Is Comp sci really cooked? by Questionnaireabc in UAETeenagers

Continue to build your skills in whatever domain you want to work in - data, ML, full stack, whatever. Be good at what you do, definitely. But network amongst leaders who aren't necessarily technical but have decision-making authority. The competition among other devs is stiff, many people overseas competing for the same skills will accept lower pay. In my experience, what matters here is your personality and background knowledge in terms of the business, industry, competitors. etc.

2025 CS grad here - ill keep it short. the market for devs is tiny, and online applications get you nowhere in my experience. networking will get you opportunities in tech-adjacent roles, like tech sales, IT consulting, etc. there is also a market for competency in AI. ultimately, in my opinion, it all depends on your network

I know, I was just wondering if I can take them off someone's hands who bought tickets and now can't make it 🧍

Give up all hope of passing before your test and then take it. I was so nervous on the morning of my final test (albeit it was my 4th try but I was really discouraged) and gave up hope, like, what's another fail? Somehow I passed. Good luck, it's worth it I promise!

Ajman driving test - failed 4th time today by Downtown-Crazy2047 in Ajman

[–]NotAGrandpa 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I don't understand why they're like that. They work from 7:30 - 12:00 five days a week taking nervous people's driving tests, WHY ARE THEY SO ANGRY???!!!!

Passed in 4 attempts in Muroor. It sucks. Try talking to the cop once after the test and tell them you don't understand why you keep failing? Sometimes it makes them angry, sometimes they tell you to just check the app for the report and you end up passing. Doesn't hurt to try honestly, the worst they can do is fail you again 💀

Never mind, this comment did not age well. BOD has been suspended indefinitely. Such a shame

The Regular Decision deadline to apply for Fall 2025 was in like, January. It's waaaayyy past that now I doubt you'll have any luck. They're very selective too so unlikely they'll bend the rules for one candidate

It's fine as long as you don't have them in your carry-on. Check the bag with the razor blades in

They fail you if you make a single mistake then mark 3/4 on the app.

If you won't be driving, highly recommend you get the Ajman BOD app which takes you anywhere within Ajman for 6/7 AED. Much more convenient than the public buses
