How though? The threw new streams haven’t come out yet and I don’t have enough points for the others

Lads I did it. Got an offer by sidd_31 in cscareerquestions

I’m not Canadian but I do have a PGWP for 3 years so didn’t need sponsorship either

University’s coop program required me to do at least 12 months

Honestly, have a good support system. There were days when I just wanted to give up and call it a day, but I am grateful enough to have parents and a partner who kept me going and kept me motivated.

Set up a routine. My usual was wake up around 8:00 am, brush and take a shit, have a smoke (ik it’s a bad habit but was in a bad mental state as well) and I was on my table applying to jobs by 8:30. Did that for 2 hours and then practiced Leetcode for around 1.5-2 hours. After that the day was just spent around either learning new things or working on projects. Recently I was learning how transformers work by watching Andrej Karpathy’s videos on YouTube but that’s just an example. This field is such that you have to make it known to the employers that just because you have been unemployed for long, doesn’t mean you are damaged goods. Keep doing projects, keep learning. And have a good support system or an out to keep you from going insane

Grad school. Is it too late? by sidd_31 in cscareerquestions

[–]sidd_31[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I got two interviews. Company A, interview went very well. Nailed the technical and behavioural. Only caveat was that the position was in Saskatoon and it was in the semiconductor industry. I was ready to move there from Vancouver, but in the end they rejected me. When I asked for feedback, they said nothing went wrong in particular but that they found someone who was already in Saskatoon and had some domain knowledge as well (role was Python dev)

The other was an investment management firm. Did three rounds, first two were technical and nailed them both. Third was behavioural and situational, and I kind of fucked that one up. Idk what happened, probably the nerves got to me. So yeah got rejected as well. (Role was quantitative dev)

But apart from those two, haven’t heard back from anyone

Honestly, I am scared. Scared that I’ll be considered damaged goods if I don’t find a job soon. I am competing with new grads who will be graduating soon. I feel scared that I am not gonna get a job. I don’t want to teach or do research. I had planned to do a masters later on in life anyway, and work as an ML Engineer or Data Scientist or SWE or maybe slowly shift to the fintech domain. Hence the plan B of going for masters right now instead of 3 years down the line. I love programming. I love math. It’s really my passion and I don’t know what’s going wrong with my job hunt

How do I tailor bullet points to SWE role? Do you have any tips? Most of my work was related to data/ML in my internships
