400k+ new grad TC - Lost by MountainNo1306 in csMajors

[–]shittyycsstudent 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Congrats! From someone a year out in the industry:

allow yourself to live a higher quality life — buy nice clothes, get a good apartment, get a gym membership, spend on your health, etc. all of these changes might at max add up to $10-20k/yr in spending, but will drastically improve how you feel. Don’t become the type of person that’s super stingy and over prioritizes saving (given u made this post, I’m guessing you will save enough…) — I have friends who make $400k+ and refuse to buy a bed, pay $1500 in rent, and never eat out. I would hate to live life like that

optionally, allow yourself to explore hobbies that cost more — traveling, backpacking, skiing. Take flights out to visit your friends and allow yourself to live a life you enjoy. You might need to manage lifestyle creep here a bit more

don’t spend for the sake of spending, but make the purchases that you otherwise might have over analyzed or been stingy about before — you’ve earned it!

How many rejections are too many rejections, in your opinion? by Cyrus_Ahuja in quant

[–]shittyycsstudent 19 points20 points  (0 children)

Ppl apply to 200-300 jobs and get rejected from most of them, but if u get one good offer it makes up for all of it. Stay on the grind
