i also speak french
thank god for ottawa
my company is letting me go fully hands on
like through the weeds
its awesome
just sucks that they dont allow WFH
networking, I kinda bypassed resume screen. Got a referral link from an online networking event hosted by my uni for Cisco (also got interview offer before I did OA LMAO), RBC interviewed at an IRL conference, startup I was one of the first alpha testers
better than $9
I bypassed resume screen online, but still recruiters screened me on the spot
idk how my resume passed for some of the places
im like TA and 1 week at a startup ๐ซก
even tho I got rejected, I can still hit up the contacts I've gotten over the past year
when w as this put in place
passing resume screen when you are with the recruiter in some form is way easier it seems
My school hosts and publicizes them
and then I sneak into the neighboring uni ones
yeah
it works 
Carleton
CARLETON ON TOP
@crystal comet @loud belfry
id be down
LET'S GOOO
lowkizzy
WE UP
id be hella down
true true
add me
sneak into Carleton events
theyre only online
true
I hope there are in person ones
like the industry mixer
again
how much are they paying
where do u find those
mostly linkedin (99% here, I just browse a lot) and through friends, sometimes the company seems pretty unknownw and small but on levels theyll have good pay so i just apply anyways
cringe
This has to be the most garbage and pointless take Ive ever seen as someone from the program
To claim the vast majority of govt subsidized CS education benefits the US more than Canada ignores the fact that waterloo SE is literally one of if not the hardest programs to get into in the entire country and the ~120 students that it has are some of the most job oriented and ambitious students ever
So you have a survey that 77% of the 120 students responded to, and 85% of them are going to the US, so about 70 students go to the US out of the tens of thousands of engineering and cs grads across all of canada and its an issue? Yea sure remove government subsidization, its not like the fact that the programs 17k a year tuition is a problem
This is besides the point but
Waterpoo
Are there really only 120 loo SE students?
That graduate I'm pretty sure
It takes in roughly 120 students per year out of 3000+ apps
That is an extremely low number wow
Yea which is why this is such a stupid tweet lol
Also
About 25% of the cohort switches to CS so per cohort maybe 80-90 people actually graduate from SE
My cohort started in covid and was about 150 people and right now its 118
Like the overwhelming majority of STEM grads in Canada stay in Canada even the international students cause they want to get a PR. Optimistically I would say maybe ~10% are able to make it to the states
CS has more
But SE is small yeah
I dmed but not for Jane street. Do u by chance have Neo financial
Itโs my dream company, they let me use my personal laptop for work
yo
yo ong?
i have two big tech companies under my resume
- have solved ~120 lc questions

idt jane street gives a fuck abt ur lc problem count ๐ which isnt a meaningful metric
but im p sure that was ironic so
and idt they operate on referrals anyway
gonna have to get a non-zero score on the putnam + be icpc world finalist
to get callback 
what's icpc



?
not that I am going for jane street
ryan the best case for u would be this:
turn into me
yk why?
i also go to a no name
ya
exactly
there are only 3 valid unis in canada
:void:
its tuff out here
eyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy
based vancouverite
oh
fuck u
imagine not going to a big 3 and having no prospects (big companies_
theyre too busy making millions
solving the latest daily contest
and sovlign np complete questions
yep
fuck them mfs
yep (please give me a job)
my dream company is salesforce lowkey
good salary + good wlb + good cutlure
what else do u want
that i cant give
(nor can anyone else)
in this market
only god gets hired
even god has to go thru 4 rounds
for a down leveled role
and a culture fit
๐
word on the street is that bezos himself conducts that interview
the holiness interview is based on zon's leadership principals
๐ ๐ ๐ ๐ ๐ ๐ ๐
on the daily
he probs accounts for 90% of the transactions
that would turn zon into the biggest ponzi scheme of all time
buys stuff from amazon -> relists them -> buys them again -> repeat
zon will never run out of monie
ever heard of yosanta
i have not
he's the only one with enuf power to rival bezos
whose dat
hes a classmate of bezos during his time at princeton
ye
LMAO
that guy is a legend
"its cosine"
how much of a chad do u have to be to just do diff eq questions in ur head
๐
bro
i took calc 3 thinking itd be ez
i dropped it after the 2nd day
they covered all of calc 2 in one day
i soldiered thru that, and then remembered nothing once i was done w the course
fr
bro EE and CE kids have it rough
having to learn all the coding and shit a year or two later than most and still getting the same jobs
come work for dn
ya ur mid in both worlds
das what i was getting at lol
honestly
the best major is biz
they give u coloring books to fill
and if ur lucky
and basic addition
u get land a ib/consulting jop
making just as well as engineering jobs
that sentence makes no sense
but yall know wht i mean
indeed
canada is a sexy place
but its mid if u like monie
like what
freelancing for ๐ฅ
miss me w that shit dawg
i wanna have a stable career
you know where i wanna really live?
Okanagan
buy a vinyard near there
and just live that simple life
business owner
you can open up a mechanic shop here and make tons of money manual labor is expensive af the margins are pretty healthy
nice place
inddeed
Its not the curriculum is garbage theres a reason tons of people switch from it to cs
you have to do general 1st year stuff?
Didnt they layoff 12% a couple months ago, Idt its chill anymore lol
still
Its not really general but you take a ton of useless courses, its not until fourth year that you acc get to take courses you care about kinda like hs and by then you just wanna graduate
proof?
SOURCE?
Lol its not that simple
My friends from western have better internships than I do
its not about the uni you go to its about how much work you put in
fair take for sure
Yea first year we had to take a clasisscal mechanics course and an electricity and magnetism course
Also a circuits course
And then in third year for some reason we have to take calc 3 like systems signals etc.
that sounds fun asf
western cs?
WESTERN?
WWWWWWWWWESTERN?
๐ค
it aint even a t10
found the uoft kid
i have yet to see non-depressed uoft student
waht do they feed u guys down there
Ranking literally doesn't mean anything at all in canada
Why is that relevant, if you have good experience and projects from a random university then your chances at a good internship in the US are basically the same vs a student with similar experience at waterloo
For some reason people think waterloo is like MIT or stanford where you get in and have tons of resources that make you cracked
itโs impossible to determine if there is a statistical advantage because most other unis donโt have data on their co-op programs, but that fact in itself is an indicator that theyโre not nearly as good
shoutout carleton
The reality is the job board has been garbage for the past 3 years with lots of big US companies pulling out, employers stopped doing specific info sessions for waterloo, and most people who get the cracked jobs are finding them externally
Before there were waterloo specific postings for google/fb/amazon etc. now the only US companies are literally random startups youve never heard off
Its just a glorified trades school, the success is due to the fact that students who come here are career driven, not the school itself
The only objective advantage that waterloo offers is finding internships for your freshman and sophmore year, after that the advantage diminishes drastically cause 98% of the jobs are canadian companies
Yea for summer 23 there was literally 100 US job postings with the majority having external postings for the same roles...
Press x to doubt
Meanwhile PEY portal: 0 new postings
I got a summer internship but that portal was so trash
the portal I mean
Believe what you want but I literally go there and Im telling you that the advantages youre talking about dont matter you need to work extremely hard to leverage them and at that rate you might as well go to another university thats easier and will allow you to have more time to work on your career
Where r the fall jobs ! Only snowflake there which obv no one has made the OA for
True true true
I feel the same way
They need to fire
The pey committee
I wrote to em saying tall donโt know wtf youโre doing
and they invited me for a
Feedback session
๐
St George flex
Couldnโt go a day without seeing it
Calgary ๐ ๐ ๐
western better than carleton what????
western has such a nice campus
how is queens better than carleton too
like this doesnt make sense breh
i been to queens and know people who have transferred from carleton to queens
they say its way worse
no respect
Macleans is always shit at ranking
is it based on job placements of people who graduate or what?
looks weird ngl
lol
what is the metrics of prestige
i havenโt even heard about Simon Fraser
If ur from bc u would know about sfu
Well then all bets are off ig
undefined behaviour
idk i think they just liked the courses themselves better and the profs
i really like queens
i go there often cuz my partner lives there
just the classes are like meh
idk im probs biased
but i really love carleton even though i thought i would hate it
like having a webdev class in second year was awesome
yeah carleton has been updating a lot
i also like queens social vibe better
carleton is very closed off
like most of our classes use submission servers from gradescope now
so like infinite retries of assignments
and less exams and more hands on learning
yeah
carleton is a bit harder i would say
but if ur good at CS its easy peasy
like A+ in all CS classes no going to class
i do OS next year
so ill lyk
also carleton CO-OP is goated
like not waterloo
but no ranking is awesome
and 4, 4term co-ops or any combinations
instead of being forced to 1 12 month co-op
isnt queens
like one long co-op
yeah
Hey hold up
Queen's is a great campus
yeah
Super fun environment
the campus is great
Horrible education
the more i hear about carleton the better it seems to be
makes sense
i go to Carleton and my gf goes to queens so its like a really good combination
yeah true
a Discord mod
if you're not in uni yet i would consider it
ottawa is also really good for co-ops
like rent isn't insane
even tho the wages are slightly lower than toronto
like ik people renting for 650
with 4 of their friends
yeah exactly
Ottawa is the same
sometimes u get unlucky like me
i make 18
but first co-op
so its okay
ik, i wanted to transfer to carleton for my second-third year but received full scholarship at my uni
For 1st co-op p good tbh
yeah and ive learned so much, so much going on my resume
got interviews nokia ford and kinaxis
2 of them external
dont then
obviously lol
if u have full scholarship just spend the time u would have making money
grinding
i wish i gotta save Sadge
thatโs what am doing
makes sense
congrats tho thats awesome
idk carleton is good if u wanna be a big fish in a small pond is my thought
Itโs pretty much waterloo
COPE COPE COPE
lol, i mean itโs a good price-quality ratio
yeah especially with auto entrance scholarship
all u need is an A- average
and u get it every year
loo is crazy expensive for international
why not just go to Lakehead if ur aiming so high
yeah really
at the end of the day there's plenty of opportunities to climb the ladder
yeah exactly
there are top preformers at every school
just try ur best
and being here means that ur on the way
yeah
big believer in building the community you want to be
if no one does LC start spreading the word and the levels.fyi links
cp UHHHH
UHHH
UHHHHHHH
BRO I DONT THINK THATS A GOOD IDEA
HAHHAHAHAHAH
o okay
HAHAHAHHA
phew
i would join if i went
im not much of a leader but :')
i just talk to my cs friends about stuff
You should do events with Compsa
naw leader is so abstract
just do what u wanna do and if some people wanna join then u sauce em an invite
yeah exactly
i would like to help younger years
Maybe the best performer wins $5 flex
like people just entering my school
winner gets a lazy breakfast ๐ช
i miss victoria hall!
Then make the prize $50 dollars a meeting
And just get make sure ur friends win
If you catch my drift
that would entice people for sure
i used to get one every day man
every day i was there
I lost 10lbs my first year
Cuz my mom didn't feed me lol
Same
first time doing hard drugs :)
KIDDING
downtown kingston is kinda banger tho

๐
apply for the sole sake of plugging up the resources and letting less u of t students have interviews /j
accept every offer and renege last min for the sole sake of gatekeeping /j
nah fr tho

can't complain about job opportunity shortages if you caused it yourself
Any universities I can get into MS programs at with a low GPA (B)?
Preferably research based
Very preferably
Is this what itโs come down to
2500 for a fucking one bedroom
Thatโs actually insane, itโs not even that bad in Van
anyone know anything about Ouster?
truee we got the same interview
Aint jo way jobs asking for drivers license as a requirement
Is that just a proxy for age
First of all
Company name ?
Hiring cycle ?
New grad ? Intern ?
Secondโฆ it depends
But if u figured it out and had a complete sol at the end u shud be fine I think ?
probably checking whether its u or not
ye but Iโm international
Mans kinda delayed the whole G2 cuz of how much I use public transit
same boat it was too expensive for me and I never needed it
Yes ofc
uh what the fuck
shud i jus say yes even tho im intl
im legally allowed but if i dont choose yes they'll filter me oUTTTT!!
is the job PR/citizen only
why would you say yes if it's a no
u will waste your own time
its not a no
do you even live in canada?
yes
If youโre intl you would need a work permit or co-op designation right?
Yep

i got excited for a second
Yea just say yes
Dumb options
I got Circle from applying to a new York posting
Unless you are from a sanctioned country, then it might be worth a pass
where do you guys look for job listings, is it anywhere different than the regular linkedin, indeed, glassdoor etc
also are most of the fall listings already out ?
I only use linkedin
cool, thank you
LinkedIn tends to be the quickest and most comprehensive
Is there anything you guys do to speed up application workflow, sometimes if the listing is on workday, my resume doesnt parse well and I have to manually go through and fix some things
nvm
Simplify โ Autofill your job applications
you might also wanna make sure your resume parses well just in case
U can also try angel list, handshake, ripple match for startups
ohh i didn't know that indeed had companies that linkedin doesn't
that explains my shitty response rate ๐
well that + my shitty resume
I think I have used a python script before to check this, is there somewhere else I could check this?
Thank you
wise shri
wait i thought this was for canadian companies only but not US ones, as in US companies do not get a benefit
You're right
donโt get a benefit yet still pay so much more
oh hey my sister goes there for math/cs. she said she wasnโt happy with their content so she wanted to transfer out (though sheโs on scholarship)
she described the uofm math as too โdryโ for her taste
Iโm in wpg rn but Iโm going to waterloo se in the fall, however, what she said kinda stuck with me in my decision making personally
i mean, as far as I know, cs department here is not the best as many nice professors left recently
do u guys learn processing in first year lmfao
damn
did u go to a hs here? or are u int
I donโt think she took cs in hs however sheโs always been down the math stream and is just in cs for fun
iโm int
๐ค
๐ค
you got into loo?
yeah i did awhile ago
gz, donโt even look at other unies
tbh i really havent lmfao
i applied uoft/ubc but idk bruh
i am happy with my decision
waterloo also offered a major scholarship for me
itโs the best uni in Canada iโm sure u r lmao
๐ญ
yeah, i grew up in mb
oh, cool cool
i am tired of mb lowkey
theres NOT MUCH TO DO
like theres no entertainment
theres probably less in waterloo tbh
man, itโs sad
it really is
loo offers a very cool community of like-minded
yeah, ive been learning a lot from talking to the people there
a lot of startup shit
btw i might go to the hackathon in waterloo in september
thatโs really cool man
you shouldddddddddddd, im gonna apply
i think july?
might be
idk when in july, i just know that they close usually by the end of july
nice,i will keep an eye on their ig
i only know that info bc i lurked their ig ๐ญ
tbh imo theres a fair bit to do
Anyone interviewed with EY for a Product Engineer Intern role and/or at Vidyard for a Software Developer Intern role?
hopefully you'll like it!:) congrats on the admission
the nice things abt loo is u have coops sprinkled in between study terms
so u just have endure for 4-month intervals
thanks to shri i make 400k in jane street and live in harbour front
Pay is shit, โ30/hrโ

uhhhh never mind the posting disappeared?
idk why that feels kinda enjoyable for me? to take a break from studying to just chill and work
though i havenโt tried out coop yet so i canโt say much ๐ญ
ive always been more studious so we will see
one of my friends at waterloo was telling me they fell asleep on the job in their first week ๐ญ
don't u go to uoft?
Is this another job board i need to follow ๐
nah it's dogshit don't worry about it... found it on Google Jobs
Ahh ok
eeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee
happy hour today
almost got outta hand bois
where jop
im afraid they renege my offer cause background check taking so long 
I'm making less than that
ya itโs cuz u donโt have a real job
freelancing doesnโt count my brother
no offence
does waterloo masters accept carleton graduates
nah
nobody accepts cu its gg
they accept mfs from the middle of uganda if they have the right stuff
:3
?
Can canadian interns in US have name on the lease?

cs mindset
smh
im at that much and im thanking the lord
30 is very solid for an internship. People gotta stop complaining
Has anyone gotten the WedgeHR interview from Interac?
3rd internship and im still at 20 and happy lmao
karma for sharing cash app applciation with us
you will get the job
I beleive it
They will hire someone from uoft cuz that's all they do 
check your email on monday, inshaallah
Interac ghosted me
I have an internship
Lmao I was just seeing a friend do his cash app codesignal
UofT thing is accurate xx
Xd
itโs only the new grad position tho, sad they donโt hire interns
Code signal was after phone screen right?
Hmm idk ill have to ask
is code signal just a platform where interviews are conducted?
no it's like hackerrank
maybe you're thinking of karat
oh
yeah probs, is it the same difficulty level as leetcode?
i know that it depends but still
the wording and stuff cause i hate when itโs like a paragraph of text for a problem
you can find practice ones online
from what ive seen on new grad
its implementation, DP, graphs
DP or intervals
what szn is this for dawg
but yea i feel like thats one company that only sucks off uoft and uw
hows the winter 2024 search going for u guys cuz ive seen barely any openings
I think winter postings usually come out at the same time as summer
i think big tech shoulda came out but ya
Hi! Where are the people with 2+ years full-time experience at?
How do you guys know when apps come out...
I got nothing for the square/cashapp app, I cant even find it
Did this application close?

all these cheats and she still cheated on me 
bro fortinet just reject me already
has anyone had experience interviewing for stackadapt before?
Is this all fortinet ๐
anyone interview with pointclickcare?
Definitely real
yeah whenever it's featured in my linkedin notification i apply
aint no way this is being asked now (geocomply)
idk if places only recently started asking these but this's new to me
wtf
ah that's too bad if it was $51k+ i would've messaged
Anyone have experience with Splunk hiring process?
gotchu gotta apply here then lol
Lmaooooo
Kinaxis wilding
The only time I've ever had anything remotely interesting from Kinaxis was at events
lmao
You applied as a new grad?
samee
Pizza Pizza Limited hiring Front End Dev...
Nope intern
Did you ask 
Still no OA from Cash App I give up ๐ญ
the OA is in the application
thereโs a codesignal link on the application page
LOL I'm an idiot... thanks for the heads up
Wheres the application? Can't seem to find it anywhere
yo yo yo
ericsson vs rbc for internship, asking for a friend
who pays more for new grad
itโs in #grad_postings_old
which positions
Both are ๐ถ
*edible
McGill? Two of my friends that worked on cellular at Ericsson now work at Apple
If you prefer fintech then RBC I guess?
life with no offer is doodoo... I wanna go to ๐บ๐ธ
need to find a US baddie
they just need cheap insulin
Rbc imo, they are more difficult to even get an interview lol. Idk how much Ericsson ng is but ik rbc is like 80-90 + bonus
Source ?
Afaik only rbc capital markets pays that high ng
Guy on my team (at rbc) said this was ballpark range, but that's my only concrete data point, others I heard from randoms on discord lol
what the FOACK
Coop is starting to feel like a waste of time
i have never heard from any bank ๐ญ
๐
cant u contact ur manager for return offer?
ohhhh
cant u still ask them for a diff team?
also how was qa at a bank
what happens in a qa coop
whyโs that?
Just running circles
Most Canadian coops are similar
I feel like your better off grinding lc a lot and aiming higher once u have 1-2 internships and 3rd year
what do u do after u get that good internship?
Cali
Plan B
Ms in USA
Plan C
NO
SO UR TELLONG ME ITS ALL DOWNHILL AFTER THE FIRST GOOD INTERNSHIP
Run across the border

brosike they ainโt hiring non loo canadians
what are u bois smoking
classic case of blind leading the blind

Thereโs a lot of ppl who went to random us colleges for MS
And got stuff after
So itโs never over

Or like 2-3 years in Canada full time then American job using L1 visa
Which one
damn
u can get into almost any us uni as long as u have the monie for it
Sounds like Cornell tech or something
Lowkey I wouldโve taken it
80k/year a paper is wild
Cuz Iโm a simp for American unis
Itโs gonna pay itself back in 1 year 
U can keep doing TN, itโs indefinitely renewable
does it make a diff in us?
he has to go them one of them h1bs
Yeah for your case it makes more sense
h1b r hard rgt?
can one work in us with pr?
Wdym I'll be seeing you at G office next year
Iโm gonna start working retail to get social skills
And hopefully bag a baddy ๐ฏ
zara is a good one
Did you become friends with coworkers tho
i would have fantasies about the store โaccidentallyโ being set on fire
and all the karanโs would be stuck inside
should have made it a reality
whats the worst that can happen
the thing is
u have to share a toilet with a mf
and u donโt get good beds
those are deal breakers for me
u also cant use electronics
but free rent tho
well i donโt pay rent rn
gotta go commit the crime in norway
those cells lookin better most rentals
onggggg
they be giving u good food and free education too
they probably have soemone tuck u in bed too
no
sheeesh
for the low low price of $1k u can achieve it all @analog current

ik u saw that
bro iโm not gonna lie to ya
these L6-L7s at amazon have no chill
today i got chewed so hard
i had to take an hour long break just to recover from that meeting
ur gonna be L7 one day
itโs legit over fro me
seatlle >>
u cant enjoy it when ur poor
Ur chilling with 170k cad ng
seattleโs weather is slightly worse
iโm an intern bro
If u get return (big if nowadays tbh
i ainโt got no ng offer
But like
u will
Amazon ppl always get good stuff after so your chilling
i donโt qualify for it, iโm going for that return intern
unless bezos start firin again
na bro
i saw soemone at bell
after their amazon internship
i saw someone at citadel after amzn
Ok thatโs like 1 dude tho
well those are the exceptions
But on avg most ppl get decent stuff after
the odds ainโt lookin too hot bois
decent means 80-90k a year jobs?
i was 2024 but iโm delaying
No I mean Big N
ima be in uni till 2030
iโm gonna do another coop after this zon internship
ah
Highkey u should aim for summer 24

how many did u do before zon
I think summer 24 is gonna pop off
sap sheesh
๐
ong bro
why
I am pretty sure they hard filter for school
going to doodoo karelton aint helpin then
ya they do matter
if u go to uni of regina for example
the odds are pre much stacked against u
itโs mostly bc of the location tho
not the brand name
location matters more than the school itself
the name loo is all u need
when does amazon winter 2024 open?
our options are mid prestige older companies in Ottawa or trying to get something in Toronto
Same 8 nevwr get interview/oa
First coop/second coop/now ft
I never get a call back
i study 30 mins a day and work 30 mins a day
Your team hiring?
Is it remote as well?

back to bed
OOOOOOO CANADAAAA
