Questions Answered in This Stream
Can an ordinary undergraduate computer major still find a job?
According to the streamer, yes, but the student needs practical technical ability, projects, and internship experience. A weak or empty resume makes hiring much harder.
How should students choose between software engineering, computer science, and big data?
The streamer often leans toward software engineering as relatively easier to learn, describes computer science as broader but harder, and treats big data as another viable CS-related direction depending on school tier and goals.
Is cybersecurity suitable for students from ordinary universities?
The streamer is cautious about recommending cybersecurity to ordinary non-elite students, citing fewer positions, a narrower job market, and higher thresholds.
How important are internships for computer job hunting?
The streamer repeatedly emphasizes internships and project experience. Even if an internship does not lead to a full-time offer, the project work can still strengthen the resume for future applications.
