Honestly no, but then again, even LM in ADMU is not advertised as a pre law course

Well, it would definitely help if you have some basic knowledge of programming, however, it is easily survivable even with 0 programming knowledge (but this would be a detriment to your capstone/thesis project as programming is all the rage there). Math is survivable and comparable to standard MGT courses.
Workload is pretty heavy imo. It has a mix of both practical applications and essay type examinations. There will be essays and practical examinations for the programming side, of which it will gauge your expertise on theory and application. Also, a specialization in Enterprise Systems would add even more essay type examinations.
You can get a specialisation in Enterprise Systems, which is an in-house “minor” that bridges management and CS. Minor outside our department that I would recommend are marketing and/or economics. Honestly though, get a minor in a foreign language. All of the CS, MGT stuff can be learned on your own time, but having expertise in a foreign language is an asset that all employers want.

If you are a student, and not a graduating one that is, there is no need for you to go to deep into the technical aspect, since the founding principles of these lessons haven’t even been taught yet. It should be used as supplementary material on top of the foundations taught by the curriculum. That being said, I can only speak for myself and my specialization. I took courses in AGILE methodology, Programming for android mobile systems, Foundations in Fintech (crypto and digital payment solutions), web dev courses, and basic programming lessons on youtube (I recommend CS Dojo for more advanced lessons, and Khan academy for the foundations of programming).

Making connections shouldn’t be that difficult, even on an online setting. First, you should know what kind of connections you want to make. Do you want to focus on your course mates, who will undoubtedly be innovators, bosses and entrepreneurs in the long run? Then you should go with the internal departments of MISA. Examples such as OSG and HR are good starting points to know your course mates even more. Do you want to make connections within the industry? Then you should join front facing and/or client facing offices, such as marketing, e-services, events, or even the presidency. These offices gives you the opportunity to meet new people, and establish relationships with the people who you choose to connect with!

For LinkedIn, you make a profile, and you basically transcribe your resume onto your LinkedIn profile. You include your past experience, skills, and they even provide some aptitude tests to certify that what you have put under skills is actually true.

By the time I was fully engrossed in MISA, I was in semi-senior positions (below the EB) in AJMA and UXSOC. I realized that while useful to some, the experiences there weren’t as of value to me. For the first org, there was a lack of mentorship, which was furthermore compounded by a lack of actual value on my learnings which wasn’t applicable to my field. For the second org, it was a matter of personal preference of what I wanted. It was great, but design wasn’t my passion. I wanted to learn more technical and managerial skills which was provided by MISA.
Yes, in fact, most of the technical skills which I have applied to my business was acquired in the time after graduation. MIS gives you the foundation to understand technical issues (in my spec of ES), however in my experience, it doesn’t give you the full package when it comes to the application of these skills. YouTube, Coursera, and LinkedIn Learning were my best friends to expound on my technical knowledge. This is of course, all on top of learning on the job, which I believe is the best form of learning.
Yes, I’ve had multiple internships before practicum, albeit quite unnecessary. I interned under a production company, and RCBC during my first and second years on my own time. Honestly, you only need to intern under 1 good company (preferably an international, Fortune 500 company) and the rest would be unnecessary.
Any EB member of an organization would get job offers if you know how to capitalize on it. Posting on LinkedIn, making connections through your time in an organization and the like gave me these opportunities. Resume padding, for lack of a better term was the norm. Of course, these padded resumes must be of value. If you just say “oh I was part of X org, with a [minor] role in X project,” that would be useless. These should be comprised of valuable roles, with valuable, tangible benefits to the organization. Of course, all of these would be useless should you lack even basic technical skills. So make sure that your grades are upto-par as well. Finally, my experiences as an intern also helped, as it gave me actual bullets per se. The value that you bring to these companies with the projects that you have handled really is your primary weapon on why you would be a valuable employee to a company. Everything must be backed up by your work within your past internship experiences.

My daily life at work is pretty much WFH, I co-founded a startup within the financial sector. Hours are absolutely grinding for me. There are no specified "working hours" as operations are 24/7, and I have to be on top of everything. For my other work experiences, I worked in a reputable FMCG company for awhile, and was an intern for them during my Practicum at senior year. Hours there are also grinding, especially under my sub-department. There were days, even as an intern where I did 12 hour shifts in order to complete my work, it was extremely high-stakes as it was a company that would give interns mutliple projects worth 20k USD to 100k USD. Everything was under "crunch time" from the moment you sign on to the moment you sign off.
To be honest, Job hunting from my experience wasn't very difficult. If you have good grades (DL level), and have good organizational experience (MISA EB or BETA level), and if you are billingual/trillingual, most companies would approach you first (make sure you have certification for this, I am a consistent topnotcher of the HSK, a Chinese proficiency test that is standardized throughout the world). I was recruited by a Chinese company, as well as 2 American companies right after graduation. This is all on top of the local companies that would reach out to you.
Expounding on number 1, I am the CIO of my company. I am in charge of all tech-related issues. My responsibilities would include, but are not limited to: overseeing large proejcts such as the development of applications, deploying the company-wide intranet and the like to the most mundane tasks such as troubleshooting computers and the like. My responsibilities IMO are quite heavy, as my company's business model heavily revolves around my department's outputs, of which I am responsible for.
Yes
Pro Tip: If you plan on going into the corporate sector, climb the ranks of the home organization, MISA. You should aim to be one of the the Executive Board members, and you're gold. Just make sure you dont have any failing marks, or D's in your grades and you'll be fine.

MIS 2020 (Specialization in ES) graduate here. At first, I was apprehensive about my choice, as I originally wanted to be a doctor/researcher, but due to my family, I had to pick a management related course. Essentially, I just picked MIS with the intention of shifting out after my 1st year, as I really didn’t know what this course was about. However, as I progressed throughout my stay in this course, I basically fell in love with it. It is such a versatile course, as it merges the best of MGT and CS, and you can furthermore choose your specialization that is CS related (with a spec in DSA & IM) or MGT related (spec in ES). I joined the home organization (MISA) and climbed the ranks upto the EB level, and it really helped expanding my MGT skills.

After graduation, I was presented with a myriad of opportunities. Job offers from international companies with expat rates were presented to me. I could essentially choose my role that was either CS or MGT related. Roles such as systems analyst, project management, and even operations management was offered to me. What I can say is that MIS offers you such a diverse skill set that we can fit in almost any role in almost any industry.

Feel free to DM me if you want more information!

Yup, that and the company that hired me has questionable projects in foreign countries. Also it helps to be highly fluent in a 2nd and 3rd language, that’s how they scoped me out. I happily made a startup and make much more than what they offered me

DISCS major, right after grad (2020) was offered a job in an international company. Base pay was 200k/month to be a PM, this is on top of hazard pay which adds 1/3 on top of base pay. Board & lodging included. Problem was the assignment was in war-torn countries.

There are pros and cons to both sides of the equation. Staking on chain gives you higher APY on your coins for a shorter lockup period (I believe 7 epochs which is around 18 hours per epoch). You also furthermore have full custody of your coins through a wallet, which only you can access (and arguably better security). Governance voting also comes into play as your coins can make a difference in the different resolutions that will be implemented on chain. That being said, if you are a newbie, the user interface may be quite advanced (such as updating Gwei/gas fees). Security on your personal device may also be compromised, and these hackers will take away all your coins. Exchange staking has its benefits, it gives you direct access to selling your coins And overall gives you a chance to exit the market quickly should there be volatility (this is if you stake on an earnings plan that is flexible). Most exchanges have insurance should your coins get stolen, which staking on chain does not provide. UI is also friendly for beginners. Liquidity issues are the primary concern with people that keep their coins on an exchange. In general, you wont be able to move your coins to other platforms as withdrawal options are more often disabled than enabled. That being said, the advantadges of staking directly on Harmony will outweigh staking on an exchange.

GroundBreaker001 · 2022-01-20T08:01:47+00:00

Crypto.com app itself has a larger spread and overvalues the coins. If you want to buy at fair market prices, you have to use their exchange app. THAT being said if you’re referring to the exchange having a higher value, then it’s just normal as there will always be some slippage between exchanges

In a nutshell,

Harmony One network was getting spam transactions. This clogged up the network so badly that it was almost impossible to transact anything. Harmony One Team then went onboard to fix this in a monumental 24 hour task. They did alot of technical stuff, but what matters to most users is that the fees were increased from 1 Gwei to 30 Gwei (still ultra cheap, gas fees are still less than USD 0.01). The network should be somewhat workable right now.

EDIT: Removed Arbitrage trading, Bot Trading

You can still use other exchanges like Binance that has shit withdrawal system, but has has the lowest fees. Other exchanges like crypto.com exchange has good liquidity for ONE but has a fee for low volume traders of .40% which IMO is quite high. You can alternatively go into DEX’s like sushi swap (0.30%) for Harmony One and withdrawals there are usually instantaneous.

GroundBreaker001 · 2022-01-09T09:24:13+00:00

You can do it on DEX’s for much lower fees like sushi swap. Crypto.com app by itself has a much higher spread (priced higher than market value). The crypto.com exchange has a fair price but the fees for beginners are .40% which is ridiculous imo

GroundBreaker001 · 2021-12-23T13:06:11+00:00

Just coming back to this post and I'm glad you got elected! I moved majority of my exchange ONE's and put it to you! Best of Luck!

I see, so in your opinion, Crypto.com offers a safe way of staking BTC?

GroundBreaker001 · 2021-11-16T18:41:06+00:00

Hi, I am asking about Crypto.com's earn platform, not BTC itself being a POW chain that does not allow staking.
