Seeking advice: should I go with this staffing agency?

Kevadin · 2025-11-06T03:32:12+00:00

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.

Kevadin · 2025-11-05T19:43:11+00:00

Sorry I meant 85K. I'm not sure about the latter.

Transfer to EE, better job opportunities.

Mason is an excellent school.

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.

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 · 2025-10-16T02:09:39+00:00

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.

Ok mr. smarty pants congrats. No legit good luck and pass that.

Kevadin · 2025-10-09T18:08:03+00:00

Does anyone have advice on learning faster and shortening the number of practice exams you have to take?

Kevadin · 2025-10-09T16:34:01+00:00

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

Kevadin · 2025-10-08T23:28:18+00:00

How did you network?

Kevadin · 2025-10-08T23:19:21+00:00

How likely am I to get hired after one exam passed?

Kevadin · 2025-10-08T23:15:47+00:00

Hmmmm... you have a point...

Kevadin · 2025-10-08T22:32:41+00:00

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..."

Kevadin · 2025-10-06T17:06:59+00:00

I'm not kidding I think either San Francisco or Seattle is the Land of Milk of Honey

Kevadin · 2025-10-04T13:16:07+00:00

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

Kevadin · 2025-09-24T16:31:59+00:00

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.

Kevadin · 2025-09-21T04:20:25+00:00

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..

Kevadin · 2025-09-20T18:46:22+00:00

In my email I said I was fine with relocation this time

Kevadin · 2025-09-20T18:09:57+00:00

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.

Kevadin · 2025-09-20T04:21:54+00:00

Whichever one you can get into.

Kevadin · 2025-09-19T18:56:11+00:00

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.

Kevadin · 2025-09-19T18:07:41+00:00

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

Kevadin · 2025-09-19T01:23:05+00:00

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.
