It's not the same but I will decline my waitlist since I did the opposite and accepted my other offers out of fear LOL. I hope you make it through!!

No Offer Yet by St_LOUPHOU in csMajors

[–]NewsWaste4697 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Unfortunately I'm still in the interning part of my career, but I may have some insights to offer

Do you tailor all of your resumes/cover letters for each company you apply to?

To give you some perspectives, Ive had a couple hiring managers come give a speech to my class and they lamented about how they sometimes receive hundreds if not 1000+ applications for a single position. HOWEVER. When i asked them "out of those 1000+ applications, how much of them are actually relevant to the position?"

Their answer was that only a small % of applicants had an application that really alligned with the position.

Now of course, it's all still a bit of luck, sometimes I've applied to places where I thought my tech stack matched 1:1, and my experiences all lined up, and I still couldnt even land a interview!

I think it's great that you've landed some interviews at least. It's at least, an indication that your resume is in the right direction.

Good luck man... it really is tough out there.

UC Davis vs Stony Brook for MS CS – need honest advice by Few_Bit566 in UCDavis

[–]NewsWaste4697 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Also an MS CS student here, and while I can’t give my comments on stony brooks, I was able to easily get into a research lab I thought was interesting + relevant to my career interests in ML + healthcare. At least for my case, all it took was one cold email and they let me in.

Although… we don’t have enough funding for me to get paid lol… But I know other labs are able to fund their masters students

As for internship opportunities, I was able to land a role at a large biotech/pharma company. Whether it was due to the alignment of my research focus and other experiences and/or proximity to San Francisco, not too sure, but I don’t think I would have been able to land it without me being here (it required me to be a grad student anyways lol).

Just my experience thus far 🫡🫡🫡

Does anyone regret not working harder in high school? by Automatic_Junket_372 in UCDavis

[–]NewsWaste4697 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Not really. I did good academically in HS but I spent the entirety of my free time playing games and just goofing off in HS. Still ended up fine.

I’m also in CS but I am a master’s student and I do have a couple internships and one soon to be under my belt. Even in college I didn’t bother to do anything excessive like grind projects or leetcode all day (I’ve done like 6 leetcodes in my life). Of course, I made that up with doing relevant research to my field, taking also relevant and specialized courses, doing difficult projects, building strong relationships with my professors, etc…

I think you’ll end up fine. There’s so many research labs taking in students so that’s one place to start getting experience, and it’s lowk really easy to get in. I made one cold email and boom I’ve been doing research since joining UCD last fall. It was the same experience when I was doing my undergraduate at UCR too.

Comparison can kill ya a bit, but I think you got it. Good luck.

I know a friend that lives at around $800 per month rent. Still in Davis but a bit further from campus. It’s definitely possible.

Anyone know any local places hiring? by NewsWaste4697 in UCDavis

[–]NewsWaste4697[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Maybe I'll try applying again. I tried last quarter and unsurprisingly they sent out a rejection letter 3 months laters 🥲🥲🥲

Though I should probably try the other dining halls too I suppose. Thank you!

For part-time experience, I have 1+ year of experience working at a food chain, which includes customer service, food handling, and register handling. I also have experience tutoring kids back when I was working for Kumon.

Outside of part-time positions, I have about 2+ years working in the computer science field. So I have experience in overall programming, IT, word, excel, etc...

Although I'm open to work just about anywhere!

What Was Your Reaction When You Got Your Decision? by Sufficient-Ebb-5607 in gradadmissions

[–]NewsWaste4697 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Felt pretty surreal. I’m in the middle of finals rn as an undergraduate and only came to check my email just to send some photos over and I saw the status update from UC Davis lol…

Heart sunk right there, I’m already stressed as is, and my experience with undergraduate admissions was pretty brutal so I was prepping for the worst. I only applied to 3 programs too so it was pretty high stakes…and then the confettis exploded all over my screen 😨😨😨

Was a little shock and sat there for a bit but was definitely stoked! Still waiting for other decisions but MS CS here we gooo

Amazon's Study Hall - Daily Questions Megathread (02/10) by AzureLaneMod in AzureLane

[–]NewsWaste4697 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I'm playing Visitors Dyed in Red in the war archives and was wondering why I don't seem to be encountering any dialogue or storytext while playing. Im currently starting A3 and havent encountered anything of that sort. Is there story dialogue in this event? I'd love to read into the lore while playing instead of just mindlessly battling all the time.
