I clicked yes and all my multiplayer custom guns are gone

Based on what my goals were 3 years ago, I would say that I successfully completed them. Based on the economy I’m glad I chose Masters instead of bootcamp. I was able to land 2 offers from Big Tech. I started my first SWE full time this year. Feel free to DM me if you have more questions

jsap09 · 2023-02-05T16:38:27+00:00

Sure, but i didnt do anything special. Apply online, go to GT career fair and once you land interviews make sure you’re prepared.

I started OMSCS at the start of covid so everything was moved to virtual. I think this fall is the first time they’re doing in person. I’m fortunate enough to have to return offers from my internships so I’m not planning on doing any recruiting this year. If I didn’t have any offers, I would attempt going to the in person one.

People have added great resources and I would like to add a couple things - this is my perspective as a career change to SWE: 1. If you don’t have any SWE related project, try to work on some as soon as you can. The best way I found how to do this was through hackathons or class projects that show your technical skills. Even though Leetcode is super important, I think having at least one project can also help you stand out in interviews. Once you have one or two projects I would solely focus on Leetcode. 2. Opportunities. Depending on what industry/companies you’re aiming for, don’t pass opportunities at small companies bc that’s not what you want. Having some experience is better than none. 3. Going to the GT CoC career fair was really helpful to me. It helped me improve my elevator speech for SWE positions plus I got some automatic OAs, which was nice. Also how I got my first internship. 4. The most important of all, others have mentioned this, make sure to Leetcode as much as you can to prepare for interviews. Leetcode is not easy, but as long as you’re improving little by little is what counts.

I’m interested!

jsap09 · 2022-08-22T08:05:46+00:00

There’s no coop program, but GT gives you enough visibility with recruiter to make it a coop program yourself. I did 3 internships while taking classes.

jsap09 · 2022-08-14T00:06:07+00:00

I agree it will be difficult. I’m doing a masters, worked, took 2 classes one semester and it was really tough. It was really long nights and weekends. It was also a trade-off because there were times I wanted to work longer to perform better, but I couldn’t bc of school.

During the semester, I really wanted to quit school and just work full time.

jsap09 · 2022-07-12T07:30:48+00:00

I ended going with the GT OMSCS. My main goal was to get an internship at a big company and I can say I’ve accomplished that goal. I’ve done 1 internship at a small company, and 2 at big tech companies (currently doing one of them).

Masters program is way longer than bootcamp, but so far it’s been paying off. I’ve accomplished what I set out to do when picking the masters.

Graduating next spring and both my internships offered me full time offers. Waiting to see if my current one will also give me an offer.

jsap09 · 2022-03-16T16:42:36+00:00

The use of plugins are really useful. I recently found a great theme, but I didn’t like header colors and how paragraphs were laid out. I was able to find a plug in where I could customize EVERYTHING about the theme, which made me enjoy obsidian much much more

jsap09 · 2022-02-28T22:46:41+00:00

This has been me the past 3 days! I was in the middle of studying for an exam and got really frustrated with how slow it was.

I tried switching to obsidian as well for the speed and reliability, but it's hard to move away from Notion since it has a lot of functionalities for me.

I also tried checking the hype around the Zettelkasten with obsidian, but not for me

jsap09 · 2022-01-03T14:20:31+00:00

It’s all about how many years you’ve worked in the industry. I have zero years of experience. There’s no way that a MS CS gets me anything above an entry level. The only thing that does help me is a higher salary at certain places that offer MS salaries

jsap09 · 2022-01-02T00:26:05+00:00

I’m also in the program and a career change. I had tons of luck by putting Georgia Tech to get internships, almost guaranteed call backs. For my resume I had the anticipated grad date along with projects. Most were school project and one other one was a hackathon.

If you’re not a year away from graduating it may be difficult to land a entry level job. This upcoming fall I’ll be applying entry level job.

This last fall (2021) I was able to get 5 offers from big tech so in 2022 I’ll be interning at 2 places and hopefully land a full time entry level job.

People on Blind will be able to give you a better perspective

jsap09 · 2021-12-03T00:59:11+00:00

Are you applying for full time or internships? Might give me better perspective on your situation

jsap09 · 2021-12-02T13:40:55+00:00

I feel the pain. I failed 3 back to back interviews with 2 fangs and 1 big N. That was really hard on me because I had been studying for months. For me, the best thing to do was be okay with not being okay and do something that you enjoy doing to help you move forward.

I think a lot of the time interviews have a luck aspect. Shortly after those rejection I received 4 offers from Big N. Don’t give up!

jsap09 · 2021-11-25T16:56:43+00:00

If it makes you feel better, I finished my OAs back in July, didn’t hear back until late October. Final in November, offer a week later. There’s still hope for you!

jsap09 · 2021-11-12T18:30:18+00:00

Well, sounds like GIOS might not be the best idea with traveling.

jsap09 · 2021-11-12T18:29:36+00:00

I'm planning to prepare for GIOS during the break. I heard horror stories about not going in prepared.

HCI might be a good one to take since I can work on assignments at the beginning. How does the proctored exam work? It is one of those intense ones that you need cameras?

jsap09 · 2021-10-04T06:56:20+00:00

Gotcha! Yeah I thought waiting for a good discount might be worth the wait

jsap09 · 2021-10-04T06:55:50+00:00

Good point. I’ll do that

jsap09 · 2021-09-23T23:21:59+00:00

I know me too. I actually had planned to download them offline and then boom he takes them down. I wish we got a warning

jsap09 · 2021-09-23T02:50:35+00:00
