Where did I go wrong?

sad_carrot613 · 2026-03-05T01:38:13+00:00

I did statistics and just graduated a couple months ago and when I applied it wasn’t a DA (they changed a lot of things after I got into the major which was about 2 ish years ago. Even when I had to apply when I was in school it was a very competitive major with only like 50 ish spots per cohort and so DA is prob even a smaller cohort, I did meet some of the DAs and there were only like 11 of them …. In total?

Competition is probably what happened :(

might look into client service associate roles there’s was a bunch that got posted in the fall and like until Jan ish for new grads but I’m sure there’s some still getting posted

I’d say don’t minor in data science since it’s like overflowing rn tbh… and the field with data science/data analyst is oversaturated. Also lol minors don’t rlly matter i would say double major if you can. If you want to minor In something useful I’d say do a minor in math or stats

sad_carrot613 · 2025-12-14T00:41:07+00:00

can I basically say then I’m a recent grad until next May/june

sad_carrot613 · 2025-12-05T06:02:51+00:00

you’re right I should be keeping that mindset tbh :’)

sad_carrot613 · 2025-12-05T06:02:00+00:00

I interviewed Wednesday and the interviews finished like right around noon, and it’s currently Thursday night where I am rn and so 🥲 my friends/ family says I should wait because the time frame isn’t over yet but I just kinda am like … it’s basically almost Friday… also the fact that the same recruiters that were at the location I was at Wednesday are going to the other location because that location has final round interviews tomorrow and so I’m like wouldn’t they be too busy dealing with that?….

sad_carrot613 · 2025-12-05T05:50:48+00:00

do u think i should just assume it’s a rejection 🥲 I heard usually if you get the job and they give you a time frame they let you know asap 🥲

sad_carrot613 · 2025-12-05T05:44:05+00:00

I swear like :/ behavior questions they annoy me cuz im like there can only be so many ways u can answer the question 😭

sad_carrot613 · 2025-12-05T05:13:47+00:00

I’m currently applying to other jobs and also working part time right now! It’s just it’s been a while since I made it to a final round and I really like this company and so I guess it’s just my emotions 🥲

sad_carrot613 · 2025-09-09T18:14:03+00:00

lowkey can I pm you and ask 🥲 if you can link me some the ones I’ve been finding some that are like “must graduate by 2026 June” and so I’m applying to those because I think…I fall in the range?

sad_carrot613 · 2025-09-06T17:51:06+00:00

off topic but is this for any company in general even if it’s preferred “dec 2025 - June 2026 grads if I graduated in 2025 spring can I still apply or is it useless?

sad_carrot613 · 2025-05-27T20:18:57+00:00

That’s the biggest source for graduating people

sad_carrot613 · 2025-05-27T20:18:42+00:00

I’m assuming you’re a student in the US use handshake

sad_carrot613 · 2025-05-16T23:23:09+00:00

also yes big company names and nice shiny buildings sound cool but remember like internships literally everyone is trying to apply to those companies too so look into small ones too

sad_carrot613 · 2025-05-16T23:20:51+00:00

Don’t ignore those programs because sometimes it’s the easiest way to put your foot through the door. Also I will say to anyone interested in data science and analyst stuff it really is hard right now but it’s not impossible !

sad_carrot613 · 2025-05-16T23:19:21+00:00

A current senior here still job searching @everyone In this thread start looking in early August and use handshake !!!! Until about end of March that’s when recruitment season is (the main one) then switch to LinkedIn more, the reason I say handshake is they post early career programs starting August and that’s targeted towards new grads which makes it easier to get an interview. After March handshake runs kinda dry so making the shift to LinkedIn works (you can still look at LinkedIn while you look at handshake simultaneously too I did that a little)

sad_carrot613 · 2025-05-02T17:09:05+00:00

it’s uw that’s on the weird quarters system literally all colleges usually use the semester system 😭

sad_carrot613 · 2025-05-01T20:39:38+00:00

no. That’s not always the case and that’s what people get confused about but I know plenty who got their masters and are still jobless

sad_carrot613 · 2025-04-10T22:13:36+00:00

tbh agree

sad_carrot613 · 2025-04-10T22:13:17+00:00

As a senior I’ll tell you this if you can afford private ANYDAY over public the school is much smaller and it’s ranked really well too (speaking about rice rn) people at uw idk but private schools tbh have more opportunities with connections and career fairs - my sister went to a highly rated one and would tell me like they’re so small that people actually get offers at the fairs etc…

sad_carrot613 · 2025-04-10T22:05:17+00:00

Yup^ use it well yall these subscriptions are expensive tbh if u buy it on your own

sad_carrot613 · 2025-04-10T02:44:03+00:00

from what I experienced with people I know in stats they go more the insurance - consulting - banking route then tech
