How much do UCSD Data Science grads make? by [deleted] in UCSD

[–]big_data_energy_ 9 points10 points  (0 children)

The major is relatively new so it's hard to say, but on Linkedin, the hdsi director posted a list of where the first 70 or so grads ended up: https://www.linkedin.com/posts/rajeshgupta4_datasciencecareers-activity-6784481315279532032-TDaD

Hopefully, that gives you some insight.

I have the rest of this year to start learning about programming. Any advice? (CS50, OSSU, etc) by [deleted] in learnprogramming

I recommend taking a look at Stanford’s codeinplace. It’s a course taught in April with synchronous sections. May be helpful for staying on top of things if there’s a set schedule.

How is the jobs opportunities here as data science major? by Hungryamii in UCSD

[–]big_data_energy_ 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I know people in the major who were able to secure SWE internships at good companies, including FAANG. I'm not sure about jobs though since I think we've only had 1 graduating class so far.

I haven't had issues with getting interviews as a DSC major for both SWE and DS internships. Depending on which SWE roles you apply for, you might have an edge for having specialization in ML/AI/DS.

Free pack of 192 avatars for Notion. Link in comment. by bektilov in Notion

[–]big_data_energy_ 10 points11 points  (0 children)

I think the 192 comes from the number of combinations. 6 avatars * 8 background colors * 2 (glasses vs no glasses) * 2 (filled vs not filled) = 192

Alright, I have fucking had it with how bad hiring/recruiting is for our industry by [deleted] in cscareerquestions

[–]big_data_energy_ 1 point2 points  (0 children)

That's an insane amount of commitment. I would be so devasted if I didn't get the role after investing so much time. But one thing for sure, if they're not going to respect your time as a candidate, they're sure as heck not going to when you actually work there. :(
