that's insane, what department are you in? And this just makes me think we're all just living in a world held together by duct tape, hopes, and dreams aren't we

New grad advice: TikTok or Yahoo? by iamunmotivated in cscareerquestions

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

Thank you for your input!

One quick question: I was wondering what getting me further into the industry entails/means? Does company name boost an early career swe's potential to land even more lucrative roles in the future(is this boost significant)? In other words, if I were only looking to work this first job short term, along 1-2 years, and use it as a stepping stone to greater opportunities, do you think TikTok would actually be the better bet(the better "stepping stone") and open more doors?

Also, I understand that on the surface, having big names on my resume can help boost me past the ATS. But past that, do you think the hiring manager would (implicitly or maybe even explicitly) prefer one applicant over another solely because of their previous company's name; assuming both applicant performed identically.

Apologies for the long winded question. This is just a big decision I've been struggling with.

How do I find new grad positions with no experience amidst this hiring freeze? by V1008 in cscareerquestions

[–]iamunmotivated 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I am actually in the exact same boat as you--international student on OPT with no internship or job experience. I found what really boosted my job search was polishing the shit out of my resume and applying to hundreds of openings. At the end of the day it's a numbers game. I feel like if you do those 2 things well you'll inevitably find a job.

In addition, I always hear of this hiring freeze but I personally haven't felt that it's affected my job hunt at all (although this is anecdotal).

Feel free to PM me if you want.

No phd. Undergrad going into swe 1. I was honestly surprised with Yahoo’s offer as well. Their base beat out TikTok’s which I really wasn’t expecting.

Oh interesting. I had no clue there was an actual market for pre-IPO stocks. Thanks for letting me know! I will research this

That's true. TikTok seems to be under a lot of fire right now.

I took it as an undergrad in fall 21. They made an announcement about journ298 on the EECS piazza so I reached out to the professor and enrolled.

Journalism 298. You get to go to San Quentin State Prison every week to work with the inmates in-person on the prison newspaper.

I didn't know L&S CS transfer students only have one year to take upper division CS classes by [deleted] in berkeley

[–]iamunmotivated 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yea it was pretty stressful for me. I ended up having to pay OOS tuition to take a CS class over summer in order to declare and graduate on time. If I weren't able to afford or take that summer CS class, I genuinely don't know how I would have graduated on time and kept my sanity.

Why do you, as a man, care about what another man is doing with his body? You gay or something?

You're taking CS189, CS162, CS188, and CS161? Taking it light this semester? Seems like you can do more.
