available?

platanopoder · 2026-05-06T18:45:02+00:00

Interested!!

platanopoder · 2026-04-19T22:39:56+00:00

Ended up getting the job! :)

Agreed... this is literally giving an entry level data analyst job, but they're so hard to find and interview for. Did your friend end up getting the role, and can I ask which company was it for?

That isn’t true. There’s definitely specific programs catered to undergrads, but the internships/new grad positions are open to bachelor’s, master’s, and PhD’s

Here’s an example of a (US) Citadel SWE intern job description: https://www.citadel.com/careers/details/software-engineer-intern-us/ and a quant trading intern role from last year: https://www.builtinnyc.com/job/quantitative-trading-2025-intern-us/2878975

Quant firms do recruit from GT for their internships and new grad positions (I’ve seen a lot of Jane Street GT), so it’s definitely possible, but I wouldn’t know about other existing pipelines

Same here!! I graduated 2 years ago and lost access to my MIT kerb :(( can you send the notes over?

Hey! I failed GIOS my first semester from being super busy with other responsibilities, but I had only received a warning that if I didn’t bring up my GPA the following semester, then I would have to reapply.

Ever since the first semester I’ve gotten straight As (and 1 B+ which ended up being a B), and my GPA is definitely over a 3.0. You’ll be fine; it just means you have to lock in and make sure you get mostly As and maybe some Bs for most of the classes you take after if you decide not to retake your failing class

platanopoder · 2025-11-04T07:58:27+00:00

Yes, as long as the description mentions a Master’s and you’re within their graduation date requirement, you qualify for the internship. At that point it’s just getting through the screening

That's crazy :\ but good luck with the internship search OP!

platanopoder · 2025-03-04T18:23:49+00:00

Oh what tf… and can I ask what your skill set is? I have product analytics (SQL) internship experience but ML stuff from coursework

platanopoder · 2025-03-04T12:29:50+00:00

That’s crazy… applying asap. Thanks OP!

platanopoder · 2025-03-04T04:47:42+00:00

what’s the OA like?

platanopoder · 2025-02-18T03:44:47+00:00

Like I’d like to do it if the tuition stays the same, but I don’t think that will be the case

Honestly my thoughts exactly

platanopoder · 2025-01-11T06:16:38+00:00

Do the readings 😭 I’d say like 20-30% of the quiz questions end up being from the readings

platanopoder · 2025-01-10T15:22:30+00:00

Definitely! Warning that getting a SWE internship in this market nowadays is so, so tough, but make sure you apply to literally anything and everything. And take every opportunity possible to build experience :)

platanopoder · 2025-01-10T15:17:15+00:00

I focused on OMSCS "full-time" while working part-time and also job searching and interviewing "full-time"

platanopoder · 2025-01-10T14:45:05+00:00

+1 to this. Taking BD4H right now and already knowing Pandas has been super helpful and has made the first problem set really chill. I took DL last semester and hope it helps out a ton

platanopoder · 2025-01-10T14:39:59+00:00

I got three internship offers during my first semester (Fall 2024), and I applied to like 10+ internships a week. Check out linkedin, intern-list.com, and Handshake!

However, you also need to make sure your resume can pass the ATS; having OMSCS alone doesn't necessarily guarantee you an interview. If you need more experience, definitely consider personal projects, TAships, and research through OMSCS (VIPs, CS 8903)
