Looking to get in after a gap of 4 months from my last position (40 USD an hour, worked it for the past 8 months), was bit of a unique research role, so I'm having trouble framing it. Other post: https://www.teamblind.com/post/2023-Graduate-Looking-for-Referrals-o8dsFUBy Could really use some help, so please roast away! #jobs #resume #resumereview
You have no real jobs. Doesnāt really matter tbh.
Gah damn ; _ ; (I'm shooting for IC1 maybe IC2 type roles)
The hate for not having a job is a brain dead take lol we were all there at one point. Iād say the points have good info, but the question you should be asking is āwhat metric or $ value did my work doā This may be hard to quantify with some internships, but thatās the idea. Also not sure how the ā;ā is viewed in resumes, if itās two disjoint ideas, might be better to have separate bullet points Ex. The cluster latency point could be something like: āCollaborated with data scientists to analyze XYZ traffic design, resulting in X% lower cluster latencyā
Thanks for coming to my defense and for the advice! For my last few internships quantification in those terms is a bit difficult, could have maybe done something like that for the one at Amazon and Meta (like you suggested), but I wouldn't have a way to get that data now (don't exactly want to fib either, and I don't remember what the real numbers or estimate would even look like here unfortunately). It would be kind of weird to ask someone in the company you know to dig up some code and run metrics wouldn't it? Lesson for later, I'll see what I can change/improve with the value thing in mind (I was targeting technical skills before).
Yeah I wouldnāt ask previous companies about metrics haha but just keep those in mind when youāre working at your next job. Start sending the apps out!
If you find a suitable Google role I can refer. Also, ignore those rude dumbasses above lol.
Thanks haha. I found a SE-SRE role, curious about your thoughts regarding this? I interned on an Infra team at Meta and I think it would be interesting for me. Long term career wise I'm still torn between focusing on ML or Distributed Systems, both have a lot of math that I like. I'll send you a DM as well.
Hmmm first time Iāve seen a Bachelor of Arts AND Science š¤
I redacted the other part of the degree since it isn't relevant here (the black line above the "Concentration in Mathematics: Applied - Operations Research).

Maybe get a full time job first before asking to be roasted on internships?
Please sir, looking for stuff around entry level
Ask for referrals instead of a roast. Get your priorities in order
