I find this seriously unlikely. Most MIT grads are getting into Jane Street or at minimum Google - they literally think working at Amazon is beneath them. Course 6 grads are not going unemployed.
It is funny to hear that this person might have an unstable environment though - that isn't the profile of someone that gets into MIT.
If OP is actually serious I'm more than willing to give resume advice - including in person living in the area. But again, I seriously doubt this is real, or if people like OP are willing to take advice from failures like me.
- fedsocpuppet 2y agoI was an undergrad and this is just wrong. Most are not going into HFT, and a bunch don't go into FAANG either. And not everyone who gets in was raised in a perfect upper middle class life. Do you really want to care about judgement from people who think not working at a trading firm is a failure? Those people are insufferable anyway
- lostmsu 2y agoMIT EECS undergrad? I can believe not everyone is HFT out of the college, but there is a broader point being made.
- fedsocpuppet 2y agoYes. I mean if the point is that MIT grads have unfair advantages sure, but he's built a quite unrealistic image of MIT/its students. There is a whole spectrum from IOI gold medalists to students who fail intro classes.
- lostmsu 2y agoYes, he exaggregated intentionally. That's why I referred to a "broader point".
- laidoffamazon 2y ago> and a bunch don't go into FAANG either Then they start their own companies. They don't work at Oracle or Amazon or Fidelity or IBM. > MIT kids get part time jobs waiting tables or working retail while in school Just the vast majority of them? A handful don't at best.
