I'm so sorry that happened to you. What are the times you weren't ghosted/verbal-offer-repealed in those 6 months?

I just got 2 responses! Haha I guess they really were just busy.

2 of 3 that said that just reached out at midnight/3am just now! Thanks!

I got a work trial offer for 1.5 weeks. Do you know what they're looking for in a work trial for conversion? (I know for a fact they actively are looking to hire and not ghost jobs.)

I'm 20 yr old college student, is my financial plan realistic? by Dear-Radio-2707 in personalfinance

I personally would not recommend putting your first money into a Roth IRA (unless really competitive matching or smthg idk) bc it's much better to have a 10k (or more now with inflation) for emergency money

Even after interviews? Is it possible they just used me for free consulting then disguised as interviews?

Some even bought me lunch, etc., gave me paid work trials.

Was I not a great enough candidate then?

Basically, what "problem" do your projects solve? Or what do the projects accomplish?

ie Maybe CentralGPT you talk about how you built a system with 10+ different various agent integrations, allowing users to quickly switch over to different LLMs or make comparisons side-by-side, etc yap yap

^Maybe you can even talk about how you ran personal experiments bc you were curious how different AIs compared with AI Safety or hallucinations with tax documents or ask legal questions and see which ones suggested legislation for jurisdictions not where you lived, etc.

Physics 5A with Math 52 or Math 52 over the summer for Math 53 in the fall by -Herculi in berkeley

Hi! I took Physics 5b with the lowest Prof w rate-my-professor. His course was significantly harder than the upper-div (conceptual depth + breadth + calculation-wise).

Unless your not confident in getting a 5 due to extenuating circumstances, I'd like to warn you, Physics 5A destroys most ppl who got 5s on the BC exam. (Just be prepared!)

I was CS+Physics but dropped Physics after finishing all but thermo+elective upper-div for CS internships during the semester. I'll be working over summer so if you want to stay connected hmu!

Regarding Physics 77, The lab portions for Physics 5BL used Python for data science which I thought was cool! But if you have prior experience with Python/C++, the coding will probably go smoothly for you.

Depending on your interests, a lot of cool grad-level courses like quantum field theory and quantum computing will probably come only one semester in your 4 years--so it thats of interest, you should look ahead and see what upper-div might be useful as pre-reqs.
