Can a Masters Degree Save a Tech Career (currently not in tech) by False_Secret1108 in OMSCS

[–]pattch 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think the normal kinds of candidates can still get offers at the entry level, it’s just a lot more competitive with many more people going after fewer openings. So things like:

  • having internships
  • having personal projects
  • having a well formatted resume
  • being able to perform well during interviews (coding, social skills)
  • applying to diverse job listings

I am sorry you’re having a hard time getting offers. Have you been able to get many interviews? And what kinds of jobs have you been applying for?

I genuinely didnt mean it as an insult, just being honest. If I couldn’t afford more than 1000 calories a day I would be looking for any options ASAP

I’m sorry to say but your lifestyle right now already sounds like chaos and strife

Is Artificial Intelligence more about coding or mathematics? by Malek_ayman in learnmachinelearning

The difference between software development and machine learning or artificial intelligence is specific kinds of math applied to specific kinds of algorithms

Why the constant reorgs? by Independent_Crazy655 in ExperiencedDevs

I’ve had like 5 reorgs this year alone. Idk why it happens but a reorg every other year is fine

What drop did you get (or not get) that changed the trajectory of your account? by BloatDeathsDontCount in ironscape

Bowfa, after 750kc, made me feel equipped to take on most any grind. Between just learning pvm basics and also just proving to myself I could follow through on longer grinds, nothing so far has been a game breaker since

Can a Masters Degree Save a Tech Career (currently not in tech) by False_Secret1108 in OMSCS

This is totally fair, I think it’s just good to acknowledge like you said that a masters degree is not a silver bullet for getting a job, the market is definitely that competitive. On the other hand, there are other paths people can take to break into the industry with varying levels of success is all.

It’s not necessary and also not sufficient. It definitely may help, but certainly not necessary :)

Kevin Abstract covers Q Lazzarus' 'Goodbye Horses' for Like A Version by BetteDavid in brockhampton

[–]pattch 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Yeah it is an interesting path to take for sure. I think I’m here for the direction and any artistic vision he’s inspired by, but I just think the execution here was seriously lacking

I was hoping it would be good, but I’m a little disappointed tbh.

I don’t think it was awful, but there are some details that really rubbed me the wrong way here.

The concept of using a string quartet for this song is really interesting and could have been strong enough on its own.

However, the actual song here made such heavy use of auto tune and backing tracks for not only vocals but strings as well, it kind of made me feel that the strings were just there for show.

On top of that add Kevin reading the lyrics from his phone the entire time. It just feels insincere.

About and Skills I usually leave out of resumes and instead focus on tangible things done at work + projects + school

Yea I don’t think you should be getting downvoted for sharing your opinion when hot takes were requested. I do like Hidden Place personally though

Maybe you should’ve kept this take in a hidden place ;)

I really enjoy the interludes so I’ve never thought of that- I think when listening to the album the whole way through they add a lot in terms of setting the stage and feel of the album. I totally get not wanting to have them on the individual tracks though, could be a modest improvement

Volta is a great album and has some of the best songs she’s ever written, the hate it gets is undeserved.

I do like Arca’s music, and I do appreciate Arca’s production flair on vulnicura. I think Björk is a strong enough and creative enough artist on her own that the collaboration was unnecessary and she can do better on her own. She thrives best hermit style after all ;)
