we’re riddled with microplastics Hepa can’t save you

when did you start doing that?

if you did it from a very young age so basically your parents did then that’s good

its scary that not a lot of people know about PFAS

How hard is it to get an internship w the government as opposed to private sector?

eternal fossil
#

Nah new grad roles

mental monolith
#

thoughts on devops?

#

i applied to a few but didnt think too much about the position itself

#

seems very different from sdev, not sure about career paths and whatnot

vivid fiber
#

If you don't get anything else, a devops job is better than nothing

#

It's SWE adjacent at least

mental monolith
#

oh no i'm going thru the hiring process rn

vivid fiber
#

Nah

#

Well tbh it really depends on the company

mental monolith
#

looking more into devops stuff rn, seems interesting but it's unlike what i've done in my previous SWE stuff

#

i have no idea what the interview/oa/technical is gonna be like

#

so it'll be fun

vivid fiber
#

Place I was at had me write everything from scripts, docker builds, teraform, ci/cd stuff, and some backend dev.

mental monolith
#

it seems like fun to me

#

what about pay? i looked up some companies on top of my head and their starting/median isn't too different from SWE (if at all)

#

ceiling seems to be somewhat lower but that doesn't matter for now

candid oxide
#

sre pay usually same as swe

mental monolith
#

i'll be honest, atm i'm probably more into backend/fullstack stuff, so I'm curious if transitioning between devops to sdev (or vice versa) would be tricky

vivid fiber
#

But you won't be working on a lot of actual code, more like infrastructure and stuff

mental monolith
#

like if this works out, I wonder how hard it would be to go from 1yoe devops to some SDE position

vivid fiber
#

Most of my work was docker builds, ci/cd builds

mental monolith
#

that's probably my only concern

#

concern is a strong word

#

I'm sure there are good pathways for devops

vivid fiber
#

Yeah def good pathaways

#

I'm not sure how hard it is to go to SWE

#

But it's really infra related

mental monolith

#

I want some opinions on this

#

I have a friend who had an interview at a company for a SWE role on a specific team last Friday

#

They ended up ghosting him

#

Today he got a rejection for that role

#

But ended up getting an interview for another SWE role at the same company

#

He booked the availability

#

But should he ask his recruiter whats going on?

turbid island
#

is that very long

vivid fiber
#

They never showed up

turbid island
#

oh

vivid fiber
#

Then they rejected him for the role

#

And now they are asking him to book a new interview

#

hmmm I say interview for the practice but I’m assuming hiring team is just incompetent so don’t expect too much

How long after a final interview should you reach out to the recruiter for a followup?

#

I had final interviews on the 16th. Is it time lmaooo

worldly ridge
steel escarp
#

so its kinda common to have multiple interviews for different team as long as u pass the resume screen or oa

#

👀

vivid fiber
#

Then the recruiter rejected him, and sent him an interview form

steel escarp
#

after they fill the position they will send an email to reject others regardless of them having interviewed or not

#

i remember for my internship interview they told me that they would have couple more interviews the next week but they ended up giving me the offer the next day

#

so that's a possibility 👀

i think average for ibm now is 28-30

hearing intern averages is sad 😢 , and I worked at a couple decently well known companies too

isn’t it the RRSP

one of the two

i don’t think TFSA has a deadline

RRSP space carries over though right?

Ya probably should max tfsa before looking at rrsp

hallow urchin
# wispy estuary

dude wait isn't RRSP deducted from my pay along with CPP and taxes
I'm so confused

#

why would I contribute to it

worldly ridge
#

so it can fund their retriement

#

but u can also put things like GICs if u wanna save up for a downpayment without getting taxed

worldly ridge
#

so for example u can do 100k and get taxed 40k because u made no rrsp coontributions, but u can make 100k and get taxed only 20k becasue u put say 20k into rrsp

#

thats all there is to it in tax sheltered accounts in canada, we will have a new FHSA program for home buyers but it can be used for RRSP room if u dont need a house. coming in april 1 iirc

hallow urchin
#

OMG I'm so dumb

#

I mixed up employment insurance (EI) with RRSP

#

I'm a clown

#

thanks tho yakhuna

#

Do u think interns can do RRSP matching

worldly ridge

According to the wealth simple chart above, I should max my tfsa

why do you need coop program in a master’s degree?

ancient tartan
#

I'm an international student and need the local work experience

#

The Co-op office's interest lies in the school's reputation, while the students' interest lies in finding better internships. I believe there is some conflict between these two interests.

#

Therefore, I am hesitant to communicate this issue directly with them, in case they try to prevent me from declining my RBC offer if they were to find out about it.

dev ops is a different beast

lunar sandal
#

how do u even go into devops

mental monolith
#

i got a referral

lunar sandal
#

i hear stuff abt kubernetes and docker but legit got no fucking idea where to start

mental monolith
#

probably shouldnt say where since the job posting isnt even up yet

#

but it doesnt pay extraordinarily well

#

so i'm hesitant

lunar sandal
#

did u have prev exp?

#

like w projects

mental monolith
#

no i dont

lunar sandal
#

isnt dev just abt containerized apps

mental monolith
#

thats why i was surprised when i got invited for the "casual chat"

lunar sandal
#

just cuz

#

it sounds boring af tho ngl

mental monolith
#

the resume i sent in was literally test automation + frontend + backend in that order

worldly ridge
#

t_t

mental monolith
#

i have no idea why they wanted me in

#

any recs on how to start?

#

i've seen some youtube vids but that's about it

#

and a bit during my last coop

#

link it if you could?

#

if it's not too much it might be worth it

lunar sandal
#

why

mental monolith
#

✨ investment ✨

#

oh yeah

#

went through some linkedin learning stuff

#

it's all very surface level

#

40 isn't bad

#

and i could finally fill out that funny "certification" section

#

haha

#

is this more devops oriented or swe?

#

sorry if stupid question

lunar sandal
#

but this is like

#

IT

#

man

#

fucq

#

which one dou recommend

#

from that link

#

certified dev? or solutions arch

mental monolith
#

i'm guessing this one?

#

yeah same question as fiend

#

i'll just take it, i don't have much to do rn

#

further education :DD

#

i should check if i have aws credits from ubc

#

gotcha, ty

#

cc @lunar sandal

#

given that i have literally nothing to do rn i could probably attempt the dev one

#

alright

#

thanks man 🙏

lunar sandal
#

++

mental monolith
#

actually @safe light (sorry for ping)

#

in your opinion, for a NG looking for a first job

#

instead of AWS, do you have anything better in mind that I should know as an entry level SWE?

tight gale
#

I'm not sure if that cert actually helps

#

I'm in aws and first time I've seen that

mental monolith
#

oooo

#

what would you recommend then?

#

in aws as in amazon aws, or working on aws primarily?

tight gale
#

Amazon aws

mental monolith
#

ah

tight gale
#

Just have decent resume with coop or projects and practice leetcode

mental monolith
#

i just thought having some certs on my profile would help somewhat

#

not that i have anything better to do rn anyway

tight gale
#

You can use that time for project if you are missing that

mental monolith
#

alright then

#

thanks!

tight gale
#

I'm sure a cert wouldn't hurt but it's just the efficacy I'm not sure of

mental monolith
#

yeah i get that, that's why i've asked a few places

#

that seems to be the common consensus though

tight gale
#

Still here somehow

#

I think my G offer will time out

steel escarp
#

Didnt G stop the hiring freeze stuff?

tight gale
#

Yes but no

#

There's no "freeze" but like no one is getting updates or offers

#

Every update is "wait next month"

steel escarp
tight gale
#

Yes

#

My recruiter just keeps telling me to wait

At this point I'll be senior engineer by the time I get in

how competitive is docker as a skill?

#

seems a lot more for cloud-based roles, from what I've surmised, but for something like a software dev/data engineer intern role, I'm not sure how good it looks on a resume

mental monolith
#

also curious

topaz linden
#

I think it’s considered a learn it if you need it thing and not necessarily something that’s seen as impressive

Of course I could be wrong, but just my thoughts

# lunar sandal which one dou recommend

@mental monolith there's kind of a path of them that are recommended (at least by AWS people, at the AWS Summit)... the first/easiest one is Cloud Practitioner (once you complete that one you get a coupon for a discount on the exam on the next one, and, they suggest doing it anyway even if you can pass a more skilled one because it gets you familiar with their testing format, setup, style of questions, etc.), then there's the Associate level ones, then the Professional level, then Specialty. The amount of study/prep expected goes up as you get the higher ones.

#

I've personally only done the Cloud Practitioner one, because, I didn't have time to study anything (I'm already doing an MBA, and, working, have young kids, etc. lots and lots going on) and that one I passed with zero prep/studying/whatever (just having used AWS normally for years prior and looking at the guide of what it covered), the ones beyond that, I'm not quite so sure about (they seemed to ask more particulars) and I probably wouldn't attempt cold without at least some prep (they touch on things I don't use in AWS regularly already)

#

the AWS people themselves (at least the ones that go to the summit and talk to people about the certifications) get all the certifications (so they can be informed about what they're talking about), it takes them less time than you'd think (starting at a week or two, even with no prior AWS experience at all, and, going up from there)

merry shoal
# steel escarp my monthly expense is around 1k

im currently paying about that for my place in ontario for uni but my goal was to work in toronto so I can pay 0$ and have my mom cook for me (: there is another place I have an onsite for that is in toronto and hybrid for a software position that includes some embedded but this position in calgary looks more interesting to me

#

I guess ill ride it out and see what happens, if I go to calgary it would prob only be for a year or so to get experience and do stuff that is interesting for me will be nice to buff up my resume then I try to move somewhere else

not winter tho 👀

they said it could be hybrid

that is messed up

all i can say is gl if u gotta go to the office

#

I'd prob try to find a roommate but i'm guessing most people only want 4 months, maybe a one year

steel escarp
#

🤷‍♂️

#

u can find a room for a year

#

then sublease it

#

after u leave

#

its an option

merry shoal
#

wish I could visit calgary before I decide but im too poor to justify that, but looking at prices maybe I will actually just try to lean towards the software position if it goes well. I denied all my other offers because they gave me no time to decide and also one of them was really low pay lol but maybe I should keep applying. waiting back for a few company OAs but I just assume they ghosted I heard they take forever

#

if I could go back in time I'd graduate a year ago 🥲

steel escarp
#

look at the bright side

#

tax is way lower in calgary

compared to ontario
