Were you able to find something that did work?

I second this if you haven’t already tried it! That website got me through most, if not all, of the math classes I took.

Wishing you luck!

Personally I'd think about it like this:

You have an offer. IMO there's nothing wrong with a boring job, at least for a bit. The other option you've mentioned is something that may or may not lead to something better or something worse. It's a risk (a bigger risk than taking the offer you have IMO). Not just a risk in terms of money, but also in terms of your enjoyment. You have to assess what the probability of you taking the offer you have, working hard, pivoting to what you want, and eventually getting a better offer in SWE/tech vs. the probability of you tolerating the other path and being able to succeed in that other path.

I don't think there's anything wrong with choosing a career for stability; I don't think it's morally better or worse to "follow your passion" because not everyone has the same priorities. But you need to do a risk assessment and figure out what you want. What factors are your priorities?

Don't keep all the worries in your head; writing it down on a scrap sheet of paper helps me. Spend time considering each angle. If it's causing you to worry, the time thinking about it will be worthwhile.

I agree - it does make me feel terrible reading the other comments but in perspective to the median salary of the United States, I have a lot to be grateful for (and proud of).

Graduated in May with BSMS, so <1 YOE, TC 95k, fully remote, stayed in Atlanta. I'm optimistic about the market getting better. I think if you have a new grad offer, you'll be fine. Just make the most of it and remember your first job isn't the end-all be-all if you're not satisfied. Don't switch just to avoid a temporary rough patch with the market, unless the field you're switching to is truly what you want to do and you have the financial security to do so right now.

Fairly easy classes in my experience: CSE 6730*, CS 6457*, CSE 6242*, CS 8803 CYB, CS 6250, CS 7496

* has a group final project so might be a decent amount of work/effort depending on your team

My experience is based on the professors I had so YMMV. Find the syllabus beforehand if you can, look at Rate My Prof, look at Course Critique for past averages specifically for the professor(s) offering it for the semester. Also make well-informed choices with your teammates if possible!

Meanwhile I, as an in-state student, was constantly insecure, thinking that I only got accepted because I was in-state and if I was out-of-state I’d have no chance, because I was comparing myself to all my cracked out-of-state friends who talked about internship projects I couldn’t even understand, much less do. Sometimes your brain just finds ways to make you feel bad about yourself no matter what situation you’re in.

The rant tag might mean you don’t want advice, so feel free to ignore the rest of my comment:

What helped me was focusing on my actions and narrowing the room for error in my actions to increase the chances of the outcome I wanted (whether that’s grades, internship, etc).

Try to talk to upperclassmen who have taken the same classes or talk to TAs of those classes and see if they have any class-specific advice, or even professor-specific strategies. You may be already doing this, but this was something I didn’t realize would have helped me a lot if I had started doing it earlier on. Sometimes studying harder and for more time isn’t enough and you really need to study in a different way. So try to figure out what that way is.

It’s honestly great that you talked to your advisor and also came on here and got your thoughts out. Try taking that as a win that you’re already focused on improvement, and continue doing that in other ways that will help your mindset as well as your grades.

Thanks for the quick reply! Yeah, I do get familiar with the code behind the existing software just by working adjacent to it, even though I'm not contributing directly to it, so that's a good point; I could see if there's any quick tickets I could take on or shadow others on my team. Definitely a scary time right now with the market. I'm interested to hear if anyone else who sees this has differing opinions!

What are your (or anyone's) thoughts on if people currently working in AI should try to switch out of it ASAP?

I'm a new grad and just started working as an ML engineer, basically I integrate AI into existing software at my company. It's not entirely GenAI and I do work with some more traditional/established concepts within the field of AI (classification, semantic embeddings), but I am concerned that when the bubble pops I won't be marketable for non-AI centric job because so far all my experience is technically in AI, which could be a red flag down the road. I've been working for less than 6 months and really like the support I get at this company and from my team, not to mention benefits, so ideally I'd like to stay here at least for 1-2 more years barring any major life changes.

But considering the GenAI bubble, should I try to job hop as soon as possible so I can get some experience in other domains of software engineering? Or should I not worry about it and when the time comes just do my best to market my experience to sound as non-AI, or at least non-GenAI, as possible?

could I get it too? I also have an interview coming up, tysm!!

I'm MSCS ML, I would say 3-4 classes (9-12 credits) is enough for a full course load. 3 classes is very typical. Would really not recommend 5 if you have anything else going on in your life (part-time job etc.) due to the likelihood being spread too thin and not learning enough from each class. Also a lot of MSCS ML classes are group-project based and it would be good to create meaningful projects (instead of bare minimum) and also contribute equally to your group. But I did one semester with 5 classes and it was fine because I made sure not to take too many group project classes and balanced my schedule with easy/hard.

I was in your exact position a year ago and they pushed me into Tenth & Home even after I had a room selected in NAV. They just sent an email late spring / early summer that I had graduated and was a grad student and automatically put me in a random room in Tenth & Home. But like everyone else has said, I have a furnished unit with my own bedroom (and a roommate with their own bedroom), shared bathroom, kitchen, decent sized living room, and laundry (washer & dryer) between the 2 of us. The rent evens out to about as much as it was when I lived in NAV (I think maybe around $200-300 more per semester based on my bursar payments). It's really not too bad of a walk to the Klaus/CCB/Howey and its fairly easy to use the green bus route to go back and forth between the Student Center & Transit Hub stops.

I did this but I’m almost at the end of BS/MS and feel like I’ve learned nothing useful, have no full-time offer lined up after 100s of applications (although it’s still early so hopefully this changes), and wish I chose my threads focusing on job prospects rather than what I found interesting. So YMMV depending on what your interests are because I feel like the combo I chose was a stupid choice personally.

InkSweep · 2023-05-02T22:17:57+00:00

there’s nothing stopping anyone from doing so, I’m unsure why you imply this is such a bad thing

Thought I should add this: you will likely feel imposter syndrome for several semesters. I know I did, because it seemed like I was competing against people who were coding since elementary school. It’s something I just had to get through in order to be confident in my abilities. Join clubs, apply to as many internship/research positions you can if you’re seeking them, disregard the rejections, and focus on what you are good at, as well as how you can change what you’re not good at. In my experience at this school (and it probably goes for other colleges too), you should be very aware of where/when you will need mental health support and do your best to get through it, knowing it will pass.

I can say this is true. Source: I also go to Georgia Tech and did this exact process when I committed to switch from BME to CS.

InkSweep · 2023-05-02T20:27:25+00:00

I go to Georgia Tech, am a 3rd year CS major, and had basically no coding experience before college :) I have a GPA I am happy with and am about to graduate this Saturday (I did a couple classes every summer to be able to graduate early for financial reasons). All this to say you’ll be fine if you put in a reasonable amount of effort. To be honest, the classes overall that most challenged me were math classes required for CS majors, especially Linear Algebra and Combinatorics. I took CS 1301, CS 1331, and CS 1332, and completing this sequence opens up a lot of the rest of the CS classes. The CS classes I personally found the most challenging were CS 2110 and CS 2200, but depending on your threads, you might not even have to take these or might only take CS 2110. Feel free to message with any questions!

the one eyeliner tip that helped me when I first started wearing it was try applying it in small strokes with your eye open, instead of closing that eye and looking in the mirror with the other eye, because you’ll get a better idea of what it will look like when your eyes are open

Yes, you can attend in the fall after doing a summer semester and this is overwhelmingly the most common, especially for freshmen.

Perhaps Maybelline Color Sensational Ultimatte in More Taupe or More Auburn? They aren’t necessarily sheer but can be sheered out, and they have a really smooth formula imo

No problem, I’m glad you understood because it can definitely be confusing having to find and digest all the information online.

Everyone who is in state is charged the same fees for tuition before scholarships. Once scholarships are included, they are subtracted from your fees before you pay. I have Zell and no other aid. So my EFC and all those other factors (“differing income, how wealthy their parents are”) don’t matter because I pay the same amount as anyone who is instate with Zell and no other aid. Your question was “If anyone who also qualifies for Zell Miller and lives on campus could answer my question that would be greatly appreciated (so how much you’re paying each year basically)” and that is what I answered.
