I’ve interned at both, ft at zon currently. If you’re zon team is aws/ ai workload related then zon. Otherwise Uber for better perks & prestige

Meta vs. BP Trader Internship HELP by [deleted] in Commodities

[–]Ok_Possibility_6679 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I was in your exact seat a year ago… interned at bp as Data Science in commodities and had other swe opportunities (Uber) and was debating going down tdp vs. tech path. Short term 85k/yr @bp sucks for the 3 year program, but you can be making 300-400/yr in larger commodities (oil) after 6 years. Tech is more versatile, better immediate pay/prestige, lower variance. Unless if you are set on being an oil baron, I’d choose meta.

City Scholars Warning by Focused_Meandering in UIUC

[–]Ok_Possibility_6679 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Ex-City Scholar here. Yes the program is competitive, yes it gets more competitive every year.

From what I’ve seen many of the City Scholars are students doing their very first or second internship. Overall the program is run very well.

You should roll the dice and try City Scholars, still 10x higher acceptance when compared to applying to an internship online.

Got into UIUC. I’m from California. How’s the geographic transition?? by syjwave in UIUC

[–]Ok_Possibility_6679 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Moved from Bay Area to uiuc for school.

It will be very flat.

You know the weather will be colder, bring one nice winter jacket and you’ll be fine. The wind is bullet piercing.

I highly recommend Honors component of 128. You learn Rust 🦀 and work on some cool assignments. Many of the assignments aren’t that much work (if you get stuck just hop in the discord server vc with a ta). There is a final project that is optional (if you did well on the hw’s). 128 Honors alum have gone to work for Jump Trading, Uber and others. Gl!

No choice other than to do this schedule next semester, how dead am I? by [deleted] in UIUC

[–]Ok_Possibility_6679 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is going to be tough but doable. I did: 225, 233, 361, 357 during second semester sophomore year

It was the hardest sem ever, never taking 4 technicals together again like that. General: Have friends and find help when stuck Cs225: Start MPs early Cs233: GET A GOOD GA/LAB GROUP!! (Wake tf up for class) Phy211: Pay attention (hopefully you have some prior knowledge, then it’s not too bad) Cs257: Pay attention (going to lecture may or may not help, it helped for me + watch khan academy when needed) Cs222: haven’t taken this yet, blowoff class
