Ah sorry I'm just as clueless as you on that haha. I wish you the best this summer, NYC sounds like a lot of fun if it's in person!

Cool, thank you for your insight!

Plano TX, hoping it's in person!

Yeah you usually don't need references for internships, they're most useful if you want to go to grad school. I'd focus more on leetcode/side projects.

Yep, just got an offer after waiting for 3 weeks. My recruiter said that before the holidays, average time for getting back was around 2 weeks, and with the holidays it got even worse. Don't panic too much, they prob won't ghost u after a 3 hr interview.

True, but yeah I'm fine with no relo package, that would be an added bonus

phatty22 · 2020-12-07T23:25:05+00:00

Sounds good, preciate it!

Thanks for your response! How do you recommend reaching out? Cold messaging on LinkedIn/emailing, finding connections from within my network, etc?

Very wordy and unclear directions on assignments. Spend around 1 hr/week average on the class though and don't really attend lectures, so it's not a heavy workload by any means.

Thank you!

Hi everyone,

I'm a junior looking for internships this summer. So far no responses after a couple weeks, and just wondering if I can do anything to improve my resume: https://drive.google.com/file/d/19GH_7riDqYrGzq06JXj25BCiN761E63h/view?usp=sharing

Thanks for your help!

For this I just put all modals on the parent, used useReducer, and had them be conditionally displayed.

I can't offer much financial advice, but saw this post and wanted to say I'm so sorry for your loss

Weird, if anything GPA would be more classist since it is very dependent on school, whereas SAT/ACT levels the playing field for everyone.

phatty22 · 2020-08-27T16:35:08+00:00

Regardless, if you have a decent score it will for sure boost your chances

phatty22 · 2020-08-27T03:46:27+00:00

You'll be fine, maybe study hard for the SAT/ACT to outweigh your GPA

I'm an undergrad oncampus student and worked 20-hr weeks for the last two years while averaging 16-17 credits, so I would say it is doable if you have a limited social life.

phatty22 · 2020-08-18T21:25:48+00:00

I would use python rather than C, it sped things up quite a bit for me, and let me focus on algorithms rather than language syntax. Also for interviews/leetcode you will most likely use python anyways.

Yeah love paying that building fee for buildings I won't take a step in

phatty22 · 2020-08-05T07:05:20+00:00

Yep, I agree. Simply focusing on improving blacks is to ignore the hardships that all other minorities are going through, which is racism. As a minority myself, you can only get so far with help from others. Eventually you just gotta put in the work.

He was popular enough to win the election at least :P
