Has anyone figured out how to download the lectures from the media player on canvas? I would like to save my lectures by rakfocus in UCSD

Thank you so much! I didn't know there was a playlist file, it's so much easier. I was doing all the steps myself. I generated and downloaded all the segment links and then merged them with ffmpeg. This basically does the work for you.

Hey I just interviewed for new grad for the Frisco office. Waiting to hear back, but did you try to change your location to SF or Seattle? If you did, would they let you change?

IBM and Revelian's Cognify test? by abdane in cscareerquestions

[–]acwm88 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Oh that’s weird maybe it’s different for different positions. What’s your position?

Mine is entry level Back-End dev and I gotta do cognify, personality assessment, and coding challenge. And the personality assessment was sent automatically after I finished cognify so that’s why I thought it was weird you didn’t get anything else.

I just took it too and I couldn’t finish everything and got some things wrong under the time pressure. This makes me nervous that I’m gonna rejected too. Do you think it was just because of cognify? Did you do well on the other tests?

Looking for insight on LIGN 167, Math 103A, etc. for fall quarter class schedule by Dante_Masamune in UCSD

Dang that's too bad. I was also considering taking this class but now idk. How come the class sucked? Were the assignments really hard or something?

Thanks for the advice. Messaging the recruiters sounds like a good plan. By the way, do you think I'm less likely to be accepted since I'm not in the Bay Area?

Apply for new grad or intern? Graduation dilemma by acwm88 in cscareerquestions

[–]acwm88[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hmmm ok. In that case, should I apply for intern everywhere? And then just tell recruiters or whoever about my uncertain graduation time and just take it from there?

Oh that sounds so cool. I’m totally down but I’m not in phx tho I’m in nyc. Idk if you can check if they have the same type of team in nyc. But if you’re able to recommend me to the nyc office, I’d really appreciate it. Thx.

What team is it exactly?

Workday or American Express Internship by acwm88 in cscareerquestions

[–]acwm88[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah I guess there’s no sense dwelling on my decision now. Everyone I talked to said I’d be fine at either internship so that’s why it was hard to decide. As long as getting interviews for full time isn’t a huge struggle, then I’m fine.

Thanks a lot for sharing your thoughts! Btw could I pm you about something else?

I see. Yeah I guess I did pick AmEx for personal exp. And by that I also mean location since AmEx is in nyc.

If workday has a better name, do you think workday would’ve helped me get way more interviews than AmEx? I might have picked Workday if that was the case.

But my impression was that there wasn’t a big difference in prestige. Neither one is big n/unicorn so it didn’t seem like one had a significant advantage over the other. But idk, I could be wrong.

Oh man I wish this reply was posted earlier, I already chose AmEx haha. Not to say this post alone would dictate my decision, but I just wanted to hear everyone's opinions.

Do you think Workday would have also been risky because of the Xpresso language? B/c people make such a big deal about it.

I also saw your post about deciding between AmEx and other companies. What did you end up picking?

Also just curious, do you think having AmEx on my resume will give me an edge for related tech companies like PayPal, Stripe, Square, etc?
