'25 cycle fintech/hft swe recruiting & project ideas

[novel orbit]

where's the yap /gen

i wanna make my resume as strong as possible for this cycle

kinda need project ideas tho

i feel like my projects section is lowk lacking 😭

[regal crystal]

mayb a networking project like chat app or real time multiplayer game

[novel orbit]

real time multiplayer game might be fun

[novel orbit]

@devout gazelle yo which bullet points should i rewrite if u dont mind

i lowkey rushed some of the bps for the sections lol not sure if it looks like idk anything

[jolly oak]

get rid of malloc project asap lol

put max aime score maybe? if it’s above like 5 or 6 it’s prob good enough to be worth it

[novel orbit]

damn it was actually pretty nontrivial tho

[novel orbit]

8 but idk

i feel like the explicit list malloc most schools do is super easy but cmu made that shit annoying as fuck

def way harder than firefly

[jolly oak]

yeah but it’s very obviously a school project lol

and nobody who’s reading it is gonna really know the difference/if you wanted to implement it you could probably find it on some schools website or youtube

[jolly oak]

i have my 10 on my resume and some qt interviews mentioned it

[novel orbit]

im not good enough for qt i think

at least not this yr

i really shouldnt have quit math bruh i got that 8 in freshman year and decided to push icho instead

[novel orbit]

ah r school projects bad

i have another project im working on anyways

[jolly oak]

usually

mine are school projects bc i suck at actually writing code lmao

[jolly oak]

same i never actually grinded comp math i kinda just showed up day of

[novel orbit]

in that case 10 is pretty good ngl

[novel orbit]

lmao down to do a project with anyone man

actually one of my school projects was to write a shell

it wasnt that advanced but like

could be worth putting cuz idk if many schools do that one

[jolly oak]

yeah i forgot everything though ☠️

can’t do trading interviews for shit

[jolly oak]

UT does, idk about other schools

[novel orbit]

all good i completely threw opt

[jolly oak]

i think georgia tech does

[novel orbit]

oh rip

[jolly oak]

it’s like the first project in the OS class here

which is required for every cs major

[novel orbit]

nice nice

that thing was deadass harder than malloc for me

but i think i just suck at concurrency
