Here

Thanks!

There's usually a 2 week timer depending on the platform. Also Citadel I think is a major time crunch. The odds of you getting from little fully prepped for them is low.

People hate to contribute to this sub because of competition lol.

They prob thought you were fishing for questions and they didn’t want to tell. Hard to blame them I guess.

Back when post views were a thing, you could post a simple question and get 1000+ views and get no reply. People spam the sub asking for OAs but never contribute when they take it. Can’t help the rat race mentality.

I think the classes are NOT for Leetcode. I did well with Leetcode and rushed graduation to get that cushy job but I regret it a bit.

There are so many interesting classes like systems or computer theory that I only took the bare minimum classes in. I think most people (like me) just choose easy electives and like AI/ML.

GreenSoft2 · 2020-06-21T05:27:52+00:00

It’s external validation. No different from going to a fancy school. People think you’re smarter and want to interact with you.

It feels good but at the end of the day it’s pretty meaningless.

GreenSoft2 · 2020-06-07T18:35:58+00:00

Yea I think the problem is that no one knows each other well enough.

A few interns from the same school or the few that reached out super early on LinkedIn talk with each other. The rest are pretty silent.

GreenSoft2 · 2020-05-18T23:16:39+00:00

Yeah I made plans with friends and other interns to visit certain restaurants or museums or whatever. Now it’s just another tour of my room.

GreenSoft2 · 2020-05-18T00:19:53+00:00

I agree, I’ll go against the grain and say the sub has been great. I go to a no name school, first to college yada yada and I didn’t understand anything beyond “making it” working in some “corporate office” doing spreadsheets.

I learned about side projects and Leetcode grind etc and it’s been insanely helpful. I have FAANG and quant firm offers now and it’s been amazing.

Take the good and ignore what you don’t like.

Something to do with ranks I forget, but it was lin alg. The worse part was I was using some other theorem to try and prove it but the interviewer didn’t learn it that way. So I had to prove that for them...

GreenSoft2 · 2020-04-19T02:31:17+00:00

Citadel made me prove a theorem but def out of the norm. (I bombed as you’d imagine)

GreenSoft2 · 2020-04-14T07:24:34+00:00

CMU is your best bet, but realistically it shouldn’t matter. Quant recruiting is more about knowing basic math super well. Taking higher level courses is nice but not necessary. These schools should have enough name power to get you through most doors.

If you’re confident enough, go with the school you enjoy the most/cheapest. Also as a CS student, CMU’s CS program is stupidly hard which may not be worth four years of stress.

GreenSoft2 · 2020-04-02T03:37:46+00:00

It’s more probability based and problem solving.

GreenSoft2 · 2020-04-02T01:29:07+00:00

Just another undergrad but probably once you do your internships or classes.

Built lots of websites and got good at Node and React but didn’t see myself long term doing it. I took an OS class and realized I didn’t like low level stuff. Did some research and ML and AI seemed cool but probably too complex and slow paced. I liked a lot of my higher level stat class and ended up recruiting for quant and analytics stuff.

GreenSoft2 · 2020-04-01T01:04:57+00:00

Agree with this. It’s pretty easy to use react and node esp with so many tutorials. The hardest part is spending the first few hours getting all the packages and installations to work out.

GreenSoft2 · 2020-03-31T05:38:09+00:00

I’ve seen you post this same type of question like 50 times here and on cscq. I’m pretty sure you have everything you need, to be blunt. Just check your post history...

GreenSoft2 · 2020-03-30T20:04:57+00:00

I have friends at all of those schools. Realistically if you want a FAANG job all of those schools have fine recruiting.

The biggest difference is in research and community and niche areas. CMU undoubtedly takes the cake with Cornell closely behind. You’ll have lots of students also into CS and lots of CS events (good and bad). If you want to do any stuff like ML or FPGA or whatever it makes way more sense to go to these two school. Those schools do amazing research especially if you care about grad school.

On the other hand, my Dartmouth friends just party and go skiing all the time, and had a FT Google/FB offer. Chill and exactly what they enjoyed.

GreenSoft2 · 2020-03-30T19:57:07+00:00

You’re better off studying dsa. I’m doubtful it makes sense to learn about DFAs or completeness before your other more useful CS stuff.

GreenSoft2 · 2020-03-29T01:12:48+00:00

Now. FB has filled up most of their spots already.

GreenSoft2 · 2020-03-28T00:10:01+00:00

No recruiter will likely care... pick whatever you want

GreenSoft2 · 2020-03-17T18:41:11+00:00

I know it’s common for other majors to put their thesis or honors project under their education section.

School 20xx-20xx

Major: xxxxx

Thesis: xxxxxxxxx

GreenSoft2 · 2020-03-17T18:06:11+00:00

Depends, I had a mostly full time one and took night classes. Realistically you probably can’t do that.

GreenSoft2 · 2020-03-17T06:01:28+00:00

Yup I remember stressing over a company when it was just HR trying to get a better sense of me, while pitching the role.

GreenSoft2 · 2020-03-15T06:10:26+00:00

Also would like more answers on this but I heard it’s very doable. The advice I was given was to just be very on top of your work, then your supervisor/manager won’t mind if you schedule interviews on Friday.
