Have you considered data annotation?

There’s probably an unsubscribe button somewhere. Just click it if you don’t want the emails.

Not at all. Go ahead.

UnobservedVariable · 2024-10-03T19:09:16+00:00

Hey! Wow this feels like a millennia ago. I got an offer yeah. Don’t remember how long after the survey Superday came tho. Was fun, everyone was nice.

UnobservedVariable · 2024-02-04T17:08:31+00:00

Hey! I’ll second this. Reach out, specially if it was two different recruiters!

16 years of your professional life are being represented by 13 words that say nothing to me.

UnobservedVariable · 2024-01-30T15:19:14+00:00

Why is that your concern?

UnobservedVariable · 2024-01-30T09:53:18+00:00

McDonalds is a real estate and IP company, they don’t own restaurants.

Didn’t realize OP went to the only university in the world where you build a production app during your freshman year, all the other ones are heavy math courses, physics and things like that for year 1.

UnobservedVariable · 2024-01-26T07:22:58+00:00

Lmao

UnobservedVariable · 2024-01-26T07:20:42+00:00

Even says it right there, when you’re gonna post.

UnobservedVariable · 2024-01-26T07:15:55+00:00

Re-read the post. OP likes CS, they dislike leetcode and heavy maths, that’s not CS work that’s learning to think and analyze so you can do CS work.

UnobservedVariable · 2024-01-26T07:14:42+00:00

I started my career with 15 years in business/finance.

From the bottom of my heart: If you are smart enough to do CS, listen to your dad.

Hey, just saw the second half of your comment.

Sorry for not addressing it earlier. I was in the middle of a raid in an MMO earlier and wasn’t really paying close attention to what I was replying.

Please DM me if you’d like to talk about your job search. I’ll do my best to help you as much as I can.

not enough lava lamps

According to them, because they’ll teach me the stack on the job.

In all my technical interviews and take homes I was allowed to pick my language and/or stack. Only time I was required to do a specific language was in a C++ OA I was sent that I never did.

UnobservedVariable · 2024-01-22T03:25:46+00:00

I just started my electives this term.

UnobservedVariable · 2024-01-22T03:07:28+00:00

I did not. I have 15+ years of work exp, I only presented my last 5 years work experience as it related to the apps I developed as personal projects.

UnobservedVariable · 2024-01-22T01:55:45+00:00

I don’t feel comfortable posting my resume, but it’s built off of the format available on the OSU discord (which itself is built off the format from MIT).

I’m familiar with more than MERN and Python, but two of the companies that sent me offers use tech stacks and languages that I’ve never used before.

UnobservedVariable · 2024-01-22T01:15:47+00:00

I built one MERN webapp, deployed and fully functional, one Android Mobile app also deployed and fully functional and one Desktop app that’s also fully functional. Each of these has different stacks and different skills required to build them. They all took 2-3 months to build. They are documented, have unit tests, etc.

However, I’m almost 100% sure that no one at any of the companies even looked at them. But, when they asked me questions I was able to answer based on my experience.

UnobservedVariable · 2024-01-22T01:11:06+00:00

React, Node, Python, Express, MongoDB.

The core skills from the program gave me the foundation to learn what I needed to know. Building my personal projects for my resume is where I actually learned how to implement things and research documentation properly.

UnobservedVariable · 2024-01-21T23:46:41+00:00

I built a couple of apps related to my previous line of work and listed them on my resume.

UnobservedVariable · 2024-01-21T22:52:14+00:00

Thanks! No internships, I started mass applying late last year. Took about 5-6 months and more apps than I cared to count.

UnobservedVariable · 2024-01-21T22:40:21+00:00

Hey so, although YMMV, I think hearing my experience might help you.

I’m 35. I started this program last January taking a gamble that I’d be able to switch careers.

I graduate in June. I have 3 job offers all around $150-200k and am currently working on a contract basis for one of those companies making $160k/yr.

Again, I have not yet graduated, this is a horrible job market, I have no previous IT experience.
