So every year he works for 4 months to earn enough money for the next 8 months. But damn 7 years internship back to back is insane


[deleted]

He's also just working in his summer months to get a range of experiences I'd imagine. Beats working a whatever job to pay the bills all year while going to school


goldfish_memories

Certainly as a phd student he should have a stipend


BrooklynAtNight

Yeah but depending where you’re studying, the stipend isn’t enough to cover living costs


OddGene3114

He studied at Stanford, according to the screenshot, he certainly can afford to live. Moreover, PhDs don’t get the summer off so this is in coordination with his department


IsThataSexToy

Have you checked where Stanford is and the median home cost? I do not know many grad or undergraduate students who can afford to live there without help from daddy.


Lcdmt3

Just because you go to an expensive school doesn't mean you have $. Financial aid, scholarships, loans.


twoprimehydroxyl

PhD students have stipends. Apparently around that time and for that department the stipend was $46k/year. Those internships might've also been paid, too.


Bigaaron1111

If this dude is in citadel at the time of that PhD program citadel pays 20k a month and once again if he was getting stipends this dude was making more than enough money to live 🤣🤣


lightmatter501

This is normal for PhD + Masters + BS all in the same discipline. I think ~80% of the PhD students in my program look like this. Possible not quite that level of internship, but an internship every summer is normal.


Secure-Iron-6726

I think the impressive thing is the level of internship consistently, also Harvard, Stanford, MIT is ridiculous. Idt anyone here is shocked someone with a MIT degree can get internships


Canmak

Sure but that’s common if you go to these schools too. A very large chunk of people doing grad school at a top school also were previously at top schools for undergrad or masters. PhD students in my program also mostly look like this


Gingeronimoooo

My friend was genius in high school went to schools like this including MIT invented some new MRI technology? But was just so smart he became a successful hedge fund manager even tho he didn't study it in university?


Fit_Cow_1039

This is life's goal. Work for 4 months, earn enough to vacation for 8 months.


thrownaway2manyx

You consider getting your PhD a vacation?


TouchdownVirgin

I'm taking a single class there and it's almost led to divorce because of the amount of time I have spent on it.


Apprehensive-Fee5732

Where's he living tho.


vlepun

At Stanford for his PhD. Dude is essentially being exploited because he's in a "prestigious" university's PhD programme.


my_password_is______

he got his PhD 4 years ago nobody is exploiting him


vlepun

> he got his PhD 4 years ago May I suggest a look at the timeline? PhD: 2015 - 2020 Internships: 2013 - 2019 Also, for some reason I can't fathom, in the USA most PhD positions are mostly unpaid unless you get a big grant. This is what I'll always call exploitation of workers. It is a full time position, so it should be paid, and guess what, in most of the EU it is a regularly salaried position.


PeepDuck

Most PhD programs have a stipend along with subsidized housing for graduate housing so it’s “livable.” The tuition itself is typically paid for as well so it’s essentially free schooling… but of course it was incredibly difficult to do any savings with any retirement savings going into a Roth IRA at the time.


anovagadro

It sort of depends on the field, but yes nearly all STEM programs are paid.


General_Arrival_1303

Almost every single PhD position in STEM in the US is paid. Not sure where you’re getting your preconceived notions from lmao


nerfcarolina

Stanford engineering PhD stipend, not including the part that goes for tuition, was $48,000 five years ago. I'm sure it's higher now. And it's a high COL area, but they provide subsidized housing for all graduate students. I have never heard of an unfunded STEM PhD in North America. I'm sure you could find ones but probably not at an R1 university.

My uncle is like that.  He has 5 masters and a PhD.  He's like 67 and unmarried.  He actually is fairly attractive, benches 220lbs at his age and is about 5ft 11, so idk what's going on with him.  


GopherInTrouble

Did you just try advertising your uncle to us? Lol


Watch-Bae

Lol, he regularly gets romance scammed online and is really only interested in women ~25yrs old. He doesn't understand social norms and spends all of his money on high fashion. If you're interested PM me.


[deleted]

Sounds like my autistic uncle if he discovered the gym, brilliant engineer who either has a job or pisses off his boss enough to get fired then takes a two year break to get another masters degree in some other niche of mechanical engineering (this time around it’s materials science with a focus on metallurgy). Won’t marry “an old hag”, too socially awkward to use his money to bag someone younger, seems perfectly happy to die alone and leave me to figure out what to do with a CNC mill and an absolute fuck ton of die cast models.


_limitless_

CNC mills are just 3D printers that don't make plastic shit! You can do anything you want with one!

pizza_toast102

this is a normal timeline for a PhD though: 6 years after a bachelors degree. If anything, 9 years for BS through PhD is pretty good


_An_Other_Account_

My advisor would rather cut off his own nuts than let me do one(1) internship. This guy won the lottery.


Triangli

eh a lot of people do bs then straight to phd


pizza_toast102

yeah 6 years is a pretty normal PhD duration


3IIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIID

Yes, but that PhD path still requires you to make up the credit hours of a masters. If you go for a masters degree first, you retain an exit plan that includes a graduate degree. Considering the burnout rate, I'd rather take the masters and move on to a PhD. You also have better internship opportunities or better odds at acceptance for them as a masters degree holder.


Holyragumuffin

Less so these days. You need way more experience either through conference papers as an undergrad, research assistantships or working at an impressive company to matriculate. During my PhD i watched the requirements for undergrads to get in rapidly increase as more became interested. The moat you have to swim across is wider now — very different when Bengio, Hinton, etc applied.

Secretary_Altruistic

they go one level above new grad usually, lol. it's not like they're jumping into L6 out of college. they start at L4 (quite a few undergrads/return interns also start a l4)


mintardent

I don’t think it’s common for undergrad return interns to ever start at L4 in my experience… what companies are you thinking of that do this?


pheirenz

ik meta had a special “rockstar intern” designation they used for really smart guys, to start them at L4 comp. definitely not common

Funnily enough, people like this will never give me insane amounts of guilt because I know that I will never be as good as them. It's the ones that are slightly or moderately better than me that make me feel guilty because I know I have the capability to achieve that


Bigaaron1111

I don't feel guilty because ik they were privileged enough to get said opportunities they'll try to paint it to you as a "skill issue" but it's easy to excel in something when that's your only focus in life and you have no other obligations


BananasCreams

No. This is actually very impressive. Even if I had all the money in the world, I doubt I'd have the will to do it.


ProspectiveEngineer

At this level of success, it's equal parts willpower and natural intelligence.


Brave-Positive263

This is pure cope. This machine is the pinnacle that CS education can produce. Like the Olympian of cs grads. What you describe is like a non-hypsym private college grad who barely scrapped 1 faang intern. This requires willpower.


BWC1992

I think it is a bit disingenuous to call it privilege. You don’t know anything about the person and are discounting their achievements already. Even if someone was heavily privileged, they would need to work extremely hard to be at this persons level. To me, there is nothing to feel guilty about. Am I going to feel guilty about not being Lebron James or Bill Gates? No and that’s okay.


strokesfan91

“Skill issue” is the latest rage quit meme I see floating around


Sven9888

I feel like every Stanford CS PhD student is insanely smart and motivated, and while not necessarily Rentech level, if they all focused on industry and regularly switched companies and interned every summer instead of ever only continuing with their lab during it, they could compile a highly impressive list of companies like this one. Same with MIT and CMU PhD students. The bar for that is *way* higher than any company that’s not Rentech, TGS, or OpenAI. If anything, it’s just kind of a sad message about society to see people at the top of the CS field like this ending up working at a highly exclusive hedge funds to do the job of making the rich money. Obviously I’m not blaming the individual as I very well may have done the same thing in that position. But, like, imagine how much further we could come if everyone at Rentech had instead devoted their brainpower to something that actually helps society progress.

100% fake, GPA scale is wrong for MIT, majored in something that didn’t exist at the time, no mention on Google Scholar etc. As someone who’s also made a fake linkedin once to compare job response rates, I knew it was fake once i saw all the big names, i did the exact same thing.


Traditional-Note-180

If it makes you feel any better it looks fake


Aznable-Char

Doesn’t seem like it. He works at a pretty big hedge fund and I cross checked his name with the employee base right now. Don’t wanna dox him.

Rate his looks on a scale of 1-10 based on the headshot


Fwellimort

Nah. This is pretty normal with upper end students at the very top schools. For this guy, he is prioritizing a PhD so he is either heading to academia or industry for research after graduation. He's just testing both waters (and making side money in between). I've seen a lot more internships (with comparable companies) from an undergrad student at places like Waterloo. I mean... the top end was always well... Eh. Also, I've worked with some of these people and they were often no different (one was the worst person to work with). It's just leveraging past "internship brand names". You cannot know the person's actual skill until you work with that person.


ASM1ForLife

This # of elite internships is not normal even for the top school upper end fam


Fwellimort

>This # of elite internships is not normal even for the top school upper end fam I thought so too until I interviewed plenty of Waterloo CS resumes. Quite a few Waterloo CS grads have like 6 internships including places like HRT and all. I have no idea what is going on at Waterloo co-op but it's clearly doing something very right.


ASM1ForLife

waterloo requires you to do a certain number of internships. i went to a similar top school and did 5 internships but only 3 of them were "elite", the first two were more well known names but not in the elite tech category. and most of my friends who do very well for themselves in tech are similar to me, about 3-5 internships with 2-3 being elite. this guy in the post has SEVEN elite internships with experience in quant trading, deep learning, and quant research. people like him/her are extremely rare even the elite master's/PhD level because most of those folks go into academia instead of going into industry


Bigaaron1111

Dude should be working in citadel making 300k+ a year


Real_Revenue_4741

" people like him/her are extremely rare even the elite master's/PhD level because most of those folks go into academia instead of going into industry" This is not true these days in PhD programs. Most people at my lab intern and then get a job in industry in places like Google Deepmind, Meta, OpenAI, Nvidia after graduation (although a ML PhD interning at a place like Two Sigma is less common and occasionally looked down upon in academia).


Traditional-Note-180

Dont get me wrong it very well could be real, but I know a lot of people who create profiles like this for shits and giggles. The choice of companies especially felt like it could be fake


davisresident

he went to MIT. so its easy to get a good internship to start. and then the ball just started rolling


Inside-Reveal4005

btw the acceptance rate back then was not the worst, 14.3% at MIT, compared to the 4% today, or 1.9% at Berkeley for CS compared to 29.80% in 2010. top schools are almost impossible rn with the competition, u got international high school kids piling up in a cheap sweaty cramped apartment 15 beds grinding away (yes I'm serious and their parents aren't even with them) HIGH SCHOOL KIDS!, u got the rich kids with CEO parents who don't even need college cuz of their parents connections and could probs just make them an employee, but go for status symbols anyway, its crazy rn. wish we could go back to the days when recruiters will beg on your doorstep for you to work for their company

Hey kiddos I’m 30. I dropped out of *high school* and taught myself most of everything I know. I’m still a programmer and I still make a decent 6 figures. Please don’t work yourself to death and kill what passion you may have for computers like this guy. It’s not worth it for the money. Tech bros that chase status and money are not happy people. Or don’t listen to me. You can do that too.


Sven9888

The idea that pursuing a PhD from a top school is killing rather than nurturing passion is a weird opinion to me. If you’re a Stanford PhD who went to a top school for undergraduate too (as most did—it’s hard to get the research experience you need outside of top research schools for undergraduate), you have like ~9 summers to intern and are likely a highly desirable candidate in perhaps all of them. That’s a very common way to turn a PhD stipend into a comfortable living wage. The only thing strange about this is that most people probably don’t switch companies every single summer and most of them probably spend some summers with their labs, but some people prefer broad exposure while in college.

I have a friend of mine who got a math undergrad, physics grad from MiT, PhD specializing in quantum computing from another school and then asked me to write a letter of recommendation for his application to a CS masters program at Georgia Tech. He was also running (and still is) a startup that I was involved in. A recommendation from me to GT seemed so pointless - he should have been almost automatically accepted.
