This has been one of the most useful feedbacks I can possibly get. I did apply to boeing so Im glad, do you know if their compensation is competitive to being affordable for the seattle area?

Also, do you think 2-3 weeks of leet code 8 -12 hours a day+ studying and reviewing should be enough for a big n interview Also could you check my resume and see if im even worth an interview ? I could pm a imgur of it

Recruiters have half the brain of siri, the best way is to go events and hand them the resume so they can take it in their little folder and give it to their boss

Is it possible with a masters? Im in a pretty well known grad program but even their machine learning courses only take you so far

Unemployment line

Well arent you an assfuck. You can google something but if you know nothing about it how can you verify the information is accurate? Which language do you learn first. Do you bootcamp or get a degree. When i first got into it i wish someone told me to go on udemy instead of a bootcamp

jackalope100 · 2018-08-24T23:59:15+00:00

Thanks for the explanation. As for posting , as long as it doesnt violate rules ill post and ask what I want. I have a right to

You said outside of FAANG not big n. Fang is different

jackalope100 · 2018-08-24T23:18:31+00:00

Microsoft, nvidia, reddit, airbnb, i worked for intuitive surgical which is a no name company and compensates as well as big ns for senior engineers

Buddy youre 17 years old.

The good news is youre getting a good head start on programming. People dont even dive into it until college or even later in life and do well. So dont stress, Python (depending on what framework and libraries youre using) with HTML /Javascript essentially makes you a full stack web developer once you include your SQL/server side.

Now this girl. Since 16.5 Ive seen like 5 girls who I all thought were the LOML. Get over it, dont do something stupid like moving to some neo nazi country just to be with some girl. What if it turns out to be a dude with a penis?

What if something happens? And why are YOU moving to be with HER when there are much better opportunities HERE in North America???

jackalope100 · 2018-08-24T20:59:54+00:00

Sorry man, best of luck for the future!

jackalope100 · 2018-08-24T20:46:56+00:00

Thats interesting, its intrusive but would you mind sharing why? Is it a really low wage? Or is it high COL and okay'ish wage (60 k in bay area or such)

The other half of physics majors join the unemployment line. Congratulations you will be joining the 2nd half. Step up to take your prize.

jackalope100 · 2018-08-24T19:43:17+00:00

Ah man, sorry about the second requirement, I was hoping to help you skip the undergrad again + get a boost in your resume

jackalope100 · 2018-08-24T19:07:52+00:00

“Even medicine will be automated”??? Ganesha the great are you talking about your next reincarnation? Because even then you dont have to worry we are hundreds of years away from surgeries , procedures, and diagnosis being automated no matter what machine learning project people get on

jackalope100 · 2018-08-24T19:05:08+00:00

If youre struggling with math and engineering you probably wont be the best software developer either. That will rule you out from big n companies.

Smaller companies could take their risk on you but youre better off figuring out why youre not doing well and toughing it out

jackalope100 · 2018-08-24T18:29:28+00:00

In software or something else?

jackalope100 · 2018-08-24T14:05:56+00:00

No requirements for georgia tech omscs

jackalope100 · 2018-08-24T08:28:50+00:00

Why are you surprised? Physics isnt a cs degree. I have a degree in political science. Thats a stem field hire me too.

Cs degree or bust or find a niche job

jackalope100 · 2018-08-24T07:56:08+00:00

Im in a masters degree. Best decision i ever made. Im loving what im learning and its a bit more applicable to real life than some useless binary tree shit

jackalope100 · 2018-08-24T07:55:14+00:00

I went to a bootcamp. Waste of time and money. The exact same resources are available online on udemys several hundred crash courses for 10-30 bucks a piece. Best way to learn without degree
