  • This advice won’t be helpful to you unfortunately, but if there are students reading, the answer as others have said is already being connected. A key way to make this happen is through research with faculty followed by (potentially) internships and then full time offers. If you just show up and kick ass every day for 3 to 5 years and even get a 4.0 GPA the market will still be very tough.

    Bonus points though which might help OP: anything you can do that narrows the pool helps you. For example, if you’re a white bread american dude maybe look for a job that requires getting a clearance, if you’re mandarin Chinese maybe look for something that requires some translation or speaking, etc. You may not be the best programmer or the best salesman, but you might be a top tier salesman for programming tools.











  • There is a data point missing here.

    Do the same study and give some an LLM, some no LLM, and some a type A subject matter expert for reference. It may also matter if this person is a friend coworker or random passerby, but I would be willing to bet money that the same effect is present to a lesser (but still statistically significant) degree.

    Maybe a future study can be further refined to build some scaffolding for more effective teaching/learning “on the job” or in general.








  • It means this person is outrageously pretentious and also not great at written English.

    If you try to unpack this word salad, basically this person is of the opinion that you should protest dirty and smart (I get some hard lefty, “mop” kind of vibes), as opposed to just showing up in huge numbers once in awhile not getting anything done. This person then makes an offhand assertion that the system is rigged against this kind of protest in some double standard way. It seems like they think this is not effective, and also that the people that rise to the top in these situations are not the kind of people you probably want in leadership.

    It makes me think the person feels they are much smarter than they actually are. Instead they ended up looking kind stupid in a “I’m in high school and I am very smart” sort of way.

    At least that’s what I got from reading it twice and that’s as much effort as I have to give it.
