You don't make it if you don't have ties to the industry. Trying to get a job in STEM without heavy networking during your undergraduate program is bullshit

I used to actually believe threads like these but now I just assume it's some coping NEET trolling on 4chan.

I graduated with average grades and got hired straight after graduation on my first application with 0 experience. In spite of everyone on /sci/ claiming it was a dead end overcompetitive field.

I guess it was my mistake for taking anything written on 4chan as fact instead of hyperbole, trolling and larping.

Yeah that's why a degree from a western college is 100 times more valuable than a degree from a third world country.

Except when it comes to CS, any retard can code

Any retard can be trained, trust me.

for context, Indians are desirable in the west because they hyper specialize their students into a certain job instead of teaching them broad understanding of a topic.

one major downside of Indian education is the major corruption which goes on behind the scenes.

The entry exam for the hardest school in India is 320 multiple choice questions from every subject, which is obviously intended to be sold pre exam to wealthy parents so that their children could memorize the answers.

scams? You really expect to be paid as much as someone who has YEARS under his belt in the discipline? You think you are actually doing work? First few years, you're basically going to be under supervision from a babysitter trying to prevent you from fucking shit up.

You are either:
>A graduate from a top 5-20 school
>A diversity hire

People from average ranked schools aren't finding work unless they have family in the industry. Most of my graduating class is underemployed even though many have 1-2 internships, high GPA etc.

Most major companies never hire their interns, even if you do a fantastic job they just replace you with the next batch of interns.

Last time I did it I was leading every technical discussion and basically doing all the work my supervisors were supposed to be doing, but are too blatantly incompetent to even know where to begin.

I got that nice, invaluable LoR thought, so there's that :)

Because there's a literal HR cutoff of top 20. Avature (a human resources software used by most major companies) crawls QS rankings every year and produces a vastly different candidate ranking for those making the top 20 cut.

I don't expect minority hires to understand why the job market is difficult or to have put any thought into trying to survive in the world.

We don't blame minorities. We blame racist politicians and old white HR women who believe that since they had a good, privileged childhood that everyone of their skin colour did. Of course, the reality is that most of us had to bleed through poor public schools and beat out 99.9% of our year to get admittance and full ride scholarships. In contrast most of our peers of other races and genders come from rich, upper middle class families. White kids with similar privileged backgrounds also have all the family connections they need to make. The system is retarded and doesn't even address inequality at all.

And what criteria do they use for the top 20? There's no way the just use USnews rankings and stuff like that right?

They use QS, they actually pay QS for a bunch of other datapoints to get HR in a good position to lower salary expectations during negotiation.

It's HR, did you expect them to make intelligent decisions?
