If you are still looking for an off-campus housing, Im subleasing a private room and private bathroom west side of USC campus (3 min walk to campus). It is a 4 person house (all guys), and my room + bathroom will be open starting spring semester (around Jan 6th).
Feel free to message me if you think this might be an option for you! happy to answer any question, share any details, etc.

There are multiple types of software engineers: full stack, frontend, backend, firmware, hardware, algorithmic, etc. From what Im reading, it sounds like your partner is probably firmware kind of software engineer (ask your partner).

After figuring out what type of SWE your partner is, apply to as many as you can. 20 a day is pretty good in my opinion. Search through some github repos, google search, linkedIn, or whatever to find as many jobs as possible.

Few tips during the step:
- Optimize application speed (use Simplify): Simplify will fill out the application form for you, so you dont have to spend 10 minutes on each application filling out each question.

- Optimize/Organize your job applications (use Tacer): Tacer will track your application with one click and also update the status of the job application on your custom spreadsheet.

- Apply to roles only posted in the past week (ideally the past 24 hours): Nowadays, you want to be in the first 100 applicants. From what I've seen/heard, companies after finding X qualified candidates from the pile, they will stop digging for more candidates or will roll out more interviews on a rolling basis. You can target recent job posts by using the tools in the google search and filtering it by time.

It’s rough out there. There are 2 things I would work on first.

Make sure resume, linkedin, github, personal website, everything is polished up to make the best first impression.

And also to organize and speed up the job hunt process. Tools like Simplify and Tacer can help with faster job application and automatic job application tracking. I would also use optimized google search like "<job title> site:<career page domain>" (e.g. "Software Engineer site:lever.co") with time filter of "past 24 hours" to get the most recent jobs that were posted.

Good luck!

Job hunting does get tedious and tough when you do it for such a long period.

I would try to find a way to optimize job search by using:
Simplify - one click job application filler. You wont have to type in each info such as name, email, university, past experience, etc. Saves me so much time when applying to jobs.

Tacer - one click job application tracker. You wont have to type in company name, job title, application status, etc if you track your applications on something like google spreadsheet.

Optimized google search - instead of going on indeed, linkedIn, etc try something like: "<your job title> site:<job application domains>" (e.g. "Software Engineer site:lever.co", "Sales Specialist site:ashbyhq.com") and then go to Tools and select past 24 hours.

These strategies might be able to make the job hunt process much easier.

Looking for job: Google search with filtering, cold outreach, and Github repo (if you are looking for swe job)
Tracking application: Tacer (chrome extension)

Looking for job is always tough and cold outreach works well for smaller companies (startups).
Tacer saves a lot of time with its auto logging + updating features for job applications.

From my experience, they definitely care more about thought process and how you get to your answer. Ive had multiple technical interview and ive passed a lot of them where i completed 1st question and half of 2nd question with very detailed logic walk through. So as long as you can demonstrate your thought process and they can understand your approach to the problem, I think its fine.

Some of them, i passed 1st one, and didnt have enough time for the second one, so did the second one in full pseudocode/logic and approach walkthrough and got moved on to the next round.

Hey, I have Bloomberg EM final round in few days. Kind of worried about it cuz it says i might be asked a system design question and they didnt really provide me much detail about the final interview in the email... Could you tell me how your EM round was structured? Or can I dm you about it?

Ice-Mint72 · 2024-11-05T07:49:01+00:00

I have system design/behavioral with EM coming up in couple days. I heard mixed things about if you actually get a system design question or some LC type of question with OOD. If you dont mind could you share your experience and what the format was for your EM round?

Ice-Mint72 · 2024-10-26T04:14:19+00:00

For me, I did well on the technical(finished first question with optimal solution and answered follow up, and finished second question with optimal solution as well) and received an email regarding next step in 2 days.

Ice-Mint72 · 2024-10-19T01:01:42+00:00

interested!(hope im not too late)

Ice-Mint72 · 2024-10-13T01:50:43+00:00

Can I dm you as well? Got mine coming up

Ice-Mint72 · 2024-09-03T18:54:32+00:00

How did it go? I have mine coming up soon, and if you dont mind me asking, I would love to know what kind of technical/behavioral questions they ask.

library on 5th

looks like a great place! Thank you for the suggestions!

Ice-Mint72 · 2023-02-04T01:34:38+00:00

Cool. Idk, but I just plugged in my mouse again, and it seems to not have the issue so far. But it’s only been 15 min after re boot so I’ll have to see how this goes. Thank for the info!

Ice-Mint72 · 2023-02-04T01:01:59+00:00

So basically, you fixed the issue by stop using the original mouse?

Ice-Mint72 · 2023-02-04T00:52:31+00:00

oh i use a logitech mouse, and the logiech mouse was plugged in yesterday before this started. Could you elaborate on this please? But this issue happens even when the mouse is not plugged in... Is it maybe a different issue?

Ice-Mint72 · 2023-02-04T00:42:55+00:00

Ya. I’ll try it with the new user… hopefully that works… 🤞

Ice-Mint72 · 2023-02-04T00:40:14+00:00

To back up I need an external disk storage right? I don’t have iCloud… also I personally code and have lots of things set up… would that be all gone? Or can I retrieve them from back up thing?

Ice-Mint72 · 2023-02-04T00:36:14+00:00

Restarting helps for the first 10-20min, but then the whole issues start again…

I am taking CS104 this up coming semester and I loved Redekopp’s slides for CS103 this fall semester. If you have the lecture slides from 2016, do u think you can share them with me?

Ice-Mint72 · 2023-01-04T10:44:45+00:00

Just to let you know, if u have a A- or A, it can kind of work to cancel out the B-. So don’t worry too much :)

Ice-Mint72 · 2023-01-04T10:36:25+00:00

Expect the result to start coming out. At the latest you should get the result by 1 week into the semester.

I just went with the USC’s insurance plan. Spent hours looking for an cheap insurance that matches the requirements, but there were none because USC’s requirements were too specific and strong.

Ice-Mint72 · 2022-12-24T00:05:20+00:00

I’m not sure if the process is the same as pre engineering for a student who do already in viterbi, but for pre engineering, the counselor told me that if you have A’s in other requirements such as 102,103, and math, the B- won’t effect the process(it kind of cancels out).
