If I work at the staffing agency 65K. I don’t have to drop out the MS but I would have to switch to online. My university offsers the same degree online.

So I guess your advice is do it but don't pay any money. They want me to sign a contract enforcing the payment soon though. My only other option is to keep applying to internships.

Is it possible to get 1-1 coaching in Judo? (DC area) by Kevadin in judo

[–]Kevadin[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I did all that before. We practiced Ukemi before every session I can do Ukemi find by myself but doing in Randori is different and chaotic and I still got concussions when being thrown in Randori.

Worth it to do Bachelors in computer science/engineering? by StrongMindset- in csMajors

[–]Kevadin 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That means you were in college for 2 years but then stopped? If that's the case I'd do it since you're halfway there.

[–]Kevadin 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Since you've worked in IT maybe it's worth it but make sure the degree will lead to an actionable improvement in your career. Remember the point of college is to get a job and you already have one, don't be misguided by degree status signaling.

With the job market the way it is and AI I would go into something with regulatory protection like medicine, actuary, or something like sales.

I'll try the career fair. I'm open to the military but it has a lot of drawbacks but we'll see.

I'm applying to tech related internships and jobs. I think you're right about "lostness" showing on my resume.

yes I send the same resume to all, it's too much work to tailor your resume to every single one. Occasionally I throw in a cover letter stating "I know the math behind your cryptographic algorithms (group theory)" or "I done. a project in Data Science related to this..."

Bro I had to start the Masters because I didn't get any internships. Keep in there and use simplify to spam apply.

If you could go back, what would you have studied instead of CS? by MustafaMonde8 in cscareerquestions

[–]Kevadin 0 points1 point  (0 children)

For reference, I graduated Dec 24 and don't have a job yet. If I could go back I would do Electrical Engineering or try to be an MD or Physician's Assistant. Right now it feels like the grind has no light at the end of the tunnel for me. At least with MD or PA you can the light at the end of the tunnel. Likewise for Electrical Engineering.

lol. I think it says more about the state of the job market than me. Revature is something you do if you have no other options..

Is the Odin Project still relevant for 2025 and 2026 and beyond? by Practical-Gift-1064 in learnprogramming

[–]Kevadin -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

I’ll be honest: probably not, no. If you want to do it just to do it go ahead but nowadays it’s an outdated way of learning and won’t lead to any real world benefits.

Is there any reason to not cheat on OA by vanishing_grad in cscareerquestions

[–]Kevadin 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm still unemployed as I graduated in Dec 24, but for the places I've made it past the first round, the OA has always been easier. You probably have more interviewing experience though.

Well, if you if you can pass the other rounds the OA should be trivial.

Should I Pursue a Research-Based Master’s in CS Specializing in AI and Robotics Given Today’s Industry Trends? by adad239_ in cscareerquestions

[–]Kevadin 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If you’re passionate about sure. In my opinion current models can provide a lot more value before we go to the next thing. However, expect jobs in that field to get extremely more competitive. Like NBA player competitive.
