What are your thoughts on getting a masters degree overseas? I'm interested in getting a masters (electrical engineering), but ideally abroad. Next semester, I'm going to study abroad in Japan. How does getting a masters overseas compare to getting one domestically? Why do employers and...

Hello all! Recently, my professor asked me if I've ever considered a career in academia after reading one of my essays... which made me wonder what academia is and what the experience is like (beyond getting a PhD). I'm not sure what I want to do with my life, I like computer engineering...

Hi,

I'm currently an undergrad student pursuing a computer engineering major and a forensic studies minor.

What do companies look for in terms of soft and hard skill? What classes would you recommend taking? What's a skill that's a must have in the field?

Hi, I have an upcoming internship interview for the Johns Hopkins University Applied Physics Lab. I'm very excited for this opportunity and the role that I am interviewing for (Robotics Engineer Intern — Maritime Systems), but I am very nervous and scared that I'll mess up the interview. In...

As a current computer engineering student who desires to go into electrical engineering-based jobs, I'm curious about questions that stand out to you positively.

What piques your interest in a candidate? What kinds of questions do they ask that can set them apart from other people applying?

When it comes to interviews, I have trouble coming up with something good and positive to say about myself. With little experience in interviews, I find that in my practice answers, I subconsciously say something negative about myself, indirectly or directly. Now, I'm being more vigilant in...

At the beginning of the semester of college, I had much better habits and motivation. Alas, that didn't last very long. Now, I don't have any motivation. I'm constantly grasping concepts slower than my peers (I feel I'm behind in everything compared to my peers), I haven't done many...

With college decisions coming out, I'm facing a lot of back-to-back rejection from schools... it's brutal this year. I'm wondering what are some ways you've dealt with it (or deal with it, if you're also getting college rejection letters)? Obviously, I got rejected from my dream school and it...

I'm more than positive that imposter syndrome will follow me for the rest of my life in school, work, etc... and I'm sure it's followed (or following) others also. It sucks, but I believe it can be dealt with in healthy ways, what are some ways you deal with it when it increases or appears...

When applying to selective schools, applicants often have to go through interviews in the process. If you’re the interviewer, what’s something you look for (other than passion)? If you’re the interviewee, what’s one thing you wished you knew about interviews before starting one? #interviews...

Would I be considered a failure/ not qualified if I didn’t go to the top schools?

I'm interested in pursuing computer science as a degree in college but I was wondering what tech companies look in terms of soft skill, and maybe a bit of hard skills as well. What are some classes I should take in college? What skills should I work on or need? #computer-science #computer...

Something I've always struggled with as a student and person in general, is comparing myself to others. Whether if it's looks or intelligence, I always seem to find a way to compare said person and myself. The colleges I want to get into are extremely competitive, so when I can't do something,...

I'm a senior in high school, and applying for colleges and writing responses for PIQs has been a struggle. Everyday, I know I need to do them but I can't find myself to get up and actually do them. I try to have a positive outlook on them, but I still feel the dread and pressure of doing it. It...
