    Thank you for the CV tips, especially the part about how you should structure your previous projects on your CV. I was told my CV was really good and now I'm doing a placement at Bloomberg in London!

    LeetCode was Tough! I’m a second year college student. Taking a CS algorithm’s class. It’s been difficult to say the least. I’d recommend doing LeetCode like he said. Sticking with it. Maybe watching RUclips videos and watching step by step how to do algorithm’s. It’s going to be on interviews for sure, and you’ll have classes like I’m taking. So get that head start and become a master at the.

    For projects I’m like wtf am I going to create that isn’t redundant and done a million times before

    • @ForgottenKnight1
      @ForgottenKnight1 3 года назад +3

      Usually if I see a leetcode test, I automatically ask the interviewer if they have any product that uses such algorithms or data structures. If I don't get a straight "yes", I know the interview is shit and the interviewer came unprepared and just threw at me some random leetcode problem that he found on the interwebz, instead of actually giving me one of the technical problems that you might encounter on their actual projects.

      Unless they’re already experienced in coding and they have actual use for a website

      ​@@xP0STx Yeahh I have had 1.5 years of Math intensive, logic and programming courses (now 4th semester courses before professional courses), and I am just now starting to work on projects for my courses. For the whole 1.5 years I have been at university, I've only been able to complete one project which obviously isn't enough to put on a website. A majority of freshman are less fortunate and don't even take a single programming course until the second semester, and on top of that they only learn up to file handling and file manipulation (nothing with structs or algorithms because those are saved for later courses). This is just not enough knowledge to be able to do a lot with in that period of time unless they go out of their way to learn more about one language and to start some big project they can put on their resume or that is worthy of having a website. If you really look at the courses I've taken, you'll realize that a basically a whole semester and a half worth of courses were wasted on prereqs which weren't related to mathematics or programming at all... So when I say 1.5 years of college experience I mean only 1 year.
      I honestly think better advice is to have a github, know how to use it. Know about different techniques such as Agile (Scrum) and their structure. Set up a linkedin and upload a resume there. That sort of thing, and to think that most of these videos don't even have this... hundreds of internship help vids that are 10+ minutes that have maybe one of these topics but not all of what is needed. Sure, advice on internships is good but I think it's best to give people a means of uploading and sharing everything about themselves academically and to let companies know that it will be easy to integrate them as they are familiar with the industry standards that the company wants people to be familiar with.
      ty for the reply! love the advice
