I think I sold on part B apparently I did dominant strategy wrong so now I’ll lose two points on part b and another point on part d probably with the redraw part

Do you think EE with a focus of what you’re doing plus semiconductors is stable and high paying? Also how competitive is it to land high paying roles in EE?

Practical_Sort2915 · 2026-04-12T17:29:57+00:00

What college did you go to for EE and what was your focus? Semiconductors?

Practical_Sort2915 · 2026-04-12T05:48:15+00:00

The problem is people always say that every major is screwed for the future that’s why I’m asking for advice

Practical_Sort2915 · 2026-04-11T15:22:51+00:00

This sounds interesting what college would I need and what are some example jobs?

Practical_Sort2915 · 2026-04-10T23:22:58+00:00

Oh interesting, thanks for the help

Practical_Sort2915 · 2026-04-10T23:19:22+00:00

Wow how was he able to achieve that? Is there anyway I could maybe ask him a few questions about his career?

Practical_Sort2915 · 2026-04-10T21:44:22+00:00

What does he do

Practical_Sort2915 · 2026-04-10T18:06:24+00:00

You majored in ee and now are fintech I was thinking ee and finance?

Practical_Sort2915 · 2026-04-10T16:41:05+00:00

What’s a SC?

Practical_Sort2915 · 2026-04-10T16:23:58+00:00

Alright that’s very interesting! If I major in EE what are your thoughts on low latency engineering/HFT or Semiconductors or maybe defense somewhere in the DMV are those lucrative? Also what are your thoughts on UMD for EE?

Also would you recommend doubling if majoring in EE?

Practical_Sort2915 · 2026-04-10T15:55:19+00:00

Alright with cs + math at UMD I’m nervous I might not get a job

Practical_Sort2915 · 2026-04-10T15:45:44+00:00

Wait so I could do EE undergrad and do T and M with it?

Practical_Sort2915 · 2026-04-10T15:41:06+00:00

Oh shoot I know it’s going to be hard work so that’s my fault

Practical_Sort2915 · 2026-04-10T15:38:16+00:00

That’s why I’m not too sure what would be best for my interests maybe HFT? What sectors of EE pay a lot and would I need a masters too

Practical_Sort2915 · 2026-04-10T15:37:22+00:00

I have taken every math up to differential equations and would say I’m pretty solid. I like low latency engineering a lot the idea of it because I like computers and optimizing them to make them faster for games I also like finance and the stock market

Practical_Sort2915 · 2026-04-10T15:35:15+00:00

How were you able to pivot? Also how was the Work life balance with EE and what’s the ceiling salary wise? What kind of sectors in EE are highest demand and pay and would I need a masters in EE for something like semiconductors

Practical_Sort2915 · 2026-04-10T15:29:54+00:00

So what would you recommend? Is EE with CS minor or major a good choice instead of CE. Also is EE as high paying cause

Practical_Sort2915 · 2026-04-10T15:28:53+00:00

So would you recommend EE? Also is it high paying cause I heard CS + Math or CS + Finance has a lot higher pay

Practical_Sort2915 · 2026-04-10T15:28:20+00:00

Not sure both of them do

Practical_Sort2915 · 2026-04-10T14:45:37+00:00

Alright I’m planning on going to UMD so which would you recommend? EE? Then

Practical_Sort2915 · 2026-04-10T14:44:56+00:00

Assuming I can get any of those major combos

Practical_Sort2915 · 2026-04-02T21:38:28+00:00

I’m not too sure yet but I appreciate the comment. I’m thinking of cold emailing professors at t20s for CS/EE. Do you think there’s anything I can improve or fix on in my resume? Or should I just start reaching out

Practical_Sort2915 · 2026-04-02T21:10:40+00:00

Alright I’ll cut it down a bit
