4 is the highest it can go
hwo do you get someone with a 4+
also prolly hft/quant has a 3.7-3.8 requirement
this aint twitchc hat
idk what those keywords mean
BTTV not enabled
ohh
wtf
lemme guess
psychology?
sociology?
i know a guy 4.5 straight
aka guy with no life
u can keep knowing him bro
true
hard pass
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)
so u think its worth? how would they even find out that i did that tho
Wait intel has a 3.5+ req?
so i've heard
For new grads?
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?
I unlearned it in primary school
its not that bad until like 3rd year, and even then there's ways of taking the easier courses in ur stream
but if u wanna get smth out of uni yea ur gpa will mos def tank.
aka taking the rigorous classes
R u in uoft eng?
no CS
Nice
eng has a whole different standard lol
if u passin u good
UTM, but I take all courses dt
Yea i heard cs is relatively ok to get a high gpa
That’s kinda blessed
where do u study
lol
yea but yall can be done w class
and then go to that food truck area
instantly
on Yonge
and then ur so fucking close to Y&D
Believe it or not no one uses the food truck area 😂
It’s either eaton centre or the loads of other places that are much better
What does utsg have?
My offer got impacted 2 monthd before start date
Given the fact that i held the offer for 8 months (since September)
did they say why?
couldnt afford to hire u hm
Any good cafes?
the usual, second cup starbucks
Yee i guess
I despise both lol, all the lowkey cafes be really good ngl
these are the best years of my life
Yee
Ikr
idk what to do anymore
i have youth
i have monie
but that’s about it

unluck
no bitches nowadays
i think my biggest mistake coming outta hs was cutting off everyone i knew
and going into grind mode
do u wish there was an LC for getting chicks
Bruh hiw to have monie
this already happens
go to any club friday night dt
and check the parking lot
thats not the point
the whole club thing
no ik
i’ve experienced that part too
it’s too hallow for me
money is the great equalizer
it’s not
This tbh
money ain’t shit
im an international student
oh i’m sorry
yes
Tell me
let me take my peasant ass back
u r excused
i went w a bunch of biz bros
there’s also this cs dude who goes
but idk
i don’t really like him to go to the club w him
ong

Wow really? Were u burnt out?
Nah was just not interested in my team so low motivation if I boomerang I'm gonna try for diff team
If u wanna come to cisco lmk
A lot do. Even companies you haven't heard of are pretty open to TNs from what I've experienced
bruh TN doesn't even need "sponsorship"
there should be an option on job apps for us

Must be nice being a senior vp of engineering with 1yoe

Do people actually get jobs going to those

meetup @ tims
sponsored by shri
<@&868936794601828492> can we get a collision 2023 channel for people attending or wanting to attend?
<@&699116154983153824>
make a group chat!
time to drop 1k now shri
how much do they usually cost?
so what's the difference?
general is also like 1k
oh
that's about where I'm at... free ticket, maybe, paid, probably not
I filled out the dev ticket form quite a while back, no reply since
I got a response almost immediately
I think you need a GitHub acct with a few stars maybe?
I did it with GitHub and have a couple stars (so much of my stuff is private and not counted there, but, like it wasn't completely empty or anything)
Oh well, the AWS Summit's free, and, this Wednesday, I managed to clear time in my schedule to go to that
(and RSVP'd to the after party thing, too, which I don't think was a thing last year)
if anyone's going to that AWS Summit Toronto, I'd be happy to try to meetup

I wanted to go but I probably won't be able to 😔
I was so on the fence for quite a while, just because of so many other things to do
they rejected me 😭
😭 I didn't apply, was just pointing it out because I saw it on linkedin
they started to ask lc on the harder side
it's used to be like fizzbuzz or 2sum but I saw some of random companies start to ask lc med during the interviews
idk if its a good or bad thing
that’s not hard though so seems winnable
wait.. you guys are getting interviews?
I would always just expect med/hard
Idt many companies ask easier than lc med for new grad
is nc 150 list enough?
I would say so, yes
great
You coudl nc 350 if youd like to
he makes it so easy to learn
such a 🐐
350??
ohs orry im tripping...it was ~350 when it first got released, now its like 434questions 💀
i was refering to "neetcode all"
Sure
Wait they ask lc hards @ intern interviews
wait after how much time did kinaxis reject you
i applied like 2 weeks ago got nothing
damn
sed
some people in this server heard back
i think that guy with the wii avatar pfp
hmm ig I applied late? idk
anyways all good idt I can work in fall term anyways
tbh same
i might just do smth part time if i can but
i'm just gonna go PEY after 3rd year
ah u have co op
i dont
lol
Not many are remote tho
only kinaxis
and they didnt respond
fuck kinaxis
Where u find pt swe work?
splunk already ghosted me lol
One of the only ways of getting an interview I've heard is finessing a recruiter at an event 😭
A first year friend got an internship 
Ottawa on top
bruh all the recruiters at my uni career fair werent even considering first and second yrs lol
same kinda but I got RBC and Cisco interviews
damn
second years people were hiring
first yr?
damn
I was interviewing in like oct last year
Ottawa on top
where u interning rn
a startup, I'm WFH
nice
the only canadian employee
everyone else is NYC or london UK or portugal
nice
yeah mine's a US company but the guy im working under is in germany
Nokia and Ericsson were taking first years
and like second years w no exp
it's really tough because they'd rather a third year or whatever
but it is what it is
does anyone know if you can apply for masters cs without doing an honors spec bachelors
(i.e. bachelors w a thesis component)
you can but I've heard it's a lot harder
your statement on why you are applying for a master's has to be very very good
someone with a PHD in another server
Whats up guys, when are the best times of the year to apply for internships?
as soon as they open, just keep a look out
its BDO paying $36/h for 3rd work term
It has been more than 5 months since I graduated…..still no luck with job :’(
When did you start searching
That’s solid
Damn
We gettting rinsed out here
$32 for 5th term 💀
interview was chill to 30min guy was late and we just talked about hobbies he only gave me 10 min to do technical tho
damn
its a accounting firm
maybe it wont be bad
$20 hr 3rd term
20.80 or 19.48
Nothing hits harder then 19.48 poverty
But 16.99 ppl I feel bad for
0.00 poverty >>>
Because your working for yourself
Instead of for a company
U can grind Lc all day long
That’s my plan
I regret doing a shitty internship
Should’ve taken the summer off to grind full time
Then u ended up playing league all day ?
me rn

I’m gonna take fall off to grind
what a waste of 4 years?
But couldn’t do it bc the clearance didn’t come in time
in time for what
didnt he take half a year just to prep anyways
bro there's a lot of things these unicorn youtubers dont tell you
guy might
Yeah true
've been an IMO kid
or something
he "freelanced" at the MIT biomimetic lab
not hating just that these videos are a waste of time
Yeah lowkey
its like that clement mihaelesciu kid
"swe job in 6 months with bootcamp!"
while the guy has a fucking math degree from a US T20
fuck all of these kids
no
💀
I freelance for an actual college

and like
actually doing things

if pay stubs are needed I can prove
wait did he mean he's like actually freelancing or did he just make a website for the lab or what
nah fr I make $25/hr tutoring 😭
@soft hamlet how u find the startup u work at
Pretty good, why?
Are you going to apply 
Yes gonna steal ur job
But nah like where do u look for small small startup to work for
I find niche discord communities
And then like do some free beta tester stuff
I am a dev at my own company

Consultancy company
If you can find work sure

I'm gonna be registering it next tax year anyways

How u find these niche servers
oh really?
Bad
Startups advertise on each other's servers, you can also look at readcv
https://jobs-emplois.cse-cst.gc.ca/en/node/3538
for those that applied and got interview for CSE, what kinda cover letter did u include 
congrats
CSE
, can you detain people
Only 9 if u think abt it
yeah 
I rlly wanted solace
9 new spots for people to get in
It’s bc of the market
@soft hamlet do u have hourly rate for consulting?
usually I charge project based but I estimate the overall fee based on hourly yeah
mind asking how much
legend
no
Depends on ur experience but from what ive heard anywhere between high 20s to high 50s

bruh i hate this grind i am doing 5 hours a day of driving school 8 hours of work and 1.5 hours commuting
all i can do is sleep
smile
driving school? u tryna speed up getting ur g2?
helo
yikes
makes sense, but 5 hours seems excessive
im just speedrunning it
crazy
yeah luckily i live pretty close to the tech hub
yeah i think i remember u telling me where ish u lived
I live the complete other side
barrhaven gang
im north of barrhaven
so aids
Sadge
i know the feelin
im gonna do courses next semester
yeah i did like 20 hours of work in total in that course
got an A+
breh my parents wont let me drive their car
how am i gonna learn 2 drive without a car
im doing the online portion
rn
im starting the 10 hours next year
no you should do driving school, the insurance savings are worth it
the test is very easy yes
200 for new driver
700 per month???
either that or my parents are getting washed 
what the eff
primary
ur parents are still getting washed
the average is like 2.4k per year bro in ontario
ur getting scammed.
I was in high school, ur acting like time is such a valuable resource in like hs (and in ottawa 👎 )

I'm not a 10x 
leetcode will not make anyone a 10x
like itll help
but it cant turn someone who is like average into a 10x
agreed
im a 1x :)
in the past two days i have been waiting for someone to give me an azure key so i can connect to an event hub
all the actual engineers were conceptualizing a major feature so I swooped in and finished up all the pipeline tests, optimized the CI and fixed up all the small bug tickets

jenkinsfile!
we use playwright + jest on docker with github actions
jest unit tests constantly break for no reason
having to mock responses from like 3 different API

undefined behavior
yeah
do you just use codegen
because I have to write data-testids and stuff


I use codegen and then change it to have more sturdy selectors with dynamic test-id

but the flow is there already
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
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
im working on mission critical stuff
so its super aids
they had me deploy a database the first time i used sql
I'm working on things that can legitimately ruin dev productivity days so 
they made me fix the graphql typing because they had Promise<Any>

in 4 weeks

couple hundo lines average each 
my biggest was ~1k but most of them are couple hundred line tests
I push at least one PR a day
it's cool work tho
i barely be coding bruh
they just told me figure out a major feature you want to implement and we will help you implement it
like ill code for a couple days

and then i have to learn how to do some dumb azure shit
today was just devops stuff

and fixing up some tests that for some reason became flaky
jest 👎
I'm technically SDET but they just told me hey just dev a feature
lol facts
ngl i'd take that in this economy 
wait what did u delete @rotund sierra

i want a job in the us
i want a job in the us
has anyone made any progress with cash app?
my gca score blows dick but I haven't been rejected yet
ryan da goat
Sun 500?
Sub *
It might be just ghost
After bad cga
nooooooo I'm not that brain dead lmao
Isn’t the max 600 now
yeah
Yeah so new 500 is old 700
how is that bad
isnt max 900
I want enterprise or bank or networking

anywhere well paid
yahkuna matada (at wendys) da goat
im a mere bio tech idiot
520
okay
So u might have a shot idk
In the new system we don’t know how much they want
Can you still keep doing gca using that public link
idk how without getting flagged
y'all my friend that graduated last year just told me that he only applied to specifically new grad ft roles 😐
as opposed to what?

as opposed to all the 3+yoe jobs that are the most entry level ones available today
nah I mean he could find enough new grad roles to stick to applying to those
ah
idk that's just wild to me
how much leetcode do i have to do until its enough
150
i just broke 310 do i get a prize?
tutor me 
aii lesson one is struggle for 40 min
then watch neetcode
kk
for 3.99 a week, I'll give u the rest
If anyone happens to be at the AWS Summit in Toronto today, please say hi. (I'm there, and a bit early).
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"
technically yes but you'll probably get blacklisted + if you are in the co-op board at your uni they might kick you out of it
unless it's like gov -> google probably not worth it
I'm graduating soon and this is for ft roles
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
is it a significant pay bump or something
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
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
🤷♂️
alright thank you for the advice!
also when you mention blacklisted I assume you mean for the first company, right?
yes and even that’s not really a guarantee
I will say this company is pretty small so thats not too much of a concern
how do you get internship
RBC posting an internship and saying "masters degree is a nice to have"
have these companies lost it 😭
when the required skills for an intern is a whole it department
🤷not like they'd give me an interview either way
Same
Define peanuts
Same
Its higher than 70 for sure
And the mandatory is 3 days a week which is still horrible
Rbc offered my friend 30 for second coop
But only because he asked them to match another offer
And the other offer was more than 30
RBC intial offer for 3rd coop is 28
Oh damn
I got initial offer as 28.5 for 5th coop
as someone who was sent an offer this morning
Congartz
Rbc second for me was 28
bro what
💀
@novel dome @sour lark got offered 26 by rbc, 3rd coop lol
biggest scammers
This has to be cap lol
I thought Nokia paid like Ericsson
Complete chicken nuggets
i didnt think they paid that well either
no they actually do in Ottawa

28.80 for first co-op
Isn’t Nokia like a 30 min interview
Where they just ask you why you like cs
pretty painless, small thought question
And ask u ur fav programming language
32 is actually nasty
How are companies just talking to u for 30 mins, saying u got an impressive resume and handing out 30 buckeroos an hour for you to push a SEV1 bug into prod your first PR
oh yeah no intern is actually touching networking or protocols. interns are all all basically glorified devops or testing if they are an intern in network infra department
there is a new web dev department now though and that one you actually get to do stuff
Robbery
Broadlight robbery
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
What year r u
Last year
Senior
But this isn’t the average progression, given that 95%+ go to Us for at least one term
At least in 2022
Job market has changed tho
It ain’t the same
Rbc offered $29 for first coop third year student
I got lowballed out of my mind
I'm at here on my first co-op gg ez
I have 5 more terms (I'm non-loo)

US isn't as easy for non loo
Aight so turns out the other interview that I had was a scam
😭
just keep the job you got then
This is crazy
well I'm glad they made that decision for me
The "contract" in question 💀
totally professional
THIS HAPPENED TODAY
BRO ASKED ME 3 QUESTIONS ON THE PHONE THIS MORNING
One of them was "what is a web developer"
😭😭😭😭
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 😭
this seems really low
don't sleep on RBI y'all, paying >37 /hr for your first internship.
Lot of bias in this sub
Lot of average kids out there balancing the try hards
Cap unless it’s in Toronto
It is in Toronto
why would I cap
we're in the Canada channel, where else it would be 
I would assume it's even more in the states
Van
How tf they paying 38
correct.
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
I know, I was shocked to hear this as well
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
Their flight was paid. Pre-covid apparently they housed all the interns, not anymore.
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
and maybe this
😂
bruh
what?
Hi, do you guys know if graduating in August 2024 would fuck up my 2024 new grad job search? I can also graduate in May 2024 but I would miss out of some courses I would like to take.

depending on job cutoff
Doesn't Panago also pay $150k for FTs?
I would say yes.... a lot have summer start time
wait whats bettter may 2024 or later
ion even know
May? so you can start in june?
true
Pls help. Should I accept an offer as a Integration Engineer at MDA or software dev at Siemens EDA in Saskatoon. Same TC
