nothing on glassdoor for that role ?

[potent hornet]

alot of questions on there are pretty old, i am also new to glassdoor so is there a certain place i can find interview questions

[eternal fossil]

someone who already has that role

and just ask them hey im thinking of applying at this position what type of knowledge should i have

what type of questions am i going to be asked

[potent hornet]

they didn't say jack

Someone joined in the last 5 min

It seems really disorganized

They also asked some random oop trivia

[graceful oyster]

ah damn ok

[graceful oyster]

yeaa my impression of CIBC is that they arent very focused on their devs and hiring them, even compared to other banks

[ashen mason]

would you move from Vancouver to TO for 180k TC? About a 20% bump

[steel escarp]

i would 👀

[fickle lotus]

20%? If friends and family are in Van, then no imo

[vivid fiber]

What do you value?

• Family and friend in Van? -> stay in vancouver
• Money/career progression -> move to Toronto

A 20% bump is pretty good, esp if its a company/role you want imo

The col diff is abt 5%

[steel escarp]

doesn't toronto have winter as well 👀

[vivid fiber]

afaik

[steel escarp]

i hate winter

[vivid fiber]

[brave wasp]

Hi guys I have two questions for my fellow Canadians:

With the current recession emanating, should I be applying to internships and new grad roles? Or only new grad roles? I'm graduating next Aug with a MSc. in CS with experience as follows:

1. 8-month IT Analyst Co-op at large financial company
2. 16-month Research Assistant at my University
3. 4-month Computer Systems Technician at local IT company
4. 8-month Software Engineer Co-op at large marketing company
5. 2+ years of being a Graduate Teaching Assistant at my University

I know it sounds ridiculous but I only have 8 months of actual Software Engineer experience at my most recent Co-op and wondering if I will need more?

My second question is if anyone is actively applying to remote jobs in the US for new grads. How does the process look for you?

[steel escarp]

why not apply for both?

and see which one is better

[tight gale]

Do google employees get a free pixel?

Dont know if its worth getting one rn when G will give me an offer next year

[steel escarp]

Only if google gives u an offer 🤣

Jk

Is g pixel that good? Never used it b4

He already passed interviews lool only waiting for tm

Offer will come soon

[tight gale]

[steel escarp]

Zon rescinded offer?

Wtf

[worn moss]

bro

im acc

done

with life

bro like

y would a recruiter make a role sound sexy af

and make u send perfect for it

and have a good convo

just to bring up technical questions out of nowhere

[steel escarp]

Which company loool

[worn moss]

cruise

BRO

I GOT BLUE BALLED SO HARDDDD

[steel escarp]

Loool

Recruiter?

How do recruiters ask technical

[worn moss]

HES LIKE UR RESUME IS PERFECT FOR THE ROLE AND WE USSUALLY ONLY HIRE MASTERS AND PHD STUDENTS WITH THE EXCEPTION OF A 1-2 undergrads a year AND THEN BRO THE RECRUITER OVER THE PHONE FUCKING BRINGS UP TECHNICAL QUESTION

and im just done for

like just straight up on the ground fumbling

bro

listen

he asks

"how would u explain diffie hellman to a person with no technical experience"

i did fine on this

[steel escarp]

Lool

[worn moss]

then bro asks me how u would go about improving it

and im just lost

and then i start talking about if u we're to improve a cryptographic encryption

then u would try to make it not prone to common attacks

[steel escarp]

🤣

[worn moss]

this is where i legitamely fuck up

[steel escarp]

I would fail

[worn moss]

he asks me what type of attacks, can u give examples

AND BRO FOR SOME REASON

FOR SOME ODD REASON

MY DUMBASS COULDNT THINK OF MITM

EVEN THOUGH I USED IT SOLVE LIKE 50+ problems on ctfs

so in the end

im just a dumbass

and fucked up my chances

for a role i really wanted

bro what something better

i wish

my dumbass fumbling an interview like that and failing first year calc

has no chance

i had the perfect insane opportunity in my hand

and just fumbled

@weak gazelle

[ashen mason]

What even is a non tech role? If they really are non tech then salary prob garbage what's the point

Even PMs are tech

[uncut hornet]

does ux/ui fall under tech

[ashen mason]

It's more design isn't it? Tech should be anything under IT

But idk it might be more tech at an actual tech company

[uncut hornet]

yeah regardless I think there's a lot of great career choices outside of tech

businesses have a lot of roles in order to function

also tech as a career choice doesn't seem as stable as it once was like 4 years ago

[oblique crater]

but a non tech role is? every job working a company is unstable

[uncut hornet]

some business roles are probably more stable than tech roles

also it is true that every job is unstable to a certain degree but it's fair to talk about relative stability i think

[oblique crater]

relatively speaking, tech roles are much more stable historically

we are going through a rough patch there's no doubt about that

[drifting shore]

U applied the the us role before

[eternal fossil]

[steel escarp]

For amazon?

I think amazon is still hiring for some crucial position

Maybe aws

U can try to ask him to sneak u in

Ur applying for ng?

[drifting shore]

Doing all 4 problems yields 840+

Bruh, I submitted the last problem in the last 5min and got 840

its the first codesignal i did so i just assumed that i aced it cuz i got a easier set

[eternal fossil]

youre a god bro

[drifting shore]

Wish I’m half as good at actual programming

It does not work

Already deceiving my self to feel like im doing work when I’m solving shit lc problems

[eternal fossil]

[woeful mirage]

Is the score measured by both correct answers and the efficiency of your codes?

[oblique crater]

i think it’s correctness and time taken

[vivid fiber]

839 is enough lol

shoud b mor dan enuf 2 get 2 any resume screen

ok

who cares abt som rando on linkedin tho

displayin ur codesignal scor is cringe imo

all dat matters 4 codesignal is u get 2 da nex stage

if u wanna show off ur comp programmin skills show ur dmoj rankin or smth

also kinda weird

its ok if ur takin it

otherwise its just braggin

ive seen ppl say shit like: "i get x,y, and z offers"

cringe

just say wat ur takin

even his yt banner is cringe

man is braggin abt his offers

actually i guess its for da yt grind

so i get dat

[real storm]

yo how much lc do you have

cause im having trouble consistently getting above 800

i've literally done it once and im thinking its cause of my lack of skillz

ah true, you review questions or naw

i did the burner square one just now and got bytes

or something like that, given a list of intervals, check which bytes are taken up and add them to the resulting list

what's the solution for that one

ah true gotcha

do you have segmented tree questions

cause ngl i have never heard of that

yeah i was doing some shit where each interval was checked against a set that stored the intervls then updated the intervals each time we had a larger interval or something like that

it was mad fucky lol

[small vessel]

ngl kinda upset at my 840 gca i dont think i stand a chance still

[real storm]

tell me the secret guys

tell me the OA secret

[echo latch]

ngl kinda upset at my 861 gca i dont think i stand a chance still

[small vessel]

never feel the warmth of a woman

[plush elk]

Bro my 950 GCA is so shit

I’m never gonna get anything

[vivid fiber]

GCA is jus 2 get 2 resume screen

U hav a strong resume

So u got a good chance

[real storm]

YES

[vivid fiber]

Gl 😃👍

[real storm]

but instead you just not account for the newly added bytes added to a taken up section on the number line

i just ended up removing it from the set each time and adding it to the set again

but then my set ended up not including all the other intervals idk lol

[drifting shore]

Go cry and grind codeforces, u will get that 1000+gca soon

[topaz linden]

Can’t even retake Cus my 725 score is from last weekend when I was doing it for jokes 🤣

Gonna send that score in let’s see how it goes

For ebay^

[honest perch]

Hi did anyone do the bell leadership program ? I wanted to know how much i can expect for the base salary ? Also i have a masters degree and have a few months of work experience (no internship) can i ask for more than the average salary for that position ?

[elder kestrel]

I have the technical assessment for Bell's AI & Data Engineering Co-op program coming up, does someone know what to expect? I only know it's powered by hackerrank

[elder kestrel]

I'm curious have you done their technical assessment yet?

[honest perch]

i didnt have a technical assessment, just a 3 hours group interview with small technical assessment

[woeful mirage]

oh... so finishing within the given time frame is not enough...

[drifting shore]

Passing every test case is enough

[midnight vector]

what is the avg base salary?

[honest perch]

from what i saw on glassdoor it's 70k

but I saw someone mentionned that the range goes from 70 to 80k and also u can have a bit higher if you have a graduate degree than an undergrad

i just wanted to know if that is true and know how much i can ask if i get an offer

[placid dawn]

does recession mean its a better time to do a Masters

[woeful mirage]

Do you really want to do a masters or just for the sake of recession? I think if you can enter a decent master's program you are capable to get a junior job... I don't think the job market right now is that bad.

[placid dawn]

im kinda indifferent tbh. ive 2 internships and possibly a grad offer. but the boss is flexible and could let me get a masters if I wanted

idk how hard it would be tho

[woeful mirage]

So in this case you can apply to grad schools first and decide when you get an offer.

[oblique crater]

return offer from internship or VP dad

[lunar sandal]

guys

any github repos with remote internships in the us

[placid dawn]

yesir

[oblique crater]

a research based masters degree is a lot of hard work you need to like what you’re doing to tolerate it

[placid dawn]

damn my gpa so low im barely graduating

not the best student type

[oblique crater]

well you can’t just stumble into a masters lol

the deadline to apply is almost up and you need 3.5+ and recommendation letters

[woeful mirage]

If your gpa is low, you don't have many choices.

[lunar sandal]

leak the ebay oa lads

any DP on there 😦

[midnight vector]

ebay oa felt like a 100m sprint

4 questions 70 minutes code signal

crazy

[woeful mirage]

Do you need to apply first to do the oa?

[lunar sandal]

feels like square oa

[woeful mirage]

You can boost your gpa by taking more courses, but you really need to ask yourself if the extra efforts and the 2-year of study are worth it. I am not passionate for any subject so I didn't apply for masters.

I wasn't offended lol.

I say that because some of my classmates enter master's programs and they read a lot on some topics in their spare time. I don't bother joining their discussion so I feel that a research-based program is too much for me

[woeful mirage]

5+ years of experience for an internship lool.

[lucid berry]

Lmaooo

[normal jetty]

They copy pasted it

From their full time posting

[woeful mirage]

ya I noticed that

[graceful oyster]

hey lol did you do the binance technical interview yet?

I have mine tomorrow

[placid dawn]

ghosted by binance

i was one of their first 10k users😢

[graceful oyster]

F :/

i really need to intern for alameda research tho 😩

[eternal fossil]

theyre smoking crack

i hate companies who put "entry level" in their job title and then when you scroll down its like minimum 3 yoe

i also bit the bullet and applied to some positions at my last coop lol (blackberry)

and they reached out

now i got an hour technical tomorrow

when i dont remember my C and OS that well anymore

[oak horizon]

anyone done the hirevue for goldman toronto? what was your timeline?

[eternal fossil]

wait you worked at blackberry before ?

thats true

yeah ive had monthly performance reviews

for 4 months

all documented

yeah

except for the last one which was OK

first 3 were goated

i started loafting in the last month

i just hope its remote

i emailed them to see if its remote

i dont wanna commute to waterloo every damn day

interior where

having a gf really limits your possibilities to move

because long distance almost always tanks a relationship

yeah kelowna hella far damn

[oblique crater]

yeah most local scenes are like that

small company with lots of nepotism, peanuts in pay but high stability

[eternal fossil]

thats pretty good

you have a way out

hardest working couple in kelowna

evade taxes brother

[storm stream]

that's lit bro

[oblique crater]

0% i think

[old ferry]

which company?

I know brex allows full remote in all of Canada with no COL adjustments

[oblique crater]

the reserve in kelowna is not bad ive heard but most other places it’s sadly not very enjoyable to live there

[eternal fossil]

can i evade taxes if i get a girl from the reserve? /s

so i gotta be a contractor and have my reserve gf get incorporated so i work through that and collect fat stacks ok ok ok copy

gonna go hang outside a reserve /s

but no in all honesty i hope you get the pay you deserve brother

[storm stream]

I've spent a lot of time in a few reserves in Alberta and sadly it just ain't it...

Needs lots of work still but no govt cares enough to invest properly

[oblique crater]

yeah the ones up north don’t sound too pleasant

[storm stream]

The ones outside of Calgary are nicer but still rough

[real storm]

wait theres a reserve accross from stanley park?

in north van?

like towards the suspension bridges im guessing?

[echo latch]

gm

[storm stream]

Assuming somewhat stable reserve politics, which isn't always the case 😦

[storm stream]

excited to return to Zon?

[echo latch]

im not returning

unless everything goes terribly wrong

[storm stream]

whyyyy

[echo latch]

Better offers

[storm stream]

🐐

[echo latch]

I’m most likely going to goog this summer

[storm stream]

GOOG last one standing

GOOG toronto?

[echo latch]

Well my preferences were nyc, Bay Area and seattle

[storm stream]

Sir this is the canada channel

[echo latch]

But I did say I’d be willing to work in Waterloo or Toronto if it comes down to that

Most likely gonna be one of those locations tho

[storm stream]

Say hi to Neetcode if you get NYC

[echo latch]

Isn’t he in seattle

[storm stream]

oh

Say hi to Neetcode if you get Seattle

[dawn tusk]

@echo latch how were your technical rounds was it lc eay or medium?

[echo latch]

[dawn tusk]

Mine was lc med/hard

[dawn tusk]

[echo latch]

either med building up to hard

Or hard building up to even harder q

Yeah I got graphs

[oblique crater]

dp and graphs usually

[tight gale]

[echo latch]

I picked all the big tech hubs tho so should be fine

[tight gale]

[eternal fossil]

its basically looking like a no rn

[robust nest]

but downtown ottawa is nice too

[eternal fossil]

i might as well get a job at infosys

theyre hiring at 60k and some change

and its remote i think

well atleast for the first 6 months yeah

[robust nest]

i fuckin hate canadian salaries

[eternal fossil]

theyre honestly atrocious

like down right criminal on how low they can get especially when major companies pull back on hiring

[robust nest]

it's like a big fuck you

[eternal fossil]

yuuuuppp

saying the quiet part out loud

[steel escarp]

60k is livable in toronto

[robust nest]

and it's hard getting a US job with something like BlackBerry

[steel escarp]

but u wont save much

[robust nest]

i tried

[eternal fossil]

damn bro

arent you employed rn

[robust nest]

but if you have waterloo on your resume it doesn't even matter

[robust nest]

yeah but this was a while back

[eternal fossil]

oh right yeah

that makes sense

[robust nest]

and blackberry back then had lots of potential

now it's only the QNX branch that does

[eternal fossil]

yeah

qnx only place

but i hate that its in ottawa

qnx has so much good talent but i doubt they have anybody left now that theyre doing an atrocious in person hybrid model

[steel escarp]

i mean its more like what u do at work than the company

people getting faang and stuff with random startup

[eternal fossil]

qnx work is sooooo much fun

[robust nest]

qnx has it's OS in most cars.. blackberry as a whole just as the audacity

[eternal fossil]

you have so much freedom to try new things

but ceo has his head in his ass

directors and managers are also good

[robust nest]

and his fucking board

[eternal fossil]

people are cracked over there at qnx

[robust nest]

so fucking out of touch with reality

[eternal fossil]

fuck the board

[eternal fossil]
