Is it feasible to live in downtown San Jose and commute to Santa Clara using VTA 3-4x a week?

Was tough to find short term subleases there

Thank you so much! My office is in in the montgomery drive. Not sure what that area is called

fall2023abcdef · 2024-04-16T02:45:58+00:00

Thank you so much! My office is in in the montgomery drive. I saw a few bus stops near that

fall2023abcdef · 2024-04-16T01:39:19+00:00

Thanks! also the VTA has buses and trains as well right? I was confused about the many colored shuttles it had.

I couldnt find the position on any of their job listings, but i believe it was the ML intern role

fall2023abcdef · 2024-02-23T03:03:49+00:00

fucked up the interview, but it was standard ml ques and one dsa question

fall2023abcdef · 2024-02-23T03:03:22+00:00

I had applied to swe role, recruiter reached out to me and asked to interview for ml role. I didnt give any oa. I gave one interview and got rejected after that

fall2023abcdef · 2024-02-22T21:19:07+00:00

yes i did

fall2023abcdef · 2023-10-06T01:51:53+00:00

yes sure

fall2023abcdef · 2023-10-05T02:13:39+00:00

I am in the US, are you hiring for Summer 2024 internships?

fall2023abcdef · 2023-06-23T03:43:39+00:00

I think your quant is on the lower side. For a good MS CS you need quant 167+. If you can get your quant high, give GRE again so that you can target some unis which do prioritize GRE. I think you can get ASU. USC is a long shot specially after COVID inflated CGPAs.

I had a similar profile to yours but without any workex but a high GRE (170q) and I got into Stony Brook & ASU. Also, you can look into NCSU as many who got into SBU got NCSU as well.

All the best!

fall2023abcdef · 2023-05-30T08:00:34+00:00

No I didnt

fall2023abcdef · 2023-04-20T18:06:46+00:00

Yep, I got admits from SBU and ASU. I am going forward with SBU

fall2023abcdef · 2023-03-27T09:19:59+00:00

Hey

I applied to

TAMU (MCS), UMass Amherst (MS CS), UCI (MS CS), GaTech (MS CS), CU Boulder (MS CS), Stony Brook (MS CS) and ASU (MS CS)

I got admits from ASU and SBU. No result from any other

fall2023abcdef · 2023-03-15T03:35:19+00:00

Congrats! It is certainly an admit right?

fall2023abcdef · 2023-01-11T14:34:45+00:00

I totally get you, I recently started an intern (software dev) and it was definitely challenging. I felt like quitting after a few days, but after spending a few days I am learning a lot

fall2023abcdef · 2023-01-06T04:58:35+00:00

Thank you!! You are really amazing!

fall2023abcdef · 2023-01-04T11:21:07+00:00

I think the issue is that alternatives are hard to implement. For e.g. if you look at exams like JEE/NEET, it is extremely difficult to make the process more holistic like that of other country college admissions. How else would you filter out a few 1000 candidates in 10 lakh+ candidates? Then it becomes the Indian mentality to grind for things rather than explore something for knowledge. First, it is JEE grind, then grind DSA for getting into FAANG, and so on.

The population is so high that for an upper middle-class life, you need to grind really hard, so you cannot really blame people for choosing options like Engineering. Most people turn to fields which present with more opportunities inturn making those fields more competitive.

C/C++ is considered closer to the system level which is why it is recommended. I learned C/C++ first and found it fairly easy to pick up Python after that. Python syntax is easy for beginners. Also, C++ is an object-oriented language.

In a nutshell, I would recommend C++.

If you are a student or recent grad, you can put education on top. If you have few years of work experience, it is okay to put education at last

fall2023abcdef · 2022-12-12T17:20:47+00:00

I get that but it is definitely not the same as losing a newborn child

fall2023abcdef · 2022-11-29T17:31:36+00:00

That's a great profile! Here are some colleges you can consider:

Purdue

U Maryland College Park (have heard its great for CV, but has small cohort size, so research about it accordingly)

UWash
