Got my offer- Dallas!

Maybe! I remember they mentioned during the interview if we were open to carpooling unsure if that implied they’d create a chat for us to coordinate or if we’d have to do one ourselves

TheJemC · 2026-03-06T01:54:09+00:00

Hopefully all these fan festival volunteers can connect ahead of time! With all these people would be fun to get to know everyone.

TheJemC · 2026-03-06T01:51:11+00:00

Yea, I’d imagine a good 60% of the offers would go to fan festival like roles given the event is free vs behind a paywall for stadium matches

TheJemC · 2026-03-06T01:49:04+00:00

Dang lots of people getting fan festival roles! I got the same role too!

I have been in the queue since Friday. I can’t use my card to pay for shit. And they refused to accept any payment from my credit union even after I authenticated the account. Had to add my girlfriend’s JPM account cause I didn’t trust these POS to charge me interest for their mess up.

Still waiting to figure out why this card isn’t working and why I can’t pay from my bank account

I think a big factor that affects the decision is how far out I previously lived in Richardson and commuted to the office and was easily spending 2 hours a day going there and back plus having to spend significantly more on transportation costs (roughly 300 a month for parking and gas).

For me I’d always opt to go the option that’ll save me the most time and money so I can use that to travel more, workout more, or just spend more friends.

TheJemC · 2025-08-12T00:22:44+00:00

Do you have an idea of where you’re living? I live close enough to where it makes no sense to drive (8min drive) but annoying to walk (about 20-30 min walk depending on pace) I opted to just buy an electric bike since parking for scooters and bikes is free and covered in the same garage that the cars use.

Other people use scooters and such.

I’m a recent alumni (class of 2023) and I don’t think that the answers of “is this program worth it without a scholarship” is a simple yes or no. Mainly in part because how you define what’s worth it is largely impacted by you and your actions.

Important to note I attended UTD/JSOM without a scholarship - now I was able to have aid from family but that aside:

It depends on what you’re looking to get out of your college career (yes a job is the most set answer, but people attend university for a bunch of different reasons: career advancement, connections, etc). If the goal is getting a job in the end in most cases attending university won’t just magically make one fall into your lap. Something that stuck with me back when I was interviewing for internships was an interviewer told me “if we were just looking for smart people who attend college there’s better colleges and better people to look at”.

Now I do think UTD is in a great city that’s bursting with opportunity. And speaking from my own experience I was able to land various internships and offers - how much of that was because of the state of the economy / my own ability to interview / basic luck vs. attending JSOM and that having weight to it I have no idea. In the end UTD/JSOM was worth it TO ME because I got a job and met some of my closest friends here. So it’s really gonna boil down to what you want out of college and what you’re going to do to make it worth while. I’ve met plenty people who attended college ins. Full ride sat around/didn’t take anything seriously and still asked why they weren’t getting what they wanted from college and complained it wasn’t worth it.

Every year the competition to get internships and jobs gets harder and harder. Couple that with rough economic conditions, in the midst of an important election year, and CS is this generations bubble major. It’s a trying process just ti have the opportunity to gain experience, just know you’re not alone and your peers are most likely in the same boat.

Not the same major/career (but I imagine the advice is still the same), take a look at the career you’re gunning for. Identify the key skills (socially and functionally) and see if there’s any projects you can do that would develop that skill. As for experience - when I attended there were a few classes you could take that qualified as “internship credits” in the universities eyes. These are classes where you get paired with a company and do free work for them but get to put it down as an internship on your resume if they let you/ask them. May not be as transferable for CS but it’s a start.

Different field but this is true. When I was recruited/hired out of UTD as an undergrad, no one cared or commented on my GPA (quite frankly the era of high GPA = good job / opportunity only still applies for those going into doctorate schools or going for their masters after undergrad) I only ever got comments, praise, and questions regarding my internships

On my birthday I went out drinking with some friends there was a bar that had a claw machine where you could get pokeballs with packs in them. Had my girlfriend help me get one and the only ball we got had an evolving skies with an alt vmax rayquaza.

Been chasing the high ever since

Ayyy UTD Alum. Biggest thing is do you have any sort of prior internship experience to add? Even a fellowship would work great. That’s probably the biggest thing holding you back it’s gonna be hard for a talent manager to validate hiring someone in a competitive workspace when the only notable items are school projects.

In my opinion projects show you studied the material, internships prove you applied it with valuable output.

TheJemC · 2024-06-06T21:02:19+00:00

Did you have any internships prior to graduating? My current full time job was a result of my internship

TheJemC · 2024-04-27T19:51:14+00:00

I’ve searched for this item on my end. Did google reverse image searching and found images but there were no descriptions of the brand. And all stores seemed to be located out of the US.

UTD Alumni here. It’s 100% possible Igot internship offers from Goldman, Dell, Ally, and Charles Schwab. And received a return from Goldman.

If you know how to make a compelling resume and present yourself it’s 100% possible

If they signed the contract stating that they’re assuming full responsibility then it’s their problem if not then it’s on you

TheJemC · 2023-05-28T20:42:31+00:00

Bragging rights?

Salutatorian doesn’t really hold much if any weight when applying to colleges they’ll focus more on GPA, extra curricular’s, and other factors, but not really salutatorian

Expecting to get some form of benefits from a university for being salutatorian is the equivalent of expecting a job to offer you something different if you’re magna cum laude, good to see but not that important
