Thanks for sharing. I was looking for a more regular online group. But this is also interesting.

2/50 > 6/200 So 2 from a pool of 50 has more chance.

Thank you.

You have to be in the US to apply. It looks nice though. Thanks.

Thank you for your detailed advice.

Thank you for your concrete suggestions.

I'm a phd student in cs focusing on algorithms. I want to work as software engineer/data scientist.

I have actually done some work with doc2vec. What is in these text data? What do you hope to extract?

I really find this interesting.

Thank you very much. I really like your advice. I would like to build on my domain knowledge. I'm a PhD student in cs focusing on algorithms.

This is exactly why I'm asking. So, since you are, appearantly senior, in the field, do you have any concrete recommendations?

Thank you. Do you think this will be appreciated for a job interview? I think it will take lots of time and effort for that to happen.

Please elaborate. What are you researching about text input?

A ray tracer sounds good. Thank you.

Sounds interesting, although I will not be able to join it this time.

But it seems that a game is my only option, although I was trying to think of a non-game project, but I can't come up with another idea.

I see your point, but I want a project I can learn from and to add to my portfolio.

Sorry for the late reply. I might do that soon. Since you have experience interviewing, I want to know if this is normal. I was invited for A one-way video interview (a quick Q&A you’ll answer using your webcam).

Is this normal? I find it humiliating to be honest.

I get some interviews. If applied for 100 positions: around 50% don't reply. around 40% reject me. Part of that could be because if visa sponsorship.

Some reply and I get interviewed. In most of the cases, I do very well in their technical interview. Then they would say, we are looking for a senior software engineer.

In two interviews last week, I was cut in the middle of the interview and it was ended once they discovered I'm not a senior engineer. One of them, supposedly saw my resume before hand and I did great in their online exam.

I have some projects yes, but not big enough for them.

In only one job, the requirement was an exceptional algorithmist. I'm not exceptional, but I applied anyways.

They sent me three problems. I solved two and sent them some thoughts about the third one, which was very difficult. I found several papers related. It was a publication level algorithm. Even my algorithms professor spend a day on it before giving up. I think I have some thoughts about a solution, but I needs more time than I can afford at this stage. Still waiting for their reply though.

Good idea, I will check it out.

I agree. But all data mining/machine learning projects I can think of are either trivial or typical.

That is why I was asking for suggestions.

Thank you.

I know python and c++03. I agree that "concurrency/parallelism/locking" could be useful to me. May automotive companies ask for that and they also ask for some algorithms knowledge.

Do you have any project idea in that area? Thank you for your help.

Should I interpret not getting response about my question for a project idea as a sign that it is not a good idea?

In the middle east.

They all continued to work in academia as postdocs. I don't want to go in that path. Especially that my most recent work was in a field I don't enjoy, but I had to do it because my previous adviser had to leave university and that was the only option or else I would have wasted the previous years effort in vain.

I have lots of theoritical experience in many areas and I just need to start in a first job. And from there it would be easy. As I will be able to say I have actual industrial experience.

I want a software engineering job. I even apply for entry level jobs and I get rejected. I even got rejected several times for internships.

My PhD is in Computer Science (mix of algorithms and data mining and some bioinformatics). I switched advisers few times. I can teach, I love teaching and I have huge experience being a teaching assistant. But there are some issues with teaching right now: 1-Most universities require teaching and research. 2-I want to move to software engineering work. 3-If want more and not start software engineering now, as a fresh PhD graduate, the problem will be worse later.

Sorry I meant data mining not data science.

A project as well as a learning path would be nice .
