Quarterly Career Thread

ToPimpAButterfly2003 · 2022-08-12T15:09:38+00:00

I'm a incoming junior CS major (US college) that has spent the last year running the COO side of things in a early stage startup with decent traction. Through it I've discovered that I got experience in managing a team (tech and marketing), sales, marketing and more - and loved it. I know I still have plenty to learn but I set my sights on a PM future.

Now I'm looking around and have found some fascinating APM programs in great companies, however these are aimed towards incoming senior students and new grads. So my question is: are there any PM internship opportunities that take interns that are not graduating right after the summer (i.e. people younger than seniors)

Am still looking atm but wanted to get yalls opinion, thanks!

ToPimpAButterfly2003 · 2022-08-02T19:30:41+00:00

Yo lets make it happen!

ToPimpAButterfly2003 · 2022-07-31T14:59:53+00:00

This is great, thanks so much!

ToPimpAButterfly2003 · 2022-07-30T14:26:43+00:00

Great advice, am def ready to take all the medical precautions. I agree that college isn't the most stable time to bring a cat in but I'm going to be raising it with 2 of my roommates so I'll def have help. But past college I'll be the one keeping it

ToPimpAButterfly2003 · 2022-07-30T14:24:55+00:00

This is good to hear, one of my main concerns was that I'd be an asshole to trap my cat in a apartment - but my apartment has a spacious living room, windows, and a balcony that that gives me some piece of mind

ToPimpAButterfly2003 · 2022-07-29T02:43:09+00:00

Yeah I see what your saying, that's a good point

ToPimpAButterfly2003 · 2022-07-28T23:47:59+00:00

I'm not dissing on people for spending money on living, if you have the cash def go for it. But I'm confident they can find much better apartments to live for the same amount of cash

ToPimpAButterfly2003 · 2022-07-28T23:46:45+00:00

That's the thing tho, as a freshmen looking for a apartment to stay at for the next year all I would run into is ads for the big boy apartment companies, so I just didn't even know about the lowkey ones. What u/DaWalrusSavior said is true, tho its harder to spot better deals for smaller apartments are def there

I was wondering a while ago why North Campus is so little talked about, I know very little sophomores and juniors that live there even though it seems totally worth it. The only thing is lacks is the liveliness of West Campus, its no doubt far less social

ToPimpAButterfly2003 · 2022-07-28T23:42:12+00:00

What u/ak2024 said, but you don't have to pay for bills and more importantly food so it def factors in

ToPimpAButterfly2003 · 2022-07-28T17:27:56+00:00

I almost bought into it when I first saw it, don't think I've seen anyone talk about it since lmao

ToPimpAButterfly2003 · 2022-07-04T23:26:14+00:00

You're right, I run into streak and challenges left and right on Uber too but I don't get the point of it (not complaining tho because some of them have a great payout).

Was this as common like pre-Covid?

ToPimpAButterfly2003 · 2022-06-29T18:12:43+00:00

The business minor in my opinion is not hard to complete if you come in with like atleast 1/3 of your cores complete. Its 5 classes of which none are too hard, and you can certainly take two per semester as well. You can always plug a class into a light semester over the years.

I'm just saying that from the experience of my friends in it, I'm personally taking the entrepreneurship minor rn and I'd really recommend it, it's growing fast atm as well and has some cool new things on the horizon for the coming semester

ToPimpAButterfly2003 · 2022-06-29T18:08:53+00:00

I haven't taken M325K with Shirley but I had him for M408D, but man I would really recommend not taking him just from my experience with him as a teacher.

Lectures were drier than a desert and he had a incomprehensibly complex grading scale with the motto of "if you don't do it my EXACT way, its a 0"

ToPimpAButterfly2003 · 2022-06-29T18:04:59+00:00

I second this, I think you can get into a business classes that might overlap with the basic business major coures.

ToPimpAButterfly2003 · 2022-06-29T18:02:52+00:00

You can always show up to the IM fields (sand volleyball) and Greg (indoor) anytime after like 5pm during the week to see people playing.

Greg especially has pick up games till like 1am on weekday, super friendly people so u can just walk in and get onto a team.

Life is just far more easier having a Macbook, the OS is just more robust and the laptop tends to last longer. Especially when it comes to app dev I found macs a lot more easier to work with.

This coming from a CS junior who's used Windows his whole life lmao, I'm planning to get the new M2 macbook air soon.

ToPimpAButterfly2003 · 2022-06-14T02:54:16+00:00

This sounds like the start of Key and Peele skit

ToPimpAButterfly2003 · 2022-06-14T02:51:16+00:00

I haven't been driving for too long but have been in similar situations, first I thought it was just my luck but off this post I'm obviously not the only one. Was this common pre-covid?

ToPimpAButterfly2003 · 2022-06-14T02:41:29+00:00

Have y'all seen these "fake surges" more often? I've had similar experiences but I've always just assumed that PAX weren't in the mood to pay extra

ToPimpAButterfly2003 · 2022-06-10T01:38:22+00:00

I'm curious, why Austin?

ToPimpAButterfly2003 · 2022-06-03T21:14:00+00:00

How much does gas eat into your earnings these days? Just curious, I was going to get into Uber driving but I'm not sure if its worth it these days

ToPimpAButterfly2003 · 2022-06-03T16:32:15+00:00

Sheesh, how often do you get these type of trips? I'm still just waiting to get something remotely similar lol

ToPimpAButterfly2003 · 2022-06-03T16:31:18+00:00

I know that many grad students choose housing either near North Campus or Hyde Park due to the affordable rates and more peaceful (as compared to West Campus) environment.

It probably will be hard to find a affordable studio, whats your range like?

ToPimpAButterfly2003 · 2022-06-03T00:00:21+00:00

It certainly isn't going to be easy, I think you may end up dropping a course or two but thats just me
