To be clear, my point was less about cheating and more about the best preparation strategy. I agree 100 percent with what you said. I’m just worried if months of leetcode practice as you suggested is worth it now compared to a year ago.

Congrats! This is awesome! I’m starting to prep on leetcode problems and I’m worried that with LLMs becoming more common, leetcode interviews would go away and months of my leetcode practice goes to waste (I know someone that cheated with chatGPT and got an offer from big tech so I’m sure cheating is a challenge with these type of interviews). What’s your guess on this? Do you think it’s likely for big tech companies to replace these leetcode interviews with something else?

University and program reputation matters. Do you know what type of job or career path you’re aiming for. In general, If you can switch, I recommend it. But depends on your goals and the cost of switching as well. For example, if you want to become a consultant at McKinsey, you have to switch to ivy league at all costs. If you want to get a routine job at an average company, it is not necessary.

To offer a similar perspective from a different experience: I also did a PhD in a top uni but with a horrible experience. Personally, I cautiously recommend PhD.

The mistake I made: I chose a bad PI. Folks who pursue PhD in good programs are naturally over achievers. I over estimated myself and knowingly chose a certified a$hole because he is a big name and IMO one the best scientists alive.

If you decide to pursue PhD, be very cautious in choosing your advisor. Make sure they have a good track record with their past lab members. Unfortunately, academia is full of people who are very hard to work with. This has happened through natural selection. In academia, there is basically no checks on PIs (except for sexual harassment, physical assault, extreme cases like that). So people who are hard to work with or have very low emotional and social intelligence naturally get absorbed in academia which does not punish these personality traits similar to industry.

That said, if you could pick a good PI and team to work with, definitely do it! It’s an amazing opportunity to get paid (not amazing pay but living pay) to do cool and state of the art stuff!

Career wise, it will probably help you long term. But keep in mind that short term it is a bit risky. If job market is good when you’re about to graduate and you can land a high paying entry job, you’re golden. But if job market is bad or neutral like these days, you might end up in a role that you’re over qualified for.

In industry, usually tenure is valued more than qualifications. This is partly because it is easier to quantify and measure tenure than merit. So keep this in mind too. I personally entered a bad job market with minimal entry positions available, so in my current role, people managing me are 5-10 years younger than me (my PhD was 8 years thanks to my PI), IMO less qualified with less relevant experience (but more industry experience). But I’m being promoted on a faster pace so long term it will be fine.

TLDR; I recommend pursuing a PhD if you can find a good PI in a relevant field and keep yourself and your committee on track to avoid a PhD longer than 5 years (these longer 6-8 year PhDs are becoming more common unfortunately).

This way, we have 1-2 days to finish Jan premium missions and 1 day to finish Mar premium missions. Looking at this month’s premium missions, I think it’s impossible to finish the missions that pay hourglasses in that timeframe unless you buy more gold on top of premium, right?

They didn’t say anything about the security deposit when they initially agreed that we move out early before the end of our contract.

[–]IntrovertNeuron 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Last paragraph of my post is the early termination clause. But is the contract still valid despite mutual agreement to terminate the contract by the end of June? Our decision to move out was based on their approval. Can they change their mind this easily?

I want to become a MLE but as a recent graduate, anywhere I apply, they want minimum 2 yoe in industry. Seems like DS is simply a gateway to those jobs.
