[vale eagle]

bro got scared at the end of the sentence

[unreal quail]

Bro this sounds like @lapis lark basically. Every cracked ass mf is just built different I swear 😭

[vale eagle]

cracked people automatically get interviews and pass them ez first try its insane bro

its like the world is like helping them succeed

on top of their own like work

[gleaming yoke]

One of the companies hq is like 15 minutes away from where I live. Can I just show up to that company in person and ask them if they have fall openings for their internship program instead of cold emailing to get a direct response right away?

[plucky garnet]

Why are we all adding Justice j

[unreal quail]

This gotta be a troll

[gleaming yoke]

What’s wrong with that?

[gleaming yoke]

How?

[unreal quail]

Bro they going think u some robber or some shit if you do this. There is a time and a place to ask questions and it not doing it in person randomly

[kind needle]

any new fall openings?

[unreal quail]

Tesla

[twin kraken]

Where do u guys find fall postings?

[cinder solar]

we just gather around a bonfire under a full moon, chant “internship” three times, and a LinkedIn post appears in the smoke

This is what @unreal quail does and we ask him

[torpid saffron]

bro threw c1 in the cracked list

[unreal quail]

Well how could I forget cfaang bro

[untold cape]

lol

[prime totem]

Hes right ❤️🔥

[torpid saffron]

tbf i did get a rej from c1

[unreal quail]

Same bro. C1 is elite and 🔥, only the goats like mip worked there 🐐

[drowsy radish]

🤝

does c1 allow mid june start date? heard their program starts on 2nd june

[unreal quail]

@prime totem would know probably

[drowsy radish]

i have seen very less quarter system people getting into c1

compared to semester ppl

[unreal quail]

Yeah Idt they recruit quarter system people really. Like I have never seen someone from uc other than Berkeley intern at c1

[drowsy radish]

i know like one person from my school (low ranked uc) who interned at c1

[prime totem]

C1 is ultra prestige theyre very selective

[prime totem]

C1 rej -> google pipeline might be real

Youll get c1 next cycle

[drowsy radish]

what about c1 -> google rej pipeline

[torpid saffron]

not applying next cycle bro 💀

[unreal quail]

C1 would be an upgrade tho over google. Their ro is free

[torpid saffron]

next summer will be my final summer and junior summer

need ro

[drowsy radish]

do people aim for quant after google?

[unreal quail]

kerfuffle @jagged coyote did

[torpid saffron]

yes

[unreal quail]

So I would assume so

[drowsy radish]

ye

[prime totem]

Are you

Idt id even wanna do quant

[torpid saffron]

no im not

[sweet ginkgo]

i have two friends at ucla that got c1 offer

[icy root]

i feel like a good amount of people at ucsd get c1

[unreal quail]

Nah i didn’t tag everyone kefuffle did that to make seem I tagged everyone he’s a mf. If you click on it just goes to kerfuffle profile

[drowsy radish]

wait whaaa

oh his username is everyone

silly tomfoolery

[unreal quail]

Yeah bro trying make me look like the bad guy 😭

[gloomy basin]

🫳

🫴

[karmic prawn]

i think kerfuffle blocked me

😢

[spark garden]

Is there a github repo for fall internships?

[muted magnet]

how many rounds is tiktok usually?

[unreal quail]

I think 2 or 3 but depends on team

[unreal quail]

[limpid imp]

Ty

💀

[prime totem]

Hey guys how to get accenture

I really want accenture

[mortal linden]

be indian

[vagrant beacon]

hello

[torpid saffron]

for spring

[gloomy basin]

Po actually wants dumplings, not apples

[wheat prairie]

why

peanuts pay and bad culture on most teams

[unreal quail]

calling 165k ng peanut pay is crazy 💀

[muted sorrel]

With free food

[prime totem]

Goog -> apple is peanuts

[zealous niche]

their internship program got dissolved anyway

[prime totem]

💔💔💔💔

How am i gonna make 70k ng in nyc now

[zealous niche]

apply for amex

[unreal quail]

Damm really I went to my school career fair last fall and they told me they were hiring

[zealous niche]

got cut bc of DOGE

[prime totem]

Is infosys still hiring ❤️

[untold cape]

Only hiring Indian and IIT

[primal flint]

Yes

They reached out to me

But not sure if it’s worth lowk

[prime totem]

Orz…..

[primal flint]

Is it worth tho

[prime totem]

Hell no

Infosys/accenture r unironically the worst cs major outcomes possible

[primal flint]

ye that’s what I thought 😂😂😂

[prime totem]

Besides going to mcdonalds

Like genuinely

[primal flint]

True true

[wheat prairie]

peanut compared to google and amazon

it’s amazon culture but worse pay

[thick edge]

Apple has zon culture?

[magic shore]

Idk I just don't see it on their site
Prolly not started yet, idk

[uneven ibex]

hasn’t started yet fs

[tired storm]

not good benefits w little growth

[prime totem]

Zon is the faang sibling that gets the most hate while apple sits in the corner somehow dodging it all

[supple hull]

apple ass for ng

but goated at the manager level

[prime totem]

Apple just has normie prestige

Cuz everyone has an iphone

[supple hull]

get all the perks but dont gotta work like a dog

[unreal quail]

it doesn't have free bannas though

[supple hull]

💀💀

Bro chatting so much with j c1 💀💀

[prime totem]

Am i wrong

Credibility and opinion doesnt come with where u work

Once i get zon does my credibility all of a sudden change

[unreal quail]

bro don't disrespect c1, all my homies love c1

[prime totem]

Apple pays less

What is apples sign on

[prime totem]

Real bro takes any opportunity he can to ego diss c1

Like big bro ur at zon its literally a singular step above

[tired storm]

u compared one good product to all of zon 😭 what kind of comparison is that

there are some nice aws teams

[prime totem]

Avg c1 employee

Jkjk lmfao

I love c1

[muted sorrel]

lmk how apple music CICD QA testing team is

[supple hull]

Apple NG probs = Zon NG maybe a little less

Vs the higher you go with apple the nicer it becomes

The EM I interviewed with told me the first 2-4 years at apple is ass

Then you start going crazy

Both companies are = tho

Nah not u lmfao

[karmic prawn]

aye any new fall postings?

[glass tulip]

i LOVE apple

[prime totem]

Wlb can come later

Im not even considering coasting until at least 250k tc

[swift helm]

yes

even if you don't do it yourself others do

[prime totem]

Wym

[swift helm]

assigning credibility based on where one work

[prime totem]

Ah

Yea

True

[untold cape]

As nice as it sounds, how logical is it?

Like how reasonable is it like how likely

[supple hull]

pennies

i gotta 3x my family's pay

[untold cape]

What’s that

Give an estimate

[supple hull]

im good

[untold cape]

Fair

[unreal quail]

[untold cape]

Wanted to know is u were a secret millionaire

Fr

[supple hull]

[unreal quail]

[supple hull]

[untold cape]

Lowke I wanna make enough at my internship to buy some gifts

[unreal quail]

Zon Sagemaker -> School Dean is a crazy pipeline

[untold cape]

Yeah

[supple hull]

nah bro thinks im boutta be a dean

[untold cape]

A present for my parents and me

[supple hull]

im j trynna bring poor kids in india to america

[untold cape]

That’s cool

Good luck though

[supple hull]

[untold cape]

I feel like

Especially with sponsoring

But good luck

[viscid flower]

based

i'm never coasting ever

[supple hull]

MUYYYYYYY

bro

how to orz like u

[viscid flower]

no u

[supple hull]

no u

[unreal quail]

Imma never coast regardless of the TC

[dusk parrot]

Incoming SWE Intern @ Company

Maybe team if relevant as well

If you are using a template like Jake's just follow the format and have company and role on separate lines

With loc and timing

[compact wyvern]

i put the incoming just next to where id usually put the date worked

Not sure if thats the best ever

[prime totem]

Given my current trajectory, id guess 3 yearsish and ill be making that

Assuming i actually get amazon this summer that is

[vagrant beacon]

any fall @unreal quail

[unreal quail]

Tesla opened up like a day or 2 ago

[vagrant beacon]

aahhhh

[dim hill]

home depot opened up a fall internship. i wonder if anybody thats not a GT student had any luck getting an interview with them for off season

[prime totem]

Why would you want to do home depot

That does not help ur resume

I mean assuming u have literally anything else

[unreal quail]

what is ur summer internship

[viscid geyser]

it says min 15 hrs too

thats part time right

might as well

[unreal quail]

I need a fucking cracked fall or I am ngmi

just feed it your cat

[vagrant beacon]

shit

[subtle nimbus]

Yield protect is crazy 💀

[supple hull]

No way they YP Zon

Might have to reapply

[dim hill]

^

i dont understand either

also its not like i can easily just get a faang for the fall

[prime totem]

Well ig it does but

Is home depot worth a semester off for?

[dim hill]

any internship is better than no internship especially an internship at a fortune 50 company

[prime totem]

Oh i mean

[dim hill]

it will be part time

[prime totem]

If its the only option then yea

Do u have any other internships

What year r u

[dim hill]

grad student 1st semester

[dim hill]

past? yeah but they arent really big

[prime totem]

ah i see

yea hd is fine

[dim hill]

i love part time internships during semester because its nice to have money during the semester

so its win win

my friend interned for walmart and it really helped with her new grad search

yeah i interned for mostly no name companies during undergrad and i regret it. recruiters mostly ask me about the big name i did 2 years ago even tho it was only for one semester

moral of the story: its ok to not wear deodarant from time to time

[ebon solstice]

Could you have gotten bigger names though

[dim hill]

maybe if i didnt jump the gun with my internship search

i took the no name internship and thought i didnt need to grind for something bigger cause at least i had an internship

i also thought i would be more beneficial for my development to stay with the same team instead of hopping around but now i want to hop around

it does

[ebon solstice]

i dont blame you

its so hard landing some big company

at least you got some experience

[dim hill]

some ppl are tripping lmao im not really a faang fanboy but i want a big name company thats cool to work for. like my dream internship is nintendo or sephora or maybe nike

i made it to first round, got on waitlist and broke down crying when i got that reject email. ill try again next year

[ebon solstice]

yeah all i need is fortune 500 and im set tbh

ppl overlook those companies

[dim hill]

the way ppl in this server feel about amazon is how i feel about nintendo

[ebon solstice]

ppl love amazon here?

amazon is shit no?

[dim hill]

i wanna do disney too cause free park tickets

[ebon solstice]

like its good obv but i heard it sucks to work there

[dim hill]

Y E S i dont understand it

[ebon solstice]

so stressful and 5 days in office

a lot of ppl tell me its good to work there for like 1-2 years but long term its not worth

lol thats crazy

USD?

[dim hill]

some ppl are very anal about salary

[ebon solstice]

see id do that, but i think if you could land zon you could land something else

personally i cant land zon

so id take that lol

[subtle nimbus]

Wait till u hear quant NG salary 💀

[ebon solstice]

ppl who land zon usually land some other big company

yeah like 500k?

[dim hill]

yeah i wouldn’t mind doing it but im not pressed over it

[ebon solstice]

makes sense though who tf works in quant

for ng?

yes

[dim hill]

but im honestly fine with 120k maybe even 80k i live in a lcol area

[ebon solstice]

yeah for sure youre right

so many interns at amazon these days

except me ofc

and i noticed they dont land shit, amazon lowkey fell off hard

me neither but i only applied once

im a 3rd year lowkey lacked

maybe the states is different

[dim hill]

same i applied for specialized co op

[ebon solstice]

here in canada so many bums get amazon

[dim hill]

dang poor canada

[ebon solstice]

better than most places tbf

[dim hill]

trudeau is hot af

oh wait youre not canadian??

[pale willow]

fr

[dim hill]

i think canada and mexico cs students have the better chance of getting us internships

cause theyre right there

[ebon solstice]

idk what companies to target

i just completely revamped my resume

[dim hill]

apply everywhere

[ebon solstice]

so im not sure whether its actually comp enough to land interviews

[pale willow]

mfs got offer without solving the question

[dim hill]

uhhh

[ebon solstice]

i am but i alr got an internship for summer

so im focusing on fall

[dim hill]

oh yeah teaa

[ebon solstice]

im behind because i only started applying this year

so i need one more internship before i grad for sure

[dim hill]

apply everywhere tbh

wikimedia also does fall too

[ebon solstice]

cant do spring

i start may

i would renege

but im doubtful

[dim hill]

you dont wanna just relax

since you have ft secured already

[ebon solstice]

ofc im actually more locked in now lol

[ebon solstice]

secured?

[dim hill]

oh wait

[ebon solstice]

i mean if it was actually a ft

id be chilling

but yeah its an internship

[dim hill]

i thought you said you cant do spring 26 cause you start something in may

[ebon solstice]

and its data eng, not sure if i wanna stay on this track

[ebon solstice]

ohh

no i can do spring 26

[dim hill]

my bad im dumb

[ebon solstice]

i graduate fall 26

or spring 25

if i take a spring sem

i dont wanna do that though i wanna extend my degree by a sem

see if i could get another internship

unless mc gives me a RO

i heard they give RO most of the time

[tame remnant]

Does anyone know if any of the FAANG companies have posted positions for Fall 25?

[swift helm]

amazon

the rest as far as i know you just get summer and push fall

[prime totem]

i thought zon fall is just pushing

they have more than enough ppl on fall wl to do that

[unreal quail]

i mean they have other roles open rn like data engineer and business engineer for the fall . I think pushing it just for sde

[swift helm]

there are specific postings for fall

but yeah you can also push summer to fall

[tame remnant]

Then there's no chance for fall at big tech if I start now

Wb wintet

Any FAANG+ companies hire lots of people for winter?

[unreal quail]

oh nah they had like de coop and be coop open last month for regular zon but it seems like it is closed now

[drowsy radish]

if summer wl people get zon fall in june , i will be cooked

like last year

[unreal quail]

look at pinned message in this chat

[untold cape]

My textbook and notes are kinda cooked

[tame remnant]

How competitive is quant compared to FAANG?

[untold cape]

I assume a lot more competitive

Pay is also a lot higher

[supple hull]

uh

yeah

[swift helm]

how do you have 3 offers for fall but no summer?

[supple hull]

dm

[untold cape]

I can pay off my tuition for a couple years

[untold cape]

It’s research, not an actual internship

[tame remnant]

Makes sense

[swift helm]

in general considered more competitive but they are two different paths

so the difficulty varies

[tame remnant]

Yeah I was aiming for FAANG cuz it's the most attainable way to get rly good pay and clout

[swift helm]

its more like tech is just more rng

like if you have a strong resume and from a mid school you're more likely to hear back from quant than tech

but on average tech is easier

like if you have a bad resume you can still get tech because of the luck factor

[unreal quail]

why not have both

[untold cape]

Is it because they review every single one instead of screen

Also do yall know if datadog screens

[unreal quail]

i would go with distributed more than ml idk what@hallow summit thinks

[swift helm]

quant has more resources to recruit people

[untold cape]

Or actually reads them

[swift helm]

and fewer applicants

[untold cape]

Wait fr?

[swift helm]

not everyone applies to jane street or whatever

[untold cape]

How

😭

[swift helm]

but everyone applies to big tech

[unreal quail]

nah citadel had like 50k apps last year

[tame remnant]

Anyone here ACC gone to interview stage or higher for any quant?

[unreal quail]

@hallow summit has

[untold cape]

Would yall rather work quant or tech if it’s the same salary and workload

[unreal quail]

quant

oh you said same salary then big tech

[tame remnant]

Prolly tech cuz there's more opportunities for other jobs when the eventual layoff occurs

[untold cape]

I asked bc idk but I feel as though most people do it for just the salary atp and not because they enjoy it that much

[unreal quail]

Bruh if i worked at microsoft making quant salary, that would be insane. I get good wlb and insane benefits with insane salary

[untold cape]

Idk though

[swift helm]

i did

[untold cape]

Uk what would be the dream

C1 intern with quant salary and c1 intern workload

[tame remnant]

Which form was it and do you have any tips?

[swift helm]

be good

also reapplying does work

[unreal quail]

why would u want to work at c1

bruh

[swift helm]

unironically

[cunning mica]

i would like to thank @unreal quail for brining me here

[untold cape]

I remember people saying it was easy that’s why 😭

I mean in relation to workload for money

Maximize money, minimize the work

[tame remnant]

What's c1?

[cunning mica]

yeah fucking mips works there

[untold cape]

Capital one

[unreal quail]

capital one

[untold cape]

Wait

[tame remnant]

Ohhh

[untold cape]

Does Waterloo go into quant a lot

[unreal quail]

bruh so many cracked people at waterloo bro

[tame remnant]

Only know one person personally who did quant

But like 10+ people in faang

[untold cape]

Ah that’s fair

[cunning mica]

idt so

[unreal quail]

everyone at waterloo is like guranteed a quant process

it is actually crazy

[swift helm]

yea you don't know that

[untold cape]

Yeah I looked at @tame remnant profile and they’re at Waterloo so I asked 😭

[swift helm]

pay structure is pretty opaque for quant

[cunning mica]

hello lotus. i like u

the flower i mean

[unreal quail]

@tame remnant u doing quant?

[cunning mica]

it's pretty

[swift helm]

thanks

[untold cape]

Bro what’s with people and

[tame remnant]

As a Waterloo student, it is not as easy as you think it is
Last I checked the summer employment rate iss 50% for CS

[untold cape]

Disease detection projects

[cunning mica]

both basic

[untold cape]

😭 I’ve seen so many

[unreal quail]

i don't quants care about arduino

[untold cape]

Like are they easy ( my assumption was that detecting cancer or smth was like super hard)

[cunning mica]

cuz kaggle already has a gazzilion implementations of it

[untold cape]

😭

Ohhhhhh

[unreal quail]

50% for waterloo ain't no way, you guys land internship like it's nothing 😭

[tame remnant]

I'd love to but idk if it is even possible cuz everyone I know or heard of who got quant had international olympiads

[tame remnant]

Used to be that way

[tame remnant]

But not anymore cuz of the economy

I spent 8 months trying to get a coop for this spring and just finalized one 2 days ago

[unreal quail]

nah bro, everyone i see tho at waterloo is cracked. i haver never met at uncracked bum person at waterloo. u guys are just built different

[swift helm]

you dont need those things

[untold cape]

Do people just take kaggle things as their own atp 😭

[unreal quail]

isn't the personalized route stuff still ml

[swift helm]

its great if you have it

but you dont need them

[swift helm]

personalized route stuff seems cooler

[tame remnant]

Check the UWaterloo subreddit and you'll see all the depressed people talking about co-op

Waterloo students def have it a lot better than other unis but it's nowhere near what it used to be

[swift helm]

more practical

[unreal quail]

u guys are guranteed tho at least 400k+ ng

[tame remnant]

My life would be so nice if I was born a few years earlier lol
Would've gotten into the economy when the economy was booming

[swift helm]

compensation is very opaque

for quant

levels is likely not accurate

[untold cape]

Datadog isn’t quant right

[swift helm]

250k+ at least

[unreal quail]

bruh how can u call both of these basic 💀

[swift helm]

yea i think 500k is a bit high isnt it

[unreal quail]

in what world is datadog quant bruh

[unreal quail]

it's big tech

well not actually nvm

but same level as big tech

maybe unicorn

[cunning mica]

they really do

[untold cape]

Oh, I asked bc like I remember someone said quant ppl tend to read resumes instead of screening, and I was wondering if datadog did that lol

[unreal quail]

that what kaggle is for 🔥

[untold cape]

Found the new strat

Jk

Mb, 😭 I got confused man

[unreal quail]

idk @plucky garnet would probably know bc he got datadog process

[cunning mica]

ok the disease one is just staright up basic unless ur doing research and implementing a new model or sth. arduino could be complex but seeing how the other project mentioned was basic high chance this one is basic too

[plucky garnet]

who summoned me

TT

[untold cape]

Hi

[plucky garnet]

wsg

[untold cape]

Hi @plucky garnet do u know the answer to this

[plucky garnet]

idk but during my behavioral round we deep dove my resume based on my recrutiers memory

[unreal quail]

i mean he said the adruino project was for fire alarm detection and providing personalized routes which seems cool af

[plucky garnet]

so they most likely read resumes

and sort it into piles

bc they send out rejections in waves

[untold cape]

Wait speaking of Kaggle, has anyone done the 5 days AI course thing

[untold cape]

Ohhhh alr alr

Tysm

[plucky garnet]

it doesnt really sound useful

[plucky garnet]

ty ty

[untold cape]

Idk much about it but apparently there’s like a capstone thing or smth like that, I’m just interested on what they do

😭

[cunning mica]

could range from basic to extreme. like detecting fire alarm how? listening for a particular noise? and escape paths how? pre defined or looking for exit signs thru ur phone etc

[unreal quail]

they didn't ask star questions?

just asked stuff on ur resume?

[plucky garnet]

no we deep dove on my resume then we had basic behavioral, then just a heart to heart about datadog why datadog why i like it

ect ect

[true holly]

why do you like datadog @plucky garnet

[unreal quail]

damm bro u weren't lying their process is easy af (except for the screening tho)

[cunning mica]

im srsly not trying to flame u. just that they smell like the typical cs projects u see on a resume and its usually just "FINE I DID IT NOW CAN I PUT IT ON MY RESUME" type shi. and tbh, i had something like that on my resume too. sorting trash into bins using yolo. v basic. but i got aws ai w it so ymmv

[unreal quail]

just look at the pay bro

that's enough for anyone to want to work at datadog

[untold cape]

Cool ahh stickers

[cunning mica]

bonus points for that so yeah y not. anything is better than a 50 pt font size resume

ok ok question for yall: what project r u most proud of?

[true holly]

@untold cape did you look for a summer internship

[cunning mica]

anyone? no one??

[untold cape]

I have looked, and honestly not rlly the best result. I decided of instead of spending time applying, imma just the time and the summer to get good at lc and more prijects

Bc I can apply but if I can’t solve lc, then there’s no point

[cunning mica]

thats A ok bro. i just wanna hear abt what yall have made. maybe we can even get inspired n stuff yk?

[ruby vapor]

any tips on how to get resume to pass through

[cunning mica]

tell us bout it

show n tell yk

[ruby vapor]

i have been struggling with it and i see so many kids with worse resume than mine get OA's and shit

[true holly]

dm me it

ill review it for you rn

[cunning mica]

that sounds sick af. is it open source?

its not just grid search type shi is it

[untold cape]

Wdym

[plucky garnet]

good wlb, cool teams for ML, good pay, solid prestige, near family

also

[cunning mica]

coooool. drop da link

[plucky garnet]

does Byte Dance ask Graphs or is tree problems just fine

[true holly]

why not both you could just keep applying and practicing u basically just gave up

[untold cape]

Yeah I would have started putting work in but I’m taking 19 credit hours also I postponed my grind to summer

[cunning mica]

o. dam

[untold cape]

😭

Just don’t have much time

Nor energy

[cunning mica]

can u tell me more tho? sounds kinda interesting

[untold cape]

Yeah but I kinda need to take that much if I want to get cs

[unreal quail]

what if u fail optiver phone then

it is joever bro

[cunning mica]

UR NOT EVEN CS YET???

[true holly]

@ruby vapor dm me ur resume

[cunning mica]

UNDECLARED??

[untold cape]

If u look at my times, it’s mostly after midnight for me so like 😭 I can’t work

[plucky garnet]

yea its insanely easy

[cunning mica]

undeclared is like hell bro o naaaaah

[untold cape]

Every freshman engineer in my school is undeclared

😭

[true holly]

dude ur cooked

[cunning mica]

nd what're ur chances of getting cs

[untold cape]

We have a rlly dumb system called ETAM (entry to a major) and if u make a 3.75 then u get cs

Like it’s auto admit cs

[ruby vapor]

bro it's like not that great but yeah i'll dm it to you

[untold cape]

Yeah

[jagged coyote]

[cunning mica]

every time i go to my classes im ashamed to step my foot in

[unreal quail]

i been skipping all my classes this semester

[cunning mica]

cracked in the head a lil

[unreal quail]

except for one of them which is required for grade

[untold cape]

W

I like going to my classes 😭

[unreal quail]

class useless af

unless u got a goated prof

[tame remnant]

same lmaoooo
First I was sick
Then I had coop interviews
And then I was just demotivated cuz my friends were making more than me for the summer

[untold cape]

One of my profs got so annoyed that people skipped that he gave everyone who was there a free 100 on the final

I heard he made the final hella hard

😭

So many people failed

[tame remnant]

This was the first term I skipped more than 3 lectures

[untold cape]

Like legit it went from 170 people to around 35

[tame remnant]

And this is my 5th study term so far

[untold cape]

😭

[tame remnant]

Sounds like most courses after midterms

[unreal quail]

lowkey for one of my classes last semester i only i went 3 times to it which were just all for the exams lol bc i was too busy with interviews

[untold cape]

And he wasn’t a bad prof 😭, he was legit so good at teaching

Fr

I have to code crazy 8s in c++ for my next hw assignment

So annoying

[unreal quail]

is this like intro to cs

[untold cape]

Yeah

I don’t get crazy 8s, is it like uno 💀

[unreal quail]

the first language they teach u guys is c++ wtf

[cunning mica]

at uw ALL classes are recorded in hd so i barely went to ANY classes at all. all throughout my 4 yrs there

[swift helm]

C++ is cool af

[untold cape]

Nah all freshman take a semester of python and all cs majors first language is c++

It’s a huge ahh importance at TAMU

😭

[unreal quail]

that is dumb af

[untold cape]

Our first day of classes is just

An intro on how c++ was made and stuff

[swift helm]

honestly things with classes is theres a huge misaligned incentives

[cunning mica]

who even does their hw anymore i been gpting that shi ever since it came out

[untold cape]

They got rlly good checkers and stuff man

They caught so many people alr

[swift helm]

its usually higher return on investment to just do bare minimum get a B and focus all your efforts on other things if your entire goal is to just get a high paying job

[untold cape]

I think for a hw assignment, about 65% of people got caught

[cunning mica]

don't be dumdum n ur golden

[swift helm]

like theres a huge misaligned incentive here

[untold cape]

Yeah

This one guy ik just grinded and eventually failed out of engineering and then college

He’s at Palo Alto now

😭

He’s doing cybersecurity so it’s goated for him

Yes

Palo Alto Networks

[tame remnant]

Yeah I agree
Only broke out of it when I saw people with 20 - 30% lower average than me getting jobs that pay 2 - 3x as much
And then my obsession switched from marks to money

[untold cape]

Like one of the FAANG but for cybersec
