canada

[steel escarp]

i also got a "return" offer from my company and i still applied for smaller one to practice

👀

[torn roost]

yea fair

[low hedge]

Moving across the country is so much work + my family and friends are here

[steel escarp]

yeee makes sense

don't quote me on this but i thought some amazon teams allow remote work?

[torn roost]

Remote work sucks at this stage though

[low hedge]

Yeah it’s team dependent, apparently someone managed to stay in Toronto but work for Vancouver team

[steel escarp]

why?

i personally enjoy remote work

[torn roost]

Hmm like as a new grad I would like to meet people you know

You don't really get that experience working remotely

Seems pretty isolated

[steel escarp]

hmm ye that makes sense

but i also enjoy the flexibility and the feeling of waking up 5 mins before a meeting

👀

but ig its just give and take thing

[torn roost]

how many positions did you all apply to so far btw?

I'm at 6 lol

[dark portal]

Why don't you apply to companies in the states?

[steel escarp]

idk

a lot

i have been spamming app like crazy

even for small/start up

and those require 1 year of exp

[summer matrix]

When did you interview and get a portal update?

[vivid fiber]

Like 60~80

[torn roost]

Just don't want to work in the states I suppose

I like Canada

[vivid fiber]

Which 6?

[steel escarp]

u can apply to the state and ask for remote 👀

worst case they just say no

and you say bye

😵‍💫

[vivid fiber]

I know of Amzn, Msft, kpmg, deloitte, ixl, Broadway, rbi, td

[torn roost]

[torn roost]

Goldman Sachs, Amazon, Ecission, Microsoft, Procom, Ciena

[steel escarp]

[summer matrix]

Hey friends

I had my 30 minute interview on Tuesday

Still "under review"

Should I give up

For amazon

[torn roost]

what was it like

[summer matrix]

It seemed genial

But it could be a camouflage right?

[plush rune]

just oa1 review right?

[summer matrix]

Yep

[plush rune]

cool ty

[analog current]

give up next wednesday

[summer matrix]

When does amazon update on interview

[analog current]

From what I’ve heard they change the portal on Wednesdays but since you did your interview A few days ago I would wait until next Wednesday to lose hope

How did you feel like you did on the interview

[summer matrix]

It was genial

[neon path]

I thought you pretty much just need to be able to say ur name in 30 min n ur in if nothing went wrong

[placid dawn]

na sometimes they ask to explain oa1 and any improvements

[dark portal]

I'm still out here waiting for my mf'ing OA

[summer matrix]

How about monday

[placid dawn]

email jef bezos

ceo entrepreneur

[dark portal]

I did

Mf'er said its all rng

Apparently even if he didn't get to be the ceo of Amazon on the first try. Took him multiple applications

[placid dawn]

ima get in amazon no matter wat

so far 3/3 oas

i got rejected by cisco at 3am whatda fuck

[tight gale]

[dark portal]

Lol fckn loser

[placid dawn]

[analog current]

how much ciena new grad?

[placid dawn]

welcome to kanada

[placid herald]

Levels say mid 70s and also in US$

[dark portal]

Hey whats the cool down period on codesignal for company oa's?

Like... let's just say I score 720 for a winter 2023 oa, but 2 - 3 months down the road (maybe even less) I score like... 813

Would they count my second score for their Summer internships?

[mental monolith]

Lmao outsourced moment

[mental monolith]

Oh that's a lot less funny and more depressing

:c

[tight gale]

Tarjans MST kruskals prims

[clear sun]

They do cut $$ a bit cuz Canada tho

[analog current]

Salesforce and Slack apps have been open for a sec, do I apply or are they super selective?

[tight gale]

always apply

if you have offers: apply

if already working: apply

[azure vortex]

slack is not open

only for past salesforce interns

[dark lintel]

Where is the sales force app link?

I couldn’t find it there website is weird 🥺

Also bruh Canada apps opens so late

It’s almost September, only a few top companies opened

[torn roost]

Does Circle really have Toronto? I couldn't find anything

[steel escarp]

They do just apply for us post

[torn roost]

Ooh okay

Omg I'm dumb lol

I looked at their locations and thought you could only apply if you can go there o_o

Thanks

[neon path]

How long did it take to get oa from circle?

[dark portal]

If at a funeral: apply

If your wife / girlfriend is giving birth: apply

[neon path]

is databricks and cisco ng open?

[summer matrix]

Did anyone else interview for amazon on Tuesday?

August 23

[vivid fiber]

yes

[dark lintel]

Though that databricks app is not for canada

[dark portal]

Y'all think 800 on cap 1 oa and this resume is enough to male it to the interview stage? This is for Canadian interns btw

Their apps aren't out yet, but I thought I'd ask

[oak bone]

How u get OA without app

[dark portal]

I didn't, I'm just asking

[oak bone]

Looks rlly good btw

[dark portal]

I've heard the actual Cap 1 interview isn't too bad and I think they pay 40/hr in TO for interns

[dark portal]

Thank you! I hope I get it with these stats lol

[neon path]

Can u link the databricks pls

[vivid fiber]

Use googl

[neon path]

😭

Is only us

[plush rune]

cap1 realistically needs like 720 codesignal

ur 800 is well above their bar

[dark portal]

Oh shit, no way lol ty

Any idea on if the 40/hr salary for interns is accurate?

If I recall correctly, they're paid faang level salaries in the states (interns)

[plush rune]

yea their intern salary is quite high in the US. something like mid 50s to low 60s per hour

[dark portal]

Any idea on Canada @plush rune?

[plush rune]

0 clue

[steel escarp]

Canadian c1 doesnt use gca

[dark portal]

What do the use?

[steel escarp]

Take home project

[boreal sentinel]

went to cne and saw some guy from neo following this woman around and trying to get her interested in neo

it didnt go well

[dark portal]

Please tell me you're joking

Was the girl a CS student? And what was her reaction?

[oblique crater]

dude i was forced to get a neocard at an event in edmonton

tbf i got swag and free $25 but it was weird

[boreal sentinel]

idk if she was in cs but she looked visibly annoyed as the guy was chasing her down

like man was jogging

[dark portal]

Dude that's so fucking embarrassing

Imagine being THAT unaware

[dark portal]

Lol I have a feeling Neo isn't gonna make it too far. They pay their devs like shit, and their marketing is very aggressive for a lack of better words lol

[analog current]

What questions are Intuit known for? Looking kinda doomed

[dark portal]

Ng?

Sorry keep forgetting lol

[analog current]

Intern

[dark portal]

When tf were Canada apps out?

And why tf can't I find this shit on LinkedIn when I search for it

[oblique crater]

tbf the mobile app experience is solid, I have a feeling they have a selection of very well paid devs from skipthedishes and the code monkeys are getting paid 60k

[potent hornet]

anyone interned with wealthsimple, how did you find it

[steel escarp]

ws hiring intern?

[potent hornet]

I don’t think for summer, I was just wondering what peoples experience was with the company

[steel escarp]

kk

[sullen crater]

Anyone know how much Sage pays for new grad SWE?

[eternal nest]

caps at around 40/hr for canada

30-40 based on experience/year iirc

[earnest mortar]

ye 40 makes sense

[dark portal]

i see

man i scored 709 on the databricks oa

fucking rip

[earnest mortar]

how often do you do practice codesignals

[dark portal]

almost every day for the past week

5 times

[earnest mortar]

rip lol

[dark portal]

in total

the highest i've scored is 813

but it was freakin practice lmfao

[earnest mortar]

they're pretty much the same difficulty, unless you're unlucky during the actual one

[dark portal]

ahh i see

i made a dumbass mistake on q2, which blew like... 45 minutes lmao

i finished q1 in 2 mins

[earnest mortar]

yeah..

[dark portal]

and i was very close to finishing q4

[earnest mortar]

q1 is always the same lol u should be able to do it in like 30seconds if you type fast

i already start typing the for loop for q1 while reading the question

[dark portal]

lmaooo

i noticed the same thing, too

[earnest mortar]

yeee lol

[eternal fossil]

fuck it bro

[eternal fossil]

cant be jobless and on leetcode for 8 hours a day when im not getting any assessments

[worldly ridge]

ur time will come, i believe in you

[eternal fossil]

also if i do good on my amazon final thats coming on the 10th of september

i wont need to salt fries

[analog current]

Can someone explain how Canadian citizens can apply to US roles, which sponsorship do we need?

I'm a noob

[vivid fiber]

For ft TN

For intern J1

[analog current]

for fulltime, u technically dont need sponsorship, you can go to the border and get a TN visa for 50 bucks if you show offer letter and degree

so u can sponsor yourself

also what time does amazon usually send out OA?

its 1 pm in ontario so 10 am in BC, im assuming the recruiting bot is still not awake

[plush rune]

got mine at 5:06 pm EST a few weeks ago on a monday

[analog current]

Friend got his at a similar time

Alright, I’ll kill myself at 6:00 pm sharp then👍

[steel escarp]

BoA big L

🤣

[analog current]

fair

[summer matrix]

When is Amazon updating portal

[tight gale]

Dw they should be sending the rejections out anytime soon

[analog current]

does portal change for OA? @tight gale

[tight gale]

No idea I never looked at the portal

[analog current]

👌🏾

[summer matrix]

App submitted. It changes to "under consideration" once you finish oa

And passes both

[analog current]

YOOOOOOOOOO

JUST GOT OA

YOOOOOOOO

@grizzled meteor

[tight gale]

Yoo congratz

Get me that referral $$

[plush rune]

yooo u don't need to kill yourself at 6 pm congrats bro

[grizzled meteor]

[analog current]

I LOVE ALL OF YOU

Manifesting hrt now

Manifesting hrt now

[errant field]

Anyone have any tips for Amazon OA? Both leetcode and workstyle

[torn roost]

Did they actually ask why this industry o_o I have stuff for why RBI but I have yet to meet developer that specifically wants to work in QSR, I feel like just telling I have no preference for the industry

[analog current]

manifesting

manistfesting

[steel escarp]

ye they did ask me

🤣

i think they have a list of questions they can ask

and the interviewers just look at those and pick

Still waiting on Zon to hmu

im done sliding window/ 2 pointer patterns

[dark portal]

Same

Those were easy

It's fucked out here boys. IBM and 4 other internships later, and I still get rejected by paypal

[tight gale]

Tree/graph

Bfs dfs top sort djikstras MST kruskals prims tarjans if you have time close to that order

[analog current]

bruh

[tight gale]

I believe

[steel escarp]

they dont sponsor

[dark portal]

What about ng?

[steel escarp]

idk

[dark portal]

I applied for internships

[steel escarp]

but ik interns don't sponsor

[dark portal]

Okay, still brutal nonetheless

[steel escarp]

i mean paypal in the state

they give interview for ppl with 750+ gca

[dark portal]

Which isn't too bad

I think I'll be able to achieve 800+ in the next 2 months, if I keep studying lc for 4 - 5 hours / day

[steel escarp]

why not spamming gca?

[dark portal]

I have 2 accounts on codesignal, and do 2 codesignals a day

I've taken a break from leetcode recently, and I'm focusing on grokking

[steel escarp]

make it 10 account

👀

do 10 times a day

[dark portal]

Then, the goal is to do blind 75 in 2 weeks

[steel escarp]

u will get 800+ in a week

🤣

[deft anvil]

hi Shaq, how does this work? Did you use same personal ID for both accounts since the Codesignal GCA has proctoring

[dark portal]

I've got 813 b4

[dark portal]

I created one using my university email, and I created the other using my Gmail account

I go into incognito mode if I have to switch

[plush rune]

wait if u already got 813 then why did u say "ill be able to achieve 800+ in 2 months" lmao

[dark portal]

I meant consistently lol

RN, I can achieve 720 - 740 pretty consistently

I want to get to a point where I can achieve 800+ in 3 / 5 tests

[plush rune]

bruh

if u get 813 u can reuse that score for th next 6 months lol

u can just resubmit that

lmfao

[dark portal]

That was a practice test though

[plush rune]

BRUH u gotta say that next time lmfao

practice tests are not on the same level as the real actual thing

[dark portal]

Fuck

Lol

Really didn't find too much of a difference between the databricks oa and the practice questions

[plush rune]

r n g

[dark portal]

I just didn't read the question properly like a dumbass, and wasted tons of time on q2

[hazy heath]

Hello, this is the first time I’m applying for internships, and I’ve only solved about 20 leetcode problems for now (i'm still solving one problem per day though). I’ve heard that the earlier you apply, the better it is, but I feel like I’m not ready. Could you give me advices on when and how to approach first-time internship applications for this newbie?

[dark portal]

Just apply

Some companies can take months to get back

You should apply as soon as possible, to have a greater chance of a recruiter looking at your resume

[steel escarp]

its the same tho i think they just rotate the same questions in the test bank

[plush rune]

doubt it

i found practice problems a whole lot easier

[steel escarp]

i got some questions reused from practice

[plush rune]

granted i havent done codesignal in a while

[steel escarp]

idk its prb just rng

[plush rune]

ye

[hazy heath]

should I start applying by just going through job seeking websites like indeed or linkedin?

and apply for big techs and startups at the same time?

[dark portal]

Yeah go through LinkedIn and search 'intern', 'co-op', 'Summer', and 'Student'

[dark portal]

Yup

Apply for EVERYTHING if this is your first internship

Trust me

[hazy heath]

Ayt thanks for the advice!

[hazy heath]

Oh yeah also applications shouldn't be limited to Canada right?

[dark portal]

Yeeaaah... but it might be more effective to stick to Canada

I doubt anyone's going to sponsor you, if you have 0 prior experience

But, there are exceptions to this rule

You can apply to companies that are willing to sponsor, and see how it goes

[untold nebula]

Which year are you in?

[hazy heath]

By sponsor you mean like housing and flight tickets right?

[hazy heath]

first~second year

I live in Quebec so the system is kinda weird

[untold nebula]

Sponsor means they have to get you a visa to work in the US

Applying to the US with no experience and as a first/second year means you'll get like no interviews

It's not impossible but it's tough

Source: I did this in first/second year

If you have time, then apply. Otherwise prioritize Canadian apps

[hazy heath]

Thanks for the advices!

[untold nebula]

There's some first/second year programs tech companies have

Try finding those, you could get lucky and get an interview

Example: Google step, Microsoft explore, Uber star, etc

If they have a Canadian entity they can pay you through that while you work remotely for a us office

No sponsorship needed

[plain plover]

did affirm post swe ng for Canada?

[dark portal]

Not yet

[azure vortex]

any canadians got microsoft intern interview yet?

[sudden wave]

application transferred

Been stuck there for weeks

Just reject me already so I can move on

[summer matrix]

Has anyone not got an Amazon portal update today?

[dark portal]

nah not yet

[ivory shuttle]

Anyone on amazon new grad portal says its a draft application but when you follow the link it says its complete?

[ivory shuttle]

Is that normal? Its been like that for a while

[summer matrix]

Only check student portal

[storm stream]

new grad is posted?

[dreamy holly]

Any advice for Amazon Canada final?

[timid tartan]

Does anyone know whether Linkedin sponsors J-1 visa?

[dark portal]

Where apps?

[timid tartan]

It’s on linkedin itself lmao

[sudden wave]

only thing I see on the application is H1-B visa idk where ur seeing the J-!

but idk how sponsoring works for US stuff so idk

[steel escarp]

they do

[steel escarp]

couples are posted LOL

[sudden wave]

what's considered a good codesignal score

[tight gale]

800+

[sudden wave]

rip so ig a 770 is pretty shit then

[fervent junco]

is circle codesignal auto

[tight gale]

Depends where you are applying

But anyways it's all rng no one knows the cutoff just pray

[sudden wave]

kek I'm pretty sure HRT is not gonna accept anything less than 800 so rip

[dark portal]

Codesignal is so fucked

I got 300/300 on 2 questions, and for the third one I got 250/300

Ended up getting a score of 720

[steel escarp]

ye codesignal doesn't my much scores if u can't solve the whole question

[old ferry]

q4 usually requires some optimization, most commonly hashmaps and binary search in my experience

[dark portal]

Brutal

Yeah I noticed to that too tbh

I mean, I only really notice the hash maps lol

[placid dawn]

long week

[mental monolith]

Anyone applying to MS NG got anything yet

They're taking so long lmao

[neon path]

Never done codesignal before

What should I do before taking circle oa

[round cradle]

[west relic]

When did you interview?

[sudden wave]

Took me abt 5 business days

[summer matrix]

August 23

[cyan sonnet]

hey y'all just had a question for u guys applying for summer 2023 intern positions, are you guys getting OAs and stuff? Cuz I'm basically getting ghosted, and can't tell if it's my resume or just bc of the general market + canadians requiring sponsorshipo
it's weird like, I had better responses last year, and this year im like
getting straight resume rejected or no OAs, even after interning at salesforce

[earnest mortar]

i'd be more than happy to help you out if you need help with that resume 🙂

also never give up, keep applying, still kinda early i think

[cyan sonnet]

mind if i ask for where?

[tight gale]

Oo gl

And refer me

[cyan sonnet]

mmm mmaybe perhaps, maybe im just super crap

[earnest mortar]

nah his resume and experience is really solid

(he goes to UofT too btw)

just a little unlucky

[cyan sonnet]

oh are u both uoft?

[earnest mortar]

im at a noname

[cyan sonnet]

bc i know him in real life sir!!!

i do not 😦

[dark portal]

is this for ng or internships?

@cyan sonnet this is my resume and i'm getting straight ghosted / rejected alot too this year

much more than last year

[earnest mortar]

y'all everyone here has STACKED resumes jeez

yeah he told me

i saw it too, it just didn't occur to me that recruiters would reject straight up because of that

because they usually ask for grad date as a sep question too

[orchid robin]

Ur phone icon is backwards bro

Should be other way around

[dark portal]

@digital mural bro, can you take a look at my resume? i'm really struggling out here, not even getting oa's / first round interviews. I've received about 20 rejections so far, and 1 oa from databricks

yeah

[orchid robin]

20 rejections is nothing

[dark portal]

so that doesnt really count lol

[dark portal]

i know, but no further interviews bro

[earnest mortar]

i told McGrubba that it's still pretty early

are you going for ng?

[dark portal]

also, this is for internships, i graduate in may 2024

i trim them down depending on the job posting

[earnest mortar]

i mean i don't think ssi's points are deal breakers

patience padawan

yee

[dark portal]

yeah

[old ferry]

i recommend cold emailing, usually works much better than just applying

[dark portal]

i havent gotten an oa from amzn either

[earnest mortar]

they will take months to reply LOL

[dark portal]

how do i find the email of the recruiter(s)?

[earnest mortar]

i got mine early feb last year

granted i did apply in nov

[dark portal]

okay, but by that time, arent all the intern spots filled up?

[earnest mortar]

not always

[old ferry]

use the Clearbit chrome extension

[earnest mortar]

shopify, wealthsimple release their apps in jan/feb

[dark portal]

do you really think that they're gonna do summer internships this year?

[earnest mortar]

quite sure

[placid dawn]

anyone else not getting any oas lmao

[earnest mortar]

the recession isn't that bad yet

y'all are acting like this is 2008's reenactment

[placid dawn]

is stripe open yet

[earnest mortar]

not bad enough to not hire any interns

especially for a company like amazon who's profits are going up in certain orgs like ads

oh yeah

it can get worse that's for sure

[tight gale]

Google still isnt hiring unfortunately

[earnest mortar]

if i'm correct, a hiring freeze doesn't necessarily mean not hiring, it just means that they stopped expanding, still means they're hiring for current vacancies

[tight gale]

No team matching rn

I've been stuck in tm phase for like 2 months

[earnest mortar]

i thought they released new grads a few days ago?

[tight gale]

Yea no team match though

[earnest mortar]

rippp

[tight gale]

New grad that was posted is for 2023 start anyway

I was hoping to start later this year but I'll prob have to wait next year too

[earnest mortar]

that means they're gonna give peasants like me dp hard in technicals (if i get there :

yee

[tight gale]

I got dp hard

Its definately possible

I didnt solve but still passed hc so

[earnest mortar]

a solid 95.8% likelihood

[earnest mortar]

joma woulda solved it

[tight gale]

I dont think they expect anyone to solve just give reasonable thought process

[earnest mortar]

they just wanna find out if you're the next einstein

[plush rune]

i feel like this is a doubt tbh

considering they went thru significant layoffs, so who knows tbh

could go either way cuz interns also cost a fraction for companies compared to legit full time employees

[dark portal]

pretty much bro, and this shit is demotivating

even places where i fulfill 80 - 100% of the requirements and apply super early, i still get rejected

[dark portal]

yeah, i wouldn't be surprised if shopify + wealthsimple back off from hiring interns for some time

[earnest mortar]

ye i echo that too potentially

[dark portal]

fuck

boys, would having two ibm internships + an 8 month part-time position at ibm + 4 other internships on my resume be a significant detriment for new grad apps at faang / unicorn

[earnest mortar]

ur internship at ibm seems to be productive unlike mine

[plush rune]

^

[dark portal]

everyone always shit's on ibm

[plush rune]

my ibm internship wasnt close to being productive as well

[dark portal]

especially on blind and reddit

[plush rune]

can barely talk about what i did

lmao

[plain plover]

Wait google canada released ng?

[dark portal]

i got hammered with work, we had a team filled with staff and band 9 engineers

[earnest mortar]

states did, not canada yet

[dark portal]

like... i've been stagnant, right?

[earnest mortar]

i had a team full of staff and band 9 engineers, only time we communicated was when i had questions for them and standups

[plush rune]

there are a couple ppl at my shitty uni who got amazon as their first internship lmao

its extremely rng

[earnest mortar]

yee lool

[dark portal]

this year looks like it's gonna be a shitshow for internships, so my plan is to just grind leetcode + EPI + CTCI for the next 10 - 11 months, and then mass apply to new grad roles. That way, I'll destroy any interviews coming my way. oh, and obviously updating my portfolio and studying up sys design

[dark portal]

loool... we're a highly profitable part of ibm cloud, and we develop alot of the new stuff that roles out

yeah, this is what's so fucking odd to me

i applied 2 weeks ago, it literally says 'Application Submitted' on the portal

[plush rune]

took me 2 months to get amazon oa 2 yeras ago btw

2 weeks is nothin

[earnest mortar]

my team ran the engine for the IBM business automation product and i guess they thought twice before letting me mess with that code

[dark portal]

each and every single one. The first time that i applied, i had 4 ta positions + 2 internships + 2 ra positions

[dark portal]

loool

yup

literally, got rejected time and time again

no oa either

meanwhile, other guys i know (even at my school), will go from no-name ---> Zon OA

and this is what's frustrating me

we went over this the other day, and i don't wanna go over it again, lol

[plush rune]

didnt u have a chance at google once?

last year or some shit

[dark portal]

but i feel as if the lack of intership interviews given to me (even with a very good resume) is gonna fuck over my new grad opportunities

[dark portal]

yeah, never moved on, passed the oa

[plush rune]

even with 100 on the oa?

thats odd af

[dark portal]

but like a dumbass i took it late

so that's why

yes

[plush rune]

for google u need to get 100 on the oa within the 2 week period to get phone lmoa

[dark portal]

phone + oa

[plush rune]

^^

[dark portal]

tf?

[plush rune]

something doesnt add up

[dark portal]

i got phone first and then oa

[plush rune]

what??

[dark portal]

recruiter reached out via email, we had a phone call, then i got an oa

[plush rune]

google goes resume screen -> oa -> phones -> HC

so u prob didnt ace the oa since u got past the resume screen already lmao

[dark portal]

yeah after i applied to their posting

[plush rune]

u should have gotten technical phones if u aced the oa

[dark portal]

lemme try looking for the email

[plush rune]

this has to be it

[dark portal]

no it said i passed test cases

maybe

[plush rune]

are u sure? google oa has two visible test cases lmao

it literally says "u need to account for all the edge cases on ur own"

so it gives u an option to write up the edge cases

and run ur code against them

[dark portal]

yes i passed the resume screen, and a recruiter reached out to my email for a phone call

[plush rune]

then u didnt get 100 on the oa

they dont do a second resume screen after the oa

u prob didnt get the edge casees

[dark portal]

i never wrote any edge cases

[plush rune]

gg thats why

ya

[dark portal]

don't recruiters ghost after perfect oa's?

i have heard this happens alot

[plush rune]

definitely not for google lmao

and yes for auto oas

where they already did a resume screen

before oa

[dark portal]

tbh, i wouldn't get pissed even if google didn't move on... they get like 10,000,000 apps every year, so it's understandable

[plush rune]

this pretty much explains it btw

u needed to write edge cases for the google oa

[dark portal]

yeah, and for that it's because i didn't do to well on the gca

[plush rune]

i had a bunch of edge case tests when i did mine last year

[dark portal]

got mid 700's i think?

[plush rune]

lmao.....

[dark portal]

did you move on?

[plush rune]

ya i got phones

[dark portal]

how was your phone interview?

[plush rune]

lc meds, didnt get past

[dark portal]

damn

[earnest mortar]

Dw man i suck at LC too

[dark portal]

40, but i'm doing grokking rn

[plush rune]

theres ur answer bro

u need to keep up onto of ur LC game

as canadians from smaller schools we only get a few opportunities - u cant just blow the few OAs u get

u need to absolutely kill them

interviews are a diff story

yea

[dark portal]

frosty, the thing is, i'm not mad about the fact that i don't pass interviews, i'm pissed that i can't even get them. Google and Affirm were really the only ones i got last year

[plush rune]

well u blew the google oa

YES

like

what??

[steel escarp]

what is google oa

never got it in my life

[plush rune]

40 LC isnt enough bro being straight up

u need more

[dark portal]

okay, guys do i still have hope this year, or is it already over?

[steel escarp]

tbh i think 40 is enough if u have really good foundation

[plush rune]

obviously u still got a chance bro

instead of weeping here u need to go grind

[dark portal]

like... how big of a chance are we talking about here?

[vivid fiber]

There is no magic number

[dark portal]

i cover about 2 -3 topics in grokking every day and do all easies and meds

[vivid fiber]

It depends on the person

And how well they study

[steel escarp]

there are some in my code

[vivid fiber]

Chill my guy, it isn't even September yet

[tight gale]

How would anyone here know your chances

[dark portal]

yeah it is... we're 2 days away

[vivid fiber]

Once it's October mayb start cursing the sky

[plush rune]

u should have passed the google oa

its a diff story if u got the phones and bombed them

[steel escarp]

lol lots of places start summer hiring in jan/feb

i'd say october is still early in canada

[plush rune]

but the fact that u got past google's resume screen means ur def getting opportunities lmao

[vivid fiber]

True tbh

[plush rune]

its on you if u cant capitalize on the oas

[vivid fiber]

I only got Snap in February lol

[dark portal]

okay, even if i don't get faang / unicorn, i'm hoping i can get cap 1, goldman sachs, visa, etc

[steel escarp]

nah i like maple syrup

👀

[plush rune]

bro instead of telling us over and over again just go grind bro

to be completely honest ive seen u tell us this multiple times

[vivid fiber]

I'm a bot 🤖

[plush rune]

u need to grind LC bro

[dark portal]

bro, calm tf down

[plush rune]

im telling u to grind bro lmao

[dark portal]

yeah and you've already fucking said that, and i am lmao

[steel escarp]

wonder yk if canadian apple has new grad program?

👀

[dark portal]

yeah i finished dfs and bfs on grokking today

[vivid fiber]

Apparently Apple has some rotational program

[tight gale]

Dfs bfs but gfs when

[vivid fiber]

Idk if it's out yet

[steel escarp]

ye but its for the state

kinda sadge

[dark portal]

i mean... if you're good looking and have decent social skills, you'll get one eventually bro

[vivid fiber]

Is it damn

[steel escarp]

ye in the state they have ml and general swe rotational program

idk if canada has it

[tight gale]

What if neither of those

[vivid fiber]

@dark portal for Apple u can just apply to any old entry-level positions

[steel escarp]

fax

[vivid fiber]

Nope disagree

You need both

LC skills help get the job

Social skills help keep it, and help get promos

I coud nvr lmaooo

[dark portal]

damn, really? i've heard apple has no standardized format. It can be leetcode or behavioural-technical

[steel escarp]

^

sometimes they dont even ask u technical

[dark portal]

i mean... i'm not a good looking guy, and my social skills aren't top notch, but still you should be able to get something

[steel escarp]

shake hands and offer

🤣

[azure vortex]

cap1 does not sponsor

[steel escarp]

cap1 has canada internship

[dark portal]

yeah that's the plan

hell, even morgan stanley is fine lmao

i know one guy who went from morgan stanley (internship) to faang (new grad)

[old ferry]

i got nuro with only 50ish but i was way unprepared, got lucky with systems oriented questions lol. definitely need to do blind 75 at the very least to be comfy with most meds and some hards

[steel escarp]

tbh u can go from nothing to faang new grad

theorically

[dark portal]

only reason i took a break from leetcode is to re-learn the fundamentals

i can start doing med bfs and dfs now, so... that's good lol

[old ferry]

just gotta spend a month or so grinding a couple hours a day, you catch onto the patterns pretty quick

[placid dawn]

step 1. be handsome.
step 2. dont be ugly

[tight gale]

At what TC could I overcome 1 and 2

[dark portal]

Bro, women don't care about money

Like.. they'd rather be with a good looking guy, who has a great personality and makes 50k, than a nerd who makes 500k

Well, at least the women worth going for

That's a cold hard fact

[placid dawn]

so youre saying if you arent cute then you're hopeless

[dark portal]

Lol not really... I'm just saying that money isn't at the top of the list for like... most decent women out there

I hate to say this too, but if you don't learn the ins and outs of dating (or at least gain significant exposure to it) during high school and post secondary, you're gonna have a horrific time afterwards

Alot of stable people get paired off in high school or university / college

Not saying that it's hopeless, far from it, but it just makes it alot harder afterwards

[tight gale]

Will watching tate courses help

[worldly ridge]

stop

you have a grilfriend

[dark portal]

No. Andrew Tate is a misogynist and sexist. We must all bow down to women at all costs. If you don't date a girl because she has an OnlyFans, then you're somehow a racist

[earnest mortar]

ye ikr

Hi guys I am currently in egypt and an international student and wanna go to canada for uni. I have about 32,500 cad per year to spend on tuition, dorm, food, just everything thats all i have to spend can anyone recommend me some good unis within that price range for mechatronics or cs

[summer matrix]

Anyone not getting an Amazon portal update?

[placid dawn]

regina is cheap af but very lame

[dark portal]

Any idea on how much Scotiabank Velocity pays?

[neon path]

Alberta

[timid tartan]

Took me 1+ month to get the OA

I thought I got screened out again lmao but luckily I got it this time

[steel escarp]

Cuz ur toooo gud ⭐ ⭐ ⭐

[ivory shuttle]

65k

[analog current]

زيك يا باشا عامل ايه

UAlberta, YorkU, New Foundland Mem U

in order of best to worst in CS

NFMU, York, Alberta

in order of cheapest to most expensive

york is not a bad option, its a decent name and has relatively cheap tuition for intls (15k as opposed to 30k+ for other unis), it is located in Ontario which has more internship opportunities than the other 2 (except maybe alberta), the only issue would be toronto housing

[tight gale]

زيك يا باشا عامل اي

Why does it delete from left to right

[analog current]

arabic spells from right to left

sussy language

[tight gale]

Oo so discord knows to delete the right way

Interesting

[analog current]

one of the few apps that do

btw grinded out a nice tree BFS/DFS sesh today

[tight gale]

[placid dawn]

dafuq is this

[dark portal]

don't worry bro, i also uploaded a brazzers pic as my resume

[analog current]

bruh i was late night overthinking, i exaggerated a little too much on my resume, you think that could bite in the ass on the zon interview?

for example i tweaked some API parameters and i said that i created a whole API

[placid dawn]

they dont really ask anything about the resume

[analog current]

also i said i used AWS RDS even though i didnt, just to hit that keyword

[placid dawn]

u just gotta know how to BS LP questions

[analog current]

alright will do

[dark portal]

i just put aws ec2 on my resume lol

[placid dawn]

I put ceo of amazon

[ivory shuttle]

Did you all write a cover letter for capital ones application?

[dark portal]

Ur applying to the US right?

[ivory shuttle]

No

For 🇨🇦

[dreamy holly]

How to find top Canadian internships? 🤔

I only know capital one, Microsoft and amazon are open rn

Actually, is capital one open rn? Can’t find link

[sudden spruce]

I don't think c1 is open yet

[steel escarp]

they did open for new grad and winter 2023

👀

[ivory shuttle]

Im confused is that for events attendee only?

[steel escarp]

no they have new post

and remove events attendee only

[placid dawn]

i got a final invitation for c1 i think

then they canceled day before they realized im from CA

[steel escarp]

[sudden spruce]

[tranquil pawn]

any tips for the amazon oa?

[summer matrix]

Has amazon slowed down hiring

[timid tartan]

Same 😭

[placid dawn]

pass it

[analog current]

shit

@tight gale amazon slowed down hiring?

[tight gale]

Not too sure I havent heard anything definitive

[analog current]

could internship offers get rescinded?

[tight gale]

No

[analog current]

👍

[tight gale]

Your already in the pipeline I wouldn't worry

[dark portal]

The moment Amazon stops hiring... you know it's time to pack up your stuff buddy boyos

[vapid oracle]

It’s the only explanation for why they would reject me

[tight gale]

@steel escarp did you apply https://jobs.roblox.com/careers/job?domain=roblox.com&pid=137451388296&pid=137448067325&areaOfWork=internships and new graduates&domain=roblox.com&job_index=1

[steel escarp]

I didnt even do their oa 🤣

[tight gale]

Y

[steel escarp]

My computer cant run the cognitive stuff

So i gave up

[tight gale]

Lol

[steel escarp]

Its k i heard they ask lc hard

I will fail final anyway

[tight gale]

I believeeeee

[steel escarp]

u should get roblox 👀

ultimate flex

i'll tell ppl that i have a friend working at robox 🤣

[tight gale]

[untold nebula]

"isn't that a kids game"

[steel escarp]

it is 👀

[lucid berry]

Same lmao

Computers can run VR games but fear the Roblox OA

[spring wren]

wait do they acc ask lc hard

even intern?

[storm stream]

Hey guys I'm a bit out of the loop, what's out for new grad in Canada?

[steel escarp]

me

i'm out

[ruby fossil]

How to apply?

[steel escarp]

can't

recruiters reach out

[ruby fossil]

Rip

[dark portal]

lol i'm hoping it's still very early for alot of intern / new grad postings, because if not, then gg everyone

[ivory shuttle]

what does in progress- candidate review mean for c1

[placid dawn]

i means that it's in progress

[eternal fossil]

anyone up rn

need an opinion on sumn

[vivid fiber]

on wat

[dark portal]

ye

[eternal fossil]

Should I reschedule my Amazon final

I need a week more to prep

I haven’t received confirmation for my interview

[delicate cedar]

so you dont have a date yet? can try asking

[eternal fossil]

Ya I don’t have a date

[vivid fiber]

If u dont tink u r ready i tink its betr 2 resched

[dark portal]

is number of islands type problems usually enough for graph problems at faangs / unicorns (i know it's different for every one, but generally speaking is understanding this type of problem usually enough)?

[dark portal]

also, yeah i'd reschedule tbh

[eternal fossil]

I actually just got to doing that question before I chose my bed

[dark portal]

lol nice

yeah, i'm hoping i can get through like... the top 10 - 15 most frequently asked questions on leetcode for graphs fairly quickly

i know the approach i need to take for this problem, but my implementation is off

i'm studying those leetcode explore cards on graph rn, and then coming back

[ivory shuttle]

anyone knows about ixl learning

[dark portal]

ye

pretty sure they have a wide variety of courses from grades 1 - 8 or 9

[ivory shuttle]

they sent an OA without a phone screen

[ornate sigil]

number of islands is a really basic dfs/bfs

you can get asked more advanced graph problems, although, not by a whole lot.

minimum spanning tree comes to mind.

[tight gale]

You can get asked MST prims kruskals djikstras tarjans

[dark portal]

fuckin brutal

[eternal fossil]

Amazon won’t reschedule

That’s fried

[upper linden]

Bro I still haven’t gotten an update after the Amazon oa

This is madddd

When they gonna give me the final interview 😭

[dark portal]

I still haven't gotten an oa after my Amazon application

[fickle juniper]

Wow really?? That’s surprising

I remember I ghosted their OA and I got an auto extension after the deadline passed

[fickle juniper]

What was the reasoning u used to reschedule?

[eternal fossil]

I feel like if they’re not rescheduling

And if they aren’t sending out more finals

Seems sus

What if they reached capacity

😐

Because after my oa2 my email to schedule final was within 9 hours

[dark portal]

yeah, i think they might've just reached capacity for this year

fat L for getting Zon oa's

[azure vortex]

number of islands is trivial

[fickle juniper]

Lol amazon defs has not reached capacity

[tired mica]

It’s September lmao

Stop overreacting

[steel escarp]

ahhhh no

haven't got any offer in sept

i'm ded

[vivid fiber]

A friend told me they are

No clue how reliable of info it is

[vivid fiber]

For Amazon and Microsoft maybe

For other big tech and unicorns prob not

[steel escarp]

damn msft doesn't sound too hard then

if easy/med is common then prob passing resume screen is the hardest

[vivid fiber]

Yeah

Although I know som1 who got a hars for intern, tho dats the exception

[fickle juniper]

Wait are we talking about summer internships???

[steel escarp]

but then do they expect u to solve it?

[vivid fiber]

Last year

[vivid fiber]

Idk

They solved it

Got the offer 🤩

[fickle juniper]

Oh were talking about 2022 new grad ig

[vivid fiber]

No I was talkin bout 22 intern

[fickle juniper]

I thought were talking about 2023 internships

Ohh gotcha

[vivid fiber]

It's unlikely

[fickle juniper]

There's almost no way

[vivid fiber]

So yoy prob don't gotta study it

[steel escarp]

someone got 2023 ng oa btw

for msft

[vivid fiber]

Ya less dan 1%

[vivid fiber]

Ya Jseus

[steel escarp]

ye

[vivid fiber]

But he's a goat

[steel escarp]

@fickle juniper hand ur resume in person 👀

[fickle juniper]

I don't even know if there have been enough hours since they've opened to have done all the required interviews for Zon

[steel escarp]

i wonder how effective it is

🤣

[fickle juniper]

Wait what are we referring to now

[steel escarp]

msft

[fickle juniper]

I always hand in my resume in person

[steel escarp]

😛

go to their office dt

[fickle juniper]

I've spent 100s of thousands of dollars flying to hqs

[steel escarp]

and do it

stream it

🤣

[fickle juniper]

What if I don't want

To stream an instant rejection 💀

[steel escarp]

then u can just stream an instant offer

[fickle juniper]

Holy crap

Don't know why I didn't think of that damn

[steel escarp]

ikr

[fickle juniper]

I've decided to skip recruiting tbh, just going to take HS and live life LOL

[steel escarp]

meh i'd just interview

cuz like worst case HS might rescind ur offer

[fickle juniper]

I wanna spend time on other stuff ngl

[steel escarp]

just worst worst case

[fickle juniper]

Maybe

[steel escarp]

just have 2 offers in hand fs

[fickle juniper]

I really doubt it tho

[steel escarp]

👀

i will just sign offer w ibm and renege later

[fickle juniper]

Ohh u got ibm offer??

[steel escarp]

data scientist

in consulting branch

sadge

me with client facing role 🤡

[fickle juniper]

Is that swe??

Ohh ic

[steel escarp]

its ds

but u develop solution for customers

i want a product team

[fickle juniper]

Ohh thats cool if u like ds

[steel escarp]

but ibm software is oom oom

at least for my department

[fickle juniper]

Idk i think id rather just skip this recruiting cycle altogether

[steel escarp]

👀

[fickle juniper]

Doesn't seem too fun

[steel escarp]

when will u be an interviewer 👀

[fickle juniper]

I'll just look again after 1yoe if I feel like

[steel escarp]

giveme 2 sum

[fickle juniper]

If ur lucky HS interview is even easier than 2sum LOL

[steel escarp]

🤣

wtf

shake hands and offer?

sounds like some oil/gas in calgary

[fickle juniper]

Hubspot cares way more about culture fit

At least for junior level

For higher level backend they care a lot about culture + sys design + db knowledge

Which makes sense imo

[steel escarp]

👀 hopefully they don't care about how bad i am

[fickle juniper]

I alr told them to watch for u

So don't be surprised

[steel escarp]

🤣

[fickle juniper]

If u get instant rejection

[steel escarp]

ur lying

[fickle juniper]

[steel escarp]

they're ghosting me

[fickle juniper]

Internships just came out for HS today I saw

[steel escarp]

👀

i applied to a general swe post

back in july 8th

then i reapplied a month ago

🤣

[fickle juniper]

There was a hiring freeze i think

[dark portal]

That's horrifically brutal lol

[dark portal]

You applied to hubspot internship too?

Nvm I'm dumb, didn't look at the comments above

@steel escarp did you get the offer from IBM consulting?

[vivid fiber]

It's da truth

[dark portal]

Damn, true true

[vivid fiber]

Like at both Uber and Snap I was asked LC hards

[dark portal]

You solved lc hard at snap? Fuck

I can only do easies and meds

Trynna do meds more consistently and then break into hards

[placid dawn]

i remember in 2019 i applied with shity resumes

and got netflix + uber + shopify interviews

and many others

[steel escarp]

No it was a general swe position

But @fickle juniper took the post down and ghost me

[vivid fiber]

Snap basically seems to regularly ask lc hards for final

[dark portal]

I'll remember applying this year with 5 internships and a part time position at ibm for 8 months, only to sit in my ass

[fickle juniper]

Oof u missed the cutoff by 0.1milliseconds sorry m8

[eternal fossil]

did someone submit cover letter

and transcript

for capital one?

i have sent a cover letter before but now i cant find it ffs

ugh i forgot to merge them in

ffs

[placid dawn]

meanwhile.. mfs in the usa be like

[storm stream]

You returning to snap? Did you like the internship?

[vivid fiber]

Bruh they ain't givin returns 😭

[storm stream]

Fuucckkk 😭😭

[reef atlas]

@fickle juniper yo do u know what HubSpot pay for ng, intern is for Canada? U work there right

[fickle juniper]

I think I replied to you in the other server haha

[reef atlas]

Tysm!

[dark portal]

I think it's around 45 - 50 cad for Canada

Levels has it as 38 usd

Bro, I applied early to hubspot, I really hope I get in

[fickle juniper]

It’s 40 cad

50 usd if US

[fickle juniper]

Ohh but also there’s a 2k stipend, so maybe it includes that

[dark portal]

Still, that's more than enough for me

[dark portal]

Even better.

Gah damn, I want that interview

I'd literally study systems design for 10 hours a day, if I get the interview

[placid dawn]

is that it

[dark portal]

No it's actually 40 cad an hour

[placid dawn]

20 cad hour is better

the max goal is unpaid

[dark portal]

no, the ultimate goal is to pay the company for working for them

[dark portal]

does visa sponsor canadians?
