canada

[worldly ridge]

at this point, just rent forever and retire at ur parents housue when ur old

or get a high income partner as well

ur already top 10% of earners if u make 100k>, so tehoreticaly speaking it will not be common to g et a high income gf

200k sounds abt right tbh, I did the calculations for like 600-800k real estates in toronto and if u also want to retire and have enough net safety in case u lose ur job, 200k per year is comfrotable compared to 100k wen ur basicaly housepoor at that point

or just take a brampton mortagge with 0.0001% downpayment and mortgage rate

[pine monolith]

Swap the contribution over to 100% (towards my patreon)

[tight gale]

Yea i fixed it called hr and they told me lol I was confused why my net pay was 0

[tight gale]

How to apply to neo financial

[dark portal]

Hey guys, how do I get an unpaid internship?

[tight gale]

I believe they are illegal in canada

Why would you want unpaid anyway

[dark portal]

Lol jk

Should I even bother applying to Amazon this late?

[barren sinew]

Didnt it just open up recently?

I applied to Amazon's new grad roles without even knowing when the application opened so I probably didn't time it perfectly. Still got an interview

[tight gale]

no it opened like 2 weeks ago, no point in applying now

[untold nebula]

its pretty early still

bro apply rn

[fickle juniper]

Zon will be hiring for the next 6-8 months. Ur still early lawl

[vivid fiber]

This is a lie! 💬 Do not 😠❌ believe this 😞 falsehood! I did 😲🏻 this 🌎 and 🏳 failed 🚫🚫 my 👨 interviews. The 🦁😍 interviewer was weirded out 👅 that 😤 i was 🅰👏 wearing 👙 sunglasses 👓 during our 🔥💩 video call. ☣ And 👏😵 when 😩 I 👉👁 said 💬 "I'm 🏻 just 🍆 following the ⤵👏 white ⬜😋 rabbit" 🐰 they 👉 disconnected!

[dark portal]

Is it inappropriate to ask an interviewer how much money they make?

[tight gale]

Oui mon muffin

[timid tartan]

What the…lmao

[fickle juniper]

That’s inappropriate to ask in general lawl

And then ask them how much they weigh with all the money they earn in a year in their pockets, that’s a good roundabout way of getting this info

[dark portal]

Good thinking

I'll ask all female interviewers how much they weigh going forward

It's a question they've never been asked in an interview b4, so I'll stand out

[analog current]

[knotty nova]

[misty inlet]

Anyone got Amazon OA today ?

[drowsy sierra]

Yes @misty inlet I did

[misty inlet]

Oh nice
When did you apply? @drowsy sierra

[drowsy sierra]

I think 15 days ago

[drowsy sierra]

Yes

[tight gale]

2023 grads get in line

Theres people from 2022 still in team match

[dark lintel]

Hey just

Be fast ok ?

🥺

[drowsy sierra]

Has anyone gave new grad OA1?

How’s it??

[dark portal]

This is why I want to get into Cisco

They don't have any of that team matching nonsense

You get to work straight on legacy code baby

[drowsy sierra]

Btw how’s the team matching process? I mean do they look for certain tech stack??

And also is it on us to choose a specific team or it’s done by amazon??

[dark portal]

Kinda. It's like a discussion where they go over the product

No, i think Google is the only one that does this

[steel escarp]

2 meds

[vapid oracle]

Does it tell you what you get on the behavioural part?

That's supposed to be the more important section

Oh not intern, mb

[steel escarp]

intenr ng same thing

LOL

i think we have same oa

[fallow bridge]

Hey guys

I live in Canada

I was wondering, is it worth it (financially speaking) to move to the US

I suspect there is a possibility to move to the US from Canada, for a same job that would pay more there but the rent and all stuff is more expensive.

So I'm not sure , what do you think?

[vapid oracle]

They sent me the OA, I'll do it later in the week

But I'm not confident at all I'll get in

[steel escarp]

ye coding is not bad

[vapid oracle]

I heard from a previous amazon intern you only need 80% on the coding section

[ruby fossil]

50%

Not sure bout now. Maybe they raised the bar

https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=6F9iygUoW64

[steel escarp]

bar is too high for me

[ruby fossil]

You gotta listen to the bar raiser song every morning when you wake up

That will get you to amazon next time

[vapid oracle]

Are you serious?

[ruby fossil]

It was yes

I got 1/2 on oa1 and i got inter ship

I think i lowered the bar though

[steel escarp]

not enough

lower it more

[ruby fossil]

I cant lower it by myself

Everyone else raising it up so too hard to lower

[dark portal]

Has anyone here interviewed at Intuit before?

[brave fable]

do you get auto-rejected from amazon internships if you also applied for new grad for the same year?

looks to be the case based on my observations

[summer matrix]

When did you apply

[vapid oracle]

3 weeks ago I think.. Idk, as soon as the internships were available.

[azure vortex]

is Intuit internship open for summer 2023?

[dark portal]

No not yet

But I just wanted to ask, because I think IBM -> intuit is a decent transition too

[azure vortex]

true

bro just go for faang

or cali job

[summer matrix]

I applied on July 15th

No OA yet

[tight gale]

Alot depends on the behavioral portion too

People ace technical and somehow dont pass

[fickle juniper]

Amazon OA I heard they look at the last one with like the office scenarios the most

[fluid surge]

sigh

praying to RNG gods

[ruby fossil]

Yeah amazon prefers if you embody the lps cause ownership = 24/7 working = slavery = profits

[fluid surge]

any tips on the office scenario q's

LMAO

if given the option, do you choose work longer + work OT everytime hahaha

[ruby fossil]

Oh gosh i dont remember lawl. Its hard cause some of the lps contradict each other

Ownership : They think long term and don’t sacrifice long-term value for short-term results.

Deliver Results : Leaders focus on the key inputs for their business and deliver them with the right quality and in a timely fashion.

[fluid surge]

gdi

[ruby fossil]

However, if you follow the Eisenhower Matrix then I think thats the best bet

[fluid surge]

well, i passed it last year. hopefully i didnt regress as a potential amazonian

awesome, thanks for this!

[ruby fossil]

Wellcl they raised the bar

Every day

[ruby fossil]

This was in one of the amazon decision making trainings to do so i bet they use this instead of thise silly lps

[fluid surge]

awesome thanks!

[dark portal]

Nah bro. Fuck Cali

I wanna go to NYC

You can literally make the similar amounts of money, while also turning it tf up in your 20s

The weather is a bit shit sometimes, but that's okay

Same here except for Montreal

[ornate sigil]

I wanna mine gold in Yukon

[vivid walrus]

[ornate sigil]

i’m deadass, i just watched yukon gold and im all in

[vapid oracle]

Doesn't that violate both the ownership and the insist on highest standards principle?

Oh nvm, I see the eisenhower stuff after

[eternal fossil]

no youre on the right path brother

[ornate sigil]

any november starters

[lucid berry]

Send an email to support

[quiet ferry]

no referral for me

[fluid surge]

no referral just RNG

[cinder kraken]

Did anyone take the Amazon OA yet?

[summer matrix]

When did you apply

[cinder kraken]

Roughly 2 weeks ago

[placid dawn]

this time im not taking it early lol

[placid dawn]

it went to my mailbox

[hot rapids]

I thought you weren’t under consideration anymore, how’d you get around that? :o

[placid dawn]

that was for the intern

this one is for sde

or fulltime

[fluid surge]

you applied for 2023 intern AND 2023 NG?

and got both? o.O

[placid dawn]

no just the ng

[fluid surge]

nice

i got the ng one as well

[placid dawn]

im not sure actually i got an email on my other email saying that i will get oa

then i got oa on my school email

guessing they fused the accounts

[fluid surge]

haha

would be nice if they gave out for both. two tries x)

[placid dawn]

lol yea

[fluid surge]

maybe i shouldve applied to intern instead bc easier interview

got greedy lol

[placid dawn]

ng can be easy too

rng

[quiet ferry]

just took oa1 and oa2 today

[fluid surge]

how was it?

[cinder kraken]

Can you tell us more about it?

[quiet ferry]

oa1 is 2 coding questions, oa2 is a behavioural / workplace simulation

i got all test cases on the coding oa, it was easy/med difficulty

[eternal fossil]

hey so i have a predicament

arista networks asked for my transcript, this is the same transcript that got me rejected from google even after i did amazing on the OA

so now im thinking its dogshit

and i just spent 30 mins trying to doctor it so i can atleast make it look like i have a gpa above 3

my real gpa is a 2.7

[oblique crater]

shopify layoffs going brazy

[eternal fossil]

should i pay for adobe suite and modify and submit or do u think arista will still give me a chance with my original transcript

[oblique crater]

nah that won’t end well might as well just send it

[steel escarp]

did u get the compare 2 algorithm thing and log file in oa2?

[eternal fossil]

damn it

ok

[steel escarp]

I think that technical part replace the debugging thing

[eternal fossil]

ill post my L in here after

[quiet ferry]

yup

[oblique crater]

i know 2 guys there, they love systems type people

show interest and do well on the technical and maybe they’ll look past the transcript

[eternal fossil]

ok i hope so

[steel escarp]

can I dm?

just curious about how other ppl answer it

i already did oa2 btw

and rejected 😢

[quiet ferry]

ya sure

[tight gale]

You still got a chance

You can apply for industry

[eternal fossil]

Be a man and do the 4x60

[tight gale]

It's also much more tc

Up to 240k in sf

[steel escarp]

Been rejected for like 3x industrial post loool

[tight gale]

The trick with industry is to get in touch with a recruiter

They can make sure you get sent an OA

[steel escarp]

👀 do u knoe any recruiter for amazon van/tor?

[vivid fiber]

piracy?

[eternal fossil]

Ya I’ll let my 2.7 talk for me

(It’s not doing too much talking)

[steel escarp]

btw im curious if industrial amazon has cd?

[tight gale]

I'm not 100% sure sometimes cd can be ignored

[steel escarp]

tyty ❤️

[eternal fossil]

Cd?

[timid tartan]

Bruh how to even get Amazon OA

[tight gale]

Impossibru

[vivid fiber]

Send me 10 bezos bucks and I'll send u one

[eager trout]

Could someone intro me to a recruiter or smthn pls

[eternal fossil]

how did you do stripe and dropbox?

[eager trout]

just applied and got em. they have cad offices

[prisma garnet]

Did you apply to internship or what?

[eager trout]

[misty inlet]

Does contacting a recruiter help in getting amazon new grad OA?

[steel escarp]

us is entering a recession

canada will get affected

then i'll have to compete with ex-janestreet for a burger flipping job at mcdonald

[potent hornet]

2023 gonna be bad year

[fickle juniper]

nah ur fine

ur 5x FAANG right?

[steel escarp]

prob more

10x

but FAANG rejection

[steel escarp]

[eternal fossil]

The way the economy going

I’m ending up at McDonald’s flipping burgers

[vapid oracle]

How long do recessions last? I don't grad until 2024, but I'm worried about how much of a fiasco the world will be then.

[tight gale]

5 years

[fickle juniper]

Ur probably fine for 2024 but who knows

[tight gale]

Your Canadian?

[fickle juniper]

2023 is not going to be good, will be a tighter market than 2022 for sure

[tight gale]

Are you sauder

[oblique crater]

ubc biz

[vivid walrus]

snek

[dark lintel]

Recession won’t last long it’s gonna get better soon just in this year

My two cents

Cause i feel like people are prepared for this

[oblique crater]

canada still has very high job vacancy rates

big tech slowing down since they boomed intensely but I’m hoping tier 2 and other companies will keep steady

[azure vortex]

what would you consider tier 2

[tight gale]

All the other companies not FAANG or unicorn

[orchid robin]

There's definitely more than 2 tiers

[dark portal]

This isn't gonna be a recession. This might just be an economic depression that lasts a couple of years (3 - 8 years)

https://youtu.be/HmvDM8J9vQ0

https://youtu.be/pw63w_hcLEU

In a nutshell, globalization is pretty much over at this point, and economies are going to have to start restructuring themselves

Furthermore, the war in Eastern Europe coupled with disastrous global harvest levels is going to result in countries becoming alot more "selfish"

this is all according to the guy I linked in these videos ^^

and he's gotten ALOT of predictions correct. I remember watching the 22nd video when he first posted it, and I thought this was another one of those doomsday videos. But, alot of his predictions came true lol

I hope I'm wrong ththough

also just ftr, the US as of today is technically in a recession. Their GDP has fallen for the 2nd straight quarter, even with a booming labour market (-1.6% for the quarter and -0.9 YOY). Things are about to get real fucking ugly, real quick.

[knotty nova]

https://tenor.com/view/huh-verne-over-the-hedge-turtle-disbelief-gif-24744867

[knotty nova]

@dark portal is it over for us

[prisma garnet]

this is a very pessimistic view of the current situation of the world. But I had the very same foresight on this.

everything seems so doomed

[prisma garnet]

but on the bright side, if the world is going to end then we probably don't need to worry about finding a job 👍

[potent hornet]

We prolly won’t see the effects of this until 2023, the US hasn’t started clearing their balance sheet, the interest rate hikes keep going up but are having 0 consequences right now, the only thing we having going for is right now is that unemployment rates are at a all time low

And also let’s not forget how the car market is right now, that shit is in a major ass bubble, there was also this thing on commercial mortgage backed securities which might just go boom in 2023 and crash everything

But in conclusion 2023 is gonna very fucked

[dark portal]

The only way out of this is for the feds to "shock" the economy into a recession. The incentive is not there at this point in time, but J Powell and the Feds have to raise interest rates by at least 350 Basis Points (at the minimum) during their next meeting in September

They absolutely need to start being more effective in tackling inflation, and just deal with the fact that we're going to have an economic downturn either way

[tawny zephyr]

its starting to pop lol

not a great time to be looking for a job

[dark portal]

The worst case scenario, and I'm afraid that at this point it might already be too late, is the economy starts a major downturn, while inflation continues clocking in sky high (and core CPI maintains a constant high rate), along with rising unemployment levels. That's gonna take at least 3 years to climb out of.

Back in the 80s we had a prolonged recession because the Feds weren't serious about tackling inflation. The recession lasted more than 2 years, but back then Volcker had effective policies. This isn't the case with J Powell, who doesn't seem to know what he's doing, and the incentive isn't even their for us anymore.

[dark portal]

Just joined the Canadian Armed Forces like me

[fickle juniper]

Pure conjecture and clickbait

I’m pretty pessimistic about 2023 because I think we’ll see a slowdown in the short term but y’all need to calm down, this isn’t Armageddon

There’s high inflation because there’s not enough supply to meet demand

Due to supply chain issues and people generally wanting to buy a lot of stuff

The reason we’ll see a slowdown is because I don’t trust the feds to be able to curb inflation without causing a recession in its efforts to slow down the economy via raising interest rates

They could finesse it, but I wouldn’t bet on that lol

A really bad outcome is if the feds raise interest rates but inflation persists due to continuing supply chain issues

But supply chain issues can be resolved through adapting and innovation, which I trust businesses to be able to do

All the other stuff in the videos about patterns and history and what-not is cherry-picking ideas to fit whatever narrative he wants to create. You can easily make similar videos about why this could be the start of the greatest bull run ever

I wouldnt trust the doom and gloom

Just keep doing lc and keep applying

[dark portal]

^^

I agree

Even if the economy goes to total shit, you can't do much other than apply

I think at the end of the day, if you graduate with internships (decent ones), then you're bound to get something

[cursive blaze]

Bruh where did the week go

Time has been flying

[tight gale]

996 life

[worldly ridge]

tbh life felt like it went by fast when ur working a 9 - 5

[worldly ridge]

💀 exactly

[cursive blaze]

Yeah for sure, time flies with the 9-5

[tight gale]

Yea everyone gets off at 5 haha

[cursive blaze]

I gotta take some vacation here soon ish

[dark portal]

This is why I want remote ft tbh

You can get up at 8 55 and clock out at 5 on the dot

You literally have 8 hours of your day to yourself

Whereas, if you have to go in-person, you gotta get up, make breakfast, get ready, commute, get settled in at work, and then once you clock out at 5, you have to commute home, and call it a night

You're actually working alot more than 8 hours when you factor in all the other stuff, closer to 10 or 11

[tight gale]

I'm remote and yea it's nice but theres a certain loneliness to it

Interacting with coworkers through an app isnt the same

[worldly ridge]

join some clubs outside of work 🙂

keeps me forom burning out

[tight gale]

Yea thinking of making a hinge or bumble acc

Work part time at a bar

Trust me. If they send you to the back, then I have bad news. But, if they keep you at the front and communicating with customers n shit, then you've got the looks. At that point, just forget that you're a CS student or Software Engineer, and you'll be fine

[tawny zephyr]

I destroyed mr peakedatoweek in badminton

because we totally got to play

[tawny zephyr]

volleyball is fun cuz theres always so much to do

I feel like I have pretty much peaked in badminton and progress isnt as noticeable but I still enjoy the sport

volleyball once u get good at something you always have to get good at something new to keep up

[tawny zephyr]

in badminton u will be playing against a bunch of old asian men 👍

personal exp

[worldly ridge]

SHUT UP

i miss u ash

No silly. For learning how to be more social with women, while having an incentive to show up. I know 1 software engineer who's done that

[vapid oracle]

Meeting people at bars is quite challenging tbh. Lots of skill required

Working there will let people get to know you without you having to go out of your way to approach strangers

[azure vortex]

when you hand the bar owner your software engineering resume

[vapid oracle]

Lmao for real

[oblique crater]

I’m proficient in Java
but can you wash cups

i’ll save you the conversation

[dark portal]

If I ever get a job in Montreal you bet that I'm taking a 10 hour/ week bartending job for the first 2 years

I'll be able to rapidly improve my French lmfao

[fickle juniper]

would u still move the Quebec

if they secede from Canada lawl

[tight gale]

Poutine overrated

[worldly ridge]

ash lets hope we play again soon ❤️

ull destroy my ass

[dark portal]

Yeah. Quebec is the most based province in the country.

I'm a Quebec separatist now... lol jk

But I would still move if they separated

[worldly ridge]

r u not moving to the us shaquile

[dark portal]

Yo guys on some real shit, if you wanna know whether you're ugly or not, just go to the East side of Montreal... stick around for the night, and if some men start asking you out or asking you for your number, then you're good looking. If not, I have some bad news.

[azure vortex]

what is the implication here

why east side of montreal

[tight gale]

I'm assuming gay people are concentrated there ?

[steel escarp]

sounds gey af

[dark portal]

Gay Village

That's where it is

I'm heterosexual btw, I just went to a club in that area not knowing what it's all about. BTW, I'm not homophobic and I support the LGBT community

[dark portal]

Ye

[steel escarp]

U sure ur straight 👀

[dark portal]

Yeah, I'm not the one simping for 150k as a ng

[steel escarp]

Thats hurt

I will compromise with 120

[dark portal]

Lmao

You Crack me up dude

Yo I might come to Ottawa in 2 weeks

I better see you at the office and we can probably hang out afterwards

[steel escarp]

Im thinking about slacking off and start grinding

Got couple of oas for ng lol

No return offer anyway

[dark portal]

I think you'll still get a return offer tbh

[fickle juniper]

Will IBM hit 120k for ng?

[dark portal]

And keep this on the lowkey, but ibm tends to lay off the older folks

[dark portal]

Not in the next 2 years, no.

[fickle juniper]

Really that’s surprising

[dark portal]

But, I think in about 5 years, ibm will start clocking in at 100k very frequently for ng roles

[fickle juniper]

Even sap is hitting 120k

And I feel they’re the same ilk

[dark portal]

Honestly, the range is huge at ibm. You can start off at the lowest point at 75k, and I think go up to 110k

[dark portal]

This is why I want to make a lateral move to sap, Expedia, cisco

It's super realistic for me to make such a move tbh

[fickle juniper]

Is that because of Montreal?

Google has an office there too

[dark portal]

Ottawa / Montreal, yes lol

[azure vortex]

why make a lateral move

[dark portal]

If I can get Google mtrl, I'd be so fucking stoked lol

[azure vortex]

when you can climb

[dark portal]

It doesn't have to be lateral

If I can get affirm remote, I'd be happy

[fickle juniper]

I don’t see why you don’t only apply to FAANG+ at this point

[dark portal]

Or any other faang / unicorn that let's me work from mtrl

[azure vortex]

are u not going to apply US jobs

this guy is a montreal addict

jessus fuck

[fickle juniper]

FAANG+ only I mean

It’s cool if u want to stay at one place

[dark portal]

For summer '23 internships? Only in NYC and some other north eastern cities

[azure vortex]

i respect it

[fickle juniper]

But there are a lot better remote/Montreal options than sap, Expedia, Cisco I feel

[azure vortex]

Montreal has a large game dev scene

[fickle juniper]

Oh yeah unity is there too

[dark portal]

Yo, I had a French chick talk about her ancestry with me yesterday in a bar, while I was reevaluating my life decisions

I fucking love this city. I swear.

And then 2 guys came up to me and asked me for my number, to which I politely declined

[fickle juniper]

2 guys, like in a group?

You were almost in for a helluva time lawl

[dark portal]

No. A Spanish guy and a white dude

The white guy interrupted my conversation and tried talking to me, he slipped in that he wanted my number to which I replied that I had a girlfriend (I dont)

[placid dawn]

his love is in Montreal

[dark portal]

The Spanish dude I met out in the street when I exited the bar and was walking home, to which I also said I have a girlfriend (and once again I fucking don't)

[placid dawn]

u shoulda gave him ur number

[dark portal]

I'm good bro

[placid dawn]

maybe he's a meta recruiter

[dark portal]

I had a feeling he was. So I didn't

[placid dawn]

ass for meta job? good trade imo

[fickle juniper]

What meta recruiters, they’ve all been laid off

[dark portal]

Lmao

[placid dawn]

theyve been laid off

but not laid

[fickle juniper]

Not by @dark portal anyway

[placid dawn]

guys rate my profile

https://www.linkedin.com/in/scarletnguyen

[plain plover]

@dark portal you are raving about montreal like you are paid to do it. Lol.

[barren sinew]

I don't think you have anything to worry about with that list of names

Doubt any recruiter even reads what's written

[dark portal]

No lol

Anyways guys, I'm gonna go get fucked up tonight

[dark portal]

11/10

Any tips on getting interviews at Bolt when you're drunk and high at the same time? I can only pass interviews at IBM when hungover

[orchid robin]

[dark portal]

Let me get to the interview stage first

[tawny zephyr]

[potent hornet]

[dark portal]

It's the next Google bro

[ornate sigil]

[barren sinew]

Not my place but you might have a drinking problem. I feel like 60% of all your convos talk abput drinking

[oblique crater]

bruh let my man live, getting fucked up on the weekend is average university experience

@dark portal you make me wanna visit montreal so bad

[steel escarp]

curious if we can share codesignal result from a different email than the one we use to apply job?

[steel escarp]

hotel or shit is like 100+ per night

i wanted to go but my wallet has a big hole

[oblique crater]

man the price of everything in canada is ridiculous this summer

everywhere I go there's thousands of people and I'm wondering how everyone is affording all this

post pandemic got people wanting to spend money

[steel escarp]

that is so sad

maybe if u go in the winter it might be cheaper

but i dont even wanna go out in canada during winter

LOL

[oblique crater]

well I mean that's just it

you save money and work your ass off all winter and you spend it all in the summer on booze and staycations

the canadian dream

[steel escarp]

LOL

[oblique crater]

round trip from edmonton to montreal is 1200

in like 2 weeks

[steel escarp]

like including everything?

or just transit?

LOL

bus from ottawa to montreal is like 50 one way

so 100 for a round trip

[oblique crater]

just the flights lmfao

guess i'm not doing that this year

[steel escarp]

LOOOL

I remember my round flight from calgary to ottawa

is like 200

that includes 1 checked in bag

[oblique crater]

vancouver was like $150 so idk what's up with montreal in general

[steel escarp]

prob too many ppl go to montreal

its like festival seasons around here lol

[oblique crater]

yeah same with BC though

big cities are bumpin post pandemic

[worldly ridge]

vacations are too expensive for it to be worth it tbh nowadays

[steel escarp]

ikr

[worldly ridge]

esp if you go to EU

[steel escarp]

EU is cheap no?

because euro is fked

[oblique crater]

travelling is life changing

[worldly ridge]

well i went to france when EU currency was storng af ew years ago

[steel escarp]

its like 1er = 1 usd now

[worldly ridge]

@oblique crater ik the epxerience is amazing but holy shtits expensive

[oblique crater]

yeah not at the exchanges though

the demand of euros is massive especially right now with travel season so the difference won't be as big as you think

[worldly ridge]

i remember my mom spent like 40k on our france trip n im like wtf thats like a yearly salary of what ppl make im enver going to do that

[steel escarp]

LOL

if i ever travel

[oblique crater]

that's a bit overkill wtf

[steel escarp]

i'd prefer asian countries

not because im an asian

[worldly ridge]

yeah it is

[steel escarp]

but because its cheap

LOL

[worldly ridge]

moms literaly burning cash for fun

[oblique crater]

nah staying at hostels, travelling light and eating regular food and you can go for cheap anywhere

[steel escarp]

even if u go to some of those expensive countries like korea or japan

[worldly ridge]

flights expensive though in asia

[steel escarp]

its still cheaper than here

[steel escarp]

not really

u can find some real good deals

if u plan like 6 months ahead

[worldly ridge]

i mean compare dto a 100 dollar flight

LOL

to montreal

[oblique crater]

europe is only expensive for the dumb touristy stuff cause they know people come in with high willingness to spend

[steel escarp]

idk

like most of flights to asia let u have 2 checked in bags

if u actually count it then its not really bad

[oblique crater]

yeah international flights are way more expensive obv

[steel escarp]

ii'd say u can find 1k deal for a round flight to asia

[oblique crater]

but you shouldn't do 4 days in asia if you're going that's more of a 2 week minimum imo

[steel escarp]

ye

LOL

i wanna go to korea and japan

👀

i like korean food

[worldly ridge]

[oblique crater]

those aren't any cheaper than europe

cheap asian countries are thailand, indonesia, malaysia (ish)

[worldly ridge]

SEA region is cheap

you can eat street food

for like 1 dollar a meal

lmao

[steel escarp]

ye but those are like one of the most expensive places in asia

LOL

[steel escarp]

i missed that lol

[worldly ridge]

whenever i think of spendign money on vacation i always think that the money can be ujse to save up for a home or investmetns haha, idk if you guys also do that

[steel escarp]

i miss the feeling when there are bunch of options to choose for breakfast/lunch when ever i step out of my house in the morning lol

[worldly ridge]

ahh are you from SEA

[steel escarp]

vietnam lol

[worldly ridge]

I see 🙂

[oblique crater]

I wanna go to vietnam very soon

[steel escarp]

why 👀

[oblique crater]

cheap and beautiful

[steel escarp]

hmm

cheap maybe 👀

depends on where u go

beautiful prob

depends on where u go

[oblique crater]

nature is my thing

i've seen enough concrete jungles

[worldly ridge]

have u beent to banff groot

[oblique crater]

yeah

[worldly ridge]

🙏

[steel escarp]

banff is goated

i love hiking in banff

👀

[oblique crater]

many times, if I get a remote job I'm likely moving really close to there

[steel escarp]

isn't it expensive there?

[fickle juniper]

Yoho National Park in AB

Most beautiful place I’ve ever been

[steel escarp]

cuz its like vacation place

[worldly ridge]

peru is nice too, quite clsoe to here and very natureyy

[oblique crater]

oh yeah, but might as well pay more to live in a beautiful place with lots of new people to meet constantly than on a shoebox in a major city

[steel escarp]

u can live in calgary tho

its like 1hr drive to banff

[oblique crater]

yeah that's my secondary option

can't live in banff without working there, I was thinking canmore

[worldly ridge]

cant u also do vancouver

housing prices

though

[steel escarp]

u have been to alberta?

[worldly ridge]

[steel escarp]

👀

bruh housing in toronto/van is something else

[oblique crater]

that's exactly what I don't want to do unless I'm forced to, like 2k in alberta can get me my own house wheres that will be a nice 1 bedroom apartment in vancouver

[steel escarp]

2k can get u a prob 3 bedroom house in calgary tho

its pretty good

[worldly ridge]

work in the us for a bit, buy a house in vanc

https://tenor.com/view/gigachad-chad-gif-20773266

as long as u dont get shot

[steel escarp]

don't u get taxed both way even when u work in us

as a canadian?

u have to pay both canadian and us tax?

[worldly ridge]

not if ur under us payroll

like if u phsycialy rellcate

to the us

relocate*

under TN visa

[steel escarp]

Canadians who live or work abroad or who travel a lot may still have to pay Canadian and provincial or territorial income taxes.

👀

i think u still have to pay the difference in tax even if u work in the state under tn

like if state tax is 20%

canadian is 30%

u have to pay 10% in state

and 10% difference in canada

[worldly ridge]

stop ur lying to me

soemone told me u dont have to wtf

why we taxed everywhere 😦

[fickle juniper]

Yes many times, I lived there for 2yrs even

[steel escarp]

oh ye i remember u said it

[worldly ridge]

ohh

i thinks this is why some people undeclare their residency

[steel escarp]

lol does it affect ur citizenship or pr stuff?

[worldly ridge]

im not sure about pr

but i remember a canadian citizen dude told me he udneclared his residency but plan to move back

idk if hes in the wrong or what though, but he told me its fine to avoid taxes

disclaimer, he did this without an immigiration lawyer

sooo. take it witha grain of salt

[steel escarp]

so if something happens to u overseas then technically ur not canadian and u dont get protected by canadian government?

[worldly ridge]

yeah i guess u become a us resident? im not sure how it works

wait

@gloomy nymph

might know

🙂

[steel escarp]

it sounds sus if canadian is ur only citizenship

[worldly ridge]

answer our questions trout enjoyer >:C

[oblique crater]

nah my friends family were non-residents for a while

some restrictions but not too bad

[tawny zephyr]

"some restrictions"

mf I am restricted on everything I do

[oblique crater]

i'm not too familiar with how it works that's what i've heard, elaborate

[tawny zephyr]

I am on a study visa

whenever I want to apply to school

I have to give an extensive detail on my visa and I dont think I qualify under 101

I might be mistaken

I cant work

I am not even sure if I can drive but I am sure theres limitations on that as well

[oblique crater]

that's not non-resident

you're just international

[tawny zephyr]

nah I am resident

I moved with family

[oblique crater]

do you have a canadian passport?

[tawny zephyr]

no I am a resident of canada

its different than international

to school i go to if u are international u have to pay $$ to go but I dont cuz I am a resident

I just dont have PR or a Canadian Passport

[oblique crater]

yeah which is why you're more restricted than a citizen who doesn't live here for more than 6 months of the year

that's non-resident

[dark portal]

How long have you lived in Canada for?

[tawny zephyr]

closing in on 7 months

although I dont like it very much

[tawny zephyr]

yep

I hate the no work rule tho

its fucking bs

[steel escarp]

Just get js

Canadian gov cant stop u

[tawny zephyr]

JS overrated

gonna get bb

sponsor + ticket to nyc

[steel escarp]

Big boobs are overrated

I like loli more

[tawny zephyr]

ayooooo

[south rose]

canmore?

u dont wanna live in Canmore bruh

[oblique crater]

why not

[south rose]

are u white

[oblique crater]

no

[south rose]

ngl the town kinda racist from my experience

you get looks if ur not a local

[oblique crater]

it's a touristy town wdym

[south rose]

different service

[oblique crater]

are we talking about the one outside of banff?

[south rose]

yeah the locals dont like

[oblique crater]

you lived there?

[fickle juniper]

Canmore is literally one strip

I stayed there on a road trip, it’s like not even a street

[south rose]

nah i visited

to vist banff and everything else

[oblique crater]

yeah the point isn't to do everything in canmore, but you can't rent a place in banff without working in the town itself

I would ideally just get the yearly park pass and hangout in banff, I wanna get into wintersports and it's a strategic location

but calgary is as well

[gloomy nymph]

Idk dude Lmao

[tight gale]

Holiday tomorrow

[steel escarp]

but u work for the state's team

do u get holiday tomorrow as well?

[modest narwhal]

fr i needed the holiday

[placid dawn]

i hate holidays

[tight gale]

Yes

I live in BC so I legally get the day off

I don't get US holidays off even if 90% of the team is gone

[steel escarp]

did u get canada rate or us rate for salary

[tight gale]

Canada

[dark portal]

what company do you work for?

and is it an internship or ft?

[tight gale]

Amazon ft

[worldly ridge]

we need a weeklong civic day

[cinder kraken]

What is the process of applying to US internships without visa eligibility? I keep applying saying I need visa sponsorship and get instantly rejected .

[ornate sigil]

i think in this market most companies might not want to sponsor

[cinder kraken]

F

[ornate sigil]

best odds would be to get a return offer from a google or microsoft and ask for usa office

[cinder kraken]

I see. Will grind and see what I get.

[barren sinew]

You would declare yourself a non resident in Canada if you're moving to the states which means you only pay US taxes. To be a non resident you just need to show you've severed ties like not living here anymore. You'd lose access to healthcare and other benefits but you'd still be a Canadian citizen and have the benefits that entail

[steel escarp]

Interesting lol

[barren sinew]

You also lose things like CPP contributions and TFSA access but the extra pay in the states make up for it

[timid tartan]

[dark portal]

See bro, I keep preaching to everyone that Cisco, IBM, SAP, and Oracle are the real deals, because they're blue chip boomer tech companies

[dark portal]

150 - 200k I'm pretty sure

[fickle juniper]

HubSpot is insanely chill

[timid tartan]

I’ve heard 160-170k ish

[timid tartan]

Nah bro not 200 😂😂😂😂😂

[tight gale]

That's really good

[dark portal]

IBM / Cisco ft or bust lmao

[fickle juniper]

Uhhh

You can get that at FAANG too tho

I’d say it’s good but not like super good

[tight gale]

Not in canada except amazon

[dark portal]
