Yes sir
I’d have to move to Saskatoon
But I want to be a dev as well so idk what to do. Moving to Saskatoon is lame af.
You don’t want to work for a company called Semen
I’m in Van already with tha parents so that won’t be an issue
Def MDA lol
Alternative is you work for a semen manufacturing company and incur a greater cost of living and relo. You’re doing yourself a disservice. Just build the Canandarm like a good boy.
Make the move to Tesla in a few years my G
how lol amz pays like 55 cad or something
many companies pay 40+ that arent faang in canada
ya'll working in canada is actually fucked
no wonder most loo grads go stateside
like we do the same work as american devs
but get paid less and with a currency that's ALSO worth less
kind of a racket ngl
lol
I suspect Canadian salaries are going to increase with the rise of devs moving from the US to Canada due to H1B issues
No data to back it up other than how hard it is to get a H1B now
cope, but fr i hope so too
it’s so sad that people who can’t go to the us stick to low salaries esp in cities like vanc
interesting... not through and through SWE... seems like a highly custom internal tool
What about MDA? It's DevOps?
its more like system engineering.
Hi guys,
Does anybody have experience for java developer technical interview at Citi? if yes, Could you guide me for that what kind of questions are asked as I have a technical round?
Hi guys, am I able to apply for jobs in Canada if I'm a UK citizen or do I need a Visa?
https://www.canada.ca/en/immigration-refugees-citizenship/services/work-canada/iec.html is a good place to start reading
or, short answer, if you're young, you can probably get a working holiday visa and not need an employer or offer lined up beforehand, if you're trying for a relatively short period of time. If your goal is a permanent move that's a bit different, both are explained there
ofcourse there interviews are hard too lol
They’re in early 2022
You don't know how good you have it till it's gone 
How are they hard..?
behavioral threw me off many particular weird questions
oa was like this #canada message
not too sure about technical rounds didnt make it that far
Devs in developing countries be like "First time?"
Wilds
Behavioural is behavioural tho
It’s basically can you be a human for X minutes
Has anyone ever done an internship at the cdpq in Montreal?
feeling bad for my international friendz graduating today
im extending as long as I can
they can stay in the country hopefully they’re not too poor
the post graduate work permit doesn’t require offer
ye its 3 years of stay
from 17/hr

Anyone done coursera OA in the past?
Did you get one?
Ya
When did you apply
My bad I meant to post this in LC discussion, and thank you for the code review 🙂
NG or intern
2 hours before I got the oa (is it not auto?)
Intern
I applied yesterday and nothing yet
Damn
Csis?
can you get me off the no fly list
whats csis lol
where do i apply 😔
oh wait is it mandatory in person ottawa
🤢
fswep site
u upload resume and they auto reach out to u
is this for Canadians only
ahh interesting, i uuploaded my resume but they didnt get back to me
yeah
ya its gov of canada
Gg
its very competitive i just got lucky af
would u mind if i DM u my resume?
just for feedback
but yes it is competitive for sure
also my offer is for 1.5 months only so idk how that'll work lol
cause i returned late from my study abroad
but they said they'll extend for fall
huh sounds more like contract based
dont worry i got ghosted by loblaws for cashier lul
anyone done intact oa, if so what kind of problems
real? maybe they thought you were overqualified
"ai labs hong kong" lul
its probably auto isnt it

mines swe so hopefully i have a chance lol
but i have no info so over fur mich
gg
coffin apartment here we come
wow i think mans using linux
what role
Did the listing for the role close? I cant find it anywhere
I swear Idk how you guys find these new listings so fast
I have linkedin alert set up and get nothing
how do i GTFO canada
marry american
I don't understand cs students obsession with working in the states
Smh
have u heard of this things called money
You can make money in Canada 🎊
U def can
If ur struggling to find a job in Canada, I'm not sure you'll hav much more luck in the states
im not even getting interviews 
what the resume like
lemme dm
equivalent pay for zon engineers 1 1/2 hours away from van in seattle is like a diff of 60k CAD when converted
its actually wild
Isn't medical/dental/vision usually covered? There is deductible but unless you are always sick 
i work at amazon brother
i’ve been around the block
i’m telling u
money ain’t in canada
goes down
lower taxes
cheaper
zon us is more money
- cheaper housing
- lower taxes
- more prestige
bro
it’s facts
cope harder
everyone knows da real monie is in the US
no one comes to canada to make a pretty penny
So you have a job in Canada?
So there is money in Canada?
What are you even arguing then?
Yeah, lol
yo
hi
i’m also developing a taste for finer things in life
so thanks to my lifestyle inflation
i need to make way more money
My original argument is that cs kids seem to have a deeper preoccupation for moving to the stayes
But isn't that supported by your current income anyway?
So why the need to move to the states
and ur telling me this
need more
f
I'm also moving to the states
then WHAT THE FUCK
ARE U DOING
DEFENDING
CANADA
this guy is such a hypocrite
holy
“ya u can make plenty of money in canada but i’m also going to the US”
(he’s going to the us for more minor and prestige)
Yes
no one is hating on anything
he’s saying u can make monie in canada
i’m saying u can’t
You can tho?
that’s the argument
my brother COMPARED TO THE US
Doesn't Amazon pay 6figs?
You're making 7figs in the states?!??
no but ull make more
like 40% more
time to go for a 2nd degree in math
become a quant
make 500k
but i’m stupid

So nice 
looking up rent in canada is fucked
how are people charging 2100 MINIMUM for a studio
on god JAIL is cheaper then that
and at least i get free food in jail
also anyone do Clio intern interview
let’s be real, do ppl actually go to class?
I don't
But you still have to go to tests, quizzes, group project meetings, etc.
what
In Ottawa it's like 1500 CAD
in toronto prolly
bruh seriously, thats mega cheap
yeah in toronto
literally like all round the GTA too
bay street is like 3k a month it's big peanuts

well our salaries are nerfed along with it
like 20% lower
still higher COL : rent ratio than toronto tho
already living in 1 g
i swear ottawa is still pretty expensive too tho
:> living with parents because they are ok w it, I didn't move out for uni
like pretty comparable with toronto
nono our salaries are like 3/4 toronto for ng but col is like 2/3 or even 1/2 in some cases
I guess for like wisconsin or something, yeah it's expensive
you need like minimum 2-2.5k a month to live I'd say
ah thats not too bad in the swe world
but also there are poorer areas, I'm talking about suburbia
yeah that’s true i’m doing a remote internship but i’m just taking 3 online courses and 2 in person which are only exams that i gotta go in for
just gotta choose courses based on their syllabus ig
or you can go gov for like 50-60k a year but you get 60% of salary every year as pension until you die

yeah its almost like an extra 1k in your pocket then compared to living here
tbh for me its 200k or bust state side
cant imagine staying in canada
the opportunity cost is so huge when comparing the wages, even factoring the COL
lots of neighborhood suburbs, "Ottawa" is now like 3 different towns merged into one
one of em is tech/industry, the other is suburbia and then there is main area
I'm technically in Nepean but we just call it Ottawa
On legal papers it's Nepean
yeah but getting a job in the US is hard, it's already hard to get a job in Canada these days
mainly because only t5 schools are actually known, and the US only recognizes like two schools out of that

My uni is technically t8 on a few university rankings but basically no one knows about it
uni name doesn't really matter here but like getting a job in US is harder when no one knows about your uni
bruh what
🤣
the only time ur getting 200k CAD is maybe vancouver or you went to US 💀
or quant but barely many quant in Toronto
tbh, in this economic climate i'd agree to some degree, but most of my interviews were stateside when I was applying for junior and NG positions
and my uni is def not top anything LMAO
what uni 🤨
naw def not CAD, gonna be USD converted over
if u can hold a fork you can?
ok I should start applying to US
local and mid sized canadian aren't biting here for me
oh shit good luck
tyty
resume here, updated my scholarships because I got another one
but everything is the same
you think I stand a chance US 🥺
wait you go york too? I forgor 💀

I just want US job pls gib


same for internships lol, i barely got any canadian interviews
I got RBC and Cisco, nothin else
Lassonde pfp

i got citi that’s all, and zon
"oh yeah, I got zon, totally normal"
yes
bro I gotta be watching out for that zon then because I didn't even apply last year, was closed by the time I started uni or wtv
I applied to MSE
dats it
mse?
microsoft explore
oh right yeah being a junior def helps lol, starting out is hard
I'm going into second year
imma hit up all the freshman/sophomore programs
@boreal sorrel pls review 💀
fair fair, that’s valid, back then i only got a step interview and i flunked it smh
I need to apply to step as soon as it opens
2nd year is low 20s, and I would have to relocate
I'd be making like 3k for the entire summer 
scotia is good pay for sure but you need coop
I'm staying in co-op for one more year
funny schedule
citi for the summer is sick pay too but i think getting selected is rng
wbt fall 
this market sucks lol
I'm scared to do fall/winter terms in two years
never done fall, i have no clue
i applied to only google for fall, incase i get it, i’ll delay grad else i’ll continue lol
upon first glance, yeah bro your resume is stacked af wtf
keep it up big man, wish I had that drive in second year
freelance helping a lot
going into second year, one more year of freelance

can we hold some mf chicken wings together? what's goin on with that again
cause im actually so down to muck up some wings
intern pay looks so little compared to freelance I cry
is freelance worth?
very much so

I'm making more than 2x in freelance per hour than my current internship
did you like start on fiverr or straight to upwork?

I can dm
how much is citi pay
bro we had a course almost completely plagiarized word4word from york
well not plagiarized but the content was xtremely similar cuz the prof was the same
like 42 an hour ish
ye ye
pretty straightforward, trivia shit, no lc
wordpress but still a fair amount of custom PHP because off the shelf stuff is usually garbage
because I want to override
trying to get the prof to let me in
my other courses are too boring I wanna skip to 4th year
carleton must be rlly chill if we have literal first years tryna do 3rd year courses
nah
its this Z section
that lets u do all of first year cs in one term
so nerds like ryan
can take 4th year by second year
i doubt they will be able take
that 4th year course 4601 is only avaiable in fall
and kids like ryan would only be able to take it in 2nd year witner
hmm
oh wtf thats massive lol
who wanna review my resume
drop it
oke thank u lads
u can work in us?
thats nice
yeah it wasn’t lc
ikr, def would have taken that(i accepted that and reneged)
that’s what i’m doing rn, j1 baby
what did u reneg for?
I'm at Citi rn and after talking to others, I don't think they asked lc questions to anyone but the difficulty of trivia-style technical questions varied a lot between us
Is citi tech stack good
faAng
yeah for me they did a lot based on my interests which was nice
most java + spring
yep 🥲
Yo
for me it was like random basic Java questions
for me it was os and db stuff i enjoy both of them
yeah i would fail if it was this lol
there’s no chance for international with work permit to work in the US right?
just want somebody to say it to me
ur still in uni
i mean there’s not so much i can do
In terms of sponsorship yeah
Unless ur the second coming of Einstein
and they desperately want u
….
Otherwise they alr got intls within the US gunning for internships
does apple hire interns in canada
I think Apple has to reach out to u
wow
idk, i haven’t seen anybody interning there in CA
yes but someone in the team has to recommend you
each team at apple has their own hiring procedures and whatnot

scam?
interesting, how do u know tho
there are apple FTs that came to my uni during networking nights
that’s dope
it's literally impossible to find someone though that is willing to recommend you hard enough to get you hired 
LOL
each team has different procedures and stuff, and apparently you even have to get your linkedin stuff past HR LOL
it's very tightly closed
apple hires in mtl office lol but nothing really open public
linkedin stuff?
like what you write on linkedin about apple and stuff

like for example the desc that you put on your job entry
literally 1984
I mean, they’re still on top
because of this apparently apple employees get bombarded with connections
people trying to get referred
good to know how it works
😎😎😎
pretty bad rn, you should be applying right away
I had harvard and kinaxis last week
oh, for internships during master's you should be fine. New grad is kinda bad rn, but should stabilize by the time you are done your master's
I had fucking starbucks barista this week🥸
which founder looked at me 😂
did a founder at momentive look at me, like what 🤨 8.2% 😂
google searched me
I had citadel before 
yeah it’s hard but bigger companies do it fo sure
harder to get into them 
obviously
yep, vancouver mostly
not really
it’s harder to get into them regardless where you are from, but if you do, they sponsor lol
i have two terms left and i grad, i can’t wait smh
what faang r u gonna work for?
^
if i get a return i’ll stick to faang
else jump away to some company that hires in canada
🍌?
❌

nah
like not even top 7
:> only loo and u of t are target
i think my uni comes under top 7 ig but not target for sure
there’s like 8 in canada it’s not hard to be top 7
loo, u of t, ubc, mgill, maybe simon frasier, everything else is mid
15<
my school is technically t8 in CS but no one knows about it lol
are we in the same school
no
mcgill is cool
loo mostly from my exp lol it’s insane how much they hire from loo
loo and u of t are the only ones that actually propel
ubc and mcgill have a good name
everything else mid
I think Carleton might have a higher employment rate, but Carleton doesn't release numbers so idk
most companies locally didn't stop hiring
200 Nokia summer interns
LOL
but you have a lot of good ops lol
grad students typically have their own category for co-ops
yeah but they get a shit ton of exp they end up higher on a avg
but yes in theory you can apply to bachelor's internships
so it doesn’t matter either way
and js’s fall cohort is like only loo kids
we weren’t talking about grad school were we
nope
i though it was coop lol got dragged into the wrong convo
waterloo infrared
70 PER YEAR
thats engineering fees
rotman is the biggest scam
i think
10k is a fair bit of money
wtf?
is that all inclusive
or base tuition
theres no way
maybe 2023-2024
oh
...
Carleton is better than waterloo
did you guys get hackerrank from cse?
Somebody gotta pin a thing telling people not to ask about cse
They will probably ask you who else knows about your application
And you dont want the answer to be 75k strangers on discord
Snm
Reported
U sure abt that
CU is t1
Calgary >
💀
yall not ready for this convo
uh huh
insane
don’t people who drop out of uft go to york
lol
i mean that’s what i’ve read on reddit
why u hear something back?
why
biggest cope ive ever seen

I'm an aspiring jane street window cleaner engineer
some schools r just gooder than others
hahahah

but I want to experience 10x FAANGineer

jkjk
ima just apply to fall 2023 roles for the OA practice
i said i would be down there's just a solid chance i would drop it lol
what are you taking again?

2401, 2001, 2804, 2507, 2605
2605 and 2804 r the only ones that might be hard
so depends on them
his slides are somehow more useless than his lectures

carleton >>>>>> tbh
is it possible to still get interview if failing all test cases
what if my code was correct except for 2 lines


if you get rejected doesn't that count against the summer 2024 cooldown?
Average Google OA receiver hairline
Wait are google OAs even out yet?
People are interviewing already
Damn guess I got rejected then, applied as soon as app went out with a referral and nothing
Supposedly only people who got reached out to got OAs. Don’t know how true that is
Black mirror
Wtf?
There have been interviews trickling throughout
But like team matching has been scarce to non existent
what kind of profiles
r getting these offers
cuz i sure as shit didnt hear back 😠
Hi Guys
I am new to Discord and this community as well. I have an engineering experience back from India and little bit here as well. Your guidance in learning the tech and help in applying different jobs will be appreciated.

i only saw it because of my boy aaron paul
absolute chad
Has anyone interviewed with interac?
Interview for Interac is pretty normal

-6
dog shit project
dogshit tech stack
dogshit tooling
dogshit everything
BUT
AND RHERES A BIG BUTT
good pay
dogshit environment too
good pay tho
that’s the only thing keeping me here
everything else is subpar asf
there’s a reason why these companies pay the big bucks
no one would work here if paid like other companies
ofc no one else would tell u this cuz they wanna up hold the “faang” image to their frens
but idgf
eh
my call back rate ain’t that diff
4month at amazon ain’t much
sobbing after i applied to their scholarship
im bias but imma say definitely yes
ya 💀 tbh i half assed it
you do crazy shit at amazon, some projects are like part of tier 1 services like ddb
even if your project is trash, the amount of oas doesnt matter - its how many people that get in that matters
APART OF THE MAJORITY!!!
they also have one of the biggest intern cohorts out there
hows life
not i. applied last week for fall
Same
Which job is this?
not good
yo they payin 70k at lockheed in nova scotia
what the actual fuck
worth it to move ?
yes if it costs like 20k a year to live there 💀
boring place tho
even more boring than Ottawa
apply regardless bro
if you get it you live like a king, just be terminally online to relieve your sense of loneliness
No no like hr recruiter told me 70k
or maybe pick up a side hustle of farming potatoes
not worth it
I think so too lol
70k after taxes is 50k
2k a month to live there 
Yeah I saw that omfg
that's surprisingly high
This is for Ottawa lol
it's literally the same but you get lower pay than Ottawa 💀
wait nah Ottawa rent is more than 1.1k bruh
Ya it’s atrocious
maybe most people are renting singular rooms but if you want like an apartment it's like 1.3k
This is for junior devsecops engineer
bruh
dev security ops?
Yes
1st time ever heard of it lol
Sounds interesting could be a good one if it wasn’t in Halifax
sec could be fun but u need to make sure ur actually coding
some sec jobs don’t involve coding at all
Ya absolutely
just go farm potatoes
probably happier than the average 10x FAANGineer after sitting at his desk for 16 hours
Bro I already farm
I’m growing jalapeños hot yellow peppers
I’m growing Roma tomatoes and basic and rosemary
Me too
Herbs are net win
I'd be using $5 every time I cook 😭
Genovese basil is so Expensive for like 20 leaves and you can get that in a week of growin
Legend
I made pasta with the genovese basil
But I’m looking forward to the Roma tomatoes coming back
my grandma has so many tomatoes that she has to cook w them every day at their peak
idk why she planted so many
Your grandma a legend fr fr
So Halifax the move ??
Rent is crazy high
Loool my co-op told us we could go hybrid from full time in office
and then today they were like ya nvm
and pay is basically minimum wage
like okay guys
definitely makes us want to convert to full time
ur missing the building dashboards part 🐒
hello Mr cracked ryan
u poor mfs
low pay + shitty tech stack (i.e rewriting c++03 to c++14, ik someone who did that)
and they flexed about it too
humans are weird creatures
tech stack is fine but like bruh just how u gonna say u can go hybrid then be like sike! and then be upset when im not coming back for fall
someone
Lockheed like that ??
Right
yes
depends what city too
like 27 is like 90th percentile in ottawa
yeah it is
cuz ottawa sucks
for dev coop?
yeah
god damn
i think for ft they bump it by 30k
rlly??
@lapis tide
also you have to think about who is respodning to those?
like im talking about specifically working in ottawa
@lapis tide
act7ally this is higher than reported for RBC
they are people who want to respond to these
and TD
im saying, probably people who are good will respond
like ik someone with me who is making 18 on his 5th work term

Also yeah look at the companies as well. Most of these are pretty good
And 12 month positions too right
also makes sense
yeah i think the response bias is pretty obvious here
yeah exactly
but still can't completely discount it
