Hey, y'all, I am currently an undergrad junior who is interning as a SWE. I want to eventually transition to being a machine learning engineer. Does anyone have any tips on doing this? I have 0 experience in ML for context.

Now I can actually lock in on the classes that I ignored for about a month

I'm going to graduate next year with no internship experience. If I take a year or two after graduation to work some random unrelated job and get some really good projects done, can I succeed? Like if I make some really cool functional games and websites, make a github and make YouTube content about them, will I be able to get a job?

hi! are any of you interning at spotify this summer in the ny office? I’d love to connect and form a group to discuss housing and other stuff! :)

i have 2 years of experience and a BS in computer science but as you guys know the job market is absolute shit. here are some tricks that not a lot of people know about.

Slack communities are very under-rated. Join slack communities of people in your industry, in my example (Startup SWEs in SF). Those types of communities are amazing, you network with people directly.

GitHub is also very under-rated. If you are looking for internships there are many github repos that have lists of jobs you should look into. Simplify's big github repo is a very good example. Moreover, there are many github open source projects that in the end of the readme have a "we are hiring". If you search github for "hiring", etc they will come up!

Company blogs are also a very good place to find jobs. If you look at some blog posts from a company, especially technical blog posts, they will have a "we are hiring" link. Moreover, you can see the person who wrote it, that is usually the hiring manager. Reach out to them, and you know exactly what to talk about, the article!! Usually those roles are less competitive as well because they are not being advertised as heavily.

You have to apply to a ton of roles. There is not getting around that. 100s is the minimum now. The job market is absolutely brutal especially for those early career people. Download the Simplify extensions and all your manual applications should go through them. Furthermore, use a ApplyheroAI to have it automatically apply to the jobs for you. There is not way around this, you won't stand a chance applying to 5-10 roles in this market!

Use advanced search features on Google: site:*.edu | site:*.org | site:*.gov -inurl:(login | sign up) "job opening". If you type what's inside the ``, into google you will see if finds edu, org, and gov job openings for you. Those roles are so much less competitive that you stand a way higher chance. Ask chatgpt on more queries on how you can do this for tech etc, it works extremely well.

i hope those tricks help! i wanted to give me to the reddit job communities because i actually learned a lot of tricks from them on my job search. Most of these tricks I learned from reddit! let me know if I can help with anything else :)

I cleared my first and second stages (1 prelim + 3 rounds) for the Bangalore APM role. But they’re only taking 1 more round for me, I’ve heard they usually take 2. Is this a bad sign? Should I be worried?

I bet most of the folks laid off were h1b. Good riddance.

Seen it as a growing backend language this year. Wondering if it’s worth adding to my tech stack or just learning it

It is a fellowship program and I got accepted.

But it seems weird that they require you to post a LinkedIn Introductory video as a "Build In Public." They say this is not marketing, but seems like it. I don't want to be that LinkedIn influencer.

Also I am not sure how legit this is? Can someone please describe their experience? I would love to hear your thoughts.

never heard anyone talk abt the utm cs co op and how it compares to other unis should I go to utm for prestige or would I simply be better off going to somewhere like Carleton, mac,queens or western to get a job at a big tech company or a startup.

I was interviewed at Google for PhD SWE internship role and got 3 interviews with them. Then my recruiter notified me that I passed the interviews and moved to the team matching stage. It's been more than 2 months now. Do you guys already got your summer internship offer or are you still waiting for the team matching. It's so frustrating...

Hey everyone,

Recently I was offered both Meta and QRT new grad positions. Just wondering which will you choose and appreciate any comments about why!

Some additional useful information

• Meta: EE team, product generalist (Fullstack)
• QRT: Quant Dev

Compensation: QRT TC > Meta TC

How long does it usually take for the company to offer you an interview (if you are selected) after submitting your CV? And after how long do you consider your application unsuccessful?

I have an OA invitation from Cisco. Has someone taken the assessment recently? Any suggestion would be helpful. Also, how often do they reach out after the OA?

Just took the HRT CodeSignal for the Inside HRT program the other day; Q1 and Q2 felt pretty manageable while Q3 was a bit tougher but definitely doable. Q4 on the other hand was a completely shitshow--it took me over 10 minutes to even fully comprehend what they were asking for and I definitely did not finish implementation within the required 70 minutes.

Anybody else take the assessment recently, and if so, how did you find it? To provide some context I don't have a competitive programming background, and I don't spend my life grinding LeetCode.

Hey everyone,

I’ll be interning with Microsoft’s Business & Industry Copilot (BIC) team this summer as a Software Engineering Intern, but I haven’t found much info online about past intern experiences in this area. Since BIC focuses on AI-driven enterprise solutions, I want to make sure I prepare effectively.

For those who have interned at Microsoft in AI or enterprise-focused teams, I’d love to hear insights on:

• What technical skills are most valuable for BIC interns? (Azure AI, NLP, prompt engineering, etc.)
  
• What’s the work environment like?(Collaboration, expectations, coding vs. research balance)
  
• What types of projects do interns typically work on in AI-driven teams?
• Any tips for making a strong impact and increasing chances of full-time conversion?
• Are there Microsoft resources that helped you prepare before starting?
  

Would appreciate any advice or insights—thanks in advance!

Apparently there is a way for foreign workers to get a greencard quickly by making a case that them getting a greencard is in the nation's best interest and they have "extraordinary ability" in their field.

I was curious why a bunch of [insert nationality here] at my place of employment working regular IT jobs were all obsessing over GenAI and talking about publishing papers in that field. These are regular corporate IT folks doing regular meat and potatoes IT work like maintaing CI/CD pipelines and writing CRUD websites for internal use and such. Everytime there is a company hackathon the ones participating are almost exclusively [insert nationality here].

I wonder if this will start affecting (or has already started) the quality of papers being published. Wonder if there is now a cottage industry of organizations built specifically to make publishing papers easier for green card purposes.

One of the guys was talking about being accepted to be a speaker at some event and I had never heard of that organization and the topic of his paper was something super generic.

Well i love coding and programming, but my uni only offer these 2 programming or cs related courses. The advantages of a software dev degree is more time while i study to learn on my own, and i can work while i study more easly and the advantage of the engineering degree is well the engineering title

What is industry going to support more in the coming years does to disruption from AI in the programming space?

CS or CE major ? Is it worth thinking ?

Yes, many courses do overlap but still ...

I am creating a clipboard syncing platform as my academic project. This will sync clipboards when desktop is connected to mobile's hotspot. I am using electron and react-native for developing desktop and mobile apps. I don't much about websockets. My current approach is to create a server at mobile and connect desktop to by getting the IP of mobile.

First I don't know how to get mobile's IP (not on electron but by anyway). I used ipconfig but don't know which is my mobile's ip. And as far as I know the ip visible to my pc is different from what i get on whatismyipaddress.com and all.

So at first, how do I know my mobile's IP using ipconfig or other way. Then how to get it using electron. For now leaving the react-native part.

Feel free to comment any other ways if options aren’t listen

Hello, any programming project ideas i could do with an eeg brainwave detector? Thank you

TikTok: site reliability (SRE) team in TikTok US data security (USDS), unsure about project yet

Patreon: Android mobile dev project + maybe (not guaranteed) some backend work; direct manager used to work at a couple of the big techs

How should I pick? My internship goals are:

• resume padding for a backend new grad role ideally at FAANG
• learn good engineering practices

Anyone with experience interning at either company?

I was admitted to the University of Arizona, Arizona State University and the University of Utah. As an international student, I can't be a resident of any state. The reason why I applied for these three universities is that I like these two western states. After deducting the scholarship, the annual tuition of the U of Arizona is about $25,000, and the annual tuition for ASU and U of Utah is both about $35,000.

Although ASU has made remarkable achievements in research, I heard that undergrad CS courses of ASU has been quite chaotic in recent years, so I may not consider it for the time being. U of U may be more famous than the other two in the field of CS, but I'm not sure if it's worth spending an extra $10,000 a year for it. I'm not in a hurry to find a job after graduating from undergraduate. I may prefer to complete a postgraduate degree. Could you give me some advice?
