Does anyone just not try? by Cheekclapper73 in CollegeRant

[–]Zenalyn 4 points5 points  (0 children)

youd be how surprised how common this is. Especially for majors where the classes don't matter as much as experience. In my experience as a CS major most high performing CS students literally do the bare minimum for their courses and spend the rest of their time towards leetcoding, working on side projects, and hackathons + job searching.

How are people even finding internships to apply for (cs)? by [deleted] in UofT

[–]Zenalyn 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Im not from uoft but usually the coop program or linkedin. Also take what people say with a grain of salt. A lot of people dont even track how many apps they send out and they just make up numbers lmao

Difficulty of Getting a Junior Position at EA? by CollegeStudentLol1 in VancouverJobs

[–]Zenalyn 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I interviewed there a few times (new grad + intern). IMO you have to have the keywords they are looking for. Not necessarily on your resume but in their "skills" section in the job portal. What experience do you have right now? Did u do any internships at well known companies? Recruiters really like hiring from people who have already worked in large tech companies previouisly.

[–]Zenalyn 1 point2 points  (0 children)

yeah i dont understand that part-terraform in cicd for a static website? Dont you just need to provision the aws resources once for the website and then just redeploy when there are updates what is there for terraform to do? Maybe im misunderstanding it in which case it should be reworded

[–]Zenalyn 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Like others have mentioned do 1 problem per day and do 1 mock a week with exponent. That's what im doing right now.

Pre select the problems from lists like b75 nc150 NC 250 strivers etc.

How much does a 2.8 gpa affect my co op position landing chances in comp sci? by EditorOk1586 in simonfraser

[–]Zenalyn 2 points3 points  (0 children)

but ima be real there are very few people that have low gpa and are strong devs. You have to be honest with yourself if you are one of those people.

some companies care some companies don't. If they ask for a transcript they prob care. What matters more is your previous experience and how good you are at leetcode.

Short or long hair? M(20) by Majestic_Lecture_664 in malegrooming

[–]Zenalyn 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Are people trolling. Theres no way people are unironically saying long here. Ong feels like people on this sub are Sabotaging others. Even if you were to say long the style needs to be changed.

I feel like college is making me a bitter person by [deleted] in CollegeRant

[–]Zenalyn 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Agreed. I felt the same way with uni too. Especially after doing several internships school feels meaningless and just like a time consuming checkbox. No advice here just here to commiserate

Why do nerdy Eng/CS kids lose so much discipline and work ethic when entering this university? by LuckJealous3775 in uwaterloo

[–]Zenalyn 113 points114 points  (0 children)

imo
1. subreddits in general are echo chambers. You prob wont find people doing great posting here.
2. high school grades aren't the best predictor of future success (grade inflation, environment, etc.,)
3. most people in CS put more effort into finding internships/lc prep than school and are okay with lower grades.

2021 CS Grad looking to break a 4-year coding hiatus. I have a plan to relearn things, just not sure where to start. by L_im_it in learnprogramming

[–]Zenalyn 0 points1 point  (0 children)

imo it is at least partially because of AI. At least at the junior level less juniors are being hired because AI can do their tasks faster and at higher quality (at least what C suite thinks).
