think you should move education to the top

#

way too much whitespace

#

see if you can quantify more

#

maybe change your bullets up?

#

like it seems very technical rn

#

recruiter won't know what any of it means

#

add a line explaining in brief what your work is about and compress the rest of the bullets

#

whole thing

#

so many lines where they end in the first 30%

#

change the points

#

shorten them

#

too good

#

add it

#

idk I'm hoping it is

#

mines similar

undone delta
#

it's hard

#

I wouldn't say no

#

but low chance

rustic basin
undone delta

undone delta

rustic basin
#

#

us is borderline impossible imo

#

aus u can do

#

they'll need to sponsor u

#

unless ur really good its tough

undone delta
#

try to have more experiecne

#

#

if you do, then it carries your resume

rustic basin
#

#

big tech intern? possible. big tech ng? little to no chance

rustic basin
#

no way

#

wtf

honest anchor
#

holy

#

oh wait its aus dollars

#

that like $1.50 american

rustic basin
honest anchor
#

yeah

rustic basin
honest anchor
#

most big tech dont care about tiktok ngl

rustic basin
honest anchor
#

what work did you do at tiktok

#

kinda dictates relevance

#

generally the skillset isnt all that desirable

#

thats transferable

#

just not particularly strong

#

tiktok isnt really known for any strong skillsets outside like reccomendation engines

#

if you arent on that team

#

they generally dgaf

honest anchor
#

what big tech are you aiming for exactly

rustic basin
#

any

honest anchor
#

cant be a generalist, but if youre working as SDET and your other experience is data science

rustic basin
#

I'll pivot later

#

if necessary

honest anchor
#

youre better off targeting mid tier companies and getting specialized in something then going to big tech

#

getting to big tech as a generalist is rare

#

cause theyll hire someone with like 5 internships all in the same spot

#

skill wise

honest anchor
rustic basin
#

whys that

honest anchor
#

you should know what you want to work in and which company fits that

rustic basin
#

google

#

(i ain't getting google)

honest anchor
#

i.e. if you have no interest in product or design, apple is generally not for you unless you want to work in an ai initiative

#

why google

#

if you cant answer that with a skillset or focus in mind

#

wrong choice

rustic basin
#

i like the products

honest anchor
#

which ones, why, how do you contribute

rustic basin
#

would like to contribute

honest anchor
#

internships are totally possible as a generalist btw

#

im talking ng rn

#

internships are a coin toss after screening

rustic basin
#

i wanna do agentic

honest anchor
#

better have solid experience if youre an undergrad then

rustic basin
#

whats midtech

#

examples

honest anchor
#

software at companies that arent like pure software based or purse software companies that dont have crazy users

#

i.e. like cisco for a software example

#

rokt is a good one

#

its just enterprise stuff

#

not cutting edge

#

not very transferable for the most part

#

size wise and user wise

#

its midtech

rustic basin
#

honest

#

i just want zon

honest anchor
#

its also pure software so still stronger than relevant skills at a company that isnt software based

honest anchor
rustic basin
#

because i bombed a zon interview earlier this year

honest anchor
#

technical?

rustic basin
#

yea

honest anchor
#

bro

#

how

rustic basin
#

amazon

honest anchor
#

do a project that focuses on your area of interest, emphasize relevant skills, network

#

totally reachable

honest anchor
#

zon is the easiest faang other than apple for screens

#

maybe netflix for data roles

rustic basin
#

that's why I'm not applying to unicorns lmao

#

I'm not good at dsa

honest anchor
#

mid or big?

honest anchor
rustic basin
#

just done bare minimum

honest anchor
#

dont need to grind, just work on pattern recognition

#

neetcode 150

#

then like 1-2 probs a day and more when you have interviews coming up

#

most are just medium level lc

#

maybe a sys design if its a more complex role

#

mid wise for infra i'd say hashicorp and like cloudfare are good recognition

#

big tech would be like stripe otherwise aws and google basically

#

if you can get into snowflake or databricks your career is set

#

but it is really hard

#

swe at hft or like qd

rustic basin
honest anchor
#

then yeah itll just be more focus on latency and concurrency

rustic basin
#

but i got the fucking

honest anchor
#

all 150?

rustic basin
#

and advanced graph

honest anchor
#

more than me, mustve gotten some dumb question

rustic basin
#

k group reversal

#

😔

#

i hadn't done hards at that point

honest anchor
#

reversing nodes in a k group?

rustic basin
#

even now I'll choke it

rustic basin
#

insane

#

need to lock in bro

#

i think I'm fine with most except dp

#

dp throwing me off

#

I've done

#

but can't replicate

#

need to practice

#

is db a unicorn

#

that's too good

#

thanks

#

I'll have a look

honest anchor
#

referrals matter for you guys?

#

most big tech dont really value them

#

here at least

#

ah
