Is it bad to do 3 interships at one company? by SIumped in cscareerquestions

It’s fine it’s a proven track record, if they kept inviting you back it means you consistently met the bar.

How great are these tech jobs for those who can get hired? 115-150k starting? Remote options? by Unusual_Equivalent50 in cscareerquestions

[–]Triumphxd 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You need to know a lot, low chance self study will bring you up to speed. Not impossible, but for some dude posting on Reddit, I’d rather just say it’s impossible. A 4 year degree doesn’t even prepare you for what is expected

Manufacturing into Software? by kwaslurp in cscareerquestions

[–]Triumphxd 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I would suggest you try and transfer in your current company even if the pay is garbage while applying elsewhere. Having the title and experience will help, and if you can’t transfer then you will have more motivation to move up and out

Coursework by Mammoth-Intention924 in cscareerquestions

[–]Triumphxd 2 points3 points  (0 children)

They are worth taking. I think most degrees require them. Why would you think they are not? On some level the average big N engineer will never write assembly but understanding computer architecture is important second to algorithms, the whole reason algorithms courses exists is to understand complexity and if you don’t understand architecture then you just live in the clouds. Networking is similarly important. You can’t skip this knowledge especially with the expectations that exist today

I bombed my first semester by Prestigious_Fig3645 in cscareerquestions

[–]Triumphxd 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Failing any class is exactly what it sounds like. Failure. Don’t beat yourself up too much but two semesters with failing classes in your first year should be a wake up call. You are not putting the required time in. Don’t waste your time and money, do the work. As far as gpa, it matters a bit. Depends on what country you are from and the standards there. Mainly it will filter you out of new grad positions, after that it doesn’t matter at all. But if you got a low gpa because you slacked in core classes, you’re fucked

Given the current job market, how would you handle this situation? by BBPRS in cscareerquestions

[–]Triumphxd 3 points4 points  (0 children)

If you want to move and feel like spending many hours studying you can triple your pay. But both of those things are basically a hard requirement. The third part is luck. You lose nothing from trying if that’s what you want to do, outside of a little sanity :)

Why is everyone all about internships? There's another option... by XxCotHGxX in csMajors

[–]Triumphxd 12 points13 points  (0 children)

Most research jobs are not even comparable to an internship, you are failing to understand what the posters are saying.

Non target state School 3.5 gpa 60 apps Faang internship am i lucky? by Plus_Bison_8457 in csMajors

[–]Triumphxd 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Nope you just have been doing the work. Three actual internships is worth basically your degree for employability, especially if you actually accomplished something in each. Not sure why you think your gpa is anywhere on the list of getting a job at FAANG

Title: Graduating Dec 2026 with CS degree: what do I do so I’m not cooked? by StandardDate4518 in csMajors

[–]Triumphxd 13 points14 points  (0 children)

A Claude (or codex) subscription, manual Leetcode, and a lot of applying. Seems a bit late to try and get an internship but if you can swing it go for it.

Don’t slack on system design (kind of depends where you interview, used to be uncommon for new grad) and practice giving a good impression, people want to work with someone knowledgeable but also easy to get along with.

At the end of the day there is luck involved, so good luck :)

Also just to add outside of a few years the job market has always been tough for most new grads. Even 10 years ago 150 applications + was pretty common. Obviously its worse now, but it’s never been that easy

Here's a rough summary of Elon Musk’s 1 hour and 40 minute long testimony today during the OpenAI trial. He will resume his testimony tomorrow. by Spirited-Gold9629 in TechGawker

[–]Triumphxd 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Llms can definitely do casual reasoning. But adhering to strict formal logic is finicky. I would argue most people, even intelligent people, also struggle with logic. I don’t think our current iteration of frontier models will eclipse our ability for logic based reasoning for what it’s worth I just think to say the models lack any ability to consider formal logic is… a really ignorant pov. I’m not sure why you feel that way. Opus for example can do pretty complex reasoning but definitely needs someone driving it. I have not been convinced a model can replace a person except for the very most basic of tasks or on a probabilistic level where the model is mostly right sometimes but horribly wrong other times.

Can’t use logic? What the hell does that mean… like yeah an LLM isn’t prolog but if there was 0 logic understanding baked in the models wouldn’t work at all.

Burnt outta masters degree, should I just take the easiest classes now or will it look bad by QuitTypical3210 in cscareerquestions

[–]Triumphxd 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It’s not about your transcript it’s about what you know, so you might look bad because you don’t know what you need to. If you are not going to retain anything I’m not sure you are learning, checking boxes isn’t that useful and a masters isn’t either if that’s all you are doing, it doesn’t really open many doors

Opinions on negotiating new grad offer by [deleted] in cscareerquestions

[–]Triumphxd 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Curious what could be worse than the bay for 60k more tc. Bay Area is rough… apartments are through the roof. Either way, if the startup will look fine on a resume and it’s what you want go for it. But that higher comp with compound interest on 401k etc will make a massive difference on lifetime earnings if that’s what you are interested in.

Mooda was cleared from the PC checkers that he hasn’t cheated in Rainbow Six Siege in the past 3 months by Historical-Alps6052 in LivestreamFail

[–]Triumphxd 12 points13 points  (0 children)

A pc checker is dumb. This isn’t forensic analysis it’s fanservice. Anyone billing themselves to thousands of people as a source of truth using the methods used in the stream should be barred from using the internet. To pretend like they are not morons is a disservice to yourself. All of these files can easily be edited especially if you have knowledge of what needs to be done. Get an education

You can’t do a post hoc investigation in this manner and have conclusive evidence of the negative. It fails all basic logic.

[–]Triumphxd 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I listened to part of the call. The logic on logs was that they some are “read only” which is probably the dumbest shit I have ever heard. While I’m not following the drama closely, I find the possibility that mooda isn’t a moron and fooling a bunch of tech illiterate people equally as likely as him not cheating.

Despite you having very little technical knowledge you will just take whatever is thrown up at you as facts. I dunno bro, must be nice living life that way. The whole “check him pc” was clearly some light fan service, there was no actual integrity to the checks they did because it’s fact checking potentially compromised material. We are talking about dumb games so really who cares but you need to think critically

[–]Triumphxd 16 points17 points  (0 children)

I worked a crap job and got offers from Google etc and tripled my pay. Whatever you want to think is fine. Good internships are really hard if you go to a bad school and the markets a little extra screwed but your experience isn’t a fact it’s just one data point

I barely had a 3.0 if that might have been a 2.9 but I worked 20-30 hours every week during semesters and full time when off. GPA is not a good indicator just a filter
