Ye cuz most backend works are in moser team

[spring wren]

[steel escarp]

Have u ever heard about them?

[spring wren]

moser?

nope

[steel escarp]

Thats where all the cool stuff in cognos comes from

[spring wren]

maybe i should've asked to transfer teams

[steel escarp]

They are in charge of control the data flow

[spring wren]

my team did cool stuff but i did nothing

[spring wren]

that's sick seems like lots of opportunity

[steel escarp]

Have u ever heard about data module?

[spring wren]

[steel escarp]

[spring wren]

hey canadians, i have a quick question—so amazon has US & Canadian postings out for 2023 SDE internships

as a Canadian citizen, can I only apply to the Canadian one? Both? I would prefer to work in the US but not if it comes at the cost of not being considered

[severe ocean]

I believe amazon US new grad auto rejects canadians, but industry posting does not

[cold sandal]

industry posting?

[vivid fiber]

Full time postings not for new grads,

[cold sandal]

[vivid fiber]

u prob get free bk and tims

[dark portal]

Yeah

And Popeyes too

So that probably bumps up the actual real tc to 180k in my book

Burger King > Amazon

[steel escarp]

damn rbi pays that gud?

[placid herald]

Ericsson 48k , what am I seeing bro. Even neo pays more than that

[steel escarp]

then i gotta ace the phone on monday

[spring wren]

ohh i see it

damn wtf they pay that much??

ubisoft 52k 💀

[steel escarp]

[spring wren]

does any1 know if amazon toronto or vancouver office is better and which have better teams

[brave fable]

WealthSimple did until they went bankrupt

[fickle juniper]

Or not be hiring aka hiring freeze 💀

[steel escarp]

@ruby fossil is in toronto and he absolutely love the working hours 🤣

[dark portal]

Soo.. shopify and wealthsimple lmao

[steel escarp]

those mfk amazon

a recruiter reached out

but they dont send me the oa

😭

[vivid fiber]

I think they meant most recognizable companies in Canada, not necessarily Canadian companies

[worldly ridge]

some non faang pays 6 figs

but on average for companies ur getting < 6 figs

[upbeat cairn]

https://www.levels.fyi/leaderboard/Software-Engineer/Entry-Level-Engineer/country/Canada/

[cursive blaze]

Maybe not right outta school? But you can get fairly close and the second you hit Dev 2 you should be able to get 6 figs at quite a lot of companies

Dev 2 doesn’t take that long to get either most people I know got that a year or so after school

[steel escarp]

i thought 1 year is still se1 ? se2 start at 2 years exp. I saw a lot of places hire "junior" se with min 2 years of exp which is ridiculous

[cursive blaze]

Uhh, maybe depends on the company? Idk haha. I know myself and a bunch of my friends got promo’d to a SE2 in a year or so

[tight gale]

MS Amazon stripe wish a thinking ape SAP

I assume theres a few more

[steel escarp]

by salary u mean base salary or tc?

cuz idt SAP pays 100k base salary

their tc added up more than 100k tho

[vivid fiber]

Snap, Instacart, Uber, Doordash, Rippling, Sentry, Mozilla, Okta, Coinbase, Google, Meta, RBI?, Ripple, Klarna?, Wealthsimple, Shopify, Faire?, Salesforce

[steel escarp]

wat?

RBI > 100k?

how?

[vivid fiber]

There was a posting on levels

No clu if it's legit tho

Hence the ?

[steel escarp]

i looked up RBI on glassdoor

Do companies often check if you actually went to a given university? I wonder how many self-taught people just say they went to Waterloo on their resumes and then get a job.

[fickle juniper]

They always check haha

[vapid oracle]

Good. Screen out those who didn’t suffer

[fickle juniper]

There's no way to check expected grad date, so no

[analog current]

what’s the approximate new grad salary at amazon?

for non return offers

i check levels but ppl there forget to convert usd to cad and that skews the results

[vapid oracle]

I think it’s around 160k but varies

[analog current]

thats pretty good

[ruby fossil]

But if you factor in the wlb, on call, culture, stress, etc...

[vivid fiber]

Ya it rlly is

[vivid fiber]

• wlb at Amazon varies gr8ly
• most big tech has on-call
• agail culture varies

Ppl h8 on amzn 2 much

[analog current]

ya wlb is team dependent

[steel escarp]

Amazon has always been my dream company 🤣

[ruby fossil]

Theres always amazon warehouse or delivery

[steel escarp]

Go rejected

Cuz no driving license

[ruby fossil]

Ah rip

[fickle juniper]

I might be biased but everyone ik that have worked for Amazon did not enjoy their time

Altho all of them were AWS

[analog current]

cloud orgs have worse wlb generally speaking

its like that at google and msft too

[mental monolith]

Has msoft started inviting people for OA/interviews?

(FT 2023)

[azure vortex]

nobody is going to rescind/reject based on a guess

they might ask you about it

yo

[vivid fiber]

I have friends who had a gr8 time, and sone who had a shit time

It's team dependent

[vivid fiber]

Yes

Allegedly

[vivid fiber]

AWS (and cloud in general) had bad wlb

[analog current]

how do i prepare for my final round tmr

i dont feel ready

like AT ALL

[vivid fiber]

For Amazon?

[analog current]

ya

[vivid fiber]

Know your lps

[analog current]

ya i obv know that

im talkin about the coding portion

[mental monolith]

Huh, ok

Maybe i just didnt get invited then

Tyty

[vivid fiber]

Hav u practiced amazon tagged qs

[analog current]

not most

some of em are really hard

[vivid fiber]

It's really early so it's not a big deal

[analog current]

ive solved about 100 lc qs

[vivid fiber]

Lowkey what I do

[vivid fiber]

Is I just look at the solutions

And then try and understand those

[tight gale]

the good thing about amazon is its super ez to switch teams

[analog current]

aight

[tight gale]

im currently in the process and you just gotta talk with the hiring manager of the other team, no technical interview required

[vivid fiber]

You don't gotta go through all tagged tho, I'd just suggest reviewing a few of the most frequent ones

Or ones you find difficult

Also remember to focus on solving first

You don't need to start off with an optimal solution

You can work your way to one

It's lowkey better to start off with a shit solution (ex. O(n^3))

And improve it

[analog current]

ya ive done all that for about 100 qs

but i still feel like

idk anything

like i legit dont know shit

[vivid fiber]

I'm sure you know something

Prob just the jitters

[analog current]

i just dont wanna fumble the amazon bag

that would be a big L

[vivid fiber]

I wish you luck

Also regardless of what any1 says

Amazon interviews aren't easy

They're just easier than other FAANG

[analog current]

that means its still pre damn hard

[vivid fiber]

Ya dats wat I'm tryna say

[analog current]

do u think theyll ask hard qs

[vivid fiber]

It's rare, but possibe

[analog current]

like asking a hard q for an intern role is so unfair

[vivid fiber]

My friend got a hard graph q

[vivid fiber]

I pray dat u get 2sum 🙏

[azure vortex]

i feel like non dp is doable

[placid dawn]

its not unfair when they paying $60 hr

[vivid fiber]

No afaik they don't

But I interviewed there last yr so they may have changed

[analog current]

top g spitting facts like usual

[tight gale]

DP is possible imo

[analog current]

john are u my interviewer?

[tight gale]

I asked and basically interviewers have alot of free reign on questions

So it can be anything

[tight gale]

[azure vortex]

its like 45 cad no?

which is like

30 usd

[analog current]

OH UH

[azure vortex]

lol

[analog current]

are u making fun of our monopoly money?

[azure vortex]

i am a monopoly citizen too man

[analog current]

mannnnnnnnnn

i dont give a FUCK ABOUT THE PAY

I WANT THE NAME

SAP + AMAZON

is like peak performance

i swear

[azure vortex]

you're lying

you want the bag

[analog current]

id be happy if they payed me my sap rate

no I CARE ABOUT THE NAME

[azure vortex]

canadian wants to be paid in maple sap

typical

[analog current]

sap -> amazon intern -> convert to full-time -> never have to interview again

this is my plan

[tawdry moat]

Which sap location did u intern at?

[azure vortex]

until you get pip'd

[analog current]

vancouver

im still interning there

this is my last month

[tawdry moat]

Ah I interned in NSQ

[analog current]

victora?

noice to see another fellow sapper

[azure vortex]

i also interned for sap

[analog current]

not u

u dont count

[analog current]

which team where u on

[azure vortex]

he's literally the guy in the photo

[tawdry moat]

Procurement

[azure vortex]

like sovereign prime

which some might say is the coinbase of canada

[dark portal]

This is probably the 100th that I'm gonna ask this but are there any ex Cisco interns in here?

[tight gale]

No

[eager trout]

I’ve never actually applied to sap

Or know anyone that wants to

What’s the perception

Is it a rest and vest type place

[dark portal]

pretty much

it's also the place where you go if you really value wlb over out-of-this-world pay

sap still pays good, i think 100k for new grads, but it's not like you're gonna be busting these insane 500k salaries after 7 years of exp or smthng

[mental monolith]

do we have a list of canadian companies hiring for 2023 FTs like we do for US/intl stuff?

i havent seen many positions opening up atm from casual browsing, probably too early huh

[vivid fiber]

Ya all i kno of is Amzn, MSFT, IXL

[mental monolith]

what's IXL? sorry if dumb question lol

never heard of it

[vivid fiber]

some edtech site

[mental monolith]

this?

ah

[dark portal]

bro amazon literally asks the most useless questions on their job apps

okay finally finished the amazon job app

for some reason, they already had my resume (i don't remember uploading one)

but, i did fill out my most recent employment history

How do i upload a newer version of my resume to amazon.jobs?

[fervent junco]

microsoft has office in toronto right

would there be separate application for that or just one application for canada

[analog current]

they do but im not sure if its an engineering office

and its one application for all of canada i believe

[dark portal]

I got databricks oa

Any idea on what's score is needed?

[vivid fiber]

I'd say 770+

is safe

bt rmbr they resume screen after as well

[dark portal]

For sure

Q1 and q2 should put me at 700, right?

[vivid fiber]

ye

[steel escarp]

anyone got RBI new grad interview?

why tf they give a developer a business case type of interview 🤡

[dark portal]

Are capital one internships for summer 23 out?

[noble cypress]

@analog current

[granite zealot]

Hey everyone, ror people looking for Summer 2023 internships based in Canada, how many have you guys applied to? I feel like im falling behind

[vivid fiber]

You're not there's barely anything open

Off the top of my head I know Amazon, Microsoft, and Broadway are

[granite zealot]

I have applied to Amazon and Microsoft (Still waiting for a reply)

Havent heard of Broadway before, do you have the job posting link by any chance?

[vivid fiber]

one sec

[vivid fiber]

oh wait mb they're only doing new grad rn

[granite zealot]

ahh ok, nw, ig ill just keep waiting then

Just hoping to get Amazon OA soon, as I have heard many others have gotten it too

[vivid fiber]

I wouldn't say many

Amazon hires a lot of people

And they hire throughout the year

Plus its super early

So don't be too worried

[granite zealot]

Fair enough

[gloomy nymph]

@analog current

[placid dawn]

600 to land one

[pseudo notch]

for my fellow canadians coming to US, here's a referral to open your chase bank checking account.
https://accounts.chase.com/raf/share/3036565206

[plain plover]

Apply as much as you can you got nothing to loose. Its really not a question of numbers but of consistency and dont be scared by the numbers ppl are saying its an exaggeration

[steel escarp]

🤣

what did u get on their gca?

[vivid fiber]

i got rjected 2

didnt even get gca

[steel escarp]

ikr

me too

[granite zealot]

I get that, and im constantly applying, the reason I was asking for numbers was because, if it was like 20 or 25, I was then gonna ask which ones. Because I can't find many for Canadians. But fair point

[steel escarp]

im thinking db doesn't sponsor and auto reject ppl who needs sponsorship 👀

[boreal sentinel]

i got oa and submitted my 847 and got resume rejected

[steel escarp]

did u apply for intern?

[boreal sentinel]

yup

[steel escarp]

👀

[steel escarp]

Anyone knows when companies like sap or cisco open new grad?

[azure vortex]

[dark portal]

Yo anyone know any company here hiring part time for literally any role at all? I might get my part time position from IBM rescinded

[azure vortex]

[ember spire]

Anyone applied to circle new grad us posting and got instant reject? 🥲 Do they automatically reject if you’re not in the US?

[steel escarp]

ft or internship?

[ember spire]

For ft. I have a friend working there rn and told me they are on a hiring freeze. And I only see their new grad postings for US only

[steel escarp]

I will have phone with them

[ember spire]

Oh when did you apply? And good luck!

[steel escarp]

end of july

i applied for industry hire

[ember spire]

Oh ok makes sense then

[steel escarp]

did u get gca?

or just rejection?

[ember spire]

Rejection email. I applied yesterday

[steel escarp]

ahhh kk

did u choose that u need sponsor?

we dont need sponsor in canada tho 👀

so for some companies if u choose that u need sponsor = auto reject

[ember spire]

Im on open work permit for Canada…

It’s gg then lol

[steel escarp]

nono

u dont need sponsor

by open u mean pgwp?

since circle has canada entity and u have pgwp then u prob dont need sponsor

[ember spire]

Hmm I guess I didn’t make the cut then 🥲

[dark portal]

circle summer '23 internships are out?

[azure vortex]

wtf is circle

[vivid fiber]

Crypto company doin stabl coins

[errant field]

guys, i got a referral for amazon summer 2023 swe internship. The referral link directed me to apply for the role at amazon.jobs (which i did), but just before I submitted my application, I saw that my application showed submitted in amazonuniversity.jobs with all my previous year's information?? I am worried something is wrong 😦

[tight gale]

Yea

All student program stuff is in amazonunivercity

[errant field]

wait, so there is no reason to worry about anything?

[placid dawn]

pp

[nimble jasper]

Anyone has a list of companies paying US salaries in Canada? I know some start up does this - say they pay $45/hr in USD, and if you are in Canada, either remote or coming to their Canadian office, they will still pay you almost $60/hr in CAD.

[dark portal]

Lol the senior engineer is talking about deadlines, and here I am on discord. Imagine paying attention during daily stand-up

[steel escarp]

U already have stand up?

I havent got out of my bed yet

[tender wing]

Looking for unicorn, FAANG and other good companies to trade for Google referral

[supple coral]

as a Canadian citizen applying to US companies, do we answer "No" to the 'are you legally authorized to work in the United States' question?

and then "Yes" to the 'will you require sponsorship' q?

[tight gale]

👍

[supple coral]

ive been saying Yes and Yes oops

[tight gale]

Tbh not sure if it matters much

It's either they sponsor or they dont

[frail ivy]

I've always had a question about Canada
Do internships there work the same way they do in the US? Would it be more likely to be noticed there as a foreign student applying? Or at least more likely than it is in the US?

[placid dawn]

kanada

[oblique crater]

wdym foreign students?

you don’t need to sponsor international students in canada for an internship it works just like hiring a local

unless you’re taking advantage of a government wage subsidy then the employee has to have pr or citizenship

ohhh i see, yeah idk if canada has an internship visa for complete foreigners outside of US/Mexico

i mean you can't really come here easily without a bachelor's degree and a bunch of other qualifiers so i'd say it's pretty hard

[drowsy sierra]

Anyone got new grad offer from amazon?

I have my 30 minutes interview this Monday

[dark portal]

Yo are most of the good companies internship apps out yet?

[misty inlet]

Has anyone interviewed with perpetua recently ?

[steel escarp]

Have phone tomorrow 👀

Have u taken phone screen yet?

[misty inlet]

Phone screen ?
The initial call 30 Min call?

[steel escarp]

Ye

Heard they have a technical part at the end

[steel escarp]

Ur late bro. Recession will kill us all

[misty inlet]

Yeah I did that, basically it's just q about your background and a db design question

[steel escarp]

Dang i never had a db design b4

[misty inlet]

Is it the backend role ?

[steel escarp]

Yere

Actually idk

I dont remember

I just spammed applying

[misty inlet]

Haha.
I think the questions depends on the role

[steel escarp]

Oh well we will see

[vivid fiber]

https://boards.greenhouse.io/earlycareerprograms/jobs/4413867

[steel escarp]

ahhh asana 👀

wonder if they open ng any time soon

[vivid fiber]

Idk wen

[fervent junco]

are they remote 🥺

[plush rune]

asana wants ppl to be in the office 5 days a week starting september. so no, not remote. not even hybrid too

[plush rune]

they apparently have plans for a hiring freeze. so either their entire NG pipeline comes from return interns, or they hire very small amount of ngs

[steel escarp]

nooooo but asana sounds really cool tho

I'll be down stay in vancouver for a year or 2

[plush rune]

ye cool company

[dark portal]

@steel escarp bro i hope you actually end up getting IBM

I've heard they bumped up ng pay to 95kish (not sure if it's completely true though)

[steel escarp]

I think i will get consulting teams

but meh

its consulting

i can't do client facing jobs

[dark portal]

You can always jump ship

[steel escarp]

my manager told he he will try to get me hire ticket next year

[dark portal]

Ahhh I see

Yo, my manager hasn't given me any of the bad news regarding SOC cancelation

So, I might just be safe

[steel escarp]

i think so

[orchid robin]

it's over for canadians

[vivid fiber]

I got Circle in my inbox

Dats it...

Yeah

[dark portal]

any idea on how much nokia pays interns? levels.fyi says 25/hr usd, which clocks in at roughly 31/hr cad, but that seems a bit sus

[frail ivy]

how about a working holiday visa?

would that be enough?

[steel escarp]

My friend got 27

[frail ivy]

its a 2 year open work permit, in theory it lets you work for almost any employer but I don't know if companies would be willing to take that visa as a downside for an internship

[steel escarp]

Anyone knows if adobe hire ng in canada? Iirc they have an office in ottawa

[frail ivy]

because I have to get back to finish my degree en Chile lol

you mean it would be better to just wait?

[feral egret]

Are you serious? Did they really ask alien dictionary?

[tight gale]

Yes I got it on the OA alien dictionary is possible

[feral egret]

For l4?

L4

[tight gale]

Yes

Everyone here is L4

[barren sinew]

Yea for a new grad role.

Dont mind though. I failed that interview and found a better opportunity imo

Sometimes it works out

[vapid oracle]

Any bcit cst peeps here btw?
