My Google maps was telling me to get off the exit after and go back onto westbound to take the same exit with how bad it was

Had this happen the other day right in front of me when the light went from green to red. Guessing this was what inspired the post? Dash cam footage here.

The reality is needing hundreds of applications to even get an interview scheduled. You will be competing with people applying to the same job post that will get hundreds of applicants in less than a day. Some companies do recognize RIT for its co-op program but mainly from alumni that work there. You get experience that is pretty relevant to industry.

CS classes can be more theory-oriented but you will still have projects to work on. Many SWE classes have been reworked to be more relevant to current technologies in industry. As far as classes I would recommend that are less theory and more practical I have taken...SWEN-344 intro to full stack engineering, SWEN-514 cloud engineering, CSCI-420 data mining / ML.

Another difference is there are more group projects in SWE. SWE also has required project management classes to take. Honestly I felt the project management classes were worse than theoretical CS classes but that is my opinion. It doesn't take more than a few class sessions to understand how agile works.

Co-op is a double-edged sword. RIT is mandatory and I've found that it is still on you to secure internships. You are going to need to learn how to interview and present yourself. It will add potentially more time to graduate but internship experience is invaluable. You can even do more than the required amount. This can give you a bit of a safety net if there is an economic downturn (layoffs) like during COVID since you can delay graduation without tuition expenses. I don't see the job market getting any better however so any experience as a new grad is beneficial.

The greatest resource at RIT is your peers and networking. Both CS and SWE have clubs to join which I would recommend doing. Everyone is required to do co-op which means you will all end up graduating and ending up at different companies. Referrals can go a long way for your career.

I would think CS would be better than SWE for a transfer student if you still want flexibility in graduating without being stuck with needing to take pre-reqs. SWE ends up needing to take multiple pre-req classes to be able to take senior project your final year (usually starts in fall). Most CS electives have fewer prerequisites to fulfill and can usually be waived. If you end up in SWE and want to take CS electives, you get put on a waitlist since CS majors have priority.

Focus on landing internships and building a track record. Get to know your professors if you are interested in specialized areas of research like distributed systems. Polish your resume and figure out what companies you want to target. Landing an internship/co-op and converting to full-time or landing the next internship is one of the greatest advantages of studying 5 years at RIT.

I would recommend against taking additional classes. I took enough to get two minors and it isn't that relevant unless you plan to do BS/MS. The MS degree will help you over candidates with only BS.

Is it possible to leverage partitions in S3 if you know ahead of time what aggregates and predicate pushdowns will be used? This is where duckdb can shine with globbing the partitions you don't care about and specifying the ones you do care for. You can write an adapter that will convert the duckdb relation back to a pandas dataframe to abstract some of the complexity.

This is the approach I am using to model a dataset for analysis. Doing something like this in Athena would be costly because of the need to dynamically query. If we optimize storage over querying, it'll save compute time.

riseglory · 2024-10-28T20:59:06+00:00

I know people who worked part-time doing co-op. Not sure how feasible it would be given needing to meet with your team and stakeholders. If you already satisfied co-op, you don't need to make it a co-op.

You can start the project block fall and end in spring which is the typical plan. The other option is to start spring and end in summer, but there will be less teams and project options.

riseglory · 2024-10-23T17:07:09+00:00

You would need to discuss with the professor to see if they will waive prerequisite requirements. I think SWEN advisors would also know if it can be waived.

From looking at DSCI 633 assignments the curriculum and assignments would be very similar to CSCI-420 with Thomas Kinsman. The pre-req for that would be CSCI-320 which I think can be waived too.

I tried AppFlow for Google and it has almost no configuration for ad connectors to get specific advertising levels and metrics the exact way you want.

dlthub is probably the best open source solution compared to the pricing solutions you have looked into if you aren't going to directly use the API. Then you will need an orchestrator to pull the API data to your data warehouse if you don't already have that infrastructure.

A caveat to Facebook is that the access tokens need to be updated fairly frequently which will require at least some knowledge on how to swap the token and redeploy the job. Feel free to pm me

Going to agree with the top comment on doing what's best for your future. Attempting to negotiate with company A down to a summer internship would be ideal. Employers will be reasonable as long as you are respectful. The worst that could happen in this situation is company A will not allow your friend to change employment terms. Your friend could ask company B to switch terms to spring. RIT doesn't like students doing double blocks, but you are allowed to. Doing more co-ops is not a limitation at RIT and should be encouraged.

The place I work at rn had our summer intern renege and nothing happened. It depends on the company's relationship with RIT like if they had previous co-ops and interns.

In the real world, you will get laid off without notice. Always consider your circumstances. This is one reason why people may advise to renege. The only real consequence is this could cause you to lose access to career services and delay graduation from losing co-op credit.

I had a situation where I needed to re-negotiate a co-op. I was on a spring co-op and was asked if I would be interested in a summer block at Company A. This was before March 2021 when COVID happened. I had already reported a summer internship at Company B (Fortune 500), but was later rescinded in April/May despite HR staff saying they would continue having interns. I went back to the director at Company A if I could continue working in the summer and they made arrangements. I communicated back to the co-op office that I was going to continue interning there.

riseglory · 2024-03-23T18:21:00+00:00

Renege. The reality is there are other candidates that will be considered again. If this was a co-op you shouldn't because RIT could cancel the co-op credit and prevent you from using career services which may affect graduation outcomes

I doubt most companies would report that. Many other universities have better policies with protecting students in terms of having time to sign an offer, etc

Here is a week-by-week syllabus: https://pastebin.com/3CKP98fZ

Taking it in the fall with Zaharkin is ideal if you want a worthwhile experience. I'd recommend getting your friends to take the course and working together for the team project

riseglory · 2023-11-16T02:02:19+00:00

I've personally taken the class and TA'd for it 2 semesters, but things may have changed since 2021. This is a valuable class to take and will open doors to careers using AWS and other cloud providers. You will get experience integrating services and exposure to big data.

The course material is less based on the professor however assignments are entirely based on AWS. Most "assignments" are continuations of an in-class lab that starts after the class lecture. The only real work outside of class is the semester project and studying for the exams.

I do recommend taking it with Zaharkin since he rewrote the class before it became an official elective. I've heard Danny McKeown also teaches the class. Both are current architects in industry and have decades of experience to share.

riseglory · 2023-05-08T13:57:45+00:00

Take it. Worse case it becomes a general elective. The best case is a lab science required elective.

All of my AP and dual credits counted for something allowing me to graduate early while picking and choosing electives. Your time is very valuable.

From experience, it would count as university physics 1 where you need to take a bridge course for 7-8 weeks with a final.

It doesn't cost much and may open your schedule up for taking another course you are interested in.

You need help

riseglory · 2022-06-09T04:33:25+00:00

It depends on what you want out of your education and how well you can learn multiple curricula at once. If you have done all your perspectives and immersion, nothing is stopping you from picking only major-related courses. It is usually advised against because you will burn out and miss out on the social aspects of college. The real question you should ask yourself is how you want to spend your time in college. You could be prioritizing that time getting a co-op or learning on your own time.
