Bro, and here I am with my fucking hands empty rn for internships lol

[steel escarp]

[vivid fiber]

Many mor apps to come

Your harvest will b bountiful

[placid dawn]

[dark portal]

Thank you sir

[dark portal]

I'll actually try that

Yoooooo today's a fridayyyy

Time to get hammered while making some pasta

[placid dawn]

[dark portal]

I'll fed ex you the pasta

[placid dawn]

[tranquil goblet]

anyone here ever did a internship for RBC in-person?

im wondering whats the dress code

[placid dawn]

naked

[dark portal]

Same

The pay doesn't justify having to live in downtown toronto

If they offered me 35 - 40 / hr + relocation bonus, then maybe

[fickle juniper]

I think it would depend on where you’ll be in the office, i.e. if u might be seen by clients it might be more formal. But honestly I doubt it’s not casual. Good q for recruiter probably

[steel escarp]

i think rbc has a tech hub in calgary

and 27-28 for an internship in calgary is very decent tbh

[orchid robin]

Is it?

Equivalent of 21 USD

internships should pay more imo

Mine was 25/hr

[orchid robin]

Downtown Toronto you wanna be making minimum 80k

So, I work in Canada, but likely want to work in USA. I think it's making me go below everyone else that's living in the states

Is it worthwhile to ask my employer if I can relocate to US? Work in US for like 4 months then find another company?

Only thing I don't like about that is possibly relocating twice

Wondering how much that will improve my chances

(Through a TN visa)

[steel escarp]

you can but why do employers have to do extra paperwork just to reallocate you to US? It will cost them more

unless u got us based team then thats a different story

[orchid robin]

TN visa, taxes

[gloomy nymph]

Getting a TN visa as a Canadian national is easy af

[orchid robin]

I know

But a lot of employers don't see that imo

[gloomy nymph]

Shouldn’t be even a factor to consider

I mean I’m Mexican and the process to obtain a TN is x10000 times worse. I still got an offer and multiple interviews

You should be fineeeee

[azure vortex]

OA or phone?

OA is auto i believe

[gloomy nymph]

Huh?

It’s not that I’m a hater. It’s just I can’t live in a place where I’m being lowballed hard af

If you say so

[tight gale]

What phone plan is everyone using

[placid dawn]

Rogers

[tender wing]

15$/mo koodo

[steel escarp]

using prepaid 7eleven speakout 🤡

[tight gale]

Are you watching Netflix or something

40 is alot for mobile data lol

I might try this

[steel escarp]

👀

right virgin

[placid dawn]

are u homeless lol

or u watch 8k videos

[tight gale]

Oo lossless can you hear the difference with a mobile setup

Then

I see

I kinda want to experiment with higher tier audio gear like an audeze lcd2 + amps but it's a very frivolous way to spend $$ lol

What is even rich

I'm just less poor

Still cant a afford to buy a house

[hot rapids]

I got a deal with Fido, paying $35 for 15 gb rn

[eternal fossil]

Bro Cisco already rejected me for a new grad role how’s that even possible

They got man’s working on Saturday

I hate when they ask for transcripts and like bro I did ALL THAT for a swift rejection like we need a better hiring platform/system

[dark portal]

This is for internships

[oblique crater]

is it remote? if so then just go find a cafe to work in during the day and enjoy the vacay after work, you could also argue the 1st week is the one with the least expectation and responsibility from you so this is the best time to go

[placid dawn]

hmm its a 3 person dev team

theyre going to calgary so its not like disney or bora bora

yeah

[oblique crater]

make a good impression from a cafe or the hotel room no big deal

[untold nebula]

Isn't the first week just onboarding

I don't think you'd need to work that much

[orchid robin]

whats going on in Calgary?

[eternal fossil]

you right

but like only ask for transcript if youre serious about me

[placid dawn]

startup lmao they gave me 2 days to learn 2 codebases and now we're building some shit from ground up

im liking it a lot tho no complains

[steel escarp]

u will learn a lot from start up

[analog current]

[oblique crater]

[placid dawn]

[analog current]

hello there

since u are manifesting final im assuming u got OA

can u pls share timeline and past experiences

even though i alr have OA (manifesting)

[boreal sentinel]

many good places to eat

there are also great obstacle courses + escape rooms if ur into that

[gloomy nymph]

Visit sauga

[oblique crater]

shut up prairie boy

[placid dawn]

[analog current]

yo

1 week

got

[analog current]

when did u apply

[analog current]

Early aug

[azure vortex]

its rng

mine took 1 month

[analog current]

i applied on the 15th

ik its rng but i kinda wanna have the process done early

cuz last year i interviewed for google in the middle of the semester and had to sacrifice like 20% from each course

i might decide to do grad school so that kinda fucked me lol

[dark portal]

i swear, i'm gonna tell andrew tate to buy amazon if i dont get the oa from them this year

[vivid fiber]

thos stats dont mean anything

[dark portal]

brutal

time for me to apply to msft

[azure vortex]

yeah the linkedin stats are made up

theyre just there so u refresh ur premium

[vivid fiber]

i dont think its made up

it just compares you to the rest of the people who clicked apply

which doesnt mean much cause its just comparing you based off skills on your resume

[sleek echo]

lol tf

[dark portal]

whatchu mean?

lol i got a 706 in the one i just did

[prisma garnet]

What 706?

Code signal?

[dark portal]

ye

shit score ik

but i'm workin on it

[prisma garnet]

Lol

Nah I think you chilling

I don't even have a score lmao

Very busy recently

[dark portal]

bro, honestly... fuck having to come in-person

i would if bitch-ass companies like rbc would give me a bit more than poverty wage for toronto

how tf these mf'ers expect us to live on 25/hr in to?

[vivid fiber]

RBC pays pretty decent afaik

Like 80k+

[tight gale]

Do they offer accommodation

[dark portal]

not from what i know

[dark portal]

yeah but interns literally get paid 27/hr

[tight gale]

Ok then yea that would be rough

[dark portal]

and tbh, even geotab offers like 85k lol

[vivid fiber]

27 is still far from poverty wages tho

[dark portal]

not in downtown toronto

where rent is like... 1.5k minimum

[vivid fiber]

I disagree 😃👍

[dark portal]

i mean... i'm in north york rn, just below markham

and i'm dropping about 1.3k for my place

[vivid fiber]

Ya so half your monthly salary

Obv not ideal

But not poverty

[dark portal]

there's a saying that you shouldn't spend more than a third of your salary on rent

[dark portal]

okay yeah, i was exaggerating lol

but still, definitely not ideal

[tight gale]

Poverty level is like figure of speech like peanuts iirc

[dark portal]

exactly

[vivid fiber]

I just think it's kinda whack to call 27/hr poverty level

[tight gale]

We on dat der poverty time

[vivid fiber]

I don't unerstand 😔

[tight gale]

Can you hire me

[vivid fiber]

Dm me ur resume

[tight gale]

You are at snap or a unicorn right iirc

[dark portal]

dawg

live alone in downtown to with 27/hr

i exaggerated when i said 27/hr

but it's pretty hard for a 4 - 12 month internship

[vivid fiber]

I never said it was ideal

[placid dawn]

join optiver $90 hr ez

[dark portal]

fair enough

okay, the middle ground is that it isn't the best, but it's far from the worst

[dark portal]

bro, i'm out here scoring 706 on codesignal practice tests. I really doubt i'll be making it to optiver any time soon

let's fucking go boys, finally starting to solve lc mediums

[vivid fiber]

The first of many 🙌

[dark portal]

thank you sir

i hope to reach your level one day, too

[placid dawn]

[azure vortex]

[errant field]

Does optiver take in Canadian university students?

[orchid robin]

No they don't

[north remnant]

just got the email for scheduling the final round for amazon sde 2023 new grad (canada), I think its the 2x60. Anyone know whats gonna be asked in these interviews?

[wintry linden]

Expect 1-2 LPs per interview + 1 LC in one interview + 1 OOD-ish q in the other

[vivid fiber]

They mentioned Amazon tho?

[eternal fossil]

what was the earlier date you could schedule your interview

[dark portal]

Just got a fucking rejection from autodesk, even with IBM on my resume

It's over for IBM'ers

[vivid fiber]

i got rejected from autodesk wit my current company

recruitin do b rng lol

[dark portal]

Lol

Autodesk or bust from now on

[vivid fiber]

autodesk is pretty good no lie

[dark portal]

Seriously?

Don't they only pay interns 27/hr?

[vivid fiber]

i rmbr readin up abt them migratin their legacy codebases to wasm

[dark portal]

Oh damn

[vivid fiber]

it was a pretty cool read

[dark portal]

I see

[vivid fiber]

i meant mor in terms of eng work

[dark portal]

Ahh fair enough

But I'm not too stressed out either

Cuz that auto desk posting was probably for the Winter, if anything

[vivid fiber]

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BfkL3WgOPdI

this is the vid

its super good

high reccommend

they ported a 30yr old c/c++ codebase to the web

https://www.figma.com/blog/webassembly-cut-figmas-load-time-by-3x/

^ from figma

[dark portal]

jeeez

yeah i'll check it out

wasm seems pretty promising, however I haven't looked into it much

also any idea on how much Bell Canada pays interns? levels say 26usd/hr, but that seems very sus

i think it's probably 26cad/hr if anything, lol

[vivid fiber]

26cad pretty sure

[dark portal]

brutal

trynna see if i can land 30 somehow

[dark portal]

salesforce out here destroying me

[steel escarp]

[boreal sentinel]

same

[dark portal]

That's alright ig

"If most interns are financially struggling, why can't you do the same?"

In Montreal... probably not

In Toronto, 27/hour and having to live there alone is a meme

I'm talking downtown btw

Even in the surrounding areas

Bro, because companies are gonna start requiring it

Is anyone here hungry?

I'm gonna go order myself some pizza

[steel escarp]

[dark portal]

Bro, please stop

Yo, it takes me 45 minutes to get through a medium lmfao

[steel escarp]

Idk

I could answer the first 2 in like 10 mins

Last one i just suck

2nd interview is a balanced binary tree with a follow up if its not binary tree

A.k.a the tree has x children instead of 2

And instead of balanced they want k level

[dark portal]

lmao

[fervent junco]

how do u do three lc in 20 mins

[steel escarp]

First 2 are like ez med

3rd one can be implemented based on 2

But idk

[dark portal]

Lol yeah

[fervent junco]

if its a new medium lc i havent seen it probably takes me 30 min 😭

[dark portal]

I'm trynna reduce that time to 30 mins

Then, I'm pretty much set

[fervent junco]

😦

[tawny zephyr]

20+ interns who would normally get a return ended up not

That's in addition to the standard rejections

[steel escarp]

did u get the return? 👀

sounds like u did

[fickle juniper]

I'm pretty sure

[steel escarp]

[dark portal]

I'm hoping this venture for Canada thing helps me get a part time job for the Winter

[steel escarp]

ye very close to neo

[vivid fiber]

My guess of 80k wasn't too far off

70~80k is pretty good tbh

[steel escarp]

idk why consultant get paid more than swe in non-tech company

[boreal sentinel]

70-80k is pretty good for barrie

[dark portal]

70 - 80k is pretty good for windsor too

[brave fable]

draftkings didn't have waterloo in their school list for new grad swe 💀

only canadian school was uoft

for some reason

[tawny zephyr]

bruh wasnt like 6 figures ng standard

[tight gale]

No

No

[fluid surge]

wtfff

i just got my ng and it's

170k ng is nuts

[oblique crater]

haven’t even gotten the ng OA yet

[dark portal]

Bro, I want Amazon to just give me my oa for 2023 internships already

[tight gale]

Canada ?

Amazon USA got a slight TC bump

[dark portal]

Yo 170k tc is fucking nuts for a new grad

In 5 years, if you keep performing and switching around, you can get to around 300k

Imagine making like... 170k as a 22 yo and 300k as a 27 yo

[fluid surge]

My TC for canada is like 145

and no RSU on the offer letter

its not in the letter

[tight gale]

Interesting so it doesnt mention any stocks at all?

My TC calculation they gave had stocks

But first year it's like 5% so

[fluid surge]

yeah no mention at all

maybe its the recession

xD

[sacred tulip]

[tight gale]

Nah theres no way

Email your recruiter or something to clarify

[fluid surge]

Hey folks

Not sure how common this is, but for international students about to graduate;

I'm done with credits this Dec 2022, but officially earliest grad date is next May

You think I should put Jan grad or May when they ask for expected grad date in job apps?

[worldly ridge]

ash this is not the usa channel

ash which did u end up going to?

[worn moss]

Yo I got a return offer for next summer but I want to negotiate/ discuss the salary, my last day is tomorrow how do I go about doing that

[worldly ridge]

dotn give out a number

ask what theier budget is

say ull think abit it once they spill it

if u have other offers leverage it

[worn moss]

I know their budget im close to the cto he tells me the funding rounds new hires etc

[worldly ridge]

oh ok then you dont realy have room to negoitate if u dont have any other leverage

u can probs get signing bonus or more rsus or something

but dont expect a lot

[analog current]

any canadians hear from cisco after applying

[fluid surge]

except replace your OOD with determine winner of tic tac toe game and check for validity

not too bad. just need to know sliding window

interviewers are really nice too. they want to help point you in the right direction

i'm praying that cisco moves me on

[dark portal]

It's brutal out there buddy boyos

See, this is the reason why I made 2 codesignals

Just scored 813 on a practice codesignal test

But, it's only practice, so it doesn't count

[dark portal]

[rotund meteor]

Anyone here apply for Amazon summer 2023 internship, pass the OA but not hear back for a while after giving their available interview timeslots?

[boreal sentinel]

yes

for me i think it has to do with filling out my survey a week after i got it

for some reason it was in junk

[azure vortex]

i filled out the survey immediately but i still havent heard back

[analog current]

How selective is Microsoft? Can I get an OA with 1 internship?

Vancouver

I have a referral from a non-tech higher up

[vivid fiber]

Microsoft is kinda rng

I kno a dude who got oa with nothing

And shit proiects

[tight gale]

MS is kinda bs

You can get google and somehow get ghosted by MS

[analog current]

happened to me last year lol

got STEP final but got shitted on fot Explore

[fickle juniper]

Imagine putting all the names of ppl who applied to MS into a hat

Take out X names to interview from the hat randomly

That is MS's process

[analog current]

i see

i have used 0 luck throughout my degree

i wouldnt mind using it all up on amazon or msft

[steel escarp]

👀

[grave bough]

Is there a list of 2023 open Canadian internship postings rn?

[analog current]

[steel escarp]

they will open a toronto office

[mental monolith]

i checked the ronto one and theres no opening yet

yeah

[steel escarp]

not sure when

[mental monolith]

okok i'll send this in kek

[steel escarp]

gl

us or bust

[mental monolith]

still not leaving the country tho so if it does go somewhere im gonna sike them at the end

"hey actually"

[steel escarp]

👀

thats actually good for them

if u stay in canada

then they pay u less

[mental monolith]

and i get to be employed (for less)

[storm stream]

Netflix is US only? No?

[fickle juniper]

Do u guys think

[tight gale]

no

[storm stream]

I don't think

Frugality

[fickle juniper]

Just taking HS return without applying for new grad is settling?

[storm stream]

What's HS

[tight gale]

whats HS

[fickle juniper]

HubSpot

[tight gale]

why not apply and see if you get something better

[storm stream]

I would say ya... But I don't blame you

You should accept and keep looking

But economy is fucked so that safety net is nice

[tight gale]

yea accept and reneg if you citadel or something

[steel escarp]

why not try

if u get something better then i get another chance to get HS 👀

[fickle juniper]

I’ve got a good thing going at HS is the thing

And I wouldn’t have to LC or interview

[tight gale]

yea but you can apply and YOLO to other companies too

what if you luck out and get google

[fickle juniper]

True true

If I’m being honest I’d rather take my HS offer than some random GCP team

[steel escarp]

I mean you should consider giveme a slot at HS 👀

[storm stream]

Yeah go for it

A nice team is underrated af

[fickle juniper]

Idek if they’re hiring new grad for 2023 at this point 💀

They cut like 20+ interns that would normally get an offer

[steel escarp]

I'm not new grad

I haven't graduated yet

so they should hire me

😛

[fickle juniper]

They’re not even letting me extend my internship

Even though beginning of the term they said I could

[steel escarp]

@tight gale make a start up and giveus some pt jobs next sem please 👀

[tight gale]

[steel escarp]

you have 5 days to get your start up into YC and hire us

[tight gale]

im pip and homeless speedrun

[steel escarp]

didn't you say ur in the process of getting promoted to sde2 😵‍💫

[tight gale]

[fickle juniper]

I wonder if the job market will truly be bad

[steel escarp]

idk 👀 but it seems to be bad now

[fickle juniper]

Even for 23 new grad?

Feels like there are a lot of great postings

[tight gale]

yea idk

i think top % wont suffer that much

[dark portal]

It's pretty good in the states rn

[tight gale]

like people who can ace interviews will still get into top companies

[steel escarp]

nah lots of companies cut hc already

its not as good as it was like last year

[placid dawn]

still 20x better than here

[steel escarp]

well its always 20x better than here

[fickle juniper]

Yeah idk

I’m tempted to just do HS and skip recruiting this cycle

[steel escarp]

HS is not bad

like u can just start HS

the passively apply

[fickle juniper]

The offer was really good

[steel escarp]

160 range?

[fickle juniper]

And work from anywhere

Including 90days in any country such as Canada

[steel escarp]

👀

[fickle juniper]

Yeah about that

[steel escarp]

u plan to go to seattle?

or somewhere near van

[fickle juniper]

I might not even go that far

Like Blaine or Kirkland or something

[steel escarp]

Kirkland montreal? 🤣

[fickle juniper]

The fact that I can spend 3months a year working from Van while still getting USD pay is really appealing to me

[fickle juniper]

Kirkland WA

[tight gale]

go to japan

[steel escarp]

ye that sounds really good

[steel escarp]

i got an offer from japan but i can't take a gap sem

[fickle juniper]

I thought about this but it’s like 11hr difference from EST lawl

[steel escarp]

fck canadian government

[fickle juniper]

Also I would need some kind of visa or something probably

[steel escarp]

i could hav been a real weeb

[fickle juniper]

I could probably work from Dublin or something cuz they have an office there

[steel escarp]

can't u just do a visitor visa?

and stay in japan/korea for a month

[fickle juniper]

Yeah idk how it works

I’ll still be on TN so

[tight gale]

you can go hubspot -> airbnb in 2-3 years

[fickle juniper]

Airbnb would be cool, they have a similar wfh policy I think

[tight gale]

yea they do so it would be perfect

[steel escarp]

damn so next year u 2 will be in HS and google US

me stuck in canada

sadge

[tight gale]

i think quora is good too but they seem harder to join

[tight gale]

you never know

[fickle juniper]

Is quora also wfh?

[dark portal]

What's HS? Lol

[fickle juniper]

Hubspot

[tight gale]

yes they are remote first

[fickle juniper]

Ohh interesting

Brex is also wfh

[dark portal]

Ohhh lol @fickle juniper congratulations man!!

[steel escarp]

I know cuz i need to stay in canada 3 years for pr and 5 years for citizenship

[fickle juniper]

Thanks my guy 🙏

[steel escarp]

🤣

[dark portal]

FS

My manager at IBM let me know that if I need an internship for next summer, then I should just message him, because they'll most likely (knock on wood) be hiring for another student

So yeah... I can easily get 2 years of experience at ibm before graduation (internship + student on call positions), and graduate with just under 4 years of experience

[fickle juniper]

Holy crap

Why so much?

Depends on the company I think

But usually only good if u return to the same team for the same company

Yeah this for sure

[steel escarp]

FYI i got SE2 interview at BoA with 16 months internship exp

👀

[mental monolith]

uh what do i expect here kek

[plush rune]

nah

[mental monolith]

is this an automated interview everyone gets or something

i applied last night at like 11pm

[plush rune]

just anomalies of companies like BofA like the dude above said

BofA deez nuts lmaoi

[steel escarp]

you never know 🤷‍♂️

then when will i get my amazon oa? 👀

[fickle juniper]

Did u apply to HS?

[steel escarp]

ye the general posting one

a month ago

🤣

they said it might take up to 10 business days

is it safe if i assume a rejection?

[tight gale]

HS just rejected me after the OA after telling me i did great lmao

[steel escarp]

🤣

no we're talking about ng/ft

[fickle juniper]

Things are tight here

I honestly am not sure they’ll hire that many new grads

[steel escarp]

👀

[fickle juniper]

Probably only if interns don’t accept their offers

[steel escarp]

u can tell them to chillout and take me

[fickle juniper]

I’ll just tell them to hire a guy that looks like ur pfp

[steel escarp]

isn't its like they will rank interns?

so if intern doesn't take return offer then they will take the next guy in the list?

[fickle juniper]

Pretty sure I passed it

But they cancelled

[steel escarp]

bro no this guy got amazon google uber sentry

[fickle juniper]

The internship program

[fickle juniper]

???

[steel escarp]

yeeee ikr

[fickle juniper]

Why would I want those L companies

[steel escarp]

cuz he said there's H in the FAANG

big L

[fickle juniper]

Well they cancelled my position at least, and ik some ppl got their offers rescinded

Stuff like that is why I’m scared for 2023 lawl

[steel escarp]

didn't shopify just lay off recently?

i remember one of the uni recruiter i talked to got laid off

[fickle juniper]

And just want to not deal with recruiting until the economy gets better

There were posts on LinkedIn

[steel escarp]

they rescinded intern offers and laid off hr

engineering doesn't get affected to much tbh

[fickle juniper]

Even G laid off hr

Idk if u guys saw

[steel escarp]

i think google laid off the whole department

is that google or msft

idk

[fickle juniper]

In any case am pretty sure I passed

[steel escarp]

[fickle juniper]

Bcuz some ppl got rejected the same time I was told that my position was ni longer hiring

[steel escarp]

[torn roost]

It's nice to stay near family/friends if you are from the area

Man I'm starting to stress over how little job postings are there in Canada for new grads right now

[steel escarp]

did u apply for sde1/sde2?

👀

[torn roost]

I applied to some but also most of the companies don't seem worth it

I already have a return offer from my internship for those kind of positions

[steel escarp]

I mean most of the big companies are not out yet
