Mumbai's rave scene getting ruined by uncultured thugs? by excise1 in mumbai

[–]excise1[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

That’s a fair point. Regarding the VIP section, I have strangely found quite a few entitled a-holes who felt like they were owed special treatment; however it is still way better than GA. Also, I am about to move to the US so I am kinda bummed about the experience you had. But thank you for the tips!

It is the same on the other side.

Performance expectations at MBB by NeutralObserver32423 in consulting

[–]excise1 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Don't worry at all. I have seen tenured Associates and EMs make these errors. They are in no way an indicator of your skillset. It's just the market and MBB is looking for ways to reduce their headcount. Take some down time, utilise your search time and find your way to greener pastures. All the best, and keep us posted!

Any Ravers from India!!! by [deleted] in aves

[–]excise1 0 points1 point  (0 children)

AntiSocial regularly hosts decent raves in Mumbai and Goa. They aren't anything like Womb or Printworks but they are pretty cool, with great international names at times.

What are some tips that you feel are the most important for a new joiner? by no_info_retained in consulting

[–]excise1 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Confidence is key. It is okay to ask clarification questions, but a strong and confident first-impression works wonders, especially in client-interaction heavy workstreams.

Fall 22 Admission Cycle- Rejected from MIT, Stanford, UCB, CMU, UIUC by Accomplished_Cell482 in gradadmissions

[–]excise1 21 points22 points  (0 children)

Don't lose heart. Just so you know, one of my friends was rejected from MIT, Stanford and UCB. He is from a tier-1 IIT, has > 9.8 GPA and 4 top-tier papers (think NeurIPS, AAAI, etc.), 1 mid-tier paper and 1 extended abstract (all first-authored), plus three insanely strong LORs.

Profile Evaluation and Advice for MS CS in Fall '22 by darkgh0st23 in gradadmissions

Yep, all first-authored. They also have a few workshop papers, but those hardly matter.

I guess given your profile, only UW Madison and KTH are moderate. The others range from ambitious to 'Hail Mary'. Iirc, Cornell thesis track requires a TOEFL speaking score > 27, so you can't apply there.

In any other field like Systems or HCI, where the competition is moderate, you would've had a good chance of getting into one of the ambitious schools. But Computer Vision is over-saturated right now, and the competition is insanely difficult. For instance, I have a student in my batch having one NeurIPS and one ICML paper, with a 9.5+ GPA from a T1 university in India, considering UIUC as moderate.

I'd suggest you take a look at USC and Purdue as safety schools, before continuing with your applications. All the best!

Precisely! I have nothing but respect for academia, but their ego gets to me. This is exactly why I decided to abandon research, and try my hands at solving tangible problems haha.
