Awards and honors I can compete for in the next 1 year /u/One-Chemical4046 CSCQ protests reddit

Awards and honors I can compete for in the next 1 year /u/One-Chemical4046 CSCQ protests reddit

I am applying for MS in CS for the fall 2026 intake, I have roughly 1 year now, I would like to know what are the awards and honors I can try my best to get. I am so clueless at this.

Any advice I get in this regard would be super helpful, no matter how trivial it is. I am just so clueless.

Edit: I am already graduated

Are companies currently hiring only candidates who can join immediately, and not ones graduating in May 2025? /u/Supercachee CSCQ protests reddit

Are companies currently hiring only candidates who can join immediately, and not ones graduating in May 2025? /u/Supercachee CSCQ protests reddit

I graduate in May 2025 and have been actively/rigorously applying to roles in and around SWE, Data Science, and Machine Learning. Over the past 1.5 months, I’ve submitted applications to approximately 1,000 positions and received only 8 responses from recruiters at various companies(FAANG and Fortune 500) However, all of these roles require me to start immediately, with no consideration for next year’s graduate programs.

Despite clearly stating my graduation date on my resume, it looks like these companies are not currently targeting candidates for 2025 starts. While I’m grateful for getting responses from huge companies, it is challenging to find positions aligned after my graduation date. I understand the importance of applying early, but from my experience, this timing might be too soon to get jobs offers for my timeline.

Why do companies spend so much time money on career fairs? /u/Brick-Foreign CSCQ protests reddit

Why do companies spend so much time money on career fairs? /u/Brick-Foreign CSCQ protests reddit

I work for a financial services company in Boston as a SWE, and our early career recruiter for tech was saying she was visiting over 20 schools this fall alone, all over the east coast. She also said that she’ll most likely be hiring ~10 or so new grads for June 2025, not including those that already interned here this past summer.

My question is- why do early career teams even bother going to that many schools? If you know you’re gonna hire 10 people, and there’s guaranteed to be 100s of applicants because of the awful job market, doesn’t it make sense to only really recruit from schools within the city/state (which Boston has TONS of) to save time and money?

Recruiting definitely isn’t cheap with travel and registration costs, so that money would probably be best used elsewhere instead of visiting schools where you know you’ll hire nobody from. Am I missing something here?

Inquiry- Applying to same position but different location within a company /u/stowaway_LesMis_simp CSCQ protests reddit

Inquiry- Applying to same position but different location within a company /u/stowaway_LesMis_simp CSCQ protests reddit

Essentially the title. I’m applying to software engineering positions, and I was wondering what the general procedure is if company X has multiple openings of the same role, but just in different locations? Do I apply to both job roles?

For example, I see that Comcast has a software engineering intern role in both Philadelphia and New York on different workday pages. If I’m open to both roles, am I expected to apply to both openings?

Just seeing if I can save some time in this process. Thank’s y’all!
