that’s the first I’ve heard of that area called “the triangle.” mind sharing what it’s significant for and what kind of person would fit? I’ve considered moving to the SE for better weather and job opportunities as a new grad.

thank you. My risk profile is also higher than most. Do you mind sharing your story? I’m an undergrad looking to sell my youth. Would like to work at a non-profit once I can be financially independent with my family.

> Someone who has spent the time wading through this stuff might consider that somewhat insulting

ok? If I have an entry-level offer in-hand 6 months from now and I’m behind a few textbooks, I think I can manage. Sorry to break it to you, but a lot can be done if you’re healthy and avoid distractions.

FAANG interviews do cover DS, algorithms, math, and OS, though.

any of the other material you didn’t quite need for the interview itself?

Then would you provide any actionable advice?

I understand your concern about not gaining implicit knowledge while surrounded by peers, but I’ve gained “the ability to think” through my other course of study, and your concerns don’t seem to be attached to a solution. Rather, it seems like a desperate attempt to gatekeep over an increasingly egalitarian field. And sorry, but there isn’t much communication to be learned among CS undergrads.

The knowledge I lack on the job will be taught as I’m exposed to my shortcomings, as is the case with most jobs.

In addition, my school’s CS department was lacking, so most of it was poorly taught, and I relied on self-teaching regardless. Once I get through hiring season, I’ll worry about covering the remaining material before I begin work.

was a Bachelor’s in a quantitative subject not sufficient?

I’ve heard that Part 1 of the algorithms course is sufficient for new grad interviews. Can you verify?
M5x7wI3CmbEem10··on Teach Yourself Computer Science
does similar pressure exist for a Master’s Degree? I’ve considered OMSCS for this reason.
M5x7wI3CmbEem10··on Teach Yourself Computer Science
how much of this curriculum is necessary for a FAANG job?

I’d love to go through all of them, but I’m constrained with work as well, so I’ll have to prioritize.

would it be better to do a PhD as soon as possible to prevent family weighing you down, or to become financially independent first?

Sorry, I don’t quite understand. XP is a flight simulator. You outsource a 3D model of a plane and the relevant audio. Then you code and paint the plane in the application, which is then sold?

How can you be reassured that the outsourcers won’t steal your idea?

This is interesting and sounds like it could be applied to game plugins in general.
