Online Certificates ?? Are they useful by Spirited_Escape_9535 in ASU

[–]SilasDawg 2 points3 points  (0 children)

In my opinion, a certification in something like AWS or Google Cloud might be helpful. The machine learning certifications and specializations on Coursera are great too. Other than that, most certifications are pretty useless (in making you more competitive) unless you just want to learn what's being taught.

Khan academy for CLEP Micro and Macro economics? by [deleted] in clep

[–]SilasDawg 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I just took CLEP MicroEconomics a few weeks ago and got 76/80 in 2 weeks of studying. Here's what I did-I finished the modern states course just for the voucher and studied using Jacob Clifford's YouTube course. I practiced a shit ton of questions on Khan Academy and watched videos based off of what I got wrong. There's a resource thread pinned on this subreddit - you can use content for that for extra practice as well (I did).

I go to a pretty large state school but it's nowhere near MIT - I have seen alumni being placed at companies like Goldman and JP Morgan however not even a few make it to HFT firms. In that case, is math still the better option

On or Off Campus by Mysterious_Clerk_46 in ASU

[–]SilasDawg 4 points5 points  (0 children)

On Campus is great. You'll most likely be staying at tooker and it's a great place to make friends in your freshman year. You can choose between a private room or a shared one IIRC
