canada

[violet topaz]

okay thats the dumbest thing ive ever heard

[tawny zephyr]

sales tax and other bs alr makes it more

[steel escarp]

500k 🥜

[tawny zephyr]

sales tax is so much in canada

[plain plover]

hes exagerating but he kinda isnt wrong.

coz how are u supposed to buy a house

even when you are paid 3x the average

[tawny zephyr]

take a 40 year loan

[violet topaz]

if you think $500k is the bare minimum to make you happy you will never be happy in life

[steel escarp]

Go to halifax and settle down there

[tight gale]

No I said decent

Happy I want 1m tc

[tawny zephyr]

only 1m?

[violet topaz]

how old are you?

[tawny zephyr]

I want 1.5m

[violet topaz]

you're talking like a 17 year old right now

[plain plover]

i dont mean 500k ofc. its like an exageration. but can u buy a house on 100k cad?

[steel escarp]

U said 10M

[tawny zephyr]

1m is peanuts

[tight gale]

I am 69

[tawny zephyr]

1.5m is livable

I will cry in my lambo

[violet topaz]

you can buy a house on $100k after years of working yes

[tawny zephyr]

its fine

[tight gale]

Who wants to pay off a house for 20+ years

[plain plover]

how many years u think fr?

[tawny zephyr]

30

[plain plover]

its not about a house. idk about u guys but house mean stability

[tawny zephyr]

by the time u are 50 u can own a house

and then be old enough to die so u can give it to ur kids

[violet topaz]

also you don't need to own a house

[plain plover]

people who think houses arent important have never been poor and it shows

[tight gale]

I want to pay off house in 1 yr with cash

[tawny zephyr]

said every rich person who has 20 diff rental properties

[violet topaz]

the amount of double negatives hurts

[plain plover]

i fixed it lol

[violet topaz]

my parents didnt own a house until late 30s

[tawny zephyr]

nice

[plain plover]

i swear to god if someone tells me renting is more economical than owning one more time my head is gonna explode. yeah how nice spend the rest of ur life paying the landlord's mortgage then. oh then 3 years down the line they will kick u out for a renoviction so they can rent it for even higher with a fresh coat of paint

[tight gale]

[plain plover]

no no even better spend the rest of your life shilling out 35% of your astronomical salary on overpriced shody condos and then at 50 u suddenly have less capital and stability than joe schmoe the plumber who had half ur salary and bought a house 30 years ago

[violet topaz]

Depends on interest rates

If you can't afford a mortgage, you can't afford a mortgage

[plain plover]

on god, i cant rn

[plain plover]

i am talking about 100k cad salary. with that u cant afford a house my guys. its not because u havent busted ur ass off. (ur salary is literarly double the median) its because houses are overpriced 400% times

[violet topaz]

im not disagreeing

landlords and housing market agents are parasites and it should not be a free market

but if owning properties was always more economical or possible everyone would buy a house

[plain plover]

I am talking about 100k swe salary. if on that salary u cant afford it. then it is a rigged game for the rest of 90% of the people.

[dark portal]

I agree

[violet topaz]

yes, the world is an unfair fucked up place

[dark portal]

With a 300k salary you can only afford an 800k home

[violet topaz]

and wealth inequality has reached a boiling point in 2022

[dark portal]

And I don't think stocks or bonuses are counted towards that (I hope I'm wrong)

[plain plover]

i know boomers and 40+ years old who bought houses 10-15-20 years ago and those idiots have never done lc in their life. hell their salary is still 100k and they have more capital than u can ever dream of

and now u can graduate with their 20-15-10 yoe salary and u cant make it??? how does this make sense???

[dark portal]

Houses need to go down by about 1/2 to 2/3's

[violet topaz]

i saw a really good comment on /r/cscareerquestions that made me change my mind about leetcode

if you count the number of hours invested into doing leetcode problems, and then evaluate what sort of job or raise you can get from just learning those problems, leetcode is one of the highest paying jobs ever

[vivid fiber]

A good reddit comment 😱

[plain plover]

bro i am not against lc. i am all for it. i will grind anything. i am saying that we are going through of the hoops of interviewing they never had to even experience it !

[vivid fiber]

Didn't they hav 2 do those dumbass brain teasers tho

[violet topaz]

if you go from $90k to $150k+ just off studying problems for a week or two... that leetcode grind just paid you countless thousands per hour

[vivid fiber]

Like how many bulbs r there in NYC

[steel escarp]

How many balls u can fit in the bus 🤣

Big 4 in accounting still do those

[dark portal]

Bro, landlords who stuff like... 10 international students in a basement, need to be sent to guantanemo bay

[tight gale]

yes they are the worst

[plain plover]

or those who prey on new immigrants or the youth who moved from up north

[tight gale]

im only stuffing 8 when i become landlord

[vivid fiber]

Tru hero

[tight gale]

be the change you want to see

[plain plover]

u would have to buy a property first lol

good luck with that

[dark portal]

okay, you'll be sent off to Ukraine, and you won't be fighting for the Ukrainian side, you'll be fighting for the Russian side

I think that's a lighter sentence (personally)

[tight gale]

1 step at a time.. i just got back from the bread lines, long wait

[plain plover]

chew that hard bread well. if u choke dont bother going to the er. just die at home please.

in qc in the next five years 65% of family doctors are gonna retire with no replacement

[analog current]

im in amazon interview loop now hopefully something comes out of it

[analog current]

move to ontario we have konrad group and waterloo👍

[analog current]

friend at amazon makes like 200 and own 1.5 mil home

fuck it man we’re going to the states

[steel escarp]

Loool im curious how much u have after tax w 300k

Prob 200k?

U need like 20% for downpayment of 1.5m which is around 300k

So 2 years make sense to have a 1.5m

[tight gale]

180k from tax calculator

[placid dawn]

id rather have 200k and live in an apartment

[dark portal]

How much did he buy it at?

[dark portal]

Me too. I have a feeling buying a house is the type of shit you do, when you're like .. 30

When you're young, fresh out of university, and making like... 150k, then just move to the downtown core of your city and get plastered every night

[steel escarp]

It depends cuz if u get piped its gonna be stressful to find a new job

Cuz u have morgage and shit t pay

[placid dawn]

after wife and 1 kid i buy house

[dark portal]

[earnest mortar]

[earnest mortar]

technically if you're really really good you can be promoted in ~1 year to SDE II (which is L5)

[dark portal]

Yeah, this dude either saved up over the years and had a high down payment (possible of course), or he got financial assistance from someome else for that down payment

[earnest mortar]

facts

300k downpayment in like 2-3 years with Ontario tax rates 👀

[high tapir]

[worldly ridge]

[acoustic moss]

[worldly ridge]

[acoustic moss]

that one was posted in april tho is it still valid (for TD)

[plain plover]

Imagine they privatise healthcare but u still pay 30% taxes lololololol

[worldly ridge]

imagine if our taxes goes into free healthcare and socialized housing 💤

[oblique crater]

the biggest issue is how uneconomical medical school is and how the canadian system for bringing foreign doctors here is completely fucked

who wants to do a 4 year bachelor with no guarantee of becoming a doctor, or spend all of their 20s burnt out and broke

[worldly ridge]

we ltieraly have bill 128

[acoustic moss]

im looking for new grad but thanks so much

[gloomy nymph]

It’s not as bad as you think B

[vivid fiber]

Privatized healthcare?

[gloomy nymph]

Da

[vivid fiber]

It ain't bad if u ain't poor

[gloomy nymph]

Exactly

[vivid fiber]

If Canada had privatized healthcare I wouldn't be able to go to Uni

[dark portal]

[dark portal]

Bro, it's time I start taking school seriously again. Masters in CS at U Montreal, Queens, or U Ottawa boyos

[dark portal]

I couldn't even pass the phone stage at Sovereign Prime bro. None of us here could. They only take 1 intern

Yeah, I'll probably go for that

Do they accept an 87% with 6 internships, and a Honda civic?

What if I tell the prof that I'll cook for him wearing a bikini (yes I'm a dude)

[violet topaz]

Nvm

[dark portal]

Is it easier to get into faangs with a masters?

[violet topaz]

Idk maybe

[dark portal]

M being serious

What field?

[violet topaz]

But I’m sure it would help with FAANG

[dark portal]

Fair enough

Are there bitches in grad school?

[violet topaz]

No

[dark portal]

Awww

[placid dawn]

u just dont wana leave the school life admit it

[dark portal]

Bro with 3 years of covid, I never experienced the school life

[magic perch]

I have 2 of the faang and haven’t heard back from any of them yet so lol I think you’re ok

There’s ppl who got offers from places last year and were resume rejected this year so it’s just bad time

[magic perch]

Worth a shot fs, however I feel like referrals (like at least generic referrals where the person isn’t going above and beyond to get you noticed) don’t mean much nowadays tho bc everyone’s handing them out easily

[dark portal]

Fair enough

I guess I'll just be kinda forced to have ibm as my 6th internship

And then for new grad, I'm hoping the market recovers around this time next year

[tight gale]

Ibm good

[placid dawn]

kanada wake up dont be late for class

[placid dawn]

Incoming Faang Relationship

[placid dawn]

many postings on indeed

[placid dawn]

always worth applying

i like to waste their time

[fervent junco]

😭

[analog current]

i have a startup interview coming up and the job description includes a lot of "middleware with Java" and "Writing complex SQL queries"

where tf do i practice those

[plain plover]

hackerrank has qs on sql no?

[earnest mortar]

Middleware with java, that’s vague af

[plush rune]

ya just a waste of time

[river plinth]

is there a way to look at all intern posting for summer 2023?

[earnest mortar]

https://github.com/pittcsc/Summer2023-Internships

[fair scroll]

has anyone here managed to get an Amazon offer from a US office as a Canadian student?

[old ferry]

i don't think it's possible

[fair scroll]

yeah idk they auto reject me every time

[boreal sentinel]

same

not possible unless u have us work authorization

[dark portal]

just be a us citizen bro

[earnest mortar]

i think they only auto reject you if you apply to both canadian and us roles, and they see that you're a canadian student, idk tho

[fair scroll]

hmm alr thanks

[earnest mortar]

that begs the question whether you'd want to only apply to the US roles and eliminate your "higher" chances of getting into amazon canada vs amazon us

[broken whale]

auto reject the Canadian app too?

[earnest mortar]

just the us one

[broken whale]

I see! what do you mean here then?

[earnest mortar]

this is my guess from personal experience though, please fact check it

[broken whale]

The chances of getting into Canadian one is lower if i apply to both? sorry i don't understand

[earnest mortar]

well if my premise from the previous question holds, then if you want a position in amazon US then you apply only to the US position and not the Canadian one. Since you're Canadian you probably have a higher chance at getting the Canadian position vs the US one

[broken whale]

I see

makes sense now

[earnest mortar]

again, only my assumption

[glossy condor]

i don't think i've ever heard back from a company that uses myworkdayjobs

[analog current]

which bank pays most? rbc?

[ivory shuttle]

Is rbc hiring for new grads yet

I know scotia pays p low

[glossy condor]

yeah
I can afford to do unpaid but idk if it'd be related to software engineering
It's just a generic description for most positions

Sanofi does seem exciting low key

It seems like they're investing heavily into tech

Pretty unique for a pharma giant

[ivory shuttle]

Yeahh

Do they still have the swe role up?

I dont see it

[burnt flame]

Anyone do the sentry final yet?

[azure vortex]

i have one in a few weeks but im probably just going to withdraw my candidacy

because i looked up the hiring manager and he's from toronto not cali

tbh cant really say this

its subjective

to u, sure, it might not mean much okay

but to someone whos strugglin to find a job or really values that particular company, then it probabaly means the whole world

[dark portal]

I previously interned at ibm, so I'm not sure what IBM vs amplify is like

[oblique crater]

you really shouldnt let a job be your whole world even if you are struggling

[plush rune]

figure of speech lol

didnt mean it literally

[oblique crater]

i had 0 experience 16 months ago you just don’t take rejection personally and move on

Canadian Degree + TN is more worth imo

Save more money 🤑

How to marry US girl

[dark portal]

chick from library took my number today, but i don't think she's gonna call back lol

Fellas, pro tip: If you're trying to get a woman's number, then have her talk about herself to an extent, and ask her about it. Obviously, you need to have some similarities, but if you can break the ice, focus on her.

Women love talking about themselves (it's true). Keep the convo short, and have some playful banter going on as well (nothing too crazy / rude lol).

If she's interested she'll keep it going, if not, she'll try to end it

[oblique crater]

nice job dude but you're preaching to the wrong choir

[dark portal]

Just an FYI, i get rejected more than i get numbers, so rejection is fine

[dark portal]

how come?

[oblique crater]

many here are super career focused and are kicking the relationship can down the road until they're stable

at least that's the impression I get

[dark portal]

i think that's not the best idea for a couple of reasons, but at the end of the day it's up to them

[oblique crater]

getting a number at the library is like 30 steps ahead of where most cs students are socially

I agree but at the end of the day this is the reality from my personal experience

[dark portal]

i don't think so. I think alot of the guys here can pull it off. I'm not a super social person either, and i'm a brown dude too lol. I still get numbers

[dark portal]

fair enough

[worldly ridge]

IM WAITING FOR MY US PERSON

GET ME A US PERSON

I DONT CARE IF IM ATRACTED TO THEM, I NEED THE CITIZNEHSHIP

[dark portal]

bro, i applied to loblaws digital, with what is, IMHO, a pretty stacked resume:
(similar to this, but i have education on top, then technical skills, then experience)

these guys keep recycling their job posting

[tight gale]

What was her TC

[ivory swan]

ok and is this "chick" in the room with us right now?

[dark portal]

she was a psych student

[dark portal]

i have no idea what this means?

[placid dawn]

why u blur first 2 companies

first thing im doing when i graduate is go to indeed.us 💀

[analog current]

yo need some advice

i might get an offer for an 8 month (jan - aug) at one of the banks

this will secure winter co-op for me, but since its my last internship hunting season i wanna do my summer internship at a higher paying company

i can obviously work 4 months then quit if i find a better internship, but im afraid that better internship wont give me a return offer and i would have severed my relationship with the bank

[pine glade]

do i really need to say yes because of TN

microsoft explore pls

[analog current]

ya bro

its not TN btw its J-1 for interns

[pine glade]

aw man

thanks for the info tho :)

[analog current]

no worries, and dw it wont affect your chances, plenty of canadians have been to seattle for explore

ok boys this is a big brain moment

🔥 🔥 🔥 🔥 🔥 🔥 🔥 🔥 🔥 🔥 🔥 🔥 🔥 🔥 🔥

i have ur attention

we need a list of companies that pay new grads 100k+

and we're gonna pin it

[analog current]

also i need help

[pine glade]

man thats a tough one

if you really need a return offer then its probably best to play it safe in this economy lol

but if you don't, getting a brand name on ur resume is always great right

[dark portal]

they're startups lol

fuckin stupid how loblaws hasn't give me an answer yet lmao

i literally tailored my resume to their tech stack too lol

[placid dawn]

maybe ur name didnt work with their database bro

it happens

[reef atlas]

let's actually do this LOL i feel like nobody tryna stay in canada other than me

so we need a "guide to making OK money in canada in tech"

[tight gale]

It's a list of like 4-5 companies

[reef atlas]

which ones 👀

[dark portal]

Yeah have squiggly lines as a first and last name is problematic

[elder hamlet]

shopify pays 140k +

[worldly ridge]

for new grad?

my friend told me got paid ~90k TC cad

https://tenor.com/view/wazowski-mike-mike-sulivan-meme-monster-inc-gif-19634164

[fervent junco]

[worldly ridge]

levels says its ~90k USD though

https://www.levels.fyi/companies/shopify/salaries/software-engineer

[lucid berry]

Nah, I always heard that Shopify pay 90k CAD for new grad

[elder hamlet]

they only take return interns for new grad

the new tc for high performers is 140k cad +

[lunar sandal]

are deloitte internships for summer2023 just gone?

or have they not opened yet

[ivory shuttle]

They even closed for winter 2023

Anyone interviewed with deloitte before and knows what to expect for their tech interview

[errant field]

has anyone done the bentley systems codility OA for intern?

[tired mica]

[analog current]

i got it last week but haven’t done it, i did it last year tho and it wasn’t that bad

[errant field]

yup

[errant field]

LC easy/medium?

[analog current]

ya i would say so, i was doodoo at LC at the time and was able to get an interview

if y’all want me to, i can do it and let u know what questions they ask, since i prob a summer internship secured

i gotta make sure they send me the offer letter first tho💀

[errant field]

would appreciate it since I will be doing it a day before it's due anyways.

[tight gale]

Is zon still hiring? Thought they were wait listing

[analog current]

john bro😿

they are waitlisting new grads

interns are pretty much stagnant too, not a lot are hearing back (including me 😢)

[tight gale]

That's what I heard not sure if true

[analog current]

next year inshallah

[tight gale]

[errant field]

haven't heard back either. think we might be on a waitlist or something

[lucid berry]

Me neither

[alpine portal]

anyone hear back from CapitalOne ng?

[plain plover]

Bentley sys they pay well or no

Also whats up with publicis sapient. Are they worth it?

[dark portal]

They pay 35/hr to interns, and 85k - 95k to new grads

It's consulting, so it's a bitch. But, their offers are above average (even for toronto), so if you don't have any other options, I highly recommend you consider this opportunity

[tired mica]

according to glassdoor its sub 70k in Canada

[fervent junco]

how i get resume reject from publicis

[neon path]

Where can I check whats my score on the cisco oa?

[dark portal]

but they do contractor lol

so like no benefits and stuff

[placid dawn]

who needs benefits anyway

[crystal folio]

Just did the OA. It was fucked.

First 2 Qs were easy but no way yours solving the last in the given time

[plain plover]

Apparently they pay 70k for canada. Bro they should really know their size jfc

[potent hornet]

hey how would decreasing my course load at my university affect me in the future

like taking more than 4 years to complete my degree

[crystal folio]

Fr. They should know if their smart enough to pass their OA, they won't be working for them.

[dark portal]

Well, certain companies, but they're still a sizeable chunk ngl

[torn roost]

Hey has anyone done the Code signal OA from pinterest? I've never done a Code signal before and was wondering if there is a known cutoff to knowing if u passed or failed based on the initial coding score you get

[plush rune]

bruh are u canadian?

pinterest's been rejecting canadians left and right this year

for their cutoff, i got past with 819 last year

this year resume reject xd

[rotund meteor]

Yea Im from Canada, I applied for the internship. And thanks! I got 773 I’m hoping that’s enough

[plush rune]

ohhhhhh right mb internship

good luck!

[rotund meteor]

Thanks!

[ivory shuttle]

i got the oa but too scared to do it

[plush rune]

[glossy condor]

should i change my grade point average on my resume from the 12 point grade scale my school uses to the standard 4-point scale?
does it matter?

[analog current]

ya change it

[glossy condor]

it's so broken
80%-100%: 3 point scale
70%-79%: 3 point scale

[analog current]

nah bro what

90+ is a 4

[glossy condor]

u can have a 100, 60, and 60, which would normally average to like 74%.
using the 12 point scale at my school, that would covert to a 55%

[analog current]

it is what it is bro

[glossy condor]

it eez what it eez

[dusky spade]

Hello! Has anyone interviewed for Morgan Stanley's New Grad Full Time Technology Analyst Program ( Montreal)? Have my final coming up and was wondering what to expect. Thanks!

i thought pinterest is auto rejecting canadians for internships? did you claim that you don't need sponsorship?

[rotund meteor]

Yea, I believe the internship posting I applied to was for Canada so I claimed I didn't need sponsorship

[azure vortex]

can you link?

im pretty sure there's only a us posting this year

[rotund meteor]

I applied a month or two ago, let me see if I can find it

Yea your right, I just checked it seems I applied to a US one

[azure vortex]

but im p sure as soon as they find out you need sponsorship theyll reject you

[rotund meteor]

so right off of that the odds were slim lmao

you'd be surprised how many people don't even bother to show up

they didn't show to my school

[plain plover]

Did wealthsimple open ng for canada?

[analog current]

bro wealthsimple is going thru it rn

[plain plover]

Which uni do u go to?

[dark lintel]

Apply for us internships

[analog current]

What i did was join a club that involved some code, and listed it as experience. What’s even better is if the club has an “independent” name. So instead of UOttawa Robotics Club, it’s something like UOttawa CoolName. That way, you only list CoolName on your resume, and it looks like a startup.

Another thing that could help is research assistantship

[analog current]

Google DSC is pretty good too. I had it + 5 small - mid projects on my resume and got final for Google STEP

I was a community and code member but I listed it as "programming instructor" and overexaggerated my responsibilites

[analog current]

tbh that should be good for STEP

that would be enough work on your end, the rest is up to the rng gods

assuming nice resume

how long can this last?

like one year?

[steel escarp]

they said recession last after like 9 months

but they haven't announced the recession

so 🤷‍♂️

[plain plover]

what is this then? soft recession, pre-recession jitters???

if cs companies act like this when they are still making profit

imagine how they will treat us the day they actually start loosing money

[steel escarp]

idk 🤣

but us government hasn't declared the recession

so its a myth

but tbh it should be a recession since 80% of us money was printed the last 22 months

I think

https://techstartups.com/2021/12/18/80-us-dollars-existence-printed-january-2020-october-2021/

👀

[dark portal]

let's be honest, we're already in the recession

and we can't predict how long it'll last

but this one's gonna be a painful one, because inflation is still high (and they need to get it under control), and interest rates are still historically low (our current rate would be considered low 20 - 30 years ago)

Then, you factor in the Russo-Ukrainian war (which I don;t honestly think is going to end this year, but rather late 2023 early 2024), and the fact that, China might just invade Taiwan, and we're in for a rough rough time going forward

If China pulls the trigger, then we're fucked, because then the semi-conductor industry is going to collapse, and that opens up it's own can of worms

[graceful heart]

Deloitte hiring freeze? 😭 why this company still arrange interview?

[dark portal]

If things go right, we should be out of this recession by late 2023 early 2024
