yeah they are bro 💔
bro
im not gonna try and prove to you im a freshman but trust me I am an incoming freshman 😭
I just went to a competitive hs
youd be surprised how smart middle schoolers are now, the ones I taught all compete in CTFs and know a pretty standard understanding of many ctf categories
😭 well clearly not because I havent gotten any responses yet besides auto OAs
Fuck this dude bro
as if the FAANG SWE intern at age 16 wasn’t already not believable enough
50 is nothing
bro why not, theres ppl doing fucking codeforces and getting good at usaco in middle school why cant they learn cyber 😭
it wasnt a faang internship, I said it was at a company that was somewhat compareable to faang
also that experience was a bit larp because I actually interned at a SWE consulting firm and the client I was assigned to was this massive company-- I mention both the client and my actual company on my resume
to prevent getting doxxed
lowkey pretty easy to get doxxed regardless though
yeah but my school is massive so
yeah but like lowkey having two identifiers is prob enough to doxx p easily
no worries, thanks for the input ill try to make my bullets more specific
😭
yeah mf probably a cf GM
slide the cf method Im so ass at comp programming I peaked usaco silver
I needa get into icpc or some shit in college
Nah imma vouch for you king
I did the same shit
yessir
yo I remember u from a2c
😭
im gonna leave this server in a year bro
I cant do ts anymore
yeah lowkey
I aint even apply bruh I fucking forgot
I applied to zon
with referral
just waiting now
yuh
Yeah I remember you too bro😭
shi bruh
I was not aware of this
I will note that
wait nah i dont send him shit
I just use the stuff
he posts
where can I find the underground internship info then I need more niche sources
😭
shit bruh
alr
wtf 3 swe internships as a freshman 😭 I’m ngmi
the only tragedy here is bro goes to ucla and is on cscd as a freshman
please have some fun dawg
this is deadass tragic
competitive high schools need to be NUKED
they are bruh these mf’s parents literally raise em to make money
bay area high schools are literal factories
wtf
maybe in china
american middle schools are teaching mf’s geometry and algebra at most
nah they r ppl doing calculus freshman year at bay area high schools
? this is all learned outside of school lol
yea we talking ab middle school tho
middle school no one does shit
yea
this dude claims to be teaching these mf’s all of this 😂
gifted middle schoolers are learning calculus MAYBE
ngl they r some cracked ppl and they will make it
idk the level at which they’re being taught cybersec stuff but these ppl probably have parents in tech and have been sweating since they could think. u can ask other people on this server and they’ll tell you they’ve been doing competitive programming since elementary school and could prob smoke most people at math while still in middle school
i believe it wholeheartedly lol
there’s probably some kids out there doing this, but there’s no way that this self-proclaimed 18 year old is teaching an entire middle school curriculum about it
he said globally, im sure there are orgs that teach cybersec fundamentals to middle schoolers
idt he claimed to have integrated it into the actual curriculum of a middle school
this is from personal experience a lot of these ppl r legit
bc they get way more support
like ik ppl who had like 5 pubs in hs
what incentive does someone have to lie abt this stuff on discord lol
also it looks believable for bay area tbh
because it’s impossible to get a job right now so most people are probably lying at least about one thing on their resume and people still want resume advice on this server
I mean I believe him but it’s so demoralizing how these people are able to find experiences so easily.
sorry my bad yeah they definitely worked really hard in high school
i would keep it
nah some friends and i did basic trig + calc in elementary and im not even from bay
there are easily bay area kids doing multivar, lin alg, stochastic, etc. by end of elementary
prolly somewhat common at the better schools tbh
i think the cybersec stuff is fine it all looks like basic cyber patriot stuff to me
but i think it's better under a leadership section
better to not clog up ur exp section with it especially if u have Big N on res alr
ur massive well known company should ideally be first
its hard for a recruiter to look all the way at the bottom
idk if its feasible to put it first bc chrono order but its kind of a waste sitting at the bottom
ideal order imo would be 1. big company 2. T15 uni 3. T10 school and then the rest
also, your bullet points need a bit of work
a lot of them are incredibly general
for ex. "developed two fullstack applications using..."
but what did the fullstack apps do?
even if it was super CRUD heavy like an admin user management app or smth, its much more effective to say exactly that
for ex. "Used Flask, SQL... to build a user permissions management app with (insert 2-3 interesting features)"
The same goes for your other intern specific roles
i do agree with heisenberg abt the leadership section, those are pre hard to word too
i would say put the big company first
i have a friend who got hella offers last cycle and did not do chrono, put best experience first
i dont think it truly matters tbh because a lot of it will go through ATS regardless for a majority of the recruiting work
do both 🔥
im curious tho you said u had competitive programming exp? howd u do on optiver etc auto OAs?
icic icl if i were u, id try for the auto OAs as much as possible
bc back in 1st and 2nd year id be getting 0 passes thru the resume screens
but the auto OAs which a lot of people fail, they can get u in if u do well
crazy considering their pay lmao
practice kaiju cats for next year
tbh i used to think that too
but lately ive started to realize
if i get the interview
ill grind my ass off enough to at least come close to passing
i wanna say ur super ahead in 1st year but
idk if this is just how people are now
so u shouldnt give up before trying even if ur competing against upper years yk
i gotta say tho super impressive resume for a 1st year
