facts

lunar sandal
#

i really dont care

#

i had straight As at uni

#

before applying to jobs

#

then i realized how futile that effort was

#

as long as gpa > 3

#

no one cares

#

(mostly)

pallid reef
#

ROI is logn growth function

#

in terms of gpa

wheat comet
#

so u think its worth? how would they even find out that i did that tho

lunar sandal
#

its fucking 1/x

earnest mortar
#

Wait intel has a 3.5+ req?

lunar sandal

#

For new grads?

lunar sandal
#

somewhere between 3.4-3.6

#

no pey

earnest mortar
#

Oh

#

Damn uoft 3.4-6 that’s rough

lunar sandal
#

its very easy to unlearn it tbh

#

at a point u wonder "a 100 on this assignment and i still got 20 rejections last week"

#

was it worth?

pallid reef
#

I unlearned it in primary school

lunar sandal
#

but if u wanna get smth out of uni yea ur gpa will mos def tank.

#

aka taking the rigorous classes

earnest mortar

I'm so mad, I wanna spend one day giving literally everything a test-id

#

because it drives me mad when I have to go file searching through react components with like 38249823472938 levels of abstraction

#

to find where to place a data-testid

#

codegen sometimes produces some really strange things

#

like css based selectors

#

but the thing is we have sort of auto generated css

#

so that won't work

#

and also because I work at a startup, things iterate all the time

#

so I have to assign a data-testid to certain divs within components so that no matter how they change things, the test will still work

#

WazowskiStare on my first day I got code reviewed to oblivion by using css selectors

#

lol

#

css-1mwkcfo--NotebookList--listItemStyles--NotebookList--NotebookList

#

this is literally a generated css class

#

on main

#

bruh

#

I have to pass two code reviews to get things merged

topaz sentinel
#

If I get a second offer after accepting one already and signing the contract, can I just say "actually nvm I'm going somewhere else"

soft hamlet
#

unless it's like gov -> google probably not worth it

topaz sentinel
#

cause I recently was able to interview for a diff company that I applied to before, for a web dev role vs the offer I accepted recently

#

And was just wondering

soft hamlet
#

is it a significant pay bump or something

topaz sentinel
#

Don't know that yet, if it's only like 5k more I might just leave it

#

But if it's significant then I'd have to consider

#

It also may be fully remote although they haven't confirmed yet

soft hamlet
#

I think you should just take the job you already have for like a good year, get some training and then dm the recruiter that gives you an offer or whatever and work from there

#

🤷‍♂️

topaz sentinel
#

alright thank you for the advice!

#

also when you mention blacklisted I assume you mean for the first company, right?

oblique crater
#

yes and even that’s not really a guarantee

topaz sentinel
#

I will say this company is pretty small so thats not too much of a concern

Ok so according to Waterloo Canadian coop term salary

#

A normal salary looks like

#

First coop- 22.5

#

Second coop - 22.8

#

Third coop: 26.2

#

Fourth coop- 28.1

#

Fifth coop- 30.1

#

Sixth coop- 32

#

That’s assuming ur the average Waterloo kid in cs

In Canada

gotta give em credit tho, they were willing to pay 38/hr

bro in the contract the company name was always followed by the full address

I'm saying

Today was a wild ride 😭

correct.

That’s 80k+

What’s ng then lol

#

I don't work there but my friend does.

#

And yes it's exactly that. There are only 2 interns.

#

Tons of business interns, only 2 tech

craggy lark
#

As I said, don't sleep.

#

short of FAANG don't think you're getting much better in CAN

On glass door it says around 34

In the past that was accurate

#

not for 2023.

38 is pretty close to Faang in canada

#

Any relocation/housing?

craggy lark
#

Their flight was paid. Pre-covid apparently they housed all the interns, not anymore.

craggy lark
#

Idk the number but you can see what others have estimated

#

yes, tons.

I haven't seen much mention of it but after searching it I see it's been discussed before
