I’m genuinely curious, because all I hear is that you shouldn’t be here as a fresh grad and that you should go outside and how bad the job market is here for everyone

But I’m curious, if your family works here and they’re friends work here, as fresh grad, isn’t that a whole lot of connections/wasta that most people don’t have?

If you have this kind of network of family and/or friends, wouldn’t this mean it won’t be too difficult finding a job early after graduating here?

Is it possible as a CIT grad to get a job here paying like this right after graduating?

Will it only be with the help of network, nepotism and wasta?

All I hear is that u shouldn’t be here as a fresh grad but some people have no choice of leaving here…5-6k right after graduating is really good

Did you apply? Did you get in? Are you already in?

Like the title asks,

If you’re just out of high school or maybe did a year or two of traditional uni (between the ages of 18-20 basically)

Why did you choose SNHU online instead of pursuing a degree at a traditional brick and mortar considering most students here are working adults?

I’m curious because I’m in the same bracket, did 1.5 years of traditional uni uni and it just didn’t work for me but I’m intrigued by this

Is anyone here based in the UAE?

Would love to connect if you’re studying at LU online and you’re based in the UAE!

If you’re not but you know someone who is, do refer them to this post and I’d really appreciate it

I’ve heard of Team Nogueira, TKMMA and UFC GYM.

I’m looking for MMA, not pure Muay Thai, bjj or boxing

Also I’d like to know if the beginners train together and not with the experienced because I don’t wanna get shit on starting out and get embarrassed ngl boys, is that how it works?

Also do you recommend MMA or a pure discipline like Muay Thai? I’m doing this for myself and my own confidence not to compete

Since SWE is getting really cooked and the job market for software jobs everywhere insanely competitive and saturated

What other types of jobs can a CS degree get you as a fresh grad?

Maybe something mixed in business + tech?

A CS degree must be very versatile in opening many other job opportunities not related to code or SWE no?

Would like your advice

Like the tile asks,

Is it possible if I transfer in 70-90 credits into the CS degree? Is it even possible to transfer that many from Sophia/ Study.con into CS at SNHU since it’s a stem degree?

I also don’t like coding/math, but I want a very versatile tech degree, would like to get into product management or more business + tech type jobs.

me (GTM/business dev. side), my co founder (AI/ML engineer) and the rest of the team (4 SWE's) tried many things in AI-agents the past 5-6 months, agencies, SaaS, services, all of it. We landed one client through our network, built a fully custom AI-platform for them. Still running. (i made a recent post about this but wanted to make it clearer)

But recently i've been really interested in the AI-native agency/service company model where you use internal AI-agents to sell an outcome (service) to an ICP instead of relying on human labour solely. (Requested by YC in RFS 26')

Like the recent success with tryprism (dot) com and Andustry (both YC 26). But there's two ways we can go about it.

1. We build a fully AI-native agency of some sort from the ground up (something like an AI-native GTM or recruitment agency for a very narrow ICP, and we sell a specific outcome)

or

2. We act as an AI-infrastructure/engineering partner to existing traditional agencies like GTM, recruitment or something else, we come in, and we build custom vertical ai-agents to cut workflows short, increase margins and have them scale easily without adding any headcount or losing on profit (they become non-linear to scale) which is the whole point of turning an agency "AI-native".

I dont know which route is better considering we don't actually have deep domain expertise in GTM, recruitment or other agency models where we can build one from the ground up, we would be able to build the internal agents pretty damn well (our expertise and leverage).

were a very, very good AI and software engineering team with good expertise in building complex vertical ai-agents. That's why im stuck...

In your opinion, which makes more sense? building an AI-native agency in a specific domain like GTM and selling the outcome ("demos booked"), or becoming the AI-engineering team/partner that comes in and builds custom AI-agents, expand them and maintain them for existing traditional agencies (will narrow down the ICP significantly tho) for a retainer basis?

Like the title asks, if I transfer many courses from ACE credits and do the next year online and then I’ll have a few courses left, ca I go complete them on campus?

after reading about YC’s spring and summer 26’ request for AI-native agencies & service companies

I decided I’ll shift our current startup from being AI GTM Engineer SaaS (it’s an AI agent for GTM) to an AI-native GTM team/agency that uses this agent itself to sell the outcome to a very narrow ICP in B2B tech

But then

I realised that me, my co founder and the rest of the 4 engineers don’t actually have deep experience in GTM, sure, they’re all superb SWE’s and my co founder is an AI/ML engineer who built many agents but

How will we perfect such an agent that should serve these companies without actually one of us having deep domain expertise

So I thought, since we wanna go down this route of AI-native service companies because the potential is immense

Why don’t we act as an engineering team for existing successful GTM agencies and help turn *those* AI-native instead with the AI-agent we were initially building while we manage it, expand it into deeper workflows, maintain it, etc on a retainer basis

We’d be “AI-nativizers” for them instead, I mean the whole point of having or turning a service company into being AI native is to increase margins to near software like (70-90%) and make it easier to scale without adding headcount or losing on profit

I hope this doesn’t just sound good in my head but, we initially started as a software company many months ago then pivoted to SaaS then now repositioning to this

“Helping existing GTM agencies increase margins by 15-20% and scaling without adding headcount or losing on profit using our vertical AI agents that we imbed into every workflow to turn them AI-native”

Would love your insights on this, founders!

Think of it like we’re selling the managed service tier of a SaaS but for existing GTM agencies

If i graduate from TESU or SNHU with a bachelors in Computer science ( it's online but the degree itself doesn't mention that because they are traditional schools with physical campuses too and they're properly regionally accredited, not degree mills)

can I pursue an online or in person masters in a traditional Engineering like Industrial or Civil?

because I heard aslong as you have a bachelors in STEM, you can do a Masters in traditional engineering but it might require some pre-requisites ( i have 26 credits previously from Mechanical Engineering too)

Is it true that the solution to any saturated market or business model would be a very narrow ICP ?

I’m asking because I’m starting to build an AI-native GTM team for B2B SaaS but obviously that’s very saturated, (not inherently a bad thing but still difficult)

And I’m worried about sounding like 500 other companies in every founders’ inbox…

But then I got some advice that said just narrow down your ICP within B2B SaaS 3 levels deep and that the solution to saturation is a very narrow ICP

Would love your take/advice for me on this
