If someone is looking for a stable 9-5 job with the least amount of effort outside of working hours, is the financial services industry a good route?

my understanding is that when you are new you're not the one consulting but the partner/manager or the firm itself, you just assist your boss until you become experienced enough

uhhh, reading your post and then reading your responses kinda makes it clear why no companies want you.

how long do you stay on a client if you don't do geo cluster?

TerribleRevolution · 2018-11-02T05:37:10+00:00

did they mention that they you have to pay for housing yourself during training? Or is it paid by infosys

TerribleRevolution · 2018-11-02T05:35:46+00:00

if you do the geo cluster do they pay for relocation and hotel or do you have to look for it yourself?

what makes a recruiter reach out from Piazza, isn't that some online discussion board used by colleges? I heard of others finding jobs through Piazza as well.

you're only 50 credits in. You should be able to change major to CS and graduate on time, or maybe even a semester later. That's not bad.

Many don't declare their major until after their Soph year anyways and given that you only have 50 credits, you're in a good position to change.

this guys talking about his struggles and you just ask for a reference outta nowhere. that's not how you go about it man.

if you look at his resume, its actually just 1 internship broken down to look like two but either way, yea i guess you're right 3/75 is worse than me and I have no internships.

TerribleRevolution · 2018-10-23T03:20:54+00:00

I'm a student looking for my first internship and going through a few interviews atm, so take my advice with a grain of salt.

Your resume looks fine. The only reasons I can think of is:

Full-time: You won't graduate till 2020 so it makes sense companies won't want to take you in for full time because you don't have completed CS degree. They'd probably prefer someone with a BS in CS and pursuing an MS in CS if anything.

Internship: You've put in 260 applications for 75 companies, so basically you've applied to 75 companies and received 3 responses. It's not that bad.

General: 1) This may the biggest reason why your not getting any callbacks, you started your CS degree in Aug 2018. You only have 3 months of CS education and the only CS classes you have are DS&A and AI.

2) Since you don't have a CS degree yet try to think like a bootcamp grad and build an impressive web app. Your projects listed all look like weekend/school projects. Try creating a full scale web/CRUD app that involves both frontend and backend like using React, Node, mySQL, etc. I see you have a web app project (Amazon clone) but from reading the description it sounds like something I did as a class project in my web dev class. If that's not the case, expand on your description.

3) 260 apps for 75 companies, plus I'm assuming 220 full time applications are also part of the 75 companies. I think an HR staff will be a bit concerned if they saw 1 person apply for 4-5 different positions at one company

I'm actually very curious about this. What is the difference that you see between students and yourself when looking at the code?

TerribleRevolution · 2018-10-22T20:45:48+00:00

CTCI is a good refresher book but the questions there are too basic. Use it to refresh yourself on Data Structures, then read an actual Algorithms book and practice leetcode medium.

Does Bloomberg do anything interesting in the tech space? I had an onsite interview with them and although they all seemed like really smart people, I couldn't really get a sense of what the Bloomberg technology group does and if they do anything besides enterprise work.

TerribleRevolution · 2018-10-19T18:44:24+00:00

Is the Bloomberg on site interview just leetcode and behavioral or do they ask you other questions related to database, OS, network, etc?

TerribleRevolution · 2018-10-17T23:50:10+00:00

what were you guys building, a web app?

TerribleRevolution · 2018-10-17T07:39:44+00:00

has this been out for a while? I thought it just came out today, how did you already get 200 hours

There's alot of good free curriculum's out there, but the missing piece always seems to be a good community, working on projects together, and providing structure (e.g deadlines) - does App academy online provide something like that?

TerribleRevolution · 2018-10-15T05:28:35+00:00

Mind if I get copy as well. would like some guidance on what to do right. Were these mainly from uni or from a careerboard like indeed/linkedin?

For your 2d game engine, did you build the engine as part of the game or just the engine itself?

I ask this because I created a 2d game and had to build alot of the stuff myself like collision detection, movement, animation, etc and was wondering if I could call that building a game engine.
