oh ya i guess im in user-stuff I'll have to see what they assign me to. i told them i wanted to do react work though so it should be front-end stuff
thanks for the advice. Ya I don't really like it either it's just what i've managed to market myself as. i think I'd like to move to C++/Rust eventually but im still learning in that area. Backend devs also alright but i've only done it with javascript
instead of going with language, go with the field
specific area
I feel like unless we get lucky and get into some team or company doing cutting edge stuff than it's difficult to advance/ create your unique presence
ya im working on that. I'm taking a cloud dev class about AWS with my university this term and hopefully by the end of it i can learn enough to do the AWS exam and then get that covered.
i do get access to AWS academy so that might help also
this is a summary from someone that took it
i specifically tried to take a buncha cloud shit in my last semester so i at least had beginner level knowledge on aws n docker n shit
not that its made a difference so far job hunt wise
in my uni in name of cloud they teaching big data
lmao i don't understand what they trynna do
Did anyone else just get a kp hackerrank, Lowk the process is hella disorganized this year…
"learn how to use docker for your full stack app" so basically this means dockerizing the app right ? like when you finish building the app , you create a docker file and write docker stuff in it correct?
Once you learn it all, you get rejected coz you solved an algo question slower than expected 
i fking hate leetcode so much
me learning c# and having c# internships 
dont
product managers make a lot of money
or rather how does that compare to working as a SWE
product managers 
bruh only thing they do is make ppts and set meetings
and write linkedin posts
looks like they want us to create a docker container, and use docker compose and orchestration to get the app setup and all the services running like mongodb by following some guides.
2 final interviews (most likely), one is a product manager for AI/DS/ML team at a financial software company and other is data science intern at the biggest insurance company
i checked glassdoor, they both have avg salaries of 160k for both companies
also on the layoff chopping block right after recruiters

i know a program manager at paypal that is at my uni he said he would recommend me there lol
the product manager is completely remote
i feel very weird
and company is 100% remote + want to hire with return offer
i thought a lot of companies use .NET backends

my internship is c# and .NET. I kinda really like it tbh
my intern place just uses it and ive never used it before im kinda worried they might make me use it
i mean i graduate in a few days , sad that student life would be over . then i don't have a job which is worrying
wait when u do an internship (last summer), how early do u know
if they would give u a return offer
like applying to full time jobs while ur working ur last internship (december grad)

like a week or two before it ends

hmm if u did an intern last summer i think you'd have known by quite a while ago
just send an email to someone there and ask for any updates
i dont like C# because microsoft made it and therefore it's tainted. they also made typescript and that is good though
it's what i hoped c++ would be lol
after learning c
and then going to c++ and being like wait this isn't that easy
i think i'd only be limiting if i do another internship in it really
everyone says c# and java are same same. never used java
just microsoft java
experienced people says transition isn't that hard if you focus on it
so many job openings are java tho
it's sad
this summer is c# and next fall is python. not sure what next summer internship will be in
probably don't have the bandwidth to get java or go up to speed
until after masters but by then new grad. idk
i am so burned out i can't even describe
same homie
i fking cried my heart out yesterday , its too much man
i try so much nothing is working
i took a referal from an EM , dude was interested too . i got a reject within a day
and now the manager is not replying
that shattered me , i had a bit of hopes from it
also i have got rejected numerous times because i am international

relatable
ya that part is frustrating practically feels like discrimination. at least your making much more then ppl from your country could ever do but it certainly takes a ton of rejections to get there
I know it's just too frustrating..I cry every alternate days
For me, trying not to focus too much on getting a job helped me to get through for the job searching. even if I have to leave the US, it doesn’t degrade my value
Class of 2023 is the most resilient batch...they are facing difficulties like no one else
Crying helps sometimes
yea
Unfortunately China had to release their virus at the worst possible time
i haven't been around for previous new-grad years, was it always like this or were previoous years really better

I pray for you 🫂 may you find a job soon
2022 was probably better
2020 was bad
2020 was a cluster fuck
2020 was covid
Yeah COVID was fucked bro
🫂 I am also an international graduate student, I understand your pain
used to think it was a conspiracy but so much evidence for it coming out of the wuhan lab and then china locked up the doctors that tried to warn about it. China will never let us know if it was truly from their lab of course
People were confused, pussies started staying at home

COVID was fun
3 people I know died
*knew
old?
I thought I was going to die when I got covid
My body has never hurt that bad ever
26, 45, 45
i might have been immune to it not sure why i never got it
goddamn
Were the ages
Covid is bad mane
||a part of me was a bit happy that the population will reduce||
been vaccinated like 4 times now
I got COVID once or twice
Same tho
There aren't enough resources for the amount of people on this planet , sad but true
City in afternoon 
Ooh which city
not much at the rate india/africa/south america produce babies lol, but i guess they stay in their country so its not as big of a deal
Philly

south america and india don't really make a lot of babies
At least Indians dont
dont stay in their country lol
I have no right to speak as I myself am an Indian
But Almost everyone from my batch is here in US
And even the next batches are preparing to come
Multi racial baby 
ya mixed indians can be hot

just concrete
ive kinda always ignored philly as a city i feel like i never see it on the news much
I see a tree
ive also never been there either 👀 kinda want to apply for jobs out there.
I'm coming tonight at 7

bring pizza

I'll get beer then
Yep
isnt august supposed to bring new job listings

the only good new-grad jobs i ever see are government or defense with security clearance lol
I hope Biden doesn't get re-elected
is he i havent seen anything confirming that
He's too old and he's a corporate shill
techie wtf
orange man bad mans literally having his vice president testify against him criminally right now
I want Dems to nominate someone not Biden
how bad do u have to screw up to have your own vice president pick turn against u
sorry I voted Red the last 2 elections 
Hillary is fucked
biden did good though with foreign policy
tbh, I don't actually give a fuck
because me, 1 american, it wont make a diff who is Pres
his university loan forgiveness program benefited a lot of educated people
I don't want Republicans to win
except it got frozen but it's the thought that counts
im graduating this year
idk my 22% tax isnt that bad
the place i worked with last year didnt give any returns
lol
Because Republicans are unhinged
I am very thankful for this as fall back
like me 
Yes 
I never had school loans 
same

i dont think biden runs for the elections
All I can say is that as I’m learning it, it just makes sense. Like what I’m doing makes sense. The syntax makes sense. The conventions make sense.
scammed my dad out of his money 

he will
I did not qualify for loans, unless I became dependent from parents
who is Biden and can he beat Justin Trudeau?
man better pick a better vice president the 2nd time

he's going to croke over and die at some point and we'll have his VP lol
You think he’s not running Kamala again?
let me look at last weeks check
is that how it usually works?
Haven’t kept my ear to the ground as much as I have last 2 elections
Was genuine question
Usually they run the ticket back
idk if presidents keep their VP when they go for reelection i would guess they do
tax year just started 
that's the pres's choice
what yr is election year 2024 ?
lol cally has highest with 30% and all other places ranges from 22-27%
I dont try to pay less tax, I just do what people tell me
for example I only got $800 refund 
how u know its 30
I thought florida has state tax
who actually learns about that lol
guy who pays tax ig
I have already paid 9.4k in tax this year
what do you mean? highest tax bracket for Cali income tax looks like it's only 12.3%?
FL, TX and WA are kind of notorious for not having state income tax
my base is 112k
i have 0 motivation today

@lunar sonnet where are you getting this 12.5% for Cali though
thats sick for philly techie
I will probably make 170 base by age 30 
Yeah, and then unresponsive power lines coz no money to repair infrastructure
nah you'll make that next year

when is your deportation date?
Me and offer and bust will get jobs
just stay here ILLEGALY 
stay at techie apartment
bruh highest tax rate in Cali is 12.3% and that's for someone making 677k
bruh 
Yeah nobody else
i can make myself look like a madman and try for asylum
techie will harbor you from the mean ICE agents
Go to NYC
the closets are pretty spacious
No ICE allowed there
if get a background verification than can I assume i cleared the interviews?
bro 677k is not normal lmao
people who are on asylum they get GC in like 3-4 years
While he plays vidya
ur making a bank
4 guys tho 
just be gay

most would fall in the 9.3% for highest bracket
what if u became a CS teacher
That's new grad pay, aim higher
yea roughly same with me too
I'm asking the startup I interned for a position
boot camp teacher typa job
by that you mean atleast 300k TC right ?

wouldn't that count? i dont get how jobs work for h1b or whatever

300K TC is peanuts, that's what I made when I came out of the womb
Bootcamp teacher counts
Just has to be related to field of study

ok go do that then for like 20/hr
by contract marriage ?
oh they have to sponsor u though
You are walking down a slippery path
and no one would on a low pay job
I found a dark web site that gives us citizenship
yall want the link?
of course they do
heard stories getting ripped off, they started blackmailing
but I spend a decent amount of time in Tor 
seems like a lot of risk still unless a prenup is assumed
@lunar sonnet that stuff isn't as easy as a one time payment of 30k, the feds are a step ahead of it. they vet you very hard if your actually going to stay together or if it's just a marriage scam
entitled fucker
let me know, would try it out 💀 jk
she is
I'm just gonna leave the US if I can't get married
where are u going to
yea, marriage base gc interview has some weird questions itseems
Lol I am looking for green card too
I have the FBI on speed dial @obsidian crater
dont worry FBI is dumb they couldn't stop a 21 yr old kid from leaking the entire national database on US war efforts and intel on discord for months lol
cant say more 
that is called murder btw
usa does have the best cops for that 

people calling it "suicide by cop" are just Woke Cali bros
its just plain old fashioned murder
yeah if I go try do that to Indian cops
They'll just stare or bring out the cane
they would slap you and tell you to go drink your tea and chill out
Indian cops are fat as fuck generally
or beat you with a stick until u behave
wth is sucide by cop?
I could probably beat up most of them
wat
I mean the act of killing another human is murder right?
no
well no there's a diff between murder and manslaughter
homicide then?
same i dont want no bugs nibbling on me
graves are a waste of space tbh
💀
huh
suicide by cop is when you deliberately make the cops think you're a threat (or are actually a threat because you're so far gone) so they kill you
i want to die in outer space and float through space forever
If they ain't laughing, it's not worth it
I only know about this from Rick and morty
Everyone at my funeral be like: 
you have to solve a LC hard to get funeral invite @obsidian crater
he got deported 
if u get deported pls pass on your leetcode knowledge to me since u wont be needing it
lol being deported means leaving the country not like leaving sde roles
I only solved 2/4 problems last contest
They have nothing to lose if they snitch you plus they bag 30k from you
it's a show about a boy whose dad probably mated with a deer
what....
what
On a perilous adventure in a post-apocalyptic world, a boy who's half-human and half deer searches for a new beginning with a gruff protector.
actual show description
That's a haram ass show techie
its not what u think
also I aint Muslim
so I dont gotta follow Haram rules
Harem is haram I think?
ya that part is bs man, it doesn't make sense why H1b ppl can't just work low pay jobs until they get a job in their career
but the illegals can stay forever
doesn't work that way
H1-B is employer sponsored so you can't switch employers
It’s annoying it took one of my best friends (Irish dude) like 7 years to get his green card
If you want a new one you have to find another employer who's willing to file another one and then enter the lottery
I did fuck a white woman
well tbf u cant hand out green cards like candy it's a permenant residency card
He did and it still fucking took a long time

👀
Yeah I know but frustrating still
i haven't really ever looked at getting another countries residency but it can be really hard to immigrate from usa to europe if i wanted to, like germany or spain
ya ive heard u can buy a resort house and get free EU residency or something
Yup they’re the easiest to buy property
tbh usa has one of the good immigration policies but few countries have it hard
If you can buy property and have masters you are basically set
Almost guaranteed over there to be fine
there's so many stories of ppl coming from poor countries and making it pretty successful here, often way more successful then most americans ever will
probably a variety of factors but mostly that they got to work 5x harder to get a chance so obv they perform better with that work ethic
he went from africa to canada and then moved here i thought
ya you can if u invest money in those countries
it depends on many things, if a person started tasting results of his hustle than he would hustle to get that same taste
certain ones will give u eu residency and then u can go anywhere in eu as a dual citizen or somethin
it's not handing there's ton of things in there, basically can invest in a startup and employees 10 native americans
etc some of these rules
ill eat mcdons everyday
Only in malta and it costs like 700k
damn was it fun ?
daaamm
US is the best country if ur rich
roamed throughout eu?
im talkin abt if ur a trust fund kid
this is the truth so many poor americans hate this country but tbh i think they would be poor anywhere also lol
they talk about EU but they have no skills or work ethic it wouldn't matter
us is great if you are willing to work hard using your brain
ya safety from gang violence already makes it much better then mexico
can live good life by gaining good skills unless medical fees shit on u
That has nothing to do with my point lol
honestly I just got unlucky af
my little bro is a citizen
popped out of womb too early 
ya i dont really think u can get to a better place in terms of wealth, diversity, and just science and engineering companies then america
wat? i didn’t say that
i just like eu bc they hv nice infrastructure
Guys, I'm currently a MS CS student graduating soon. I just got an offer for 6 month co-op Software QA. My plan is to take the offer for now continue my search until December, hopefully the market is better. Should I take it? My goal is to find a SWE role
Hmm that's pretty subjective. Depends on what you value.
damn I want to try backpacking but it's a distant dream
take it @fallow thistle
I think you should if you dont have anything else in hand rn
no im canada
take anything you can get
lmao
At least youll get Opt(assuming youre international)
I kinda want to move to Canada but...
I've heard Canada is giga expensive and salaries are low
ya not much going for Canada, basically like America lite
I'll be a refugee of the climate wars
Definitely subjective but you can pretty much solve most of the shitty parts of living in the US with a bunch of money
I mean money solves a lot of problems lol
Yea that's the only offer I currently have but idk if that would affect my experience when looking for a SWE roles tho
Money won't guarantee you happiness but it's definitely a lot harder to be happy if you don't have money.
Looks better than 6 months of unemployment
American salaries are high
only place I've ever been in EU is Istanbul and I guess I'd agree it has such a different vibe from the USA or Asia i can't really place it. I can't see myself living there though
first thing u notice is how tiny everything is and it's hard to get over lol
Canadian salaries are pretty good compared to the rest of the western world
Some experience better than no experience
Amsterdam💀

Ok thanks guys 🙏🙏
@obsidian crater 🤷
and at this point you shouldnt worry about experience , getting a job itself is pretty difficult rn
microsoft bad
netherlands wa sso beautiful
Probably just gonna have to fuck off and work some tech bro job in Bangalore
and they always say how good netherlands is
until i flex with the USA CS salaries and then they are like u dont really need money here lol
Isn't Bangalore hot
Hyderabad 💀
and traffic
bangalore india?
moist , not hot

rains a lot
same
best night life and best food Hyderabad💀
i mean the positives with india is if you have a few 100k USD it's pretty easy to live a high life there
agreed
Im from Hyderabad
do not want to go back without experience though
Yea I mean the us is just turbo expensive
I see posts by Indian people on leetcode that make like 35LPA as senior devs. That's kind of nuts honestly.
you can literally go to anywhere, do whatever you want, and barely feel the impact on your bank account
if you want degen life mumbai or Delhi
I live close to centre in a capital city in europe and my total expenses are less than 1.5k a month
isnt that every indians dream
I'm from Pune too holy vased
Lego lamp, it's so hot 

The dream is just getting money , not the hardships 😂 , and Nobody is willing to offer a job cuz n o experience
@obsidian crater you should get a Lego lamp in your apartment 
I always thought Pune was a shithole
indian new grads make like $300/mo but it would be worth working there for a few years before moving just for experience so u can land a job in usa easier
Never really liked it
Canada
Lowkey would like to work in another country at one point but it'd also be a massive drop in salary prob
Is Pune India?
Yeah , I shouldve done that , I came here directly after graduation 😭
I only miss the food
Bangalore is like the only city I know 
SAME
Pune is like the 2nd big IT place I think
I'm not up on Indian cities
honestly after I started working out I don't really miss Indian food
As a vegatarian , I miss Indian food A LOT
in Maine?
cause gym bro diets are kind of restrictive
Theres nothing here except cheese pizza 💀
oh nvm bangor is in Maine
Bangalore is in India 
yeah same thing
facts
I saw a murder this morning

Get used to it buddy

Y'all should be carrying tbh
fortunately , Ive never heard or experienced such stuff
Oh it's every big city
Boston is FULLL of International students roaming around all the time , pretty safe imo
Internationals can't buy weapons lel
If the TC was shit, would you guys still come to the US?
I prolly would cause I grew up here so cultural fit is better
no
Our schools are trash
Indian schools are worse mane
💯
India has two types of schools - the ones where they expect you to grind 24/7, and the ones where the teachers don't even know what they're teaching
problem is the population in india
Do drugs to cope
man its tough to get into FAANG's as compared to here
Are drugs illegal there.
also lot of tier culture , like Tier 1 uni Tier 2 and shit
Like weed?

Yes and the ||nosy relatives||

weak
Bro India is a backwards shithole

No matter how much people like to cope and seethe

You can't even date people without your relatives or parents judging
and if we say that in India , we get called "Anti-natioalists" and trolled

Yep

Literally didn't give a fuck
I was hoping for a couple million KOs
They paid for my school

We battled covid by banging plates


mane don't remind me why I don't ever wanna go back to that shithole
Well, India sounds terrible, remind me to never visit 
legit gonna develop psychosis if I go back
😂
I'd rather go to North Korea 
ok that's extreme

The people are , yes but the locations , the food is Something worth visiting India for
you'd get tortured there
nah india is not so bad
I've seen some decent Korean chicks
It's worth it
successful in his spirituality trip

My mom wants me to go to some spiritural bullshit

jagermeister

you buy a bottle of jager and it sits on the shelf for 8 years
I'm trying to get abs
same
around the same calories
I just eat when I'm hungry
oh I eat when i crave something/ something in front of me looks delicious
Am on calorie deficit
what even is hunger?
🫂
being fat kinda not good though
I was fat before I came to US
Us expenses made me slim
I probably weigh like 175 at 5'8

Years of beer and frat parties gave me a good tummy
I weigh like 162
I wanna cut to 150 then bulk
12 seems like a decent amount
I used to be 200lbs
lol

https://reddit.com/r/csMajors/comments/131dyzz/tips_from_the_120k_offer_guy/
ikr i saw that
there is wayyyy too much markup lmaooo
u just know they gonna eat it up lol
all that and he didn't even land faang 
/s
say less
lol looking again this morning and he got completely shit on and he deleted it
what a 180 from just 8 hours ago lol
dang I missed it
embodiment of the average CS major god
damn he deleted
bless unddidt
tbh some of that stuff is good for new college ppl to hear
it’s just the smarmy pretentiousness that it’s wrapped in
if he left out his TC and the personality/self-help mumbo jumbo the points like “don’t slack off as a freshman” are good
Lol the comment that’s like “don’t you have 9k of credit card debt at 24” 

Product Manager out of college, 
they wanted me to be a product manager on both the product team+ AI/ML team because i have a grad degree+ background in ML research

yeah thats wat i was scuffed about
not sure if it's bad or good
There’s literally new grad positing for PM

Called APM TPM shit like that
what really>
well hopefully i get an offer and decide
I guess it makes sense, if you did some biz classes
i was originally thinking of PM because, more companies are starting to make AI teams
also i heard pay is good

but my friend told me data scientists make more
also i wouldnt be model creating anymore
Yeah there were good points. But they kind of went into it a little too much.
There’s barely any opening for data science
That’s a big reason why I gave up 
idk most of my callbacks atm has only been for ML roles
well im doing internships this summer and graduating end of the year
but i was told these 2 internships want to conver to full time

i saw way more DS positions than SWE
That’s this year
yeah
2020-2022 barely any data science MLE
and only have DS experience, so i kinda go this route
wut
its the other way around
NLP is huge atm
analysts maybe, but scientists/ML roles
still are in demand
if u have experience

i'm just gunna
for return offer
also i think it depends on a lot of factors
Data Anal list?
for ML roles
ML


it like depends on the company and industry ur in
also its still competitie
isnt SWE super hard atm
i'd rather fight against other grad students than SWE undergrads
its still a big barrier
yeah but way less applicants
most of those jobs have a grad degree as barrier of entry
isnt that the same with swe
i am a grad student

no, that degree is useless af
most DS people are CS/stats/science heavy/etc
unless u really tried hard in ur MS for DS
but the programs i looked at were pretty bad

what is DS
data science?
ouch lol p sure my uni launched a dedicated degree for it last year haha
781,000 h1b petitions this year
