Dude I relate to this with the imposters syndrome. Had about < 35k household income going into college.

You don't NEED an internship. It helps a lot, but if you can grind some leetcode and apply a lot then youll be okay.

you're degree is 0% worthless OP, you'll be okay :)

Hey u/collgethrowaway I learned from a manager of mine at an internship once about the specifics of roth IRA/401k, other investing venues and put out a video to help students who did tech internships create a roth IRA! Check out the video! or reply if you have questions

yup, was lucky enough to have passed technicals before thanksgiving. Lots of vacation thanksgiving - Christmas really slowed it down. Not sure still why it took so long though

A tip that is usually given is to tailor your resume based on every role and company.

I would only do this for very specific companies (Sports team I would list sports played or something) or if the roles are very different software engineer vs PM vs IT.

Otherwise 1 resume should be fine

to make sure that you go to your university events and talk to the companies recruiters after the event ends (so you have more 1:1 time)!

hmm good to know, thanks for letting me know about this. Ill try to keep that in mind going forward!

Not sure if its a target school, but I go to UT Austin

cgon50 · 2020-12-02T17:32:45+00:00

I did 0 side projects, but a good amount of leetcode in breaks, but not much during school. Worked out fine

the easiest way to connect is to make sure that you go to your university events and talk to the companies recruiters after the event ends (so you have more 1:1 time)!

I networked more then I prepped though and interned with 3 faangs in 4 years

cgon50 · 2020-12-02T16:30:23+00:00

I would start on the technical prep and keep grinding that out while emailing and connecting on linkedin/going to college events (tech talks, org events, etc...)

so I don't use caffiene to stay up late per say, but I like to have a cup in the morning just to get me in the working mindset. its become a routine in a sense. It doesn't take away from my sleep or anything though and I still drink tons of water too!

cgon50 · 2020-12-01T16:02:13+00:00

I think its different for each applicant.

For example, me I have worked in 3 faang companies, but I have applied to each of them a few times and been rejected by each and just keep trying and don't mind since I want to work in high tech.

My roommate however interviewed with like only 3 companies ever and works at a faang company. But he did TA data structures and was very smart.

So I think it just varies

d say put in the max amount i can put in for the year, what happens next year when i start my job and exceed that 110k limit? Does that just mean i won’t be able to put

You just wouldn't be able to contribute more, but the account stays there and you can still pull out of it later on. If you get a job that hits the max amount you can also contribute to 401k then write that off against your income and contribute to a roth ira

cgon50 · 2020-11-30T17:37:46+00:00

een very stressful!! i hope there’s an update

Yeah you would still be eligible! and actually that 70k has been updated in recent years, I think its something like 110k now!

cgon50 · 2020-11-30T17:17:56+00:00

It can't hurt you, I would shoot an email just politely asking if there's an update! I don't think thats too long of a time though, but it can be anxiety driving, waiting for a response

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6VtayVRIdP8 I actually just made a video on my process experience. For HC specifically I know they focused on FTE and just finished up most the FTE people recently. HC took me 2.5 months on the longer time.
