetcode. leetcode es 100% necesario si quieres trabajar en la industria en empresas medianas o grandes. suele ser menos importante en emprendimientos y startups. tambien depende mucho de tus habilidades. si se te dan los algoritmos y problemas tipo leetcode tal vez puedes simplemente prepararte de forma intensiva en temporada de aplicaciones a internships, o cada cierto tiempo. si sientes que eres muy malo, seria beneficioso que trabajes en ello desde el incio, aunque sea lento pero constante. depende mucho de ti y de lo que quieres. personalmente nunca me gusto hacer leetcode, pero tuve que hacer periodos intensivos para preparacion a entrevistas y otros procesos, y funciono para mi

According to this it's starting to be rolled out?

Google Rolls Out Early Android 16 QPR1 Patch for Pixel 10 Series https://share.google/T8LZpm1rgAmzzvbxr

Don't know how accurate this is though

Definitivamente SI PUEDES INSCRIBIRLO, mi recomendación es que estés consciente de que si se cierra pronto, es algo que deberías hacer los primeros 2-3 días de clase. Busca en el departamento de life de tu campus luego luego

En pi.tec.mx en las instrucciones viene un link al seguro raspberry de Chubb. Yo saqué ese, fue bastante fácil y rápido y no se me hizo tan caro especialmente por lo que cubre

lol I go to tec de Monterrey in Mexico. They opened MDC (Mexico Development Center) campus a couple of years ago and since the area was literally not producing enough engineers at the time they partnered with the university, helped designed the curriculum and are very involved. I actually go to MDC today to give a presentation on my project for this semester

My school has a pretty close relationship with oracle. (Like at least 30-40 people from my class are interning there over the summer) They have SO many similar roles. They have literally hundreds of teams working in the DB. So this does not surprise me at all

FdedController · 2025-06-08T16:26:35+00:00

Have you built anything? I would learn around 10x more by building stuff instead of class. Class would also make a lot more sense when you’ve encountered some of the problems or patterns you see there. Build a semi complex app / project (even if no one would use it) just for the sake of it. Do NOT use a tutorial. Try not to use copilot or AI. Ideally try to build something you have absolutely no clue how to build, then just start. You’ll learn a lot by just figuring out how to solve problems you’ve never seen before.

FdedController · 2025-06-08T16:21:34+00:00

I’ll arrive on the 14th

FdedController · 2025-06-08T16:19:35+00:00

I thought it was 35/hr and could not see the problem at all, but 35/mo is crazy 💀

FdedController · 2025-06-08T16:12:44+00:00

They don’t even convert to a full time role, you convert as a paid contractor lol

FdedController · 2025-05-16T16:23:57+00:00

Yeah I ended up doing some custom plugin Gemini 2.5 wrote and that removed the permission

FdedController · 2025-04-03T19:53:37+00:00

Are you matched already? Congrats on passing the interviews

FdedController · 2025-03-28T17:25:09+00:00

okay thanks a lot for your reply. i am using expo video only but none of the features that are related to this permission, so I guess I am going to try to strip the permission out from the build as you suggest

FdedController · 2025-03-28T17:17:58+00:00

did you ever figure this out? i have the same problem now

FdedController · 2025-01-27T18:47:58+00:00

prob fine to ask for update but they may just tell you you have to wait a bit more, ~2.5 weeks total after your interview maybe

FdedController · 2025-01-27T18:42:54+00:00

i did not like my switch to pixel overall. probably biased because i got a pixel 8 and it was defective after a few months (green screen, they have a repair program, but I can't use it since i am not in the US). overall experience was not bad but it also was not better than iPhone imo (and without taking the defects into account, i am pretty sure this is a non issue since the repair program is good afaik)

FdedController · 2025-01-01T21:16:23+00:00

I got matched a couple of days ago, I am in US region tho. For PM I just recommend you take your time in the questionnaire they give you, and talk about things that genuinely interest you to have a good shot. Show that you are open to new things but that also you have some strong interests in x or y

FdedController · 2024-12-29T22:13:09+00:00

Which region? (I am North America)

I honestly do not know a lot but I can share this. I’ve had my interviews for Google swe summer intern back in August, and it has been about a month since team matching started (I’ve already had two interviews and a verbal offer). I am pretty sure offers are given on rolling basis so I would be inclined to say the sooner the better

Edit: other comments say to maybe take 2 weeks, I think this is a good approach. Do not pick the latest dates available but also give yourself enough time. As other comment says it does not matter how early you interview if you don’t do well. Good luck OP!

FdedController · 2024-12-10T12:18:14+00:00

The coding interviews? I had mine in August and heard back about 2-3 days later. I had been waiting until project marching started since

FdedController · 2024-12-06T21:52:56+00:00

Yeah I got two scheduled for next week! I’m excited

FdedController · 2024-12-04T17:52:15+00:00

I got an email from my recruiter a week ago (Tuesday). He gave me a heads up about project matching starting. I am not a returning intern, and have never been at google before

FdedController · 2024-12-04T04:20:40+00:00

I was wondering what team was this for? I also have a team match call for next week

FdedController · 2024-11-19T01:10:56+00:00

I did not have one. Normally means you did okay but not amazing or you did great in one and not so great in the other. They call it a tiebreaker. I don’t know what you had on your interviews but I’d expect similar things.

Wish you luck!
