# obsidian crater for ng

Ya I mean I think my return offer is as good as secured with them. You have to perform extremely bad not to get return offered, like the only person they didn’t give an offer last year was someone that spent the whole intern learning coding basics. Soo since I’ve been pushing code constantly they shouldn’t have any issues doing a return.

compact sundial
prisma flax
#

U got spacex right?

#

woah ur passionate about MLE than go for it

#

and ask them to match and near the comp u get with spacex

#

true but never know when spacex gonna do IPO

#

what role u got in spacex?

#

focused ?

#

ur passionate about MLE and I wouldn't think about spacex ipo tho, there are many things that comes into play

#

how many years does it take to vest? do the math and consider the trajoctory

#

if u feel that's too much to loose or potential to loose than drop the other

#

very difficult

#

that's a lot of money on table

brave forge
#

So do you guys keep your course list on your resume or not? I've seen a lot of people say it's pointless because everyone already knows what courses a CS major takes

obsidian crater
#

I do not

#

Cause most places don't care at all

brave forge
#

Ya im not doing it and it's not part of jakes resume, just checking. I did 0 special courses that weren't required so i have nothing to write about anyway

google's time to layoff more people

south sable
#

Will probably take it off once I do

cloud zinc
#

I wish for google to go under because of this

brave forge
#

but how will i ever get google on my resume if google file for bankruptcy

cloud zinc
#

I know they won't but one can dream

cloud zinc
#

south sable
#

they probably have good lawyers so unlikely

obsidian crater
#

big corps don't lose ever

brave forge
#

google seems to be doing a lot of losing lately though

#

their AI is behind

obsidian crater

Yeah google is taking many Ls lately

Soo I wrote up my latest resume, what do you guys think about it? It looks a little short, not sure if I should add more bullet points about my work experience and new projects. I should have more to say about my current job soon, I'm just barely 4 weeks into it.

south sable
obsidian crater
#

That's copium

south sable
obsidian crater
#

I mean

#

He just said that

south sable
#

Ehhhhh true

wraith yew
#

If one doesnt have any relevant experience should they just put projects on their resume?

vital meteor
#

What else would you put

wraith yew
#

irrelevant experience

pastel bane
#

do u mainly do CRUD things in big-n?

bold pier
#

Most systems in the world are CRUD, but each of the C R U or D process can get really complicated given certain functional and non-functional requirements like security, availability, scaling, latency, business logic, compliance, etc. Hence it's important to be good with fundamentals of CS before doing anything else.

#

Hey... Is anybody joining/joined millennium management or know of someone who will be. Please DM

swift falcon
#

at what point do we bypass the recruiter and talk directly to the company for updates?

#

I've msgd them twice in last 2 weeks and no updates

rain patio
#

I agree bruh, aws is just one big post request

wispy mason
#

Are there any stem ngos that don't require money but will file for opt? 😭

pastel bane
#

if degrees are not that important, which means everyone can do it, then what makes you safe as a SWE?

pine topaz
#

can you?

timber rock
#

Whoever says the degree isn’t important is just straight up wrong

#

It’s not that important once you get in and get some yoe but to actually get to that point is much easier with a degree

wind drum
#

most ppl do not have the discipline and drive to teach themselves to code at like an swe level

rain patio
#

Nah it's over, y'all shoulda went to med school

#

More prestige

timber rock
#

I live in the uk our junior doctors are on food stamps at this point

obsidian crater
#

why

pine topaz
pine topaz
lunar hatch
#

Did akuna just lay off again

#

Saw a few folks on LI

timber rock
#

First year junior doctor makes less than 30k

pine topaz
#

mcdonalds money

obsidian crater
#

lol Akuna has bad glassdoor reviews

obsidian crater
#

that's minimum wage in New York State

#

$15/hr at 40 hours a week for 52 weeks a year is $31200

pine topaz
#

how do people do it

obsidian crater
#

in poverty

pine topaz
obsidian crater
#

Get roommates

#

If you're earning $15/hr

#

you probably need to work 70-80 hours a week

#

lol

pine topaz
#

yeah 80 hour weeks

#

i can udnerstnad 70k is survivable

obsidian crater
#

my friend does it

#

but this man works 80-100 hours a week

#

at a gas station

pine topaz
#

but 30k is like so close to homelssness

obsidian crater
#

it's nuts

pine topaz
obsidian crater
#

why are doctor salaries so bad in the UK

#

NHS running out of monies?

pine topaz
#

30k is like 1 accident away from homelessness andopiuma ddiciton

timber rock
#

Idk what that is by you’re generally a junior doctor for at least 5 years, I think the average is like 10 years

#

Was trying to reply to this lol

obsidian crater
timber rock
#

The salary increases every year so it’s not always that bad

#

But at the start it is just awful for how much they work

obsidian crater
#

In Foundation training, you will earn a basic salary of £29,384 to £34,012 (from 1 April 2022).
skull4k

pine topaz
#

its okay, we will join the homeless population in this upcoming recesion

#

obsidian crater
#

#

3-10+ years depending on your specialty

pine topaz
obsidian crater

Use google job search it pulls up jobs way better then LinkedIn and stuff

south sable
#

he got bars

nimble wren
#

does Garmin focus on GPA a lot

brave forge
#

When I interviewed they ask u to upload transcripts

#

Official ones from recent date

nimble wren
#

would a 3.4 get rejected then

#

and do you know if a referral bypasses that

wraith yew
#

ayee

#

3.4 gang

brave forge
nimble wren
#

what if i say in the application that I can land a varial heelflip

#

would that help

south sable
#

A referral is pretty much someone vouching that you can

swe

nimble wren
#

just swe 1?

marble ivy
#

ye

nimble wren
#

what the hell bruh

marble ivy
#

Ya so i doubt gpa matters just apply, its random

nimble wren
#

was it an embedded c/c++ position

marble ivy
#

Na just swe 1

#

swift

nimble wren
#

Ah

obsidian crater
#

weird

#

they reject me everytime

nimble wren
#

There's a spring boot role open in my city that I'm tryna get cuz that's what I do at my internship but i have a 3.4 lmao

obsidian crater
#

even if I'm above their GPA

nimble wren
#

it just says above 3.0 tho

#

"excellent academics"

marble ivy
#

is spring boot easy to learn? i got a job offer at a company that required 2 years of spring boot and i don’t even know it

#

i’ve never used it

nimble wren
#

lmao i don't know shit about it

#

it seems very robust tho

#

yea i don't know any of that i've just used java in school and that was enough to land an internship

marble ivy
#

fair enough, i also don’t know java that well 🤣

obsidian crater
#

Spring boot is hard

#

I tried learning it and it was very confusing

nimble wren
#

yea i personally don't like it very much

obsidian crater
#

It's got much more in it than your typical node/flask stuff

#
  • it has the burden of Java
nimble wren
#

node is easier to understand

obsidian crater
#

So you have to learn all the Java ecosystem stuff

marble ivy
#

i don’t even know node

obsidian crater
#

Like Beans, Jar, War, Maven, POJOs, Tomcat, Netty et al

#

I personally don't like Spring at all, if the company wasn't boomer they'd use Kotlin + Play

timber rock
#

i prefer summer

#

nicer weather

obsidian crater
#

most of AWS is Java

#

So it makes sense

nimble wren
#

yea i work on a giant enterprise backend codebase that is so god damn confusing with spring boot

obsidian crater
#

I dislike all those annotations

#

Feels like I have to keep looking up everything

nimble wren

#

if he was getting responses from all the big tech companies

#

literally just failed all the OAs/technicals

#

#

graduated bachelors in 2021

#

masters in 2023

south sable
#

I'm trying my hardest - don't doubt that

#

This is a good time as any to mention my resume if any one wants to roast it

autumn iris
timber rock

probably others

brave forge
obsidian crater

I did that lol

brave forge

In my opinion I’d always recommend anyone because there’s no downside to me but a lot of upside

so hopefully market is getting better idk

autumn iris
autumn iris
#

wtf

graceful sigil
#

how long do the 2024 places take to decide on offers anyway, like do they process apps as they come in and just give u a start date months down the line or do they wait a while to start eliminating people

obsidian crater
#

I went to a career fair

#

only defense showed up for tech

what's your ms in?

autumn iris
#

like less than 1% of master students actually do thesis

#

even if its offered

obsidian crater
#

cs?

Bioinformatics

obsidian crater
#

top uni?

autumn iris
#

uh at georgia tech

#

my prof is in the CSE department though

obsidian crater
#

ok so top uni

dire carbon
#

how was life as graduate

obsidian crater
#

go apply to DE Shaw

dire carbon
#

bro you're smart

#

my sis went to that uni

autumn iris
#

i do research in ML for bio stuff

#

but more on algos side

timber rock
#

I took bioinf in 4th year that class was wild

#

I understood like 10%

obsidian crater
#

I have a feeling Alterium is smart af

autumn iris
#

uh im mainly focusing on DS

obsidian crater
#

But he doesn't reveal it

autumn iris
#

all my courses are stats/CSE related

timber rock
obsidian crater
#

respect

autumn iris
#

but i been just grinding leetcode

timber rock
#

I mean I think I’m alright but I put negative effort in to uni

autumn iris
dire carbon
#

also thinking about doing masters but kinda unsure if I can get that degree

autumn iris
#

grad school is alright

#

idk, just more work

obsidian crater
#

I want to go to grad school

dire carbon
#

said top tier person

obsidian crater
#

But only if I can get into a top school

autumn iris
timber rock
#

I graduate next week with like a 3.0 or less equivalent lol

autumn iris
#

wat even is

#

top tier

obsidian crater
#

I'd say top 20 school

#

For US

#

GA Tech is #8

dire carbon
#

yeahh

autumn iris
#

only thing is that material in courses is just time-consuming

obsidian crater
#

how do I get into CMU

#

with a 3.1

AWS takes so much time

#

13 videos to get through 2%

bold pier
#

Dafaq, you watching AWS documentry or what

autumn iris
#

basically

#

u just go through cantrill AWS courses

#

they make u create AWS accounts to do labs

#

yeah

#

its super time consuming though

bold pier
#

Not a single AWS course I didn't get bored out of my mind 30% through. Just build something :3

autumn iris
#

idk, my plan is to finish these courses throughout july

#

do 1 project

#

and apply to jobs

#

i graduate in december

#

field

#

thats not my degree

#

data science degrees r a scam

#

data science yeah

obsidian crater
#

DS

bold pier
#

I think he meant data structures

autumn iris
#

bioinformatics

#

i dont qualify for any bioinformatics job

#

or DE

#

all my courses are stat based or CSE

#

gib interview

#

yah

#

no

#

main reason im doing it cause

#

it's free/cheap cause i got GRA

#

and covid graduates sucked

#

idk depends on wat u focused on

#

its super broad

#

data scientist

#

usually

#

or bioinformatic scientist

#

u just do DS on bio sht

bold pier
#

Biodeez nuts

autumn iris
obsidian crater
#

apply to DE Shaw mane

#

They want bioinformatics people

#

DE Shaw the guy quit his quant CEO job to pursue full time bio research

#

Man is a legend

autumn iris
#

i want money

#

bioinformatics= less money

obsidian crater
#

no

#

they pay 300K

autumn iris
#

or anything with the word bio in it

obsidian crater
#

DE Shaw's bio research thing

#

Pays 300K lol

autumn iris
obsidian crater
autumn iris
#

idk im applying to tech related jobs mainly

#

bioinfomatics is like

#

kinda capped unless u have a phd

obsidian crater
#

it's literally a data engineer job lol

autumn iris
timber rock
#

it’s more data science than data eng

autumn iris

im not applying to DE

#

data scientists

also my capstone is cloud sht/aws related anyways

bold pier
#

low or high?

#

Am I supposed to have ego?

obsidian crater
#

just don't be astro

#

you'll be fine

timber rock
#

you can imagine what it was like

autumn iris
#

network biology

obsidian crater
#

Idk what that is but looks like easy job for DN engineers

bold pier
#

I'll do anything as long as they don't keep me beyond 5 PM.

btw wat kind of place even gives

#

essay assignments

lmao

obsidian crater

lol

palantir internship lol, bro no way i wouldnt chat gpt this bs cmon cuh

timber rock
#

palantir loves their essays

autumn iris
#

i thought u graduated

graceful sigil
#

yeah idk im thinking about trying grad school, my schools apps close in 3 days lol

#

i dont have any internships but now that im healthy i could do some if i was in grad school

autumn iris
#

dont do grad school unless u have a good enough reason to do it

graceful sigil
#

i had chronic health shit all thru college

#

so no internships

#

at all

obsidian crater
#

I want a greyhound

graceful sigil
#

bro poeple i have no idea when ill be able to get a job, idk at this point masters plus internships would prob make up the money if i am able to get a decent job after

timber rock
#

i used to have a whippet

autumn iris
#

if its instate and cheap

timber rock
#

mini greyhound

autumn iris
#

then i guess its fine

#

online masters r bad though

obsidian crater
#

long snoot

autumn iris
#

depends on uni, but generally

#

graduation rate is super low

#

like gatech one is cheap but most people only take 1-2 classes a semester

#

and generally they are all

#

recorded videos

#

thats fine

#

i meant for people

#

who aren't doing anything

#

like staying home and doing online masters

#

is bad

rain patio
#

Me after 1927837121374319841 rejections:

autumn iris
#

most people quit the masters though

#

gatech is super cheap n have a lot of people employed but

#

graduation rate is like

#

15%

#

lmao

marble ivy
#

my team was in the minority maybe that’s why we got laid off

timber rock
#

wouldn’t be able to answer any except maybe 3 lol

obsidian crater
#

I can do #2 and #3

marble ivy
#

these 3 questions aren’t even related, they r all diff fields, backend, data science, cyber

timber rock
#

I know what training is in ml but saying “mathematically” and “pytorch” would throw me off

marble ivy
#

what kind of companies ask questions like this? i’ve never been asked anything like that

obsidian crater
#

Usually "training" means finding optimal weights

#

Pytorch is used to build Neural networks

rain patio
#

a masters lowkey is negative EV

obsidian crater
#

So it's usually finding the weight values for each "cell" in the network

rain patio
#

if you wanna do research just get a phd

obsidian crater
#

For an NN, usually involves some kind of backtracking algorithm

#

backpropogation iirc

#

for eh MLPs

rain patio
#

yea if you get paid for it, do it

marble ivy
#

if u have a masters u can directly apply to AVP positions at banks

obsidian crater
#

multilayer perceptrons

#

oh I can do that

#

it calculates weights by passing forward and backwards essentially

#

could answer better if I knew I was interviewing for an ML position to be fair

#

cause I don't remember all the formulae on top of my head

#

what

#

odd questions for embedded

#

ah

#

I guess they can ask

#

If it's on your resume

rain patio
#

online part time masters while working is W

timber rock
#

Yea I hate when they just ask random trivia from a topic on your resume

obsidian crater
#

hmm

#

How does he want an ELI5

#

But also a detailed answer

fallen fox
#

shouldve asked him to rope

obsidian crater
#

hmm

#

yeah tuff

autumn iris
#

yeah this is me

#

the only people who can actually answer it

#

is maybe MLE

#

is this a machine learning engineer role?

#

okay

#

thats

#

ur fault

#

if you put anything ML related on ur resume

#

they can ask you anything about it

#

if you put u make a neural network on some random data set

#

they will ask you about backpropogation

#

cause its like the most important thing

#

i also wouldn't put ML on ur resume unless ur applying to ML specific stuff

#

unless u wanna be asked stats

#

yeah

#

thats ur fault

#

u wouldn't even want to use a classical RNN anyways

#

unless u made a LSTM

#

u never use RNN for anything because of

#

exploding and vanishing gradient issue

#

LSTM was made to fix the issues of RNNs

#

like if you tried scaling an RNN

#

it'll basically blow up

#

and ur result is sht

#

RNN -> LSTM -> transformers

#

yeah

#

but they can ask u anything about ML

#

since u put that

#

idk i feel like

#

u should be able to BS something

#

if they ask u something related to it

#

i can't say cause i already know that PepeLaugh

#

apply to marketing jobs

#

ez

#

gitgud

#

idk just google it until u know enough about it

#

thats wat i usually do

#

LSTMs can be a lil tricky though, esp if u put that on ur resume

#

uh

#

like chat-gpt is blowing up

#

but chat-gpt is basically a transformer ML model

#

and transformer ML model came from LSTM

#

and LSTM came from RNN

#

RNN came from nn

#

none

tawdry snow
#

Wait kinda related

#

I got a master's in AI

#

But I get so few mle call backs

#

Do I need to do some bullshit to prove I know normal swe stuff?

#

Like data base and back end stuff?

autumn iris
#

wat did u learn in a masters in AI

tawdry snow
#

(my understand was electrical)

autumn iris
#

MLE = MLOps

#

ur just a glorified SWE basically

tawdry snow
#

Deep net architectures, statistics, physics for CV, sensor stuff for CV, physics simulations for robotics, reimbursement learning

autumn iris
#

isn't this just

#

robatics

tawdry snow
#

Sure

autumn iris
#

none of that has to do with MLE

tawdry snow
#

So then what the fuck is MLE

autumn iris
#

deploying ML models that other data scientists made

#

on cloud

tawdry snow
#

Yuck

#

So should I be looking at data science then, if I want to make models for not robots?

autumn iris
#

uh
