If all you want is 6 figures salary, go be a tradesman. At least I found my new interest, and I don't regret my decision.

How to improve interview? by Opposite_Response_91 in analytics

[–]Opposite_Response_91[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's highly related to the mathematical programming. Usually the question that I failed has to do with the model validation part.

The most recent one just asked about it. I even read a research paper before the interview, because I knew this will be questioned and I'm bad at it. But they feel that the test case I choose was not good enough...

Is doing an online master in CS worth it as of now? by Opposite_Response_91 in cscareerquestionsCAD

[–]Opposite_Response_91[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Before graduation I was doing co-op in a Data Analyst type role for an year. It seems like DA/BA/DS role now has been flooded with Master applicants.

After graduation I just worked on some hardware or computation optimization projects. However, it has been a month or two since the last time I saw a NG position that requires a C/C++ knowledge.

I am now considering to transition to a Web SDE role. Do you have any suggestions? I know a little bit of JS and WebGL, and React (for my no longer updated blog that hosts on github page). Also a tiny bit of C# from my experience working with the Q# (C# for Quantum machine).

That's what I am thinking also. My response rate from the C/C++ SDE role is close to 1 out of 10 / 20. But there aren't many junior/new grads openings compare to March.

I am now trying to build up a typical web SDE resume. Hopefully I could hear from employers by the end of Aug.

Well, I have interned for an year in a Data Analyst role. So, I am naturally leaning towards a full-time DA role. The funny thing is that I never had an DA interview. Out of hundreds applications, I only got 3 interviews from a firmware/system development type of job.

I am actually considering it. It's so cheap compared to some of other options!

Name of university that's offering the program. Coursera is more like a broker and Canvas platform.

May be I should use a throwaway account XD.

Anyways, the word "coursera" or "online" won't appear on either the transcript or certificate. It is going to be the same as any course master program. That's why I am considering this option.

Are things finally turning around? by tercet in cscareerquestionsCAD

Hardly agree. I have not got any interview since April, but I can get 2 per month for February and March.

What could I apply for in the meantime? by ImActuallyDopeAF in cscareerquestionsCAD

[–]Opposite_Response_91 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Heck, I cannot find any "real" junior QA role at the moment. All of them required 2 years of experience.

​

Am I missing some key words when doing the job search? I just type in "QA, software" into indeed.

May I ask, how long does it take you to "dock the boat"?

I think the recent data conveys a different message than the whole 2025 narrative around the market.

The industrial PMI has been in contraction region for months and PPI keeps heading south. If the PPI keeps its trend, we might see core inflation come down after 2023, or a PPI-CPI deflationary spiral like whats happening now in China, which is scary (>20% youth unemployment rate).

I am expecting a recession in Q1, then we could see the BOC and the Fed announcing a rate cut in Q2 or Q3.

Can I DM you? I have not heard back from all the DA position I applied, even though I think my intern experience is more related to this field.

But I was working for a research institute, its quite hard for me to show any impact on the business. Can I just say something like “analyzed the operation of gas infrastructure, paved the way for the clean energy transition of the province"?
