Maybe you’ll pass more screens as a junior

No need for colors in resume imo

lyric siren

#

this is ass (for someone at MIT)

lyric siren
#

also what is the debate on tech skills at the top or bottom

#

what to do

#

does ts matter

low gorge
#

the unicorn not unknown bro 😭 πŸ™

willow nexus
lyric siren
#

hes trolling bro stop

spice fog
#

this is an average loo (MIT of the north) resume

willow nexus
#

Your experience is the mkst important part of the res imo

#

You want people reading that first

willow nexus

#

@minor spear do you know any current freshman at mit?

low gorge
#

@minor spear ur projects are all lowk a bit mid imo

lyric siren
#

@minor spear what is the unicorn

low gorge
#

i think they all need rework

#

fullstack is the mark of the ngmi

#

don't do it

#

fullsend some very specific technical thing

#

and go rly deep there

#

for each

lyric siren
spice fog
#

yes

#

your already above the curve of ngmi roles

low gorge
#

yes

spice fog
#

you'd be interviewed on pure merit

#

MIT + QT at top 5

low gorge
#

i put a nuclear reactor and an FPGA project and an ICML paper on my projects section and i passed all FAANG screens

#

none of it was relevant lmao

#

u just need to aura farm with projects

mint hemlock
#

wtf is a nuclear reactor

low gorge
spice fog
#

ya, like the reviewer does not need to guess you know full stack lol

mint hemlock
#

oh like hardware ok

spice fog
#

yield protection

low gorge
#

the real answer is it's probably rng bro

spice fog
#

πŸ’€

mint hemlock
low gorge
#

and yield protect

low gorge
mint hemlock
#

are your projects just like 1 line

low gorge
#

ye

mint hemlock
#

mm ok

low gorge
#

dont need more than 1

#

the title alone is enough to aura farm

spice fog
#

im guessing the prev QT signals your returning to QT

#

so yield protect

#

that was just rng

low gorge
#

MIT actually does quite badly for most tech roles btw

#

its weird

mint hemlock
#

like shouldnt rezzys be easy to read for the recruiter

low gorge
#

its lowk crazy

#

google hiring a ton tho

spice fog
#

crazy trend if true

low gorge
#

just work google cambridge office

mint hemlock
#

would c1 as a junior be looked down upon at mit

#

think i saw some dude

mint hemlock
#

with a mit 2026 quarterzip

willow nexus
merry sentinel
#

in hs

low gorge
merry sentinel
#

spice fog
low gorge
#

spice fog
#

he also said he noticed MIT and big tech thing

#

so πŸ€·β€β™‚οΈ

mint hemlock
#

why dont big tech fw mit?

low gorge
#

@minor spear lowk reapply with umass amherst instead of MIT

#

i guarantee you get zon and msft offers

#

easy

mint hemlock
#

just put harvard no and say dual enroll

lyric siren
#

msft doesn’t verify?

low gorge
#

they do

lyric siren
#

no like i wouldn’t be surprised

#

if amazon

#

let u lie about ur college

#

and get away

merry sentinel
lyric siren

merry sentinel

merry sentinel
#

merry sentinel
#

i also got 1k for a tapeout

low gorge

my school got like 0 money for funding bruh

#

its tragic

merry sentinel
#

idk why the other ppl here aren't just taking the infinite free money

low gorge

merry sentinel

#

πŸ˜‚ 4.8 at MIT, putnam t250, usamo, usapho semi, usamts gold
t1 quant as QT, unicorn as SWE, research at probably a certain t20

#

yeah bro what more is there to do

merry sentinel
#

andrew the philanthropist

merry sentinel
#

been considering it

mint hemlock
merry sentinel
#

so true

low gorge
#

thoughts chat?

merry sentinel
hot osprey
#

amazon should be sending this guy offers through linkedin dms

low gorge
#

justice for my bro

hot osprey
#

going to amazon

#

would be like

#

a surprising downgrade

merry sentinel
hot osprey
#

are both of the labs at the t20 i think it is or is one at mit

#

cuz if u have csail it has to be yield

#

huh

#

maybe move skils to bottom

merry sentinel
#

i might do this too tbh

#

my phd app isn't good enough

#

need to lock in on research

hot osprey
#

trump cuts mostly affect natural scienes

#

i thought

#

cuz thats where most of the grant money was

merry sentinel
#

yeah think so, none of my labs lost funding idt

#

there's hella money in defense still

#

i'm ee

hot osprey
#

is there a reason ur resume is in red

merry sentinel
#

my medtech lab lost some funding actually

hot osprey
#

yea

merry sentinel
#

i forgot

hot osprey
#

friend does deep learning at a med school lab and they got gutted

golden totem
#

probably yield protection tbh

hot osprey
#

skull

golden totem
#

mickey companies less likely to bother with quants

hot osprey
#

@minor spear have u applied to any quant firms

#

this cycle

#

or gotten RO

merry sentinel
low gorge
#

@minor spear have u applied my firm yet

#

ye uhhh

#

they a bit close to hc i fear

#

no one rejected offers so far

#

our QR class is giga cracked lmao

low gorge
gloomy talon
#

andrew you're drw yeah?

low gorge
#

LOL

hot osprey
#

mfs be laughing at drw

#

😭

fickle jetty
#

dont u also have an internship 😭

#

locked in af

low gorge
fickle jetty
#

makes sense

#

is ur current internship not going well or something i thought they traditionally take sophomores

spice fog
#

me to twin

#

when do we actually research?

#

god knows

hot osprey
#

in ur second to last project are you cramming two 1 line bullet points in one 3 line bullet point? not sure the utility on that

#

like it looks like two full sentences in one bullet point

fickle jetty
#

makes sense

merry sentinel
fickle jetty
#

Ive heard it can be a bit harder to go back from trading -> tech

#

but i think amazon and meta are a lot of RNG its just a numbers game

hot osprey
#

yea u could probably split that into two 1 liners, same with the last proj, seems to be two sentences crammed in one but its 2 lines anyways so its just harder to read

fickle jetty
#

mhm and there will be unironically 5000 amazon soph interns who all want meta lol

#

yeah i feel like once u get ok at leetcode there isnt much u can do for recruiting

#

other than like appl

#

y

hot osprey
#

cluely will throw stacks at u

#

πŸ˜›

golden totem
#

lmao imagine joining Chungin "Roy" Lee's startup

hot osprey
sharp shoal
#

the bullet for project 2 is too long, prob should split it up into 2

fickle jetty
#

yeah i agree but u just have to keep applying

#

i also emailed recruiters when i could

hot osprey
#

they should be emailing him bruh

golden totem
#

ive noticed some places looking at linkedins more

#

like ill see people view my linkedin profile and then not follow up with me

merry sentinel
gloomy talon
#

me at hrt πŸ₯€

merry sentinel
#

didn't they bring in some really cracked people too

golden totem
#

idk what people are looking at when they view linkedin tho

low gorge
#

the hiring is super racist lol

sharp shoal
#

u guys really think cluely is gonna make it far?

merry sentinel
#

i'm lowkey rooting for cluely, i need more bci employers

low gorge
#

surprised they havent gotten a call from the labor board

hot osprey
#

cluely offer guide:

  1. be asian (required)
  2. have 100k followers (preferred)
merry sentinel
low gorge
#

theyve hired like one non-southeast asian dude

golden totem
#

i mean WITCH companies are like almost entirely indian

#

they are still going

low gorge
#

and its basically slave labor

#

cluely is cooked i fear

#

but it will take a while

merry sentinel
golden totem
#

i think it would be hard to beat a cluely offer if they decide to suck it up and offer someone founding eng

#

but i know people who are already making more than cluely people

gloomy talon
#

their real strength is just marketing

frank ledge
#

larp

low gorge
sharp shoal
frank ledge
hot osprey
#

i mean ppl kept saying cluely will never make it but they got 15mil

gloomy talon

hot osprey

#

πŸ˜›

#

aura

#

chills

low gorge
#

so yes

merry sentinel
#

damn @minor spear ur res thread got to almost a 3rd of yeemas within 1 hr

#

orz

hot osprey
#

he will never overthrow our goat yeema

gloomy talon
molten shoal
#

so like i dont have too much to say abt this one

#

it's quite good

#

i think main thing is prob just chuck skills section to the bottom cos nobody really reads that stuff

#

and maybe remove some of the elementary coursework that isn't super relevant to either quant or tech (intro algos, fundamentals)

#

ohhhhhhh

#

i feel like personally u have olys to make up for it

#

like i feel like if ur usamo + putnam + usaco gold its like

#

i would assume ur prob chilling ofr algs

#

but i also have more context than the avg recuriter maybe

#

i thought neither quant nor swe rly look at that stuff

#

its msotly for ATS/keyword spam

#

afaik SWE places care more about the experiences

#

im surprised that u didnt rly get that many swe stuff even w mit... damn....

#

my intuition (from the mit ppl at my current) is that it sounds like u might be able to get connected to some craacked af startups through networking there

#

not sure

#

and that might let u sidestep resume spam entirely

#

on the other hand, do big techs rly care about algs that much?

#

oh huh interesting

#

i would've thought having olys would make up for that already

#

lemme check my resume

#

lowkey that might be the play

#

and startup sounds like a really cool exp

#

i get some startup stuff but honestly idt i rly have the behavioural skills for those lol

golden totem
#

depends on the startup IMO

#

very early stage can be 6 or 7 days a week working

molten shoal
#

me too tbh

#

back now :p

#

have to do one more thing but it's already 1am so ill just do it tmr

molten shoal
#

i think i just need to chill out

#

like im at emerg levels of not chilling lol

#

need that amergency coolant

#

(i feel like ocne it gets to the point where its impacting ur work and enjoyment thats bad)

#

then that ends up reflecting negatively on u -> vicious cycle

golden totem
#

sometimes quant after leaving hard to say where those people go after

#

i know a guy in trading who, if he ever left or got fired he probably would just retire

hot osprey
#

my school doesnt have a dsa course

#

like

#

we have algorithms as required but a hardcore data structures course is not mandated

molten shoal
#

i think ds == a / whatever

#

~

#

same tbh

#

i feel like i stumble over conversations w like

#

hr and upper leadership

#

all the time

#

like i cant helpe but feel like im giving a bad imp

#

:(((
