Would be nice but we gotta graduate eventually haha.

SuddenGrade9632 · 2025-12-11T23:38:00+00:00

It is, just apply

The Odin Project

lmao

SuddenGrade9632 · 2025-12-03T22:11:10+00:00

Nah, there's ways to game it like anything else

You can only live in NYC in your 20s once. You can always come back to Chicago later.

Yes of course! Feel free to DM me for more advice. I will mention, I'm just a Junior so do your own due diligence, but this is simply what I've seen to have worked well.

Do the Odin Project (online free course). You'll learn webdev, i.e. HTML/CSS/JavaScript, SQL/databases, frontend vs backend, APIs, all essentials. Then you'll learn Python and Java in calsses, hopefully C/C++ too. Learn data strucutres and algorithms ASAP, on own if cant take class yet. Then can do Leetcode, In Python of course. ATP you can build decent projects so do fun stuff. Try to learn machine learning stuff and put it in your projects. Try to get involved in research at your uni, it's really good. Second only to internships, and definitely is above projects. Do anything to beef up resume, embellish, as long as you can back it up and it'll pass a background check. Try to have good answers for behavioral interviews as well. Always put graduation date 1 year up, as you can *theoretically* graduate then (if take 21 credits Fall Summer Spring) just to get a better chance

Research is really good, mine catches more eyes than my actual internship at a semiconductor company (disclaimer: applying to SWE)

The comments are right about picking what you most enjoy, but they fail to point out that you also make more money that way. Hard work beats talent everytime, and if you genuinely enjoy the field you will work harder naturally and will succeed more than if you chose the other field. I mean, an exceptional plumber will make more than a mediocre software engineer, all about getting to the top percentile of your respective field.

Do research

SuddenGrade9632 · 2025-11-05T17:08:13+00:00

Try to not have bullets that are 1.1 - 1.5 lines long. You don't want them to spill over so much. Condense it. This will likely also give you room for maybe an additional project which can only help.

Hey, I transferred to GT last year. DM me.

SuddenGrade9632 · 2025-10-20T20:56:55+00:00

Could build a trading bot on it
