There are many things I wish I knew before I started CS. One of the main things is that I focused too much on academics to the point that I never made time for the more important things like leetcode, clubs, interview prep, etc and by the time I realized my mistake, two years had passed. I felt very behind my peers in that aspect and since then I have worked towards catching up with them. My advice is that get started early with things like that.

The major is what you make of it. You could always take the easy classes or concentrations but then you end up being the same person who complain about the job market. It’s truly a beautiful major and school, it’s meant for the ones who love it for the content…not the prospective job.
