[ocean trellis]

Thank you !
Pay is not FANG level.
Base 87k
Sign on 7.5k
Bonus 5%
10% RRSP, TFSA match

So total TC for year 1 is around 107K

[south comet]

Thx!! At least sounds good in Vancouver!

has cisco frozen hiring?

[worldly ridge]

[lucid berry]

Every day I imagine Cisco getting back to me after OA

[worldly ridge]

[analog current]

i didnt do OA and got an interview

[fickle lotus]

built diff

[analog current]

hi

questions

imma start a co op soon, and i didn’t and dont want to register it with my co op office because they wont let me take more than a course, and i wanna take 3 so i can do a fall co op without delaying my graduation. i talked to my recruiter about it and she said that from the company’s end, they only require it if my school requires it. id assume my school requires it but fuck them. what im afraid of tho is HR contacting my co op office to tell them, and then i have to go through a whole questioning process and they might unenrol me from my courses

has anyone had a similar experience? the company is RBC id assume they wont be too hungry for peanuts worth of tax returns

[analog current]

schools require u to report if u get a co op

i didnt get it thru the school co op job board

alr hopefully they dont fuck me over

fuck em

cheap ass mfs

grateful for the good profs tho

[analog current]

i did so bad on the cisco OA rip

i couldnt figure out the last q Sadge

[timid tartan]

It's surprising that RBC does not require co-op

[dense blaze]

do you know what the next steps are after cisco OA?

I think there's like one more interview, but do uk if there's anymore after that?

[lucid berry]

No, completely ghosted after OA

if it's a front end postion, be prepared to know primitive javascript concepts like prototypes

[dense blaze]

oh shit ty, yes its a front end position mainly angular

if you don't mind, do you have tips on what I should study? Probably not DSA?

[worldly ridge]

@dense blaze 1st intrrview was very specific js questions that u need to prep beforehand, like what happrns to this VAR variable, old js syntax, etc. Not sure abt 2nd interview since I accepted an offer i like n withdrew my application lmao

[dense blaze]

aii lol ty sm!

[worldly ridge]

goodluck!

ive heard Cisco meraki pays more, maybe try that too

or ask for a transfer 😂

[steel escarp]

bruh while cisco in calgary ask 2 sum then offer

70k is avg

yes and yes

yee ive heard they pay rlly well, this ones like 8k signing bonus and 30$hr but i think meraki is like 50+

fingers crossed thats goal for next season

[steel escarp]

i think meraki only has us internship?

there's a huge gap in term of pays between meraki vs cisco internship tho lol

[dense blaze]

yea thats what I was thinking meraki is US only

[worldly ridge]

also @dense blaze is this for NG?

or intern?

sorry forgot to mention that mine was for ng

[analog current]

if this was for intern, do u mind if i dm? i have an interview coming up with cisco

@worldly ridge @analog current this is for intern

this looks so nice

how get house

[fickle juniper]

Wow that’s crazy cuz that’s my house

[fickle juniper]

(Also practicing for the future)

[azure vortex]

buying a home in vancouver

ok mr bezos

[tight gale]

My dream is to be able to finally buy a house

So I can rent it out

[worldly ridge]

the canadian dream - own multiple houses with HELOC and rent them all out while you house hack with your renters

[steel escarp]

I dont see how u can use house hack in canada

Doesnt the government tax u if u have more than 1 house ot sthing?

[worldly ridge]

how so?

[worldly ridge]

not sure, too broke to encountered this issue

[steel escarp]

Idk the math doesnt seem to click for me

[worldly ridge]

like being cash flow negative?

[steel escarp]

Ye

[worldly ridge]

yeah you are indeed right, a lot of people are cash flow negative due to rental costs being stopped from rent control

[steel escarp]

Like if u only count the interest then ye it can pay the interest but if we talk about the whole downpayment then 👀

[worldly ridge]

it also depends on how much on yourr downpay, but if you downpay 20% like a good amount of people, expect it to be cash flow negative

i remember i did calculations on how much cash flow ill get if i downpay 20% on a 450k toronto condo with current rates; i remeber losign ~15k or sometin still even with a tenant

[steel escarp]

I think for 500k house with 15% down u gotta pay 2.5k a month

Assuming ur house has 3 bedrooms then i can rent out the other 2

So u gotta get at least 1250 each room to pay that off

[worldly ridge]

yeah now is the worst case to buy a house

high rates, high prices :l

[steel escarp]

Yee 😭

[worldly ridge]

stop @analog current

[steel escarp]

Only rich people like @tight gale can afford to buy houses at this time

[worldly ridge]

Alternatiely though,,,you can move tto the US under TN and just get a mortgage there

you can probably find somethign very affordable compared to Tor/vanc in chiraq, seattle or austin

[steel escarp]

Thats the plan after pr then citizenship

gl

[jaunty crystal]

can't you revoke ur citizenship/green card later if u wanna stop paying us taxes?

[placid dawn]

not that ez

[worldly ridge]

oh like you get double taxed?

[jaunty crystal]

not double taxed. Ur just paying max(cra, irs) tax

u get a tax credit

if u stay in canada usually cra has a higher tax rate

[worldly ridge]

what tax though? for ur roth/tfsa and ur rrsp/ira?

income tax?

[jaunty crystal]

income tax

[worldly ridge]

isnt that why people declare non residency?

[jaunty crystal]

if ur a tax resident of the us the irs will tax ur tsfa

rrsp is tax sheltered

[worldly ridge]

yaa

im talking about income tax

[jaunty crystal]

Sorry yeah I was was speaking in terms of if u moved to the states

[worldly ridge]

like if i make money in the US

[jaunty crystal]

ur canadian income will still get taxed by the irs

but cra wont tax ur us income if u become a non tax resident of canada

[worldly ridge]

this does not hold true if u go back to canada n become a resident again right

[jaunty crystal]

yeah if u dont become us citizen/green card u gucci once u move back to canada

[worldly ridge]

oh so if we become a gc/citizen of the US then go back to canada, we will get maxed taxed by cra + irs . but our us income will not be taxed by cad?

[jaunty crystal]

I believe so even if ur not a us resident

[worldly ridge]

💀

wow that is good to know

makes it harder to migrate i guess

[jaunty crystal]

yeah lol do a fact check tho I might be incorrect

[worldly ridge]

will do, thanks for sharing, nice to have in the back of my mind

[jaunty crystal]

I still want the us green card anyway

[worldly ridge]

[jaunty crystal]

easier to work in the us

[worldly ridge]

true yeah, will make QOL so much better during our working years

[jaunty crystal]

yup

or else I can only work for big tech

and apparently some companies treat visa ppl like slaves

bc they know they need employment to stay in the us

[worldly ridge]

not neccecarily, a lot of medium sized companies still do TN visa sponsorship since its easy from what i ws told

[jaunty crystal]

ok thats good to know

[worldly ridge]

thats why a lot of swes migrate to us

[worldly ridge]

elon

[jaunty crystal]

oh btw say u have property in canada

and ur working in the us

the irs will tax u when u sell ur property in CANADA

[worldly ridge]

the CRA will also tax 25% of ur rental income

🥶

[jaunty crystal]

I believe thats just withholding tax right

then calculate ur real tax at the end and give u a tax return if its less

[worldly ridge]

yess

honestly im planing to just buy a home in the us, work therre long term, see where life takes me

suucks though if we get get laid off we have to go back to canada if we cannot find a job within the timeframe

[jaunty crystal]

yup thats what happened with me with the meta layoff

I didnt want the greencard/citizenship before cuz of tax reasons

but tbh having a sense of a security in where u live is worth

[worldly ridge]

sorry to hear that 😦

did you also file a I-539 form?

im not sure if you are aware, but ive read around that people paparently use that to extend their stay after 60 days r up

I have kept applying for 23 summer internship since September. But I only got one interview.

This is a really tough time for us to get an internship.

Bruh what do u have on ur resume to pass gg screen

I heard from a Google intern that people with work experience is more possible to pass the resume screen.

And I have worked as a full-time SDE in a Chinese IT corp. Maybe that work experience works.

[steel escarp]

Ahhhh ik a person who got interviews with gg for 23

He has cb and circle on his resume

Google Canada or US?

I checked the policy and found out universities in Alberta no longer has this tax rebate stuff. That sucks

I have no idea about the situation in other provinces

I think anyone with cb and circle experience can pass any company's resume screen.😂 At first, I'm afraid since my work experience was in China.

which requires you to be a pr or citizen

[fickle juniper]

it can almost certainly do your hw

[vivid fiber]

Imo it's not much better than copilot

Like it still gets a lot wrong

It's also not that new of a concept considering Ghostwriter and Copiloit exist

[fickle juniper]

it's not just for coding or copywriting, not to mention it's completely free and open

you should check out codex if you're thinking about coding

imo chatgpt is 5-10x copilot

copilot won't refactor your code for you

or find security vulnerabilities

or write the app and explain eloquently what you did

yes chatgpt does get stuff wrong

so you have to fact-check

not to mention this is using an outdated model (gpt3), and gpt4 is supposed to come out early next yr

we're only at the beginning folks

[real storm]

any canadians hear back from ebay

[distant gazelle]

reject

[ocean trellis]

When?

[distant gazelle]

2 weeks ago

[real storm]

damn bro sorry to hear that

you mind me asking how long after oa

[distant gazelle]

oh didnt even receive an oa, went straight to resume bin after a day

[sour bison]

I shared my OA score about 2-3 weeks ago and still nothing

Anyone here do Cisco intern interview for Ottawa?

[magic perch]

internship availability is still pretty good...new grad positions in Canada on the other hand

[upper linden]

what score did u get?

[sour bison]

812

[upper linden]

bruh

thats pretty good

[sour bison]

Idk if they started interviewing people yet

Yup I mean it's alright people prob have 830+

[uncut hornet]

I think I saw some people who were ng had interviews not sure about intern tho

I'm also intern but ghost after oa

[vivid fiber]

Yeah ng is fucked

I have hope for better availability in Jan

Companies should hopefully have a better idea about headcount then

[magic perch]

6x intern, 2x faang cant even get banks to give me a response 😢

[distant gazelle]

wait are u fr ?

[magic perch]

unfortunately so

^that's not to say that this should demotivate others, i have friends who have 0 internships with offers so.

[distant gazelle]

yeah ive been applying for any ng or any internship from mid size / boomer companies that will take a recent graduate no luck

only luck i had this year was getting a 1x30 at zon but now they are completely frozen 😦

[magic perch]

ngl I genuinely dont know if there's a formula for 'success' in the Canadian tech space (which already is limited)

Hiring in tech in Canada just feels suuperr random

So much of it is just word of mouth, people know other people etc

[distant gazelle]

yeah i agree or even just luck

my first internship i failed the coding question but they still gave me the job

[nocturne flame]

my return offer has been up in the air for about 6 months now lol

canadian tech scene really do be messed up

[fickle juniper]

Someone ik has applied to 1k jobs and the only offer so far is non-swe

[nocturne flame]

it's rough out there, though canada does open up during jan feb

[distant gazelle]

source or just cope

[barren sinew]

Have you tried pinging recruiters? I didnt do any FAANG internships but I was very briefly a FAANG new grad before getting laid off. Recruiters and LinkedIn have been very useful

I'm also looking in the states so that might make it different

[magic perch]

I have yep, most don't respond on LinkedIn. I think I might try more cold-emailing I suppose.

[barren sinew]

No one has responded to my cold emails (although I haven't sent out enough to make a conclusion on that). I have had luck in pinging recruiters and more so, pinging hiring managers

[magic perch]

interesting, yep I see these "im hiring new grads" posts on LinkedIn and I msg them and never hear back haha

[barren sinew]

Also from my experience it seems like even companies that are planning new grad roles, are waiting for the new year before opening them.

[barren sinew]

So much of job hunting is luck. It only takes one, so keep ypur chin up

[magic perch]

Im also in school rn, so like job hunting isn't my fulltime job rn, so unfortunately there's only a certain amount of time I can dedicate to it per day and not fail my classes haha

[barren sinew]

Or at least thats what I tell myself 😂. Im giving advice to achieve something I dont yet possess

[barren sinew]

Makes sense. Plenty of time. I was very casually applying to jobs before grad too. I think thats normal

[magic perch]

dm'ed you if that's okay?

[barren sinew]

Sure

[fickle lotus]

pure hopium

[untold nebula]

Ye what's up

[eternal fossil]

gonna be a tough december

[uncut hornet]

I wonder if ebay will defer my us app to the canadian one automatically

[drifting shore]

😭applied to the eBay us app when it came out, now I can’t apply to the ca one

[real storm]

I wonder if ebay will send me a mf interview

[old ferry]

You can brute force 1, 2, and 3. Q4 requires optimization.

DP is super rare for GCA, I don't think I've ever seen it

[lunar sandal]

Really ? Mine was like word for word with a variation the same problem

Thing is I had no idea how to brute force it except for using greedy

And greedy would give me the wrong answer

[worldly ridge]

Is the market this bad rn

[lunar sandal]

So huge L I guess

[placid dawn]

mightve just gotten anoda offer

[distant gazelle]

[old ferry]

Background checks are typically just looking for criminal offenses. For more in depth checks, they ask for paystubs of previous employers or an HR contact number so that they can confirm your employment. Not sure how a company would appear in a background check if you haven't even begun working lol

[fickle juniper]

No

In fact, they wouldn’t even know to check that company you’re reneging

[lucid berry]

You’ll be fine I think

like imo, it is horrible without the student life aspect

[hollow frigate]

LMAO

i kinda can say my location preference between kw or montreal

[worldly ridge]

im biased angainst waterloo, i would pick montreal based on my vacation expereinces LMAO

[hollow frigate]

LMAOOOOOOOOOO

[worldly ridge]

[hollow frigate]

yaaaa

HMMM

so do u think, u won't get a lotta chance to hang out with ur coworkers in kw then?

[frozen brook]

currently in montreal atm, but i like BC atmosphere

probably cause i like nature and dislike cities

[hollow frigate]

how u feel about montreal :0

LMAO

[frozen brook]

uhh, its pretty calm i'd say. stuff is expensive (food specifically) but i am downtown

rent is cheaper than other major cities tho

[hollow frigate]

probably not as cheap as KW

[worldly ridge]

err, unless u guys have specific intertsests itd be hard to do anything fun after work besides food i guess

[frozen brook]

i don't consider kitchener a major city tho lol

[hollow frigate]

LMAOOOO

[worldly ridge]

KW rent is ~700/750

[hollow frigate]

do u happen to know montreal?

[worldly ridge]

asides from vacation expereience no 😦

[hollow frigate]

LMAO

[frozen brook]

montreal rent is like.. 1.2k for a studio near mcgill, but if you go around its like

[hollow frigate]

Is not knowing french an issue in montreal? @frozen brook

[frozen brook]

1k or less

uh, if you don't leave the mcgill or concordia sphere, its fine

[hollow frigate]

:0

DAMN

[frozen brook]

[hollow frigate]

[frozen brook]

i worked (intern) for 8 months last year for a BC company while in MTL, and uhh didn't really go out much

LMAO

[frozen brook]
