    Thank you for this amazing insightful video! I switched from healthcare focus to CS as well, so this is extra helpful, I really appreciate your transparency.

    Hi Lucy! How was it managing school and Reworld at the same time? Can you talk about your time management and any tips against burnout?

    Great video! However you mentioned that recruiters screen for CS on your resume. I am a computer engineering major so I just wanted to know whether it’s fine to put that on my resume or do I have to switch to CS

    Hi definitely not! I think the best thing you can do at any age is to just apply to as many places as possible!

    Hi. Lucy. I am a cs student, but I have no tech experience, and I rarely join some clubs because I am kind of introverted. I will create some projects. Do you think it is enough to apply for an internship?

    Anything is enough to apply to an internship! It’s better to apply than not apply at all! Good luck!!

    I used mostly LinkedIn learning which isn’t the best resource out there but it’s decent and free through my university!

    Hi! I was managing school and Reworld remotely because of COVID, so I didn’t have to commute which saved a lot of time. I also didn’t have as many distractions like hanging out with friends because I was not on campus. So I developed a mindset of work hard now so I can “play hard” later. I suggest planning out time for each activity each week. I also recommend taking time to step away from everything to relax/recharge. Lmk if you have any other questions!
