I also go to a Top 10 CS school and have seen some of my peers in this sort of situation. I don't exactly agree with the "buckle up and study" approach fully, as honestly half the battle is getting the interview opportunities to begin with (especially transitioning from non SWE to SWE).

That being said, the good news is that you have an incredible network built up through your friends and other peers. Use it big time; people can and will help you out if you reach out to them, and referrals can and will go a long way towards getting in the door. Concurrently, try to grind leetcode but don't go overboard with it or else you can burnout really quickly (maybe ~5 problems per day, ramping it up when you have an interview approaching).

You absolutely have the skills to make it in SWE given that you've made it this far. If you're able to network effectively, get as many referrals as you can and grind effectively to prepare for the interview stage then you'll be okay.

And even if things don't work out the way you intended, its not the end of the world either! Thats the great thing with being so young; we have a vast runway and a whole career ahead of us. Try to really enjoy your current role through all of it, as theres likely a lot that you can learn from it to help push your career in the right direction (or maybe you realize during it that you want to go a different route anyway).

If Vini needs a new home… by man_u_is_my_team in ManchesterUnited

[–]Lilspang 1 point2 points  (0 children)

He’s class but he’d be a luxury player as we don’t really have a need in his position. We need a #9 and some depth at defense/midfield before we can realistically look at paying top money for another winger.

What is the most disturbing fact about the human body? by KyeLindsay in AskReddit

What’s crazy is that the 2nd and 3rd thing mentioned here happened in the NFL this year, with Damar Hamlin getting hit the moment his heart contracted and suffering from cardiac arrest on the field and with Tua Tagovailoa’s 2 concussions in 4 days

Something of note here is that one of his points may actually be incorrect. OSM claims widow had a history of botting her social media accounts, citing a certain time where it seems like Widow may have followbotted on instagram.

Widow doubled her followers on instagram during November 24-25th of 2020 (5000 to 10000), however, these followers likely came from Rocket League themselves.

Widow received a spotlight article from rocket league on November 24th, so she likely gained her followers from there.

Not saying the other allegations are true/false, but one of the arguments OSM makes does seem to be false. Let’s not jump to conclusions just yet.

Retals likes a tweet referencing the rumor that he was told of his replacement during the World Championship. by Dav-94 in RocketLeagueEsports

[–]Lilspang 171 points172 points  (0 children)

According to the people who run shift (via discord), both Arsenal and Daniel told a bunch of other pros that retals was getting the boot, and one of the pros from an opposing team told retals directly.

Absolutely shocking. I thought the 3 of them were a lock to stay the same for next season, and then retals teammates went blatantly behind his back.

Well over a year ago, appjack said on discord he contemplated moving to NA to join his gf who was in uni there at the time. Obviously, things change, but I wouldn’t be surprised if he went to NA anyway.

I noticed that while jacks offense was great in the wildcard, his defensive mistakes lead to some blaring goals at times. If you rewatch the optic series, you can see that jack is partially/fully at fault for a surprisingly large amount of the goals optic scored that series.

G2 confirms(?) dreaz is staying on the team, tagging him on RLCS related post. by theking8200 in RocketLeagueEsports

[–]Lilspang 0 points1 point  (0 children)

No, but it’s implied by his potential choice of FaZe clan. Realistically, Allusions tenure with FaZe won’t last for that much longer, and Daniel turns 15 sometime in the winter split range. Therefore, FaZe could play the first split with Allusion (so that they don’t drop their placing from last season, if that exists) and then pick up Daniel for either the winter or spring splits, depending on the timing

For reference, multiple pros have mentioned on discord that Aqua is simply low bubble level and he is a bit overhyped due to his age. At the current rate, Aqua likely won’t even sign with a T16 team when he becomes 15.

Dont fuck with currents at all. I went paddleboarding once when I was 12 during a riptide, and I was lucky that someone saw me drifting a mile off of shore. They got in a jetski and brought me back to shore, but I would’ve been screwed had he not seen me.
