why bother censor uc school when it says what it is in teh exp

exp looks decent tho

why does it say u graduated dec 2024

[novel geyser]

LOL forgot to change that

[novel geyser]

that's when I graduated. I was in an MS program and that's how I was able to intern at SoFi this past summer

[lilac kernel]

are you doing ms?

[stark agate]

maybe add that to education then

unless you dropped it?

actually add it anyway, explains your internships past your bachelors grad date

[novel geyser]

I was gonna drop it once I get a FT time offer actually

it'll take me two years to finish and I'd rather work instead

[lilac kernel]

u might not qualify for ng roles due to grad date tbh

[stark agate]

^

[lilac kernel]

a lot of them have a range that they'll accept but typically idt they go all the way back to dec 2024

[stark agate]

add your MS, list it as May 2026 grad

is it at USSC?

[novel geyser]

Nope GT

[stark agate]

oh the omscs?

[novel geyser]

Yup

I was planning on switching to in-person maybe

[lilac kernel]

hm this is lowkey a tough spot to be in

[novel geyser]

but like that's if I get no NG offer

[stark agate]

yeah add it on the res, list graduation as 2025 dec or 2026 may or something depending on the role you apply for

if you can switch to in-person that would be way better without a ng offer

[lilac kernel]

add res just don't apply to places requesting transcript

[stark agate]

^

google and stuff isnt gonna like it

[novel geyser]

Hmmm damn so that kinda excludes all of big tech then huh?

[stark agate]

not all

zon dont care

[lilac kernel]

can u just return to disney/sofi as backup? do u have ro

[stark agate]

idk about nvidia, apple and meta dont ask

etc etc

seems like youre trying to do ML?

[novel geyser]

Disney no, they have no headcount for juniors. SoFi is still actually figuring out headcount and won't know about it till Feb 2026. I have an inclined RO from my manager but without headcount that doesn't mean much

[stark agate]

ng for ML is rough, id say try tiktok but i think they ask for transcript

[lilac kernel]

damn that's kinda cooked tbh

[stark agate]

rough spot yeah

[lilac kernel]

if i were u i would have just applied ng last year

but can't do that now

[stark agate]

i assume he did lol

[novel geyser]

Yeah I did, I didn't get any processes for New Grad

[stark agate]

also 0 responses but how many apps? are you only aiming for big tech?

are you international?

[novel geyser]

But for internships, I got 3 offers in 1 month which is a crazy switch up

[novel geyser]

Nope not international or aiming for big tech. It would be the dream but like a job is a job yk

[lilac kernel]

tbh just do this and apply to no transcript companies, your exp is good so you should get some procs

[stark agate]

3 internships at recognized names im not sure why you arent getting procs

[lilac kernel]

or actually do the masters, which is another option

[stark agate]

lowk id even remove content just to make it more readable

like drop the tutor role

it adds nothing to this resume

[novel geyser]

Gotcha okay, could I add it and then could I say that I'm deciding to drop the MS after getting an offer?

[stark agate]

and yeah either commit to the omscs or focus on apps. at the end of the omscs, it just says you got a masters at gt, recruiters dont know its online

[stark agate]

just match the grad date to the role you apply to (what date they want)

and dont provide transcripts (apply to places that dont want it)

no need to mention dropping it

[lilac kernel]

you don't need to tell them anything tbh

[stark agate]

^

[lilac kernel]

most ng roles will start prob summer 2026, so just say may/june (idk when gt grad is) 2026 grad + don't add transcript

[stark agate]

MS Computer Science @ GT, May 2026 grad

apply to spots that dont ask for transcript or dont provide one

or pivot to in-person and actually do the masters

thats basically it

[novel geyser]

But what about the background checks?

[stark agate]

they arent that serious

dont apply for a government job and youre fine

[lilac kernel]

if you're that worried just do the masters

[novel geyser]

hmm interesting, Disney and SoFi verified that you went to the school you claimed

[stark agate]

i mean if theyre verifying you go to gt

[lilac kernel]

gt is a good school, you might be better off doing it anyway

[stark agate]

youll still be going to gt

also yeah if you can transition to in-person for the masters

idk why you wouldnt just do it

instead of trying to find loopholes for ng

[novel geyser]

just cause i realized after interning this summer that working is more fun tbh

the ms was just a backup plan to get another internship in case disney didn't work out (which it didn't)

[novel geyser]

but wouldn't saying that I dropped an MS allow me to cast a wider net with applications? and saying that I dropped it would be fine since I have a bachelor's and at that point since I have an offer ?

[lilac kernel]

ig you can do what u want, it's just you run the risk of going through a whole proc + getting rej at the end for drop
