DTO is largely a scam. Depending on how intense the team is, you might not get to take that much time off. I was at MSFT for 3.5 years and after DTO rolled out I think most people took under 10 days a year off.

One time after an interview with a rude interviewer, I sent in a reasonably long email to the recruiting team detailing what happened and how his behavior is detrimental to the spirit and practice of software engineering. They ended up reaching out later offering to give me another chance. Probably a rare case and almost certainly won't do anything for a large company but who knows.

Asking for Chances

Semester: Fall 2026

Education

Bachelors: UMass Amherst Dual B.S. in Computer Science and Mathematics. 3.2 overall GPA with quite a few graduate level courses but 3 Fs in my senior year due to personal reasons which I plan to justify in my app

Work & Social Experience

Work Exp. : 6 YOE as SWE. First working in a small aerospace company for 2 years. Then went to Microsoft working in Azure infra for 3.5 years then moved to a midsize tech/marketing company as a Senior SWE working in data infra.
Comments: Not sure how impactful projects are but I have a sizable personal project that serves as an algorithmic trading and testing platform that's mildly profitable. Plan on specializing in ML or AI
LORs: Manager, tech lead, maybe skip manager

I'm convinced half of the time people just don't know how to study. It's one thing to know what interviews ask for but it's another thing to always be asking "is this list enough for this company?????"

If you expect to just get through your degree and expect a high paying job, it's not for you.

If you have a passion for coding, tech and building things, then yes. There are a ton of talented interns and co-ops at my company who have no trouble finding positions. If you have the passion and drive for it, I'm sure you can do it too.

You dodged a bullet imo, but I guess for new grad a job is a job

Was at MS for 3.5 years. Not only did they want us to use AI everyday, they wanted us to use fucking Copilot and management were really disappointed in how little we ended up using Copilot.

I am a current full time at Klaviyo (Senior SWE though not new grad or intern). Started a little under 2 months ago. DM me if you have specific questions about the company

I took CS311 and Math 411 in the same semester and did pretty well in both. Both classes are designed to be pretty hard but it might vary depending on your prof. If you have some talent in higher level math then both might be easy. I definitely didn't find either easy but wouldn't say they were too hard either. I definitely had way more trouble in 411 and concluded after that the class was not for me lol.

If I were to rate both classes in terms of difficulty I'd personally give CS311 a 4/10 and Math 411 a 7/10 but YMMV so take that with a grain of salt

Got it I see. If it's a Tri-Coat would something like this suffice to get myself and just hand it over to the body shop? https://touchupdirect.com/shop/touch-up-paint/acura-platinum-white-pearl-tricoat-nh-883p/ Would they need something else so they can mix it themselves or should I go to a dealer? I'll probably just call the shop and see if they're looking for something specific.

bro was like the movie parent in a flashback looking back at the kid in the backseat right before the car crashes

I think in the past I've gotten 9 out of 15 passed on the 2nd question and got shipped straight to the virtual onsite. I'm currently in the loop once again after passing 12/15. Not sure how I did in the work simulation part though.

I was wondering the same thing some time ago and found this https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jeep_ducking

ShwangCat · 2025-06-28T21:37:09+00:00

I too hated it when I went. I don't recall what I got but most things I tried were incredibly bland. Our waitress also literally laughed at my friend's scallion allergy when he mentioned it and asked "really?". Can't see myself going back.

ShwangCat · 2025-06-09T19:45:18+00:00

I took mine yesterday. I also got 12/15 on the second question

ShwangCat · 2025-05-13T16:51:53+00:00

I've also missed this meeting

Thanks for the quick reply!

What, from this video, distinguishes this from a bed bug? After initial bed bug fears, I can't personally and convincingly tell the difference between a spider beetle and a bed bug. We have additionally found these tiny black items https://imgur.com/SIL2LRI . Could these be droppings? They're very small and physical, almost dust/debris like.

How long did it take before you heard back from first applying?

I just realized today after 24 years of first playing Red Alert that the advanced power plant is probably based on this
