I got accepted into master's program for computer science but got rejections for both electrical engineering and communication engineering. How much of a disadvantage is that when applying for roles in radar/automotive/audio processing?
Obviously I have a lot of freedom with regards to classes I pick and will be able to heavily emphasize EE subjects if I wish to, however most of these roles seem to primarily look for people with EE foundations.
On the other hand, a lot of roles in signal processing seem be to heavily leaning into machine learning which would be an advantage if anything, since cs curriculum tends to be more ml-heavy.

Would be very interested to hear from people working or hiring for positions in areas related to DSP.

Thanks in advance

Title should be self-explanatory and I'm mainly talking about music here.

An obvious/naive example would be something like a spectrogram.
Are there some other ways to process and compare audio files in a way that actually relates to the way humans perceive them (perhaps tempo, genre, mood, etc.)?

I've applied to google entry level position a couple of times this and last year. At first, I would generic rejection emails.
The last 2 applications I got no response at all.
Is it possible that they blacklisted me so that my application doesn't even get screened to begin with?
I'm in EU btw.
