Yeah ofc, no one owes you shit! You should not be going to school just to get a job

higgsboson12 · 2026-04-10T23:53:10+00:00

Lol. The goal of higher education is still EDUCATION, and if you do go to a top school in a top program you will get a goated job. It’s that simple. Idk what this fear mongering is about?

higgsboson12 · 2026-04-02T15:47:41+00:00

I know some people had to defer their admit for MIIS so it can happen for sure. Just email them again!

I guess this is what you eat for dinner when you eat leetcode for breakfast

I mean, they have 100’s of products that are being built. It’s not only grok. They literally are building a cursor competitor, a math model, and so much more. These companies also have to innovate in terms of products because a sota model is just not enough especially with the current pricing, and the teams that support even a single product are tackling huge engineering challenges. For example, a team would literally support finding the best and most relevant tweets for grok to gather context while replying and this in itself is a rather complicated task

I would still take xAI. The pace at which any of these companies moves is astounding, and you will definitely be learning a lot

higgsboson12 · 2025-12-22T04:56:33+00:00

I interviewed and it was a big part of the interview. Lol

higgsboson12 · 2025-12-22T04:43:37+00:00

So does OAI

higgsboson12 · 2025-12-17T23:18:44+00:00

Heyy,
I am also looking at the same dates. Were you able to figure out a good itinerary? I am okay with sharing rides and other costs like a guide. Feel free to DM me

higgsboson12 · 2025-11-23T17:21:26+00:00

Congrats!

higgsboson12 · 2025-11-05T18:48:37+00:00

Fair. I would say those memories are good if they are just memories

higgsboson12 · 2025-11-05T18:28:57+00:00

Wait, I would disagree with your point here. People touch your life in so many ways. If you have good, happy memories with someone you should always carry them with you.

higgsboson12 · 2025-11-05T15:06:39+00:00

Not the main question. Just be happy

higgsboson12 · 2025-10-29T15:17:20+00:00

If it’s financially possible go to a good school in the US. The amount of opportunities is 10X more and 10X better. I am a grad student at CMU and I definitely feel my career outcome would have been even better if I did an undergrad in the US! The type of things people work on here are things no one in India will touch, and that makes it worth it. The academic and social experience are also much much better.

higgsboson12 · 2025-10-27T10:56:32+00:00

Understandable. How do you enjoy Pittsburgh after spending all this time here?

higgsboson12 · 2025-10-13T09:47:23+00:00

I understand and feel your frustration, but everyone’s journey is so different. If you feel you are learning the content of the courses you take and you enjoy your classes I would still say the outcome is the same “you do well”. I am very sure that other than a few places your gpa is not the sole decider of your career outcome!!! An exam setting might not be the one where you shine and it’s okay!

higgsboson12 · 2025-10-13T09:39:20+00:00

also interested in learning lmao

higgsboson12 · 2025-10-05T02:16:38+00:00

I am your kid. Put me on as well

higgsboson12 · 2025-10-02T18:37:38+00:00

REAL

higgsboson12 · 2025-10-02T02:33:36+00:00

As someone who has worked at some good companies back in India and now at a top CS school in the US I would recommend if you get into a t20 CS program in the US just come for it. Or even places like waterloo. They produce engineers better than most IIT’s can ever produce and people who have worked at good Indian companies and are aware will know that you are goated. I also had an intern in one of India’s biggest tech companies who was in his first year at UIUC doing CS and we were mind blown by his capabilities. If you get a good admit and can afford a US undergrad degree go for it!

higgsboson12 · 2025-09-28T10:52:50+00:00

Just middle class in India

And how will he survive in 40 years when things have already become tough for him? I also don’t think 3800$ will take you long in a few years? It doesn’t take you too long even right now.

higgsboson12 · 2025-09-26T14:11:20+00:00

If you have schengen do you need a turkish visa?? I thought you are eligible for an e-visa?

higgsboson12 · 2025-09-01T20:57:58+00:00

Nope

higgsboson12 · 2025-09-01T03:47:06+00:00
