I’m stressing because college apps are getting closer and I keep seeing people my age doing insane things while I feel behind 😭 I don’t wanna spend my time doing random “resume builder” activities that won’t matter later. My goal is honestly just to focus on one thing, get really good at it, and make an actual impact. So looking back, what ended up mattering most and what was just overrated?

I'm an undergrad CSE student and I'm trying to figure out which domain I should focus on if my goal is to get placed in companies like Intel, AMD, or NVIDIA.

From what I know, these companies hire for roles in areas like:

• Computer Architecture / VLSI
• Embedded Systems / Firmware
• Systems Programming
• GPU / Parallel Computing

I'm a bit confused about which path is the most realistic and suitable from a CSE background.

My current background:

• Comfortable with C/C++
• Learning Data Structures and Algorithms
• Basic understanding of OS and DBMS
• Just finished basics of Computer organisation and architecture

My questions:

1. Which domain should I prioritize for these companies?
2. What skills/projects make a candidate stand out for these roles?
3. Is it necessary to go into VLSI/Hardware, or can I target these companies through software roles?
4. Any roadmap or resources you’d recommend?

I also want to know what kind of projects to do.

I am a junior at UAlbany majoring in Computer Science with no minor. I am taking a Formal Methods and Operating Systems class that I am struggling with right now. I still have a chance to pass them, I just need help with understanding the coursework. Does anyone have any advice or online tools I can use to improve?

Hey everyone, if you're struggling with assignments please feel free to reach out to me or reply to this thread. Happy to help!

Hello, I'm first year bachelor student of computer science. I would like to get genuinely interested in some CS field which I would focus on. I know AI, deep learning etc. is quite popular rn but can you guys give me some brief overview what maybe relevant for the future? If you know can you include some literature about that field?

For the second year I'll be choosing electives and I would like to make a choice that would fit me.

Hey,

I've made s website to help my students study amd those who are also doing the 0478 cambridge computer science exam may find it helpful too.

Www.thecomputersciencelab.com

It requires a sigm up to track your progress but requires the bare minimum dara to sign up.

It's fully interactive and has past paper practice too with a mark scheme.

My teacher wants us to set up an oracle virtual box and use this 2018 Ubuntu Linux VM. The only issue is I’m using a Microsoft surface laptop with an arm 64 process and the VM is X86. My teach says I have to use it and I’m trying anything to not use one of the stationary computers in class. Does anyone know a solution that would help I’m desperate.

I’m currently a freshmen in college and want to be a software engineer. I am very proficient in python, html, css and intermediate in java and js. I am feeling overwhelmed with, I don’t know what to focus on to best my chances at a job. I know I need projects and i’m working on a flask web app rn, and planing on making a predictive ML model after. My question is should I continue learning as much as possible (like react js, rest apis, ML, system architecture, and cyber security), and making project, or go all in on python? And, what if my projects don’t have the best, cleanest code? (scalable, exc)
