Hi

[analog current]

hi

can i lie and identify as a marginalized group on my application?

i already am but apparently im "white" in the states

also anyone have experience with the Splunk recruiting process

just wondering im eyeing them for the summer

[tight gale]

Yes I did that before, instead of Asian I put white to pass diversity checks

[analog current]

this is a sarcastic answer 👍

im arab i wanna put black or hispanic

im half north african

so technically

im african american

i would also like to identify as a woman

maybe that would help too

[tight gale]

Tbh I'm not sure what companies do with those questionnaires

It probably has no effect

[analog current]

how many internships did u have when u applied to zon ng?

or did u return offer

[tight gale]

I had 2

[analog current]

ok so i have a chance at zon ng

i'll start leetcoding from now

[tight gale]

Yep theres always a chance just need rng to go your way

[analog current]

went my way for internship inshallah it will too for ng

[vivid fiber]

Pretty sure the ones on greenhouse have no effect

[tight gale]

@analog current did you end up getting the zon intern?

I've just finished the first project of my portfolio but I am still not sure how skillful I need to get my first job/internship in tech. I think I am not ready for any tech job...

[lucid berry]

An internship is for learning and how well you fit at the job. For a first internship, they definitely know that you don’t know everything so don’t stress yourself too much about it and just keep doing your best

[woeful mirage]

I am browsing job postings on Indeed and see so many requirements for internships/junior positions.😩

[lucid berry]

Just keep applying

[woeful mirage]

Will do

[vivid fiber]

pretty good imo

I'd say Intuit is IBM-tier or slightly above

[placid dawn]

4 monthz. lets go

[worn moss]

yea but like ibm u can end up working on interesting shit cant say the same abt intuit

[steel escarp]

Really? 👀

[worn moss]

watson, maximo, spss etc. they have a couple proper teams

[steel escarp]

Ye and the fact that they didnt give u ro because of budget even tho they said u doing really well is also interesting

Ikr

[oblique crater]

intuit is really chill from what i’ve heard

[steel escarp]

They pay so well

[oblique crater]

good wlb and decent pay

[steel escarp]

41/hr from what i heard

Im edmonton

[oblique crater]

[oblique crater]

they got hired around this time last year

blackberry seems cool if you’re into low level and systems

[worn moss]

but like if its minimum wage...

hows the interview process

yea but like whats the process is it just, questions/resume interview -> technical interview -> offer

damn i have mine on thursday

[steel escarp]

Let be honest the hardest part of getting canadian internship is resume screen 🤣

[worn moss]

just have a 2023 december grad date

its that easy

all the loo freshmen are getting away with putting a 2024 december grad date

[steel escarp]

Thats loooo

Im not loooo

[worn moss]

doesnt matter its not loo thats getting them the interviews

its the 2024 grad date

[steel escarp]

Well i mean i had my grad date as dec 2022 when i applied for summer 2022

The resp rate still low so 🤷‍♂️

no

ik a guy got intuit

why?

[vivid fiber]

Interesting is subjective

[steel escarp]

does loo allow u to graduate without coop?

[vivid fiber]

That's higher than min wage tho

[worn moss]

nah i calculated it

i can grad

2024 winter

if i overload 3 terms and dont do any coop terms

[worn moss]

in math faculty yes

in engineering nah

[steel escarp]

i mean quality is better than quantity LOL

after all u only need 1 good offer

[worn moss]

4 resume screens is really good

lmao

ik ppl getting 24 and cant get 1

do u have past exp

[steel escarp]

getting first job is hard

LOL

after the first one it should be better

[worn moss]

cold email

startups

its the cheatcode for a first internship

go on yc and vc firms filter by sector get a list of 100 companies, go on rocket reach and keep track of all the recruiters for all the 100 companies and their emails

[steel escarp]

giveme ur email

imma cold email u

👀

[worn moss]

[analog current]

how is google intern hiring for fall?

do they take like 3 people or is it a sizeable cohort?

[steel escarp]

[untold geode]

And yes I will contriute where ever I can

Are you aware of any full time ones as well by any chance?

[vivid fiber]

Oh you're looking for fulltime

Unfortunately the list is for internships

[untold geode]

Yeah thats alright too

[vivid fiber]

For fulltime I'm not really aware as I haven't been looking

[untold geode]

Its still a very helpful list cuz a lot of these companies might be hiring full time

[vivid fiber]

I'd recommend applying to non-new grad roles to

Apply to junior roles

You can even try applying for senior roles if you think you're a good fit

[elder hamlet]

quiet layoffs but not as big as the previous one

[steel escarp]

running outta savings

mcdonalds fry cook era incoming

i cant hold out any longer

[sullen crater]

Are you currently in school or did you grad?

[eternal fossil]

i graduated

its over

[drifting shore]

Not sure if it’s “worth” to u, their oa is super easy

[sullen crater]

Why not try getting a research assistant job temporarily to pay the bills? Beats mcdicks

[drifting shore]

Lc easy and med

[ocean trellis]

Does anyone have any idea what to expect at Scotiabank's 30 minute propel new grad interview?

[kind hazel]

Does the OA means i passed the resume screening stage? Also im a first year stu that has never touched leetcode so...

[drifting shore]

No, for Bentley it’s auto

F

[kind hazel]

Not worth then 😭

[eternal fossil]

Kk that’s actually a good idea

[drifting shore]

If u never touched lc then every oa is not worth for u💀

[drifting shore]

but u can always go on sketchy sites to see what other ppl got on their oa

[kind hazel]

True that

I just didnt think they gonna send lc OA on a first year student

Gotta start lc some times

[sullen crater]

Just try it anyways. Sometimes they’re lenient. You’ve got nothing to lose

[kind hazel]

Yeye I was thinking abt studying it

Will try anw

[drifting shore]

go find problems that others got and memorize the solution(

[kind hazel]

Mhmm at that point copy paste would do better :))

[drifting shore]

the website could detect that

get on the leetcode grind cuz many first years are already grinding

[kind hazel]

With the current job market lowkey thats the only way lol

[vivid fiber]

jus cuz ur a 1st yr who grinds dont mean most do

jeez u'v dun mor lc dan me 😭

[drifting shore]

most don't but i know some that are super cracked in high school

[vivid fiber]

tbh no one at my hs knew wat lc was lol

but i went to hs yrs ago so mayb tings changd

[drifting shore]

yes, the grind is real rn, i saw 10 active users from my hs on dmoj

[vivid fiber]

goddamn

mayb ur hs is jus crakd

[drifting shore]

could be higher than the average in the country but my hs is not as gud as most other schools in the area( in terms of contest ranking and # of ppl that go to waterloo

[tight gale]

Hi

[analog current]

Hi

[steel escarp]

damn i remember when i was in hs i just skipped classes and played games w my friends

👀

[tight gale]

Same

I almost didnt graduate because I skipped so many classes

[steel escarp]

i only play league

🤣

since season 3

[high tapir]

Did anyone do the CIBC OA

there was an incorrect test case

[eternal fossil]

High school now is just sad and doesn’t sound fun

You need 90+ average for any decent school as well as extra curricular 4 clubs and what not

I got into uoft cs program with a 77% avg lol

And all I did was loaft

Made most of my memories in hs, I feel bad for kids in hs now because they can’t enjoy the way most of us have

[oblique crater]

people were grinding in my hs

yeah all over the world

didnt do hs in canada btw

the best got into stanford iirc

generally speaking though, canadian universities are starting to get more competitive

[kind hazel]

shit is competitive af, uw uoft and mcgill

the US just seems like lottery lol

[oblique crater]

that's eventually how it's gonna be here, I mean UW is like that to an extent

there are kids with 95+ averages and coding experience getting rejected from UW nowadays

[kind hazel]

imo the celling is too low

they gotta make hs harder

[oblique crater]

did you see the 6th grade math results in Ontario

almost half are failing 6th grade maths

[kind hazel]

tbf kids are also getting dumber :))))

[oblique crater]

that's not really true but the ways kids are thinking is completely changing because of social media

[kind hazel]

idk with the mean of admission being in the 95+ avg, the celling seems to be low

got in but didnt go

[oblique crater]

no there's only so many students these universities can accommodate and there are tens of thousands of applicants from all over the world

[eternal fossil]

I agree

[oblique crater]

attention span is at an all time low

[kind hazel]

im speaking only ontario applicant, getting in any top school as an intl student around the world feels too much like lottery

[oblique crater]

yeah averages were also really inflated the last 3 years

[kind hazel]

it really shows, the uw se 26 cohort got historically low avg in multiple classes iirc

[oblique crater]

same here, engineering cohort got a 0.9 GPA average on calc 1

[kind hazel]

wtf

[oblique crater]

record low

[kind hazel]

okay wait thats insanely low

[oblique crater]

tbf the average has never really gone above 2.3 but 0.9 is insanely low

[lunar sandal]

wtf

0.9 oN CALC 1?

even for an Analysis course instead of regular calc, thats piss low

[kind hazel]

I mean eng department can just be a bitch and then curve it up

still if 2.3 is before curving then .9 is crazy

[oblique crater]

yeah they weed out 1st years hard at our university

in engg*

[lunar sandal]

they do that at uoft too

but GoD DAMN

[kind hazel]

fck eng

literally making everyone's life harder for no reason

[untold geode]

Bruh why is it so FUCKED now

I've sent out god knows how many apps

but not one has gotten back to me

The one coding sample I did was through a fucking referral from a friend

And even that went belly up 💀

[lunar sandal]

[lunar sandal]

i think at this point we're just ghosted

[bright thistle]

Bruh this sucks

[drifting shore]

Move on at this point

I was at ottawa this summer

lived near the uni

well not that cheap but $8-$9 doable

like i think in ottawa i spent like 15ish for a meal

in vancouver prob 9-10

idk if that makes sense

idk lol

companies started massive laysoff

prob it will get better by the end of next year

[oblique crater]

internships are relatively unaffected since they're pretty cheap for a company

[steel escarp]

it does a bit tho

[oblique crater]

but it's more competitive since small companies aren't hiring many interns

actually idk it might be cap i haven't applied for internships this season

[ruby fossil]

They should jusr do intern levels like
Sde intern 1
Sde intern 2
Sde intern 3
And fire all full times to save money

Ceo intern

[steel escarp]

imagine typing from luxury corp housing EA gives u and get paid $60/hr as an intern 😭😭😭

[ruby fossil]

What wheres that? Florida?

[steel escarp]

[plush rune]

[steel escarp]

[plush rune]

lul

[steel escarp]

[steel escarp]

[steel escarp]

[analog current]

[bright thistle]

My friend got TC 83k last year, not sure about this year

[analog current]

[bright thistle]

I don’t think so

[steel escarp]

sadge they lowballed me just because i'm from a no name school 😭

[oblique crater]

sue them

[lost tangle]

Is there any list of job openings for new grad 2023 Canada??

[eternal fossil]

why are you still interviewing

don't you have circle offer?

genuinely curious

nobody gonna beat that circle offer

[steel escarp]

i'm just afraid of the current econ situation

just expect for the worst

👀

[analog current]

that’s smart brother keep doing that

whens ur circle start date?

[steel escarp]

march

[eternal fossil]

Absolutely smart

Big money like that can be easily hurt

You right

But we need a legend in here with that insane TC that US ppl be getting

You’re our liaison

So I hope you get to keep that TC 🙏🏽

[steel escarp]

oh we were talking about sage

[steel escarp]

Random school in alberta

[wintry linden]

[ruby fossil]

Top 2 school in alberta or top 2 in middle canada

[steel escarp]

[ruby fossil]

Uber founder came from your school so did creator of java

[steel escarp]

[tight gale]

Hi

[echo latch]

https://tenor.com/view/juan-gif-21122849

[azure vortex]

real

[lunar sandal]

its starting to feel like leetcode aint enough

is it worth starting competitive programming

[vivid fiber]

no

[vivid fiber]

leetcode is def enuf

if u can do lc hards you r prob set for 99% of interviews

[oblique crater]

competitive programming will consume you

[lunar sandal]

yeah but i feel retarded

i can barely do mediums rn

[vivid fiber]

if ur strugglin wit meds comp programmin wil be worse...

[lunar sandal]

yeah ik, but im just like its not too late to switch over since im shite at both

im just tryna think long term is it worth it

[vivid fiber]

jus stik to practicin lc

i was in ur posistion once

i strugld wit most medds

u just gotta practice mor

now im abl to pass hard interviws

[lunar sandal]

what was ur practice strategy in general

like was it focused (blind75) or did u just pick random probs

[vivid fiber]

blind75

i did questions multipl times

cuz im dum

i just kept doin qs and related qs until i understood

[lunar sandal]

aiiight

[steel escarp]

i feel ya 😭

[drifting shore]

If your goal is to do mediums comfortably then leetcode is enough

[lunar sandal]

i wanna do FAANG comfortably

[drifting shore]

wish i can be that gud

[ocean trellis]

That takes a lot of perseverance
Huge respect to anyone who can do that.

[vivid fiber]

Leetcode is enuf

I don't wana sound cocky but after only doin Leetcode I am fairly confident I could pass most FAANG interviews

[vivid fiber]

Ur already mor crackd dan me lmao

[vivid fiber]

I had an interview at a company infamous for asking hard dp/graphs. So i just grinded for a month. Essentially put school on pause.

If som1 wer to practice consistently they woud prob b abl to do it without havin to drop their GPA (but obv diff 4 evry1)

[ocean trellis]

That's amazing
I am comfortable at mediums now
Working towards the same for LC hard.

[vivid fiber]

Again it's just practice

[real storm]

how many questions does it take for me to write hard/med graphs consistently

[vivid fiber]

I'm sur you'll get it if u stik wit it

Gl 🙏

[real storm]

or any question on my own consistently

cause im kind of sick of watching neetcode ngl

[vivid fiber]

Depends on the person

[real storm]

like i just wanna be cracked rn im just luke warm

[vivid fiber]

Like for me graph took no time to understand

But 2ptr was tuffer

[real storm]

graph was fine for me at first, then adjacency lists and matrices jumped into the question

[tight gale]

MST, djikstras, tarjans took some time for me to internalize

[real storm]

^^^

[untold geode]

When you write LC mediums, do you go brute force first? Or try to immediately write an optimized soln

[vivid fiber]

I always go for optimal

[drifting shore]

Optimized

[vivid fiber]

Irl and in interviews

But durin interviews I'll verbally explain the unoptimal soln

Then logically bridge it to optimal (if possibl)

[tight gale]

ye i do that too, its like foreplay

[drifting shore]

I have a hard time thinking for a brute force for most problems

[vivid fiber]

Dats fine 2

Imo showin my thot process from unoptimal to optimal makes me look betr

[untold geode]

I usually try to code the brute force and then move into something better

But this is just a recent development in my coding practices

[worldly ridge]

stop

you have a gf

please stop

before u break her heart

[drifting shore]

Always leetcode

[real storm]

almost got my gf to run BS.io with me when it was still up

one more bubble tea and we would been grinding all night

[steel escarp]

I pick rich wife

Then i dont need to work anymore

[tight gale]

smart

[eternal fossil]

just did a short hirevue interview with some programming questions

shit the bed innit

did first one fine

second was a postgresql query question

i remember some sql but couldnt remember some sub query shits or group by crap

goddamn WHAT AN L LOL

i also waited till 2 am to get some peace at home and the moment i start recording my mom wakes up to come outside and ask me questions like BROOOOOOO

im tired boss

[oblique crater]

do i take 70k for an offer rn?

honestly getting desperate and the market is awful

[inland bay]

70k for which company?

[oblique crater]

bank in alberta

[inland bay]

Sign and keep looking

[oblique crater]

great benefits, it’s still a bit negotiable so i’m gonna squeeze them for every extra dollar

[oblique crater]

they want me to start asap basically, if i got something 2 weeks later id have to quit

[inland bay]

Do that

Unless you really want to work in the bank

[oblique crater]

december

[oblique crater]

team seems super chill and graduation is fast approaching i’m international too so don’t really have the luxury of sitting around and waiting for the economy

[inland bay]

Unless you are in the interview loop with other company, I’d say just take and keep applying

[oblique crater]

nah but they sound in the 100k range though

[inland bay]

Tc?

Any options?

[oblique crater]

no clue i’m totally guessing id guess they would offer stocks as a startup

[inland bay]

Ic gotcha

[worldly ridge]

take and renege if better offer

[steel escarp]

Rbc? 🤣

[vivid fiber]

idk the exact number but i'd guess at least 140k tc

[inland bay]

Not bad for Canada

[cinder kraken]

any international mans in canada who's not in coop and knows about the Visa process?

PGWP and PR

I see what year are u in?

your grad is 2025 im assuming?

also do u know if we can apply for PNP and Express Entry together?

[worn moss]

any1 interview for blackberry ml

[cinder kraken]

3rd as well

grad: 2024

technically we can apply for PNP even now, no?

ye my bad

PNP

coop and internships don't count?

If i have non-coop internship experience

that doesnt count?

how about part-time employee non-internship/non-coop

does that count?

like?

also @weak gazelle what will u be applying for?

Is this new?

coz i asked my uni international student advisor

he said there are only two ways

ffs

guelph

nah i have asked him a lot of times

i see

can i apply to this straight out of uni?

yeah

I am confused if i can apply for all of em

or only one of them

[lunar sandal]

INTERNSHIP DOESNT COUNT?

[lucid berry]

for intern?

[echo latch]

No

If it’s for coop it doesn’t count

[drowsy sierra]

Guys have you heard about Amazon hiring freeze till end of the year in canada?

I am worried about my offer now. Will it be rescinded? 😅

[eternal fossil]

anything goes now buddy

companies have no reason to not turn around and rescind offers

but nonetheless, keep looking elsewhere

[drowsy sierra]

Ft

I’ll be joining in march

Although there’s no confirmation of Amazon firing employees but they have stopped interviewing candidates

[broken whale]

Anyone here interviewed with Unity?

[rotund meteor]

in the same boat as you, have a internship at amazon that I'm worried about

really hoping they have enough money in the bank to not resort to rescinding offers

would be pretty sad, but will prob just end up extending current co-op or finding another internship

if not just go do summer school to give myself more time for full time job search during the school year

yep

I start in may

ahah yea lets see, i also doubt it as well

yea that makes sense

they prob just dont want to over hire

and arent really in a desperate situation

rescinding intern offer would be when they really desperate

true true

[vivid fiber]

Never

I aint no simp 😤

[untold geode]

Nah bruh

Only resume

Yo pls someone help me land a job man

[tight gale]

never

[untold geode]

At this rate even McDons won't hire me

[tight gale]

even if they need it

[eternal fossil]

we'll get there pal

reach out to recruiters on linkedin

[untold geode]

Aint it awkward hitting up someone random?

Like how do you break the ice

[eternal fossil]

absolutely not

no need to break the ice

if theyre hiring and it says that in their bio

straight up be like hey i saw that youre hiring for ___ could we speak about that role in detail to see if it could be a mutual fit?

boom

[gloomy nymph]

I am. A running simp

[vivid fiber]

Dats fine

[untold geode]

Ayo, this right here is experience talking

Thanks, Imma try it

[eternal fossil]

thats the only way

when most applications are getting 200+ applications

you gotta try a different way

its work

to sift thru linkedin

and your work-reward ratio is minimal

but its something

[placid dawn]

i thought about it happening ngl xd

like my dumb friend getting into amazon rng

[lunar sandal]

someone.

anyone.

i request a referral out of the goodness of your pure heart 😦

[drifting shore]

[vivid fiber]

Gn

I am goin 2 sleep

I hav fuckd my sleep sched

[cinder kraken]

Is it for internship?

[cinder kraken]

If it’s not for coop, it still doesn’t count right?

[elder hamlet]

nothing counts while you are in school, after you graduate, any paid internship / full time job (that you do after you graduate) counts for work experience to apply for PR

[echo latch]

I think if it’s not for coop, and it’s not in Canada then it might count?

Anyways just ask an immigration lawyer

[potent pelican]

Should I accept 85k for remote fintech new grad swe, 0yoe + (8 months swe internship), non-cs/swe quantitative degree

[placid dawn]

the answer is always yes

[untold nebula]

What's holding you back from accepting?

[potent pelican]

Greed, I want more money lol

You can always accept, then reneg

clearance stuff is usually aerospace/military stuff etc

and those usually require citizenship

actually always requires citizenship

uhh okay usually maybe not always idk

[worldly ridge]

Guys

It is time

to join the GO workers and CUPE workers, unionize your workplace and strike so we don't get 🥜 CAD salary 😈 😈

First they came for the CUPE workers, and I did not speak out—because I was not a CUPE worker.

Then they came for the GO workers and I did not speak out—because I was not a GO worker.

Then they came for the construction workers, and I did not speak out—because I was not a construction worker.

Then they came for me—and there was no one left to speak for me

[magic perch]

Has anyone gotten OA for Amzn 2023 new grad for Canada

[steel escarp]

wtf 🤣 they re-interview u again?

[ocean trellis]

Not yet
Did you get it?

[eternal fossil]

Yeah because they asked very specific ML/AI questions which I wasn’t ready for because I thought the call was supposed to be very lax get to know type ordeal

[eternal fossil]

Just with one of the senior managers for his team

[steel escarp]

[eternal fossil]

Absolutely not

[untold nebula]

was it a ml role?

[marsh mango]

anyone applied to amazon canada in the past few weeks receive an oa?

[eternal fossil]

yes

technically i was to get to know which role I'd be best suited for

but the two women senior managers steered it solely for their teams and then were condescending

bell

not really LOL

[glossy condor]

wow
i just got a second round interview... a month after i did the first round
they want to schedule for tomorrow, within less than 24 hours of sending the email.

i already secured my 8 month internship...

[eternal fossil]

from where?

[glossy condor]

general dyamics missions systems

the one i secured the internship for, process in total took 2-3 weeks. For this one, it's been more than a month since i interviewed

i did an interview with another company on the same day i did the general dynamics one, and got an offer in less than 3 days (i delayed the phone call to accept the offer so i could accept my current one instead)

I'm surprised I'm still getting emails for interviews months after I've applied

[eternal fossil]

yeah thats stupid af

stupid long

yeah, ill have to go through this one other interview and see how he likes me

thanks but its still fuck bell rn
