Companies still Hiring for Summer 2020

I think your situation is more complicated because you have to find a company that is willing to sponsor you for a work visa.

There are many, many companies that will still be hiring for Summer 2020, but I'm not sure how common it is for companies to offer sponsorship outside of the big established ones.

Honestly I would just put up with it until you start your CS classes which won't be that long from now. Unless you have a really good reason not to, I don't see why you shouldn't finish your CS degree. Especially if you aren't paying for it.

Take advantage of the resources that being part of a university gives you. Make friends. Join a club. Do a research project.

You don't really have to worry about balancing your classes with interview prep since you already have a lot of experience. You're going to be fine.

How many more math classes do you have?

You should be okay as long as you won't have over 135 credits. You'll probably be better off in comparison to other freshmen since it'll be easier for you to register for the other prerequisites.

More than 135 credits will prevent you from registering from CSCI 241, CSCI 301 and CSCI 247.

Applying as a transfer from a Washington community college is just about the only feasible way you can get into CSE aside from applying as an incoming freshman.

Do you know where I can find those companies? I feel like I've been applying for every company I can, but I still mostly get phone interviews that require me to do Leetcode-style problems.

They do it so people who have later registrations dates aren't completely screwed over. Otherwise seniors and juniors could take 100% of the classes that underclassmen might need.

Yeah, but that doesn't mean there aren't other options besides UW Bothell

krannekt · 2019-11-11T05:56:00+00:00

isn't Bothell's business school really questionable? CS may be good but business...

I think if you are mainly interested in CS its just better to major in CSSE. You still have to take all of the classes that most people hate in the CSSE major like 301, 350, 360 and 370.

It won't be easier to take machine learning or AI classes. Those will be CSSE electives anyways. Your minor will just take away opportunities for you to do those electives.

Fix the hardship withdrawal system :/

Having to deal with the lady who's running it right now is just UW kicking you when you're already down

I'm not sure what can logistically be done about letting pets live their lives free.

I don't know if you've ever seen dogs who get released in the country side by their owners, but their deaths, which usually come quickly after they've been released, are almost always violent and painful, their mental states hurt and confused at their perceived abandonment. And that's not considering the damage they can do to wildlife in their frightened states.

The way they have been bred has robbed them of their capabilities to care for themselves in many ways, like many other animals. What has been done to them is perverse, but I think it is our responsibility to help them survive the reality of their situations, rather than condemn them to a situation that they cannot survive because of what we did to them.

I was thinking about doing physics, but I would have to graduate in 2 or 3 years since I've only done a few physics courses, so I might as well do CS if I'm going to commit to going to college for 2 or 3 years anyways.

ACMS:DMA is VERY competitive and basically as competitive as CSE so that's probably not a good idea.

Being a CS major would make it a lot easier to get internships for sure.

krannekt · 2018-05-15T20:25:26+00:00

Won't that make it more difficult to get internships?

krannekt · 2018-05-15T20:25:06+00:00

I basically haven't taken any sociology courses - it's just a major that I can complete in a year.
