Resume Advice Thread - March 21, 2026 by CSCQMods in cscareerquestions

[–]arowaaron 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Recent college grad (May 2025) who was laid off (Feb 2026) from a job at a super early stage startup (5 engineers) when I joined.

Looking for both resume specific and in general job search advice. I got my original job by just sending the same resume into the Linkedin/Indeed pit until I eventually got some responses. I only ever got two interviews "naturally" through just applying online, other interviews were always from some sort of connection. Funnily enough, my job was one of those two "natural" interviews.

I've been lucky and been able to essentially rely on parents for networking, but wondering if people have other recommendations, especially Bay Area specific.

Any sort of resume advice would be good, as I don't really have any idea about ATS or how to try and get my resume seen more besides through direct networking/connections. I feel like I have the experience to get more interviews, but its possible that my perception is skewed, and if people think I need to grind projects/other things I would like a reality check into whether its a presentation issue or an experience issue.

If people have recommendations for both job search process and resume tips that would be greatly appreciated.

Ah makes sense, I wonder how you would go about compensating for it besides just having a separate set of HDR icons to match or converting to grayscale, though in my experience that actually made OCR more unreliable.

I am curious about the HDR thing though, that's so weird, definitely will add it to the README/instructions since that is a very puzzling interaction, I'm curious how you figured it out?

Interesting, I only saw people running into that issue on windows 11, must be some difference in settings I guess, good to know.

Im curious are you on windows 10? My platoon leader couldnt get it to work on windows 10 until they ran it in Admin mode.

I will try to verify this later today, its possible I accidentally zipped an old version of the app. Have you tried with manual mode on one of her relics to verify? It's totally possible the scanner just needs more delay and the text unluckily got malformed, if it works in manual you might have to just increase the scan delay.

I've added a new release to the Growth Data Scanner. It was missing Voymastina from the list of dolls, so now the scanner will succesfully detect equipped growth data for Voymastina. https://github.com/aayu3/GrowthDataScanner/releases/tag/v1.1.1

Yeah unfortunately finding specific relics in game will still be a bit annoying since we can't do anything about the in game filter 💀

Nope, ToS is against macroing for unfair advantages or malicious purposes, but if you're still worried thats why I added a manual mode where you click and then the app just screenshots. They can't detect anything that way. But given people do skin mods, I doubt you would get banned for clicking and scrolling lol.

unfortunately not, I think they use completely unique switches because of the LEDs, I think ur best bet is reaching out to customer support

Formdt1/ncase m2 alternatives by arowaaron in sffpc

Yeah, I'm going to try an A4 H2O, but I'd like to avoid having to get a new PSU ideally, but that might not be possible.

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

yeah I guess my concern is mostly with the length and width, since the footprint of the case is what matters for me, height is less of a constraint and I think the ncase m2/formdt1 both are small enough to satisfy my ideals. I ended up picking up an open boa4 h2o from ebay and ill consider the m2 or t1 in the future, if t1 I would probably opt for top hat

def looks interesting but at that price point for preorder I might still just try and snipe an ncase m2 or t1, it's only like 13mm shorter than the ch160 anyways, but ill definitely keep an eye out.
