teal jackal
#

tesla interior doesn't even hold a candle to a camry

shut crescent

#

tesla interiors are straight up full of hard plastics and crappy vinyl seats but at least there's a funny middle screen

shut crescent
#

that would give me like +$19500 to my total comp haha

If tesla starts selling again for 35k i might get it

#

i think nissan gives CVTs a bad name

prisma flax
#

Nissan transmission are mostly shit

teal jackal
#

people cringe at the world CVT because nissan ones are just that bad, yet nissan continues to use them

shut crescent
#

ima prob sell it in like 2-3 years anyways

#

i dont even drive this shit anymore

#

i just whip around model 3

ornate cliff
teal jackal
#

they should just shutter jatco, take the L, and outsource their automatic trans from ZF

prisma flax
#

Cvt in general are good

#

I never heard problems from different makers

teal jackal
#

yeah exactly

shut crescent
#

i bought cvt cuz there is no way im shifting in traffic ruh

teal jackal

GM CVTs are alright too

shut crescent
#

bay area manual is not it

teal jackal
#

the chevy malibu isnt a fast car, but boy is it fuel efficient and easy to drive

#

i rented one before

I would never buy one since a camry or sonata is nicer for the price

#

but the malibu is surprisingly smooth

prisma flax
#

Should get some semi electric vechiles for better eco

I'm still trying to figure what toyota's contribution was to that thing LMAO

toyota got to customize the chassis config on their version of the supra

ornate cliff
#

Yep that's the end game

#

100%

teal jackal
#

I hope so friend

#

not sure what my endgame car is

#

Tbh we also have to take into account that you don't know how much longer internal combustion will be in production

#

once ICE is canned, our dream cars will get harder to buy on the used market

#

though I think porsche and BMW are planning on holding out and continuing to build ICE forever, they even lobbied the EU successfully to permit cars powered by synthetic gas

prisma flax
#

I would get a gas and manual, idk if they gonna be regulated

shut crescent
teal jackal
prisma flax
#

At least this decade gonna be the last of this

teal jackal
#

it might be front wheel drive but it handles damn good for one

Ya elentra is pretty good

Best of both worlds

some people like it that way

teal jackal

startup with at least a round or two of funding

tbf i see esports like playing real sports in your free time like soccer

#

but at least sports are healthy

teal jackal
ornate cliff
#

diamond is where I keep getting one tapped

#

i'm also solo queuing which is a nightmare

teal jackal
#

why is valorant easier than csgo

#

csgo hardstuck at gold nova or silver is much more common

ornate cliff
#

gold nova is basically plat

#

right in the middle

#

most people are gold/plat in valo

teal jackal
#

ah, so valorant creates a wider range with regards to the lower ranks

#

why do iron/bronze/silver exist in valorant then

ornate cliff
#

kinda ya

teal jackal

in csgo its just silver

no

#

Because if you graduate, employers expect you to get a full time job.

brave forge
#

ya it does, if u plan on doing the masters the main point is to get as much experience through internships as possible

#

hmm thinking about your situation, it's a tough choice. You have SoFi intern or this full time offer, but you dont actually want to go for masters although you have a masters offer. Hmm ya that is a good plan, it's just a few month so ask them if you can start later

rain patio
#

u can pt a masters and apply for FT roles

#

while applying for interns

#

if u get FT just have fun with the MS anyways FT SWE + OMSCS is a common thing ig

#

ahh damn okay

#

yeah MS is very reasonable then

#

in general FT >>> Internships usually (exception::: intern at DeepMind vs Test Engineer at Joe's Crab Shack)

#

so they'll sponsor?

#

Yeah I am kind of in the dark here, you got two FT offers?

#

Is it Pure?

#

Gotchu yeah that's a tough decision ngl

#

Maybe someone else can weigh in

ornate cliff
#

Internships don't count for YOE and return offers are not guaranteed

#

Go ft

teal jackal
#

actually maybe, it accelerates your prestige potential as a new grad

rain patio
#

that's what I'd try tbh

#

I am actually surprised you were given a summer intern after you graduated

ornate cliff
#

What's the point of pushing? Hoping you'll land another FT?

rain patio
#

Are either remote

#

Cuz onboarding is usually pretty chill lol

#

yeah probably more prudent to wait for the info cuz any advice u would get would be existential at best rn

#

afaik plenty of ft roles recruit months in advance of the actual start date

ornate cliff
#

Take the FT then renege if you get something else? At this point I don't see the value of internships?

#

Unless there's a high chance of return

#

Is sofi ft or intern

#

Ft swe > intern swe

what does "advised" user mean if you are a linux OS user

#

i would take internship over this.. this aint swe

#

yah I would take internship

#

it wont even count towards SWE YOE

Do you know the intern conversion rate for SoFi?

I'd be more inclined towards SoFi, but I can afford it even if it doesn't result in a return offer. Not everyone can though.

#

I mean Google internship vs Accenture FT

#

yeah

distant pebble
#

i think internship at good company, usually higher ev than just ft at meh company

shadow pecan
#

it technically is when it comes to promotions however it takes time for it to settle in

#

wait why am i here

distant pebble
#

i mean i think it depends tho, like good internships usually pay more and also can help raise ur floor when looking at stuff like new grad salary

shut crescent
#

in this type of market hell yeah

distant pebble
#

i think international is bit diff cuz cant be picky for hb1 visa

shadow pecan
#

there's defense contractors

#

which pay better than accenture and are not bad

distant pebble
#

gothca
im prob a bit biased tho cuz im in rel privileged position rn

shadow pecan
#

true

distant pebble
#

i think international is just rough in general cuz a lot of smaller companies r prob not willing to sponsor

#

yeah, i got an offer for oliver wyman this summer and they paid rel well and seemed to decent comp ft

teal jackal

i think the work pays well but def less interesting imo, same w investment banking

@woven folio what do u think are these strong or mid

#

do u really think meng is worth it though

#

i dont want to pay rent in LA lmfao

#

oh

#

idk if i want a MBA

#

im wondering if it'll make my applications stronger to big tech tho

#

mscs will be way more worth prob huh

#

big tech loves research i heard

jaunty basalt
#

Idt that even matters

#

Is that even what they want

shut crescent
#

yeah

#

most people say MS is a waste of money/time

#

it barely helps

#

i think it would be worth if i didnt have a job or wasnt building experience somehow

#

ig we'll see in the future, if my company pays for it then ill do it

#

werent u doing pretty good before the uiuc masters tho

#

or no jobs lined up?

#

oh lol

#

how long do letters of rec stay valid btw?

#

some are saying up to 5 years is that true?

I read some reddit post MSCS is pretty much cash cow for unis.

Well, its bit of generalization to say that all the MS is cash cow program, but mostly MS is a way of getting F1 visa with CPT/OPT to work in hopes of getting H1B for many intl students ngl.

I'm just going to work at Walmart fulltime and work on projects and leetcode until it's my time to get a job

#

this is so discouraging

brave forge
#

do night shift for more pay

rain patio
#

ewwww no way

brave forge
#

you know walmart would have given you free CS university

rain patio
#

And probably only online universities

brave forge
#

ya online only. they do it at the uni i go to SNHU, i know people on the student discord that get it fully free from walmart

dusky tapir
#

Y’all do this test so far@rain patio is the highest iq with an iq of 144

brave forge
#

Doesn't mean the degree is any worse though. Companies accept it just as much as a normal uni and nobody even knows it's online since there is a campus

#

plz ngmi this is a CS server the avg IQ of one of us is very low

rain patio
#

pretty sure i got like 87 on one exam xd

#

@dusky tapir bruh ur name 💀

#

but it was an online exam copium

#

the future is working at walmart 😭

#

I worked at walmart to pay for college. And now I'm going back there to pay for rent and food 😭

dusky tapir
#

It’s not fake bro the people who made it are legit. It doesn’t test verbal iq so chances are your verbal is lower but your nonverbal is very likely high af. And that’s ok because verbal iq isn’t as important in comp sci

rain patio
#

which one, the mensa?

#

tbh, $15/hr in a low cost of living area isn't so bad

brave forge
#

bruh

#

id rather just grind projects and work on LC and interview hard then go back to working manual jobs

#

at least im good at code. I'll get a job eventually for sure

#

but in some bad scenario where i can't land a CS job, ya id take walmart just to keep my finances afloat

dusky tapir
brave forge
#

fast food is the worst for low pay, unless your like the delivery door person but even then i think they swap roles

#

you have to stand in a greasy kitchen all day around food and deal with customers. it's like retail but even worse working conditions for the same bad pay

#

idk why you'd pick fast food over retail or warehouse work tbh

rain patio
#

yeah walmart goated

#

I just put boxes on shelves for 8 hours and get paid well

#

it's not CS level pay, but at least I don't have to train outside work hours or some bs to prove i'm worthy of working in the industry

#

man i hate how competitive cs is

brave forge
#

im okay with it it isn't that competitive lol

#

they just check if your competent enough to work on a team and code at a lot of companies. Your not being ranked on a heirachy and have to hit #1 on the leaderboard before they hire you

No project is relevant to a recruiter or company if it's not in production

brave forge
sturdy aurora

Yes

#

exactly

rain patio
#

So a CS degree with no experience means i'm doomed

brave forge
# sturdy aurora Yes

at that point you might as well not even have a project section if no user base, is that what your saying?

sturdy aurora
#

yes

nova coyote
#

anyone preparing for this fall recruiting season

sturdy aurora
#

if you have a small user base and they can access it, good

#

if they can't, they really can't care less

#

or if there's no evidence online

brave forge
#

will they find it weird if i leave out a project section

sturdy aurora
#

Use your project section for buzz words

#

and showing familiarity with a language

#

it's relevant for internships

#

because they still expect you to be in school

#

for FTE nobody cares

rain patio

So how do I even get past the resume screen?

sturdy aurora

I'm so angry. All the peoppe currently in the industry dont know how good they have it.

"Just keep applying bro! You'll get a job it's easy!"

I just got decent at leetcode, applied for 7 months before I finally landed some offers

There’s not really a secret, just get your resume reviewed, put your best projects on there and start spamming

Get referrals if you can but they didn’t help at all for me tbh

dusky tapir
#

Is there a Kyle in here who took the test? Pm me

fossil jewel
#

anything more than 250 and still struggling with assessments/technicals is due to actually not understanding concepts/communication maybe?

Kind of a silly question but do I qualify for NG if I am like one thesis away from finishing?

dusky tapir

You can apply to whatever position you want no one’s gonna punish you for applying

brave forge

na i heard you can get a jail sentence for that

At that point, you’d get more value out of practicing behaviorals and how to communicate during the technical.

Honestly, I think those were a fluke lol. I have no experience and kinda meh projects on my resume. At each of the 3 interviews I got, they asked if I had any professional experience lol. Did they even read my resume? I never made it past the first round for any of those interviews because I don't have any actual experience...
