Hey J, i'm a sophomore majoring in cs and I thought you made some great points! One video recommendation, or a question I had in general was how did your resume look like when you were trying to get that FIRST internship, as I think most people have the most difficulty in crossing that stage. Thank you and best of luck on your upcoming goals!

Yeah for sure! I’ll definitely make a video on that soon!

just wanted to add that its great advice to suggest cold emailing! i'm in my current role as a qa lead for about 4 years now and after cold emailing many many places (after my first qa job), a cold email happened to land me my job and i would consider it the place i plan on staying for a very long time! cheers!

is it true that most junior positions' interviews are just leetcode easies? I thought that even internship interviews tend to ask mediums.

@jlau04 4 ай бұрын

yeah for internships mostly they're just easies and they mainly just look at how well you can explain the solution. Mediums will be for like actual full-time positions, I never had to do a medium so far.

Hey Justin, do you have any tips for landing Hardware internships? I finished 1A EE in Waterloo and managed to get a swe internship but I want to get into hardware.

@jlau04 3 ай бұрын

Hardware is a bit tough because they require experience that you don’t get from the courses until later in ECE. I’d say try joining design teams to pad up ur resume experience and then just hope u can clutch up a hardware co op via waterlooworks. Hardware seems to be doing a bit better than software rn though to be honest, so it’s pretty good that ur making that switch

Can u make a video on if masters in cs is worth it

@jlau04 4 ай бұрын

I have no clue it depends on what you wanna specialize in. I think for AI/ML related research work it’s useful but I think most people wouldn’t benefit from pursuing a masters.
