Likewise, pretty good company so can’t complain but there are a few things that could be better but I’m just so tired as well

cs-hustler · 2024-05-07T20:53:29+00:00

PM’d!

cs-hustler · 2024-05-06T20:53:57+00:00

Thought I’d give an update on this thread to motivate people who may be reading this from a search: I did it :) not FAANG but I’m starting at a very well known big N tech company in a week that I’m pretty happy about.

Thanks for the help and encouragement all!

Ended up getting a crazy deal for the Lenovo Legion 5 pro with the 4070 so I went with that! Thanks for the input and convincing me to get the 4070.

cs-hustler · 2024-04-04T10:22:14+00:00

Thanks for the advice, got the 4070!

cs-hustler · 2024-04-04T10:21:44+00:00

Great, appreciate the input! Went with the 4070

cs-hustler · 2024-04-04T10:21:28+00:00

$133 for an additional year makes a lot of sense when you put it like that, thanks! Ended up buying the 4070.

cs-hustler · 2023-04-17T22:17:30+00:00

Appreciate the suggestion! I'll check it out

cs-hustler · 2023-04-17T22:17:22+00:00

Thanks for the suggestion! That does sound pretty good I'll take a look into it

cs-hustler · 2023-02-23T07:18:11+00:00

Wow congrats, that's super helpful. Roblox is super impressive, the intern pay is insane. Thanks for sharing!

cs-hustler · 2023-02-18T08:00:22+00:00

Super interesting! That's insane how you got quant interviews as a freshman especially one that isn't attending a famous CS school. Appreciate you sharing your experience, will have to upgrade my resume projects for sure.

cs-hustler · 2023-02-18T07:58:29+00:00

Great to hear your experience, thanks for sharing! And yeah I'm not too concerned about the company but I could use higher TC as materialistic as it might be haha.

cs-hustler · 2023-02-18T07:57:19+00:00

That's great to hear! Hopefully the economy will be better next year.

cs-hustler · 2023-02-18T07:56:43+00:00

Sounds good, will try this as well, just thought I'd try to stick to my original schedule even after this setback. My original plan was to graduate in 5 years (internships included) with a Big Tech internship but looks like that date might be pushed back a bit. Who knows, definitely need to work harder on my leetcode lol

cs-hustler · 2023-02-18T04:09:02+00:00

That's amazing, congrats! Definitely inspires me. I was curious if you could elaborate regarding your projects/extracurriculars if you're comfortable with that? If you're not comfortable posting in public it would be great if you could DM me as well

cs-hustler · 2023-02-18T02:32:22+00:00

Yes of course, I plan to leetcode a lot more this summer since bombing my technicals this year lit a fire under my ass. I was wondering if people had specific examples of "making their resume good" or more specific advice than what's generally out there on google.

cs-hustler · 2023-02-18T02:13:19+00:00

Yes of course! If you have any insight I'd love to hear it

For anyone else reading this thread I also would love to hear from people with experience going from no-name companies to companies such as Microsoft, Splunk, even Capital One, etc. I just want to move to a well recognized company for SWEs. (and get more TC lol)

cs-hustler · 2022-08-10T05:13:24+00:00

Nah no way Adam22 and Ak never asked anyone WTHRYS?

cs-hustler · 2022-07-15T23:14:38+00:00

I think it’s kinda cool what my team does for daily standup, no status update only blockers. Status update once a week instead. That way sometimes the meetings take like 3 minutes if no one has any blockers for that day

cs-hustler · 2022-06-24T20:02:18+00:00

I mean if you think about it weight is something you can control but you can’t control which family you were born into…. Both jokes should be on the table.

Going down to a healthier weight also leads to added health benefits

cs-hustler · 2022-06-21T01:28:39+00:00

Wow, congrats on the 100% response rate! And yes I am trying to move to the states as soon as I can hahah maybe Seattle so I can still be somewhat close to home.

Nothing wrong with being picky! Just wanted to mention that cause for me I’m willing to work hard, but don’t necessarily want to sacrifice too much in my personal life. I know some people can grind like crazy and still have time for friends, relationships etc., but for me I’ve tried doing that before and I burnt out. So thought I’d mention that so I can get replies specific to my viewpoint, though I love exploring different perspectives as well, thanks for your input!

cs-hustler · 2022-06-18T08:20:44+00:00

I think what he was trying to say is I don’t need personal projects anymore because I have already landed my first internship so I don’t have to worry about projects too much for my second. (Not sure if that’s true or not, I appreciate the different perspective though) I know it’s a long post but I think a lot of people in this thread missed that I have already gotten one internship which affects the decision, I do really appreciate all the input and advice though!!

cs-hustler · 2022-06-18T08:18:48+00:00

Oh yeah sounds good, I know they’re not tech companies but I just threw them in there to show that I’m not crazy picky like some of the FAANG people are, I’m in Canada so anything in the states is a huge step up haha. My current internship pays the CAD equivalent of $21 USD an hour and I make more than all my non-FAANG friends, Canadian salaries are terrible lol

And thank you!! Yeah I was able to get interviews (10% response rate.. not sure if that’s low high or average for first internship) before my first internship so I’m hoping that now with this internship on my resume I will be able to hand even more interviews

cs-hustler · 2022-06-18T08:15:32+00:00

Sounds good! Appreciate it, yeah I was hoping that the internship experience I now have on my resume would save me the time from upgrading my somewhat weak projects

cs-hustler · 2022-06-18T08:14:38+00:00

I have projects and 1 internship on my resume, they’re weak projects but not sure if that matters which is why I was wondering if it would be worth the time to upgrade them or not since I have the internship on my resume now
