"incoming freshman" and already has 5+ years of experience, which means you started working at 15 🧢

#

this entire resume is most likely fake tbh

chrome yarrow
#

yeah they are bro 💔

chrome yarrow
#

im not gonna try and prove to you im a freshman but trust me I am an incoming freshman 😭

chrome yarrow
#

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

chrome yarrow

rough nimbus
#

the only tragedy here is bro goes to ucla and is on cscd as a freshman

#

please have some fun dawg

mental spoke
#

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

upper nest
#

wtf

lyric sentinel
#

american middle schools are teaching mf’s geometry and algebra at most

upper nest
#

nah they r ppl doing calculus freshman year at bay area high schools

mental spoke
upper nest
#

but it's still an american high school

#

but everyone's incentivized to tryhard

lyric sentinel
upper nest
#

middle school no one does shit

lyric sentinel
#

yea

#

this dude claims to be teaching these mf’s all of this 😂

#

gifted middle schoolers are learning calculus MAYBE

upper nest
#

ngl they r some cracked ppl and they will make it

mental spoke
# lyric sentinel this dude claims to be teaching these mf’s all of this 😂

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

lyric sentinel
#

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

mental spoke
#

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

upper nest
#

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

upper nest
#

i would keep it

rough nimbus
#

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

craggy basin
#

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

shrewd jacinth
#

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

craggy basin
#

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
