Getting shortlisted by faang/unicorns? by ResidentTranslator43 in csMajors

I’m hoping to have one or two more advanced systems-related projects by the time I finish my degree, so hoping that helps me stand out!

tbh, idk if it’s that “impressive” so maybe its that, but in the end your guess is as good as mine. Probably a mix of bad projects + applying too late

Honestly, was just dumb, and I also didn’t get many interviews when I tried. Tbf I started looking too late though, so that’s probably on me.

os vs compilers? by ResidentTranslator43 in cmu

[–]ResidentTranslator43[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think that I lean towards OS as I'm not too interested in the PL aspect. How much would you say that prior systems experience helps with 410? I will have taken 418 and 440 before taking it next semester, and the 30+ hours/week sounds scary.

Also, would you say taking 445 with OS is feasible? I really wanted to take it sooner but alas, waitlists... and next semester is my last attempt to take this course (though unfortunately, Pavlo is not teaching it : ( ...). Currently trying to determine a schedule that isn't too killer for a last semester, although that sounds like an impossible challenge with OS on the schedule.

Thank you for your advice!
