Man, I can totally understand the relief. I did OMSCS, Machine Learning and graduated last year. All with work and family too Take some time to enjoy doing nothing or hobbies after work before having new commitments Congratulations we made it !!!!
Thanks! I think I am getting a little bit better, slowly but surely. I'll definitely consider it- I have to look into it to see what I can/can't film at work first, but def sounds like it would be interesting
Good stuff. Video idea - Your work flow (OS, IDE/Editor, etc.) I'd never heard of a Tidbyt. Definitely going to have to grab one of those! Maybe when I finish OMSCS I'll be able to mess with it.
I like that idea for the work flow/what I actually do on and what tools when working on a daily basis. And the Tidbyt is cool- i'm considering just buying one instead of making one myself at this point tbh lol
I just got accepted to OMSCS. It's gonna be 2-3 long years from now 😅 In terms of content, I would love some OMSCS specific like your course schedule throughout the program and your thoughts on some of the specializations (currently I'm interested in CS or ML), and your overall thoughts on the value of this degree. For general content, maybe some SWE interview tips, your thoughts on the profession, or some non-tech content like travel, music, day in the life are cool too.
i started my first omscs semester in august, im doing interactive intelligence.. prepare to devote a lot of time writing papers and doing readings and watching lectures when u start!
I’d be interested to see a video on what courses to take at OMSCS and in what order. Also would be interesting to know how you kept in touch with other students at this program considering it being fully online.
Thanks! Yeah I am going to be filming a video talking about all the courses I took/when (going through my transcript) sometime in the next month so stay tuned!
Thanks- will definitely add that to the ideas list. In terms of prep, I just did around a month of LeetCode, but I think the interview experience itself could be interesting
Question, what have do you feel you have gotten from your masters that you could not have gotten from you bachelor's and continuing to work? I am looking to move into a MS next so I was curious how that will be while working and if there is a benefit. I picture it helping with getting leadership roles down the line.
Well, I certainly got a much deeper understanding of the fundamentals and some of the statistics of Machine Learning. For example, in the MS program we would spend time actually working out the math behind basic ML algorithms, whereas in a work setting, I would've just looked for a library that implements it without necessarily fully understanding what is going on under the hood. This can be seen as good or bad, because it doesn't mean that you are using industry-standard libraries much (didn't use TensorFlow or PyTorch or XGBoost at all), as you are instead are often looking at the math and the theory behind ML approaches. It also just adds some level of confidence in general and hopefully it does pan out with leadership roles down the line.
@@bryan_truong Oh, great thoughts. I am someone that hates black-box functions and needs to know how things work. This does seem like a great way to accomplish more of the whys. Thank you for your insights. I am going to be starting my application up for my Masters.
Hey Bryan , really nice video! I was wondering if I could help you edit your videos and also make a highly engaging Thumbnail which will help your video to reach to a wider audience .
I wasn't planning on it, per se, but I definitely will consider it! Any specific subjects you are interested? I am hesitant to do cover algorithms, since neetcode already explains things so well for free on his TH-cam (I watch him as well when I do algorithm/leet code prep)

Congratulations we made it !!!!
Absolutely! Thanks so much :)
I was wondering how many classes you feel is possible at one time with OSCMS. I am in need of talking with someone about that school. Thanks
I have noticed the increase in quality Bryan
Wow I've been watching you since you finished 1/2 your program! Really am happy for you and your FREE time!!! Enjoy it :D
Thanks so much I really appreciate it 😊
Love your editing. Want to hear more your work and wouldn't mind a quick tour at MSFT office

Congrats. been following for 3 yrs from admission process video to here.
awesome, thanks for coming along for the ride :)

@@dananabulsi yeah Im aware of how tough it will be, but Im also committed to it
Thanks so much! Yeah it is a marathon, not a sprint :)

What did you use for DSA prep and your interview experience at Microsoft (and IBM) ? (content idea)
Thanks- will definitely add that to the ideas list. In terms of prep, I just did around a month of LeetCode, but I think the interview experience itself could be interesting

It seems like you didn’t need the MS at all
Tbh I don’t disagree. Will see if it comes up/works in my favor for this upcoming rewards cycle
I'm interested in learning more about your at home desk setup
Thanks I'll definitely make one soon!
Hey Bryan , really nice video! I was wondering if I could help you edit your videos and also make a highly engaging Thumbnail which will help your video to reach to a wider audience .
For video requests- please make a week in Los Angeles video. Thanks in advance
might have to come back with the gh5

Are you planning to do some tutorials? Probably algorithms courses? 😅
I wasn't planning on it, per se, but I definitely will consider it! Any specific subjects you are interested? I am hesitant to do cover algorithms, since neetcode already explains things so well for free on his TH-cam (I watch him as well when I do algorithm/leet code prep)
@@bryan_truong probably not leetcode style. I was thinking more ok theory mostly learned in GA.
I just graduated from omscs today
You dropped this, king 👑
What was your bachelor in?
Was also in CS + I double majored with Information Science as well!
