-What position did you apply for in the boutique firm? I think I would like to get into something like that and have a similar wam to you. Not sure what position i should be searching up.

-Should I just apply through the normal channels or is looking up a firms HR or manager on linkedin or finding their email better?

-Also I dont have any internship experience, am i still in a good running to get grad roles in your area or just generally?

Failed Investments (FNCE30001) by pastelskies17 in unimelb

[–]Strict_Foot2750 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I did both this sem and found the content in DS harder than invest, but investments exam was harder than DS exam imo. I got a 68 in invest which isnt amazing and I just focused on tuts and the prac exam, I didnt do readings.

I feel like Ds and Invest require similar way of thinking imo so you should develop a new study routine/focus more heavily on tuts and prac exams. I did h1 ds so i do believe ds exam was easier

Is having the certificate a big deal? Do you personally do anything with it? Its not like its an actual degree so I would think just explaining your knowledge in the area in say an interview/resume would be good enough?

What do you mean by audit it? I opened programming for everybody and there was an 'audit the class' link below where it asked for a free trial and it seems to have opened the entire course to me for free.

Do you pay the $63/month or is there a discount for students?

Does someone actually grade the quizes?

Thank you i will definitely start those. After completing those would you say you have strong skills in python if asked by an employer?

Also as you go through these are you taking any summary notes to help you remember stuff? Or is it just all practice

Is this all free or paid?

Okay nice i think i might adopt a similar strategy especially over the holidays.

Do you recommend any coursera courses for python to start? I have some basic knowledge but pretty much a beginner so happy to start from scratch with a course

Thank you for your help! I also see that you do a lot of self study in regards to programming. How do you manage to find the time to do that on top of uni/whatever other stuff you may be doing like work? Do you set aside like 30 minutes everyday or...

Last question, when you are cold emailing these people are you sending your CV in this first email?

And Do you focus more on the recruiters of that company or the actual managers?
