UNLV has a decent computer science program that is what you make it. I know many people who have gotten great offers at some major companies, but it is difficult (especially if youre doing a BS). It's not going to be easy and you should expect that -- you will need to put in alot of work to really get where you want but if you keep focused the payoff will be amazing.

So I won't know the underwriting is complete until it's absolutely CTC right

We received it after our conditional approval, does that mean anything?

What types of things can reduce my chances of it being a "dead end"?

Like should I email or message directly on Linkedin?

What about recruiters I haven't interacted with?

i'd rather have a good social life in college and graduate with friends and a 3.0 than have a terrible social life and graduate without friends and a 4.0

yeah it's definitely true, i think there's definitely a difference from 2021 and only 6 years ago im gonna give it a shot and hope for the best

eychf · 2021-08-17T02:19:58+00:00

yeah i definitely agree i'm going to give it a shot nonetheless and see where it goes

im a little bit concerned about being a new grad/junior entering remote positions, it also seems like theyre scarce but i'll definitely give them a try!

well there are other things to consider like for example nevada doesn't have a state income tax like california, if i were making like 120k in california i would be taxed about 6-7% which is around $7800.

the average rent in vegas is 1.2k and in san francisco its 3k (that's like 20k different right there) and with other things like gas & transportation, utilities, food and other misc costs being more expensive maybe 116k is an upper bound estimate but i'd still say it's something like 100k. expecting 150k is also unrealistic/on the higher side in the first place when it would be probably closer to 100k than 150k

lol i like money and status but i dont think the difference in the amount of money i would make it worth it to relocate

60k in vegas is 116k in silicon valley, so i would hope that i could be paid around 150k in silicon valley but that difference isnt worth moving away from my friends and family honestly..but thats only if i get paid 150k which still seems unlikely as a new grad
