similar boat. have you ever had dev exp?
Looking for potential dev internship for blockchain. tips?
ooo i'm at berkeley lol (eecs grad student)
that's why i asked.
why not just go into fintech
well my under is not cs/ee, so i thought i may need to be more "niche". just wondering how the industry views people like myself
also i ve nothing to "prove" myself
what does that mean? i think (or at least on west coast) everyone just cares about competence. no one really cares about credentials as long as you can perform.
how do you know whether you can "perform?" - ive got nothing on resume. granted, i prolly could pull of majority of entry-level technical interviews, but - no previous internships, only couple personal pet projects, github has only one or two things, etc -
also, how do they tell "competence"? btw, im at gt if that helps.
ahh i see. you may have to grind an entry level software job (ie fb, google, etc) and eat shit for a year or something. it's soul sucking work but at least it pays ok (~120k/yr). with a company like that it's bound to catch some recruiter attention. not saying it's impossible w/o that, but it's more difficult imo
shit, im trying to get into those "entry level" jobs atm. i feel like the biggest problem would be getting the interview. ive done militray (not american, so no muh vet gibs) so im used to eating shit. would gladly take those soul sucking jobs tbqh
hmm even getting an interview? might be an issue with your resume (not saying you're bad or whatever, might be something with it). if you can get it to me i can look at it if you'd like. i can also show you mine
havent tried yet. just changed major. my things on resume: highest honor in me/ce/civile at gt undergrad, cs masters at gt. made some android app stuff, few school club things. south korean army. i feel like the worst thing for me is that im not a citizen. but even besides that, i don't think my resume is near nowhere. thinking about making some polo auto-trading bot thing, and larp at interview or something
