canada

[tawny raptor]

True

Csis engineering is probably smaller though

And maybe they would have eng in toronto or van also then, but not yellowknife

Idk they seem to be hiring a lot, I get sm ads on linkedin

[formal galleon]

Congrats on the offer hope you have a great internship!

Would you mind saying what your timeline was (when did you do first and final in and when did you get the offer), just curious

[mental monolith]

How are my jobless friends doing

[pulsar gazelle]

Hey - does anyone know of a place to stay in Montreal for the summer?

[lunar sandal]

https://tenor.com/view/ryan-gosling-blade-runner2049-defeat-sad-disappointed-gif-17817916

[formal galleon]

Oh ok thanks. The reason Im asking is that I had my phone int with them on the 30th of september and it was literally one of the best interviews Ive ever done and was told by the recruiter I should hear back about next steps soon, then got rejected 2 weeks later and Im still salty about it LOL

I wasn't sure if they ran out of spots by then since they said offers will start to roll out around mid october to early nov

[lunar sandal]

same thing happened with me with the only interview i got

https://tenor.com/view/cat-vibing-vibing-cat-meme-pc-pcmr-gif-19196618

[tawny zephyr]

when does your employer ask for SIN #

some people told me at the time you sign your offer letter

but someone else said they haven't asked for his yet and he signed (they asked for his for bg check)

[boreal sentinel]

same lol, i had my interview late sept but im pretty sure they filled up their seats for final interview by then

[kind jasper]

it'll vary a bit, but, certainly before your first payroll (unless you're an independent contractor/self-employed)

some places are a lot more organized at onboarding employees than others

[barren sinew]

No advice other than applying. Reaching out to hiring managers on LinkedIn is also useful. It helps if you're a Canadian citizen as well

[tawny zephyr]

ahh

thanks for lmk

imma ask if i can submit it before first day

[lunar sandal]

UN

LUCKY

[mental monolith]

i actually don't know what to do at this point

yes i still have a bit in savings enough for a few more months

but i think it's time to start thinking about plan b

[storm sierra]

Oh nooo 😔

Their loss

[storm sierra]

Probably just luck tbh

Timing is so important

[mental monolith]

one more

one more company that tags their posting as "entry level" only to have 5yoe reqs

im gonna lose it

[mental monolith]

Time to start gambling my tfsa savings

[wispy estuary]

definitely get at least a part-time job to pay the bills while job hunting

[torn roost]

Have you considered tutoring

I can try to refer you if you'd be ready to commit

I have personally started making ok money from tutoring in grade 11, so I'm sure anyone in CS can do it if they want

[lunar sandal]

could u refer me

[torn roost]

I'll DM

[placid dawn]

could u share more about this

do u tutor at schools?

[torn roost]

yea sure, this was my personal experience: https://michaelsheinman.medium.com/how-i-nailed-a-software-development-job-in-grade-12-98e76e0459c5?sk=4dfccdc0f39f568dff0bb63b021b3120

The post may come off as a bit arrogant it was my first time writing but yea I don't wanna re-write

tldr I just made a Kijiji ad and tutored clients privately and then I had 3 companies contact me, I worked with them and I still have their contacts

When I left they all asked me to send people their way if I know anyone... I have yet to find a single person who is seriously interested in tutoring, I don't know why 🤣

Some people I talked to "were interested", I hooked them up, they got an interview, then they didn't show up and decided they are not interested

[ripe crescent]

if you sent a follow up email a week ago and received no reply, would you send another????

[lunar sandal]

uh yes

[upbeat bronze]

Anyone interviewed with morgan stanley for a python developer position?
What do they ask in their technical interview? Is it just leetcode questions? Or other things too? My first interview with them was really weird with random syntax questions

[lunar sandal]

llms still hallucinate a lot

and kids arent born out of the womb as prompt engineers

tutoring still lucrative

goo goo gaa gaa

gpt-6: Okay I see where you're struggling

its ok i see my own point

i am an LLM

Thanks, let me know if you have any questions.

[storm sierra]

clearly chat gpt can understand the infant's asking what 1+1 is

[torn roost]

From my personal experience, 90% of my tutoring was kids. And while parents want kids to learn how to code, another huge factor is the interaction with other kids and the teacher to guide them. So I don't think LLM can replace that yet for the average kid

[tight gale]

Yo

[torn roost]

So based on that I'd say tutoring is not in decline yet, although I am a bit out of touch on how the companies are doing rn

A lot of what I taught was actually Scratch programming

And the point of that is kids don't wanna read instructions, they wanna see how to do something quickly and then do it

[lunar sandal]

Yeah we don’t do much of that in this line of work

[mental monolith]

hahaha

[tawny raptor]

Bruhh

I was just reading

Smh

[worldly ridge]

@torn roost You were tutoring kids how to code?

Maybe that should be my sidehustle....

[torn roost]

yea

There was lots of interest

[torn roost]

Yea why not 🙂

Of course it depends on what point you are at with you are career; I stopped tutoring 2 few years ago since I found that while it's a decent money, I made more from TAing and tutoring didn't advance me much since the level is pretty basic. I'm now trying Medium and online content instead

[worldly ridge]

Ahh did you tutor in person like a math tutor, etc and help kids do their hw? thats realy cool

[worldly ridge]

oo like creating those udemy courses?

[lunar sandal]

why does this sound mildly condescending

[worldly ridge]

Nahh im genuinely curious becaue I might do it whenever I have alot of free time

Your also talkign to a Senior Camp Counsellor so I have expertise

[lunar sandal]

would they eat me up

i heard rich ppl eat unemployed ppl

to maintain their wealth

[barren sinew]

Tutoring uni students is also pretty lucrative. My sibling was charging $50/hr to teach a 2nd year coding course. It was doubly useful to keep their OOP + Algo knowledge fresh

[torn roost]

Someone reached out and I did tutor math like once, but 99.9% was CS.

[torn roost]

Yea that may be one of the things I'll do

Medium actually pays you for writing though

I didn't make much yet but it's slowly growing and I like it

[worldly ridge]

That's dopee, thanks for sharing

[steel escarp]

imagine making 6fig and earning passive income from medium

can't relate 😭

[worldly ridge]

Do you have a penthouse in harborfront like @weak gazelle though?

[steel escarp]

[worldly ridge]

awh that is so nice of him

was expecting you to pay 2.5k on monthly rent

[steel escarp]

[fickle juniper]

Genuinely how much is rent in Calgary?

[steel escarp]

im paying 450 👀

[fickle juniper]

Wtf

That’s so cheap

[steel escarp]

[fickle juniper]

Is that the going rate? Or lucky

[steel escarp]

i have no idea i have been paying that for like 2 years or so

my friends are paying around that as well

450 - 600 range

[fickle juniper]

Ohh cool cool

If I were to spend some time in Calgary in July, do u think a month is too long?

Will be camping most likely for a week

[steel escarp]

[worldly ridge]

no he has a condo in harborfront

like he owns it

[steel escarp]

calgary is not bad loool

just cold in the winter

thats all

some people think its boring

i think its whatever

[fickle juniper]

I love Calgary

(In the summer)

U are in nature by default

The city is kinda dead tho

It’s got a weirdly low ratio of activity/city development if that makes sense

I would love it if more tech and ppl moved to Calgary, I could see myself living there permanently

[steel escarp]

👀

its fine

[fickle juniper]

Unlike most other places in Canada that’s not Vancouver

[steel escarp]

its not like im gonna go out often anyawy

[fickle juniper]

U will take me clubbing when I am there yes?

||jk too old for that shi||

[steel escarp]

which club 👀

never go club before

[fickle juniper]

The nearest

LC club

[steel escarp]

🤣

there's a cp club in ucalgary

[elfin tundra]

Is Calgary one of the best cities to live in, why more tech ppl don't go there

[lunar sandal]

There’s a what? 🤨

[stone osprey]

Is there a github repo for internships for fall?

[storm sierra]

https://tenor.com/view/police-cops-sirens-gif-5801437

[steel escarp]

Competitive programming club

Theres even a cp course in ucalgary as well

[lunar sandal]

yeah but that abbrevation is unfortunate, to say the least

[topaz glade]

Low cost of living but low average tech salary

[ripe crescent]

i got a linked in message from someone at the ttc asking to call in 2 hours?? is this a scam?

[storm sierra]

💀 discord mod 101 course?

[steel escarp]

wdym neo pays like 70k including stock now

thats huge

[mellow anvil]

i mean a call doesn’t hurt

[fickle juniper]

Including stock

Thats worth millions

[steel escarp]

ikr

gotta think about the future valuation

[ashen mason]

Too much kkona in Calgary. Winter lasts 8 months. Air so dry u will got nose bleeds. Water is hard. Salaries low. Housing there hasn't increased in the same way as other major cdn cities.
Idk their economy is too tied to oil

But it is close to the mountains, if u like 2 hike

[tired turret]

anyone know how much FAANG/top companies pay in toronto or vancouver? for L3 or L4 levels? has it gone down in 2023 from levels?

is this real??

like base seems fine if its USD -> CAD but yearly stock is crazy

and the 286k base

although don't they let you choose your stock/cash split?

[fickle juniper]

they're either the same or has gone up

the number of such offers are down tho

[fickle juniper]

yeah the 286k base seems insane

[formal galleon]

Real but bolt stock is worthless

[ashen mason]

I'm l3 Fang. 220k toronto

[lunar sandal]

How do we get to where you are

[ashen mason]

LC 6 months and get lucky enough for an interview.

[storm stream]

[storm stream]

Or if you're someone whose wage hasn't kept up with home prices

Aka most Canadian

[lunar sandal]

[ashen mason]

Yea assigned office is wloo.

1 yoe

[storm stream]

that's sickkkk... where did you work before?

[ashen mason]

Um I had 1 year intern at SAP

Grind lc actually. Just quit games and social life

[lunar sandal]

bout to go crazy on the codeforces

[ashen mason]

Damn. Only Jesus can help u then

[fickle juniper]

only 😛 ||jk||

that's crazy I didn't know G Canada paid that much

[dire wave]

cb return offer ends up being ~190k

[tawny raptor]

Is it remote then?

If you live in toronto

[ashen mason]

This is really good for van I think. I want to work in BC

[ashen mason]

Unofficially yea

[normal jetty]

Calgary has the highest personal income per capita in Canada

Probably doesn’t affect software jobs though

[tired turret]

ict3 is L4 equivalent right?

[fickle juniper]

It’s like between L3/L4

Overlaps with both

[mental monolith]

has any of you got an OA/interview from workday

i swear they dont even look at my apps and autoreject them

lmao

regardless of when i was looking for internship or (now) ft

oh congrats to your friend

plsplspls

workday 😩

just once chance

[tired turret]

what TC is enough to live comfrotably in toronto?

or base tc i guess

[real storm]

Whats his tip for clearing their bar

[worldly ridge]

depends on your financial goals - are you trying to save up for a mortgage, ur hobbies, ur lifestyle, do you want to max out tax advatnaged accoounts to meet retiremeng goals, etc

only you can answer that

[storm sierra]

I got an OA for a 4 month position even without prior internships for a swe position. it wasn't automated because I got rejected for 2 other positions (I believe they were ML)

I never did it though

[fickle juniper]

They exist for sure

[storm sierra]

because I was pretty close to getting the internship I have now (at a startup)

[mental monolith]

Interesting

Maybe i need to work on my resume again

Thanks for sharing folks

[worldly ridge]

[analog current]

what is the avg new grad TC for mid size companies here in Vancouver?

[storm sierra]

shoppers equivalent to my part-time RA job frfr

[solemn breach]

No to work authorization and yes to sponsorship? Has that actually worked out for you?

[storm stream]

That's standard from most Canadians I've asked. How else would you answer...

I have an interview with US company wish me luck

[torn roost]

Not sure if serious but if yes, what's stopping you from getting one?

[solemn breach]

I mean that's how I've answered but just had no luck applying when answering like that - I usually just get sponsor rejected or something

Guess I just got to keep doing it and maybe a company might bite

[storm stream]

Yeah nothing you can do... Some companies don't even bother with sponsorship... And if a company has a Canadian office you'll be insta rejected from the American job post (eg. Cisco Amazon)

[solemn breach]

it makes me wonder how people get jobs in the US in the first place

I've heard of people who worked at banks here but somehow end up at Amazon in the US or something like that

[steel escarp]

Faang used to sponsor people to the state before covid

[tawny raptor]

They still do tho lol

[tawny raptor]

This is def false for zon

[storm stream]

It's true for Canadian ng

[tawny raptor]

Not at all

I mean amazon even sponsors tons of canadian interns to work in the states

Never mind full time

You can easily check on linkedin

[storm stream]

I aint never seen a new grad start in the US

Could be gladly wrong

[tawny raptor]

I’ve seen dozens

[barren sinew]

Idk about Amazon but I know other FAANGs sponsored Canadian new grads

[storm stream]

Yeah I can see that... other faangs aren't as well established in Canada as zon

whereas zon may wanna fill Canadian spots

at least that was the deal during covid boom

[barren sinew]

Yea I had an Amazon recruiter saying they don't like to bring Canadians to the US. But idk how strict that is

[fickle juniper]

they definitely still do, but I think what you said applies to Amazon

I think around covid is when they stopped hiring Canadian intern/new grads for US

in fact for certain cases like Google you can choose to work in the US as a new grad even if you were in Canada as an intern

[fickle juniper]

they don't anymore (tho maybe there are exceptions?)

[tawny raptor]

I know interns there now

[tawny raptor]

^

[topaz linden]

They do sponsor

A friend of mine is going to zon Seattle this summer

[fickle juniper]

Ohh rly

there was definitely a period when they auto rejected Canadians for US internship positions

[formal galleon]

If they don't sponsor then they don't sponsor, you need a J1 visa to intern in the US, what are you gonna do lie then when you get the offer tell them so that they can blacklist you?

Theres no way around it

[formal galleon]

This isnt true all my friends who applied to both US and Canada and got amazon offers were insta rejected for the US posting they no longer sponsor canadians to intern

The people youre talking about are probably dual citizens

No as someone who goes to loo my friends interning there in the summer also got rejected for the US role but got interviews for the canadian role

They stopped sponsoring canadians to intern since 2022, for full time its a different story cause the TN visa is much easier to get than the J1

[maiden elm]

nah theres are people who get sponsored too, that are not dual citizens

[formal galleon]

I could be wrong Im just speaking anecdotally from the tens of people I talked to who are interning there this summer

[tawny raptor]

I’m at loo

There are canadians i know who got sponsored

Might be a skill issue

[fickle juniper]

Sounds like maybe zon has started hiring Canadians for US positions again

That’s good news

[formal galleon]

Don't think its a skill issue when they're getting rejected within an hour of applying but Ill take the word of my friends interning there this summer based on what their recruiters told them than randoms on this server

[candid oxide]

There’s a couple students from loo that ik at Amazon us (non dual), but it’s only off season so winter and fall but I also know last summer some ppl that went to us from Canada but very few

[merry shoal]

im new grad got job in usa

just work for big company with money and their own lawyer then they sponsor but read job description and ask HR in the call so u dont waste ur time

it's possible just not all companies ig

it's a lot of luck

[fickle juniper]

Yeah same. It’s effort + luck mostly

[barren sinew]

I recently did a job search exclusively in the US and had decent luck with big and small companies okay with sponsorship. Most recruiters didn't think a TN was an issue.

I think my strat going forward is going to be portraying myself as very open and immediately clarifying my situation in the recruiter call

[ancient tartan]

TN is rly different from h1b sponsorship

it's much easier

[normal jetty]

For intern or NG?

[barren sinew]

NG

[storm stream]

yeah you get it at the airport... I'm tempted to answer no/no because of that

but some companies have lawyers that sort you out with the documentation for the TN visa

[barren sinew]

I've only heard of Tesla getting a TN for interns. Idk how since a TN requires a degree

[storm stream]

Intern is different? J-1 visa or something?

https://uwaterloo.ca/co-operative-education/work-abroad/visa-permits/us-j1-visa

[barren sinew]

Yea

[formal galleon]

If youre applying for ng then yes you answer no/no because you don't have work status but you also dont need sponsorship

[storm stream]

tbh from now on I'm just gonna answer no/no what's the worst that can happen?

[fickle juniper]

idt it's possible to get a TN without the degree conferred

I think it's some other visa, or maybe for masters students

[ancient tartan]

Are there any good things that can be done in Canada but can only be processed during residency/employment in the United States?

As a Canadian international student, I will soon be interning in the United States for several months and will receive a Social Security Number (SSN). I am considering taking advantage of this opportunity to apply for some exclusive US-only products that I can continue to use even after returning to Canada.

For example, the Apple Card credit card cannot be obtained in Canada, but it can be used in Canada without foreign transaction fees. As a no-annual-fee credit card, it offers better benefits than most local credit cards in Canada.

I'm wondering if anyone has any other recommendations to share

hahahahha

[storm stream]

Nah most things can be done here too... even the Apple card it's not event that crazy of a card

[ancient tartan]

I have heard that there are more benefits for the credit card in US than CA, lol

[storm stream]

like what?

theres some crazy rewards in canaada too

I know cuz I'm always cancelling and reapplying for credit cards

not if you open another 😉

I keep my oldest card with the largest credit limit I'm never cancelling that

that has the most imp[act on score

im an aeroplan fiend lmao

[formal galleon]

If its for an internship you get blacklisted for wasting the recruiters time

[storm stream]

nah ng

[formal galleon]

Oh ok yea for ng always do no/no

[storm stream]

have you had luck in the US @formal galleon

[formal galleon]

Not yet but Im not ng still interning

[storm stream]

lucky you... not graduating into a recession

[karmic mesa]

Wait y? Even if ur only canadian?

[formal galleon]

Doesnt really matter lol recession is staying till atleast 2025 and Ill be graduating around then

[storm stream]

graduating into a bull run... must be nice

[formal galleon]

Lol it wont be a bull run itll still be the recession

[storm stream]

I'm gonna try and report back some companies consider TN sponsorship some don't

most say no/yes

[formal galleon]

We'll see the worst of it next year I think and itll slowly start getting better in 2025

[formal galleon]

Well for ng you aren't authorized to work in the US so you put no but you also dont need sponsorship since a TN visa doesnt require a company to sponsor you so you put no to that as well

[storm stream]

sometimes it requires some work from the employer, like making sure your offer letter has specific lingo

but that's hardly "sponsorship"

[barren sinew]

I think it's because of them sponsoring under a different category which doesn't require a bachelors degree

https://www.usborderlaw.ca/tn-visas#:~:text=Almost all require a bachelor's,Disaster relief insurance claims adjuster

[lucid berry]

for a TN visa, you need to have a degree on hand?

what if I completed all my credits but don't have my degree?

[fickle juniper]

Yes

[fickle juniper]

That’s not enough

[lucid berry]

damn aight

no US for me for a while then

[fickle juniper]

U gotta be careful to time ur graduation correctly

Cuz if ur at ubc and u graduate in Dec for example

U won’t get ur degree conferred until May

[lucid berry]

yeah it's the same here

fucking sucks

odds are I'll get my degree a year after my credits are completed

[fickle juniper]

Wow a full year?

[lucid berry]

yeah

[fickle juniper]

that’s a big delay

[lucid berry]

yeah, it's pretty bad

so I guess I'll get a job here and then look for US in the meantime

just no US new grad

[fickle juniper]

Interesting, what school do u go to?

Cuz at ubc there are two degree conferral dates

[lucid berry]

oh it's just a special case for me

[fickle juniper]

Ah gotcha

Canada to US ain’t bad

[lucid berry]

thanks for the info

[vivid fiber]

Congrats 🔥🙌💓👏

[fickle juniper]

that's awesome, congrats!

[ripe crescent]

congrats! where is it?

[worldly ridge]

@lucid berry u can email ur school n see if dey can expedite it if u have an offer in hand

OA was 3 LC's pretty easy

[reef iron]

Idt it matters much

[unborn grove]

my school makes it really easy to get interviews so that probably helped alot

co op school

ye

[storm sierra]

I'm currently a 2nd year softe so I tried cisco's OA because I was bored. I have no LC experience so I gave it a shot but I got an easy, medium, and hard question lmaooo

[reef iron]

I died bc their cpp compiler was freaking old

Couldnt use hashmaps

[unborn grove]

I think mine was the same

they didn't feel hard compared to alot of mediums

[storm sierra]

the easy was pretty easy to do

but I had zero data structures & algos experience at the time too so the hard whooped me

https://tenor.com/view/spider-man2-spider-man-train-scene-spider-man-train-spider-jesus-spiderman-gif-24586576

[reef iron]

Sent u a friend req

[unborn grove]

👌

It's weird though

I did the interview before I did their OA

so I got the offer before I even did OA

[storm sierra]

whaaaaat?

[reef iron]

Lmao

Like i said

[unborn grove]

and my recruiter kinda just told me to do it before I could get the contract and that it wouldn't affect the offer at all

so I did it

💀

[storm sierra]

man skipped crawling and went straight to flying :-

[unborn grove]

yup yup

spring term

[reef iron]

Oa doesnt matter

No i applied externally

[storm sierra]

hardest waterloo internship process

[reef iron]

And idt oa matters

[unborn grove]

lmao yeh looworks kinda cheat code

[reef iron]

Its getting worse

[unborn grove]

this term was brutal i've heard

unemployment rate is rlly high in waterloo programs

[storm sierra]

seems like networking's especially key for cisco

[reef iron]

Nah

[storm sierra]

even in the upper years?

[reef iron]

Luck

Is what i feel

Matters

[unborn grove]

yeah, for 3rd year I think its still hovering around 50%

super brutal

[storm sierra]

would I get instantly rejected if I reapplied, since I expect the OA score to stay there for a bit?

[reef iron]

I think its higher

[unborn grove]

yeah

[storm sierra]

when I applied before, I had zero internship experiences so I was guaranteed an L

thinking of trying after this summer since I can add an internship and part-time RA job

[storm sierra]

oh wow, is keeping standards high a possible factor?

[unborn grove]

uhh, I believe cisco saves your OA under your profile and uses it for reference in future applications

[reef iron]

Its the market

[storm sierra]

💀 january me had no idea the damage he was causing

oh fuck

[unborn grove]

I think if you got the exp and skill you shouldn't rlly have an issue with still getting good internships, its just alot of people were taking what they could get since the job recessions seems to be getting rlly bad

[storm sierra]

I know for us 2nd years at the UofA only me and 4-7 others in all of computer engg (including software) got internships this term. but for 3rd years, the employment rate is pretty high

[unborn grove]

and at loo you don't really wanna be unemployed for a co op term

[storm sierra]

understandable

hopefully the cisco gods look in my direction the next time I apply 🙏

[unborn grove]

I pray for you 🙏

[storm stream]

loo is god tier, no reason to pay US tuition

of course 😂

if you get into loo I think you'll be able to get into any US company

[surreal breach]

man this is so shit

[robust lotus]

Am I dumb for letting US border low TN success rate heavily make me consider taking random school cs over Waterloo math? I hear people having trouble getting swe with a cs degree and math is further from swe than cs

[tawny raptor]

dont do math if you want cs

[forest moss]

I have a friend who's major is math at loo and is doing co-ops albeit at smaller companies

you take some cs courses alongside it and play it strategically

tbh loo gives you access to a pretty solid network, and when it comes to getting a job especially in turbulent job markets, connections can make the difference, just my opinion tho

[placid dawn]

just got offer from Health Canada

pay so low tho

[tawny zephyr]

my teammate for HTN graduated from uw math

last I checked he got a ng 100k job

smth to do with cs / swe

but that was sept 2022

[novel dome]

[lucid berry]

[placid dawn]

[barren sinew]

[placid dawn]

its a fwsep job so 19-25

full remote from home tho so its decent

[barren sinew]

That's pretty decent for a coop

Not fantastic but pretty normal

[worn moss]

yea the TN thing might acc fuck things up

but it fucks up even for cs

its rng most of the time

there are alot of math students that go us after grad

[robust lotus]

can companies get you approved before you reach the border

I only ask cause I've heard of it happening for others

Google got mixed results xd

[worn moss]

yea honestly idk fs

[barren sinew]

I did a quick Google search and Mathematicians/Staticians are their own fields for the TN. So they might actually have it easier than CS which don't have any clear field.

https://rjimmigrationlaw.com/resources/how-do-i-qualify-for-tn-visa-status-as-a-mathematician-or-statistician/#:~:text=Mathematicians and Statisticians are two,qualify for TN Visa status.

But you should still ask yourself if a math degree will lead to a CS job if that's what your set on

[oblique crater]

this is assuming you go for that job

I think this guy wants to go to uw math and get a swe job

which isn’t a bad idea but when you consider the TN situation it becomes dicey

[barren sinew]

I imagine there's enough of an overlap between maths and SWE where the company can write your letter in a way to emphasize the math portion.

[oblique crater]

the boring answer would be to just work in Canada for peanuts

[barren sinew]

There's plenty of Front End Engineers working on a TN when that sort of work doesn't really line up with what an engineer is supposed to do

[oblique crater]

you would think so but people with cs degrees that get swe jobs sometimes get flack from border agents about how they qualify for an engineering job without an engineering degree

[barren sinew]

But this is my own guessing. It's probably best to ask Math alumni what their experience is with the TN

[lunar sandal]

double major

does immigration seriously check your program

[oblique crater]

the main requirement for a TN is a bachelors degree

[lunar sandal]

for our uni we just BSc's and shit, no indication of program on the degree after grad

[oblique crater]

well they’ll ask you at the border

if they catch you in a lie you’re screwed too

[barren sinew]

I think the flack is usually because they are trying to say they are qualified for an engineering role while they're not an engineer. This is harder to explain than obviously being a mathematician and trying to convince the border agent that you will be applying your degree in your SWE job. (Which you will in at least some capacity)

[lunar sandal]

this seems like such a nitpicky detail lol

US moment

[oblique crater]

US incompetence

[lunar sandal]

why is Math and CS not in the same category of competence

[barren sinew]

They evaluate your school and the program and see if it fits with the occupation you're applying for

[oblique crater]

yeah most swe jobs are taken by cs majors in the US

[barren sinew]

My company had a third party company authenticate my degree and write up a report on what I learnt in it

[lunar sandal]

lMFAO

that sounds like aids

oh

wait the company wrote the report?

dont they have to get ur transcripts n shi

[barren sinew]

No they contracted some other company to do it for them

They want that as well

I guess it's useful for random universities the border agents haven't ever heard of before to ensure you didn't just attend an online degree mill or something

[boreal sentinel]

monopoly money

[brave fable]

my recruiter for full time wants my SSN for the background check even though I don’t have one yet…I’ve been telling them that I’m Canadian throughout the process and they’ve been ok with it

she told me to apply for one, but can I do that without getting a TN visa? super confused rn

[wispy estuary]

not sure about TN, but you'd have to go to the U.S. to get one (embassies and consulates don't give them AFAIK)

[brave fable]

wouldn’t I need to have work authorization (ie. a TN visa) before applying for an SSN in the US though?

that’s what the info online says. I got my job offer though

[quiet ferry]

u gotta get ur TN first, then u can apply for ssn

[brave fable]

Yeah, makes sense. They’re pretty adamant on starting the background check prior to my start date though, which is immediately a week following my graduation. So I’ll be getting my diploma and TN visa really close to my start date

[quiet ferry]

which company is running the background check? checkr?

[brave fable]

Cisive

i always used HireRight prior to this for my internships

[quiet ferry]

for a past internship, checkr was asking me for ssn but then i requested an international background check which didnt ask for ssn

[barren sinew]

They can start your background check using your SIN. Why are they asking specifically for SSN?

[brave fable]

it’s an American company, idk

the recruiter must be confused or something, maybe she thinks SSNs can be obtained without a visa

I told them about Cisive international background checks, so we’ll see what happens. Otherwise I’m fucked

[oblique crater]

nah don’t say that

get TN visa, go to the states and get your SSN and then do the background check and start

ahh i guess you need the offer of employment first

[barren sinew]

I did this recently for 2 companies in the states. Both did the background check simultaneously to the TN application

They didn't ask for a SSN. If I remember correctly HireRight has a box for selecting that you don't have one

[brave fable]

they gave me my offer letter, and I signed it

[oblique crater]

then you gotta get to the US asap

[brave fable]

my convocation is on June 6th tho

and my start date is supposed to be June 12th

don’t I need my physical degree as a part of the TN process?

[oblique crater]

idk tbh

[oblique crater]

you probably have to push this back

[brave fable]

yeah may have to, unless they can arrange for an international background check

fingers crossed

[quiet ferry]

btw earliest u can enter the US for TN visa is 10 days before your start date

another thing you could do is order an “early diploma” from your school so they can ship you the diploma asap, u just gotta provide them proof of your start date

[worldly ridge]

^^ ask for an early diploma, my school does that too

my friend was in ur exact shoes stevey and all he had to do was ask the skewl

[brave fable]

I asked UofT, and they said they can’t give out diplomas before convocation. All they can do is give a letter confirming my eligibility to graduate, which I think should be enough for pre-approval

[barren sinew]

I was told this wasn't enough but you never know. 6 days isn't enough for premium processing so you'll need to take your degree and head to the border with it to get the TN

[storm stream]

You do

IME, many recruiters copy-paste job postings from others. The 3-4 companies I heard back from all required experience despite the fact that I don't even have a CS degree, let alone paid experience. (One company got back to me even though the description mentioned 4+ years of Flutter experience). So just apply 🙂

[mental monolith]

they spam my search results i spam their inbox

Just saw this in personal finance canada

Why is housing also increasing in principle more than peak covid times with historicaly low rates

Why did chicken drumsticks get cheaper

80% over 10 years is not

i think it got well over most people’s budgets 5 years ago and that’s why it hasn’t gone up that much

I get 16 months of internship, close enough???

[magic perch]

Thing is so many places don’t consider internship experience in it

[soft hamlet]

would freelance experience count

[magic perch]

It’s stupid imo, interns often are much more motivated and do more than even fulltimes

[magic perch]

Yeah it would

I'll meet that bar then

Hey all, was wondering if anyone could help with information about J1 visas. I’m currently at Roblox for the summer and them have an upcoming 12 month with uber after, both in states. However, uber told me bc of j1 something visa something, they cant have me anymore. So its either roblox or uber for them

I think the rule they’re referring to is the 2 year rule saying i have to go back to country for 2 years after intern ends

But i know some people get internships every summer so wondering if theres a way for me to go around this with my visas

Both visas are handled by cultural vistas
