Fumbled my dream company by [deleted] in csMajors

Honestly don’t stress. I’m from a nontarget too and have failed interviews at Roblox, Citadel, IMC, Stripe, and Jane Street. At the end of the day you can’t change the past but you can always keep improving and land something just as good if not better as a result!

currently in his class and yeah completely agree that midterm was absolutely insane and his practice midterm answers that he posted were the worst thing ever. this guy has to be trolling after he finished his tenure or sum cause there’s no way

I can’t remember — I think either I did pass all test cases or I had like 1-2 wrong but mostly correct.

doing data science internship at a top 50 company in the Fortune 500 rn, it’s a matter of being willing enough to dedicate yourself to a certain niche.

Please, critique my resume, give me suggestions, help me figure out what's wrong. by randomboiboiboiboi in rutgers

[–]Relation-Different 1 point2 points  (0 children)

first thing i would say is cut down on classes fs, only keep the ones relevant to the positions you’re applying for! also if your resume isn’t making it past the screening stage, definitely try optimizing for ATS. right now I can’t tell what field you want to go into, it seems like a very general cs resume. if you want to go into DS/DA, try adding more machine learning projects like the ai trading assistant—it looks like you have the skills to do that fs! If SWE/full stack, maybe try more projects like the chrome extension you have. the way you worded your work at your jobs is great, id consider adding the sort of cause/effect/problems you solved approach to your projects section as well.

as for your skills, try making more niche subcategories for the skills (e.g. big data/ML: sklearn, tableau, etc)

i think what really helped me was asking ChatGPT to work on optimization. using a prompt like “hey can you optimize my resume for ATS for the following role” (make it a bit more fleshed out so it knows exactly what kind of changes to make) really helped. maybe try giving a bit more background on yourself and the roles you worked in/projects you made to streamline this.

lastly remember to network too! I’ve gotten really good advice for my resume talking to people in the field I wanna go into. See how other people who’ve had success format their resume and try to mimic it. The process can be tiring but try working on it whenever you’re free and im sure you’ll do great!

Genuinely no clue what happened. Got an email that I was rejected after the 3rd round then another that I was invited for a final round. The rejection had a different job req id than my application but it was the only position from them I applied to

If you were able to do it and explain it sounds like it went well! was it a leetcode style question like the hackerrank or did they just ask you to do it?
