[steel escarp]

Debatable

[fickle juniper]

Cardboard box in West van vs Mansion in Calgary

Similar price

[steel escarp]

I cant argue w that

[fickle juniper]

Fr tho $500 per month is insane

That’s like how much I spend on food

It is 500 cad right?

[lusty roost]

Oh thats sick

[lusty roost]

being on one of those chair things above that crowd seems dope af i wanna try that

fuck being part of that crowd tho lmao way too many ppl

[fickle juniper]

Wow that’s great ur getting rain

It’s so hot and dry in the west coast

[boreal sorrel]

cali is just too exp

[steel escarp]

Bruh u guys are working the stateee

American dream uwu

[fickle juniper]

Im actually pretty surprised at 2k only, my impression was that itd be way more

Like considering the usual bump for being in HCOL doesn’t seem that bad

Seattle would be like 2k for a studio

[boreal sorrel]

2k is not too bad tho

same maybe a bit higher for socal, seems like around 2.4k

[vivid fiber]

The area I'm in isn't gr8

But it's close to work

and close to grocery stores and the bus

So imo not terrible

[boreal sorrel]

which city is this?

[vivid fiber]

I'm in San Francisco

[boreal sorrel]

holy shit 2k sf is sweet i think

as long as ur not in tenderloin

[vivid fiber]

Nah not that bad lmaooo

[boreal sorrel]

haha but like idk if i could stay in mission or something for 2k, id easily go

but its like impossible

oh lol

hmm close to work? i stayed at mission for a week long event, thats my only point of reference

[vivid fiber]

Ye close to work

A surprising amt of tech offices are here

Discord's office is nearby

[boreal sorrel]

i only know of notion

for mission

but i wont be surprised if there are more

[vivid fiber]

Yea, I feel like it's mostly startups here

[analog current]

Ya im gonna cook but i mean in terms of ingredients

[vivid fiber]

I like eggs, spinach, chicken, potatoes, peppers, rice, tomatoes

I like cheese

[analog current]

I like cheese too

[tough knot]

I searched up cohere 💀

[echo pilot]

ig it worked my guy 😁

did you get OA? i can tell u my experience

i also see you're in utmist, st george mans out here

is there any reason besides the pay?

[tough knot]

Work seems interesting primarily, really why do you say that?

[echo pilot]

Dm

[lunar sandal]

How’d u land cohere

I’ve seen people work there and checked out their past experience and to be honest, hiring seemed pretty random

Considering it’s founder worked on the transformers paper

lol i wonder how much huawei is paying for ng

theres this one guy in my office that is like

bachleors in china -> masters in oxford -> phd at cambridge (or swapped i dont totally rmb) -> some postgrad research at stanford

and now dudes just chillin in the office

[earnest mortar]

it's pretty decent, above 100

[oblique quiver]

damn

chinaman pipeline

[placid dawn]

got 2 offers both 20$ hr

bru how tf yall find them $50 hr internships

[cunning lake]

Slow progression

[earnest mortar]

home depot?

[placid dawn]

startup

i do like startups

but i hate that theyre all broke

[analog current]

tsinghua?

[placid dawn]

should i leave health canada (boring) for a no name startup (fun)

or is the name more valuable on resume

hc is boomer stuff but everyone knows it

[cunning lake]

Aim for valuable names

After the economy gets better you will get better jobs

[oblique quiver]

dont know

not really sure what his progression is

[delicate cedar]

What's your current position and tc?

[oblique quiver]

but he did theoretical physics for a lot of his uni stuff

studied string theory

shit like that

[placid dawn]

fulltime and $18hr💀💀

startup would be 22 or so

but i can negotiate hc for that as well

[delicate cedar]

its not an internship? wtff but what role dev?

[worthy fjord]

they finessing lol

[placid dawn]

oh ye intern

37.5hrs

part time technically i guess

[wheat comet]

wtf bro

theyre finessing like crazy with that pay

[fickle valley]

did anyone apply to the machine learning position frm autodesk?

[oblique quiver]

it sounds pretty cool

if you like setting up systems and all that kinda stuff

[boreal sorrel]

i would, i actually heard back from a company recently for a similar role

[pallid reef]

fall?

[pale lichen]

Dev ops is hard af, I don't have the patience for it. Respect to anyone doing it tbh

[hot rapids]

Probably good to try it out in an internship to see what you would really enjoy. The problem with Devops/Platform roles is that your responsibilities can be really different depending on the org.

[pale lichen]

True, I think if that's the kinda stuff you're into then you should give it a shot.

It might get tuff if you work at a big corp where they have hundreds of devOps and your individual impact is not that big anymore

[fickle valley]

no it was posted in june a few weeks ago

was wondering if anyone heard back for this position or how long it takes to hear back, i got rejected from some other autodesk positions that i applied to later on but not the MLE one yet

[soft hamlet]

I'm considering it lowkey

The thing it isn't a set in stone role

some dev ops is glorified tester position

I do CI/CD, testing and feature development

A lot of things are low effort high return when things aren't optimized quite right

[magic perch]

Spent a collective 9 hours across 4 stages with a company (that I applied with referral), felt like I did alright, and 3 weeks after final they still need another week for a decision. Being rejected would be disheartening 😭

Because that's so many hoops to succeed (effectively get lucky) through and I somehow managed it for this one, but that def won't happen very often again anytime soon with another good company.

[tight gale]

[soft hamlet]

for me I'm just like optimizing test suites, sharding/parallelism, etc

speed is 50% faster

also costs 20-25% less

[pallid reef]

can u send the link, I couldn't find it on their website lol

[fickle valley]

yes

one sec

https://autodesk.wd1.myworkdayjobs.com/en-US/Ext/job/Machine-Learning-Engineer_23WD70651-2

[pallid reef]

it's a full time position

isn't it?

1+ years of experience with deep learning and generative models

[fickle valley]

Yes

I am wondering if anyone heard back

[pallid reef]

so it's not an internship

alright

[supple quiver]

anyone interview with konrad?

[candid obsidian]

if youre interviewing for konrad look up their interview questions on glassdoor, theyll ask you them word for word

[supple quiver]

💀

did u interview with them?

summer 2024

its a uoft internship

[candid obsidian]

yeah i interviewed with them for ft like the last 2 months

[supple quiver]

was it difficult

[candid obsidian]

no, phone screen was easy then onsite was word for word the questions you can find online just study them and be able to speak well and then the takehome is just a mix of react/vanilla js/fetch api stuff and a little css

then you meet with the founder after before offer and they do references lol

but thats for ft, i think intern might just be screen then a takehome

[supple quiver]

got it

[candid obsidian]

regardless tho from people i have talked to and read online if you are a backend guy make sure you communicate that throughout the process or youre getting fucked on a takehome

cus its alllll frontend

so you get some leniency if they know youre backend

[supple quiver]

alright that's good to know

[candid obsidian]

office is nice tho and they have a bar where people booze throughout the day

[real storm]

LMAOOO

that take home was honestly fucked for someone that does cloud and backend

[worldly ridge]

@candid obsidian whats konrads ng tc now?

my friends ng 3 to 4 years ago was 85k, just curious if they bumped it

[candid obsidian]

if i wasnt fullstack with mostly frontend work i wouldve been fucked

[candid obsidian]

i didnt get offer but iirc the range was like 85-100 i think

[worldly ridge]

oo dam konrad be paying 6 fogss

figss

thanks 🙂

goodluck on ur job search if u r still searching

[candid obsidian]

theyre also in office tues/thurs for engineering teams if anyone is curious about that or thats what they told me which sucks if you want remote

[candid obsidian]

you too my man

[real storm]

dude that's a blessed combo for take home

congrats on doing well for the take home

[candid obsidian]

haha thanks didnt get offer anyways tho but ive heard they sometimes just dont hire even if you do really well so idk

Bru r u a highschooler

If ur program starts in September it’s basically impossible

[lucid bobcat]

Yo anyone know about polar asset management partners

[analog current]

Just use the time u have to get a headstart on projects and basic DS&A

[oblique quiver]

Lmao dw abt it so early

[tight gale]

Your 10?

[analog current]

no more summer co ops are open so u wont be able to get one before september, its gonna be hard but work on ur resume and apply for fall/winter coops and target underclassman internships and ones u qualify for

which are very very few and with the current economy waaaaay more competitive than usual

and usual is pretty competitive

oh brother

ok

uhh

ya just apply bro ur chilling

some fall co ops are still open

[tight gale]

Oh some guy used ms before for middle school

Back to Back J1 Visa for US internships

Hi everyone, basically I’m interning now in the US on J1 and got another internship offer for the fall. I will have full time status cuz I’ll take 3 online classes in fall. Do you know if I get can get a second J1 visa? I found mixed info online. I’m not in coop tho. Thanks!

[tight gale]

Lmao wtf

[hallow urchin]

I'm so scareddddd

[oblique crater]

LMFAO

pay $20 to get rejected in 1-2 business days

[meager cairn]

well if it’s unpaid I’d hope so

[somber cedar]

over 300 applications and no job 🤣

[cunning lake]

thanks! Does it have to be "full time for current term" or "full time for the term im interning"

cuz you can't be full time for summer at my school

it's for fall 2023

but now my school doesn't have coop

I have a letter saying "full time for fall 2023" tho

im interning now

[hasty crow]

this is remarkably insane

[cunning lake]

for summer no, for fall yes

yikes

thanks for the info tho, i will try

were you full time in summer?

gotcha

just curious did cultural vistas emphasize on "current term full time"?

the other option for me is to apply for a J1 extension

thanks, i will talk to CV

anyone here done the oa for Squarepoint Capital

[placid sky]

Do I have to be a full time student to get an US internship position? or being a part time is OK too? what about for Canadian positions?

[proud glade]

afaik most jobs dont care (mostly canada, ive seen some us as well)

only guideline ive ever seen is "must graduate by [date]"

but nothing like "must be a full time student" or whatever

[odd nest]

For the visa I think you need to be full time

[placid sky]

thanks guys! I am being ghosted anyways so i’ll just keep applying

[odd nest]

Anyone have to apply under a TN visa?

My company is petitioning for a TN rather than a J-1

[hot rapids]

Isn’t that for full time roles?

Since you need the relevant bachelors degree

Pretty sure you need the J-1 culture visa if you’re interning, which requires sponsorship

https://www.reddit.com/r/uwaterloo/comments/oods5b/why_do_some_companies_in_the_us_use_tn1_visa_for/?utm_source=share&utm_medium=ios_app&utm_name=ioscss&utm_content=1&utm_term=1

Seems like there’s a weird loophole Tesla does

On paper you legally need the full degree 😬

[maiden elm]

ya

[proud glade]

how was it? I can't find any problems on the leetcode bot in here 😅

[maiden elm]

LC medium and a debugging

[proud glade]

ahh how was the debugging? any advice on how to prep for that

gonna spend the next 5 days going through lc 75 again and then do the oa

but i didnt expect debugging

[maiden elm]

It’s not too bad, good if u have exp with OOP and general debugging skills

[proud glade]

hmmm, should be okay then. Thanks chief! I'll do my best:)

[maiden elm]

Goodluck!

[tight gale]

ng?

[proud glade]

nah

fall intern

[odd nest]

Yeah idk

They said it’s easier to convert people to full time with a TN visa

[odd nest]

I’m in exactly the same situation as this guy

[proud glade]

i applied for fall 2023

nw g

[zenith bobcat]

yo guys, i graduate in December 2023. Should I start looking for a job right now? or should I wait for the market to get better?

[earnest mortar]

i think u already know the answer to that question

[boreal sorrel]

now

[oblique crater]

what are you even asking

should you apply now or should you not apply at all?

or you mean delay graduation

[zenith bobcat]

i mean, should i start applying for jobs right now, or should i apply after i have graduated

[boreal sorrel]

like rn usually before grad

but do it after too if u need to

i grad may 2024 and i’ve been applying

[zenith bobcat]

i see, cause i heard the market is not very good. I was wondering if i can get a better job if i just wait for market to recover.

[boreal sorrel]

it isn’t good but why would you wait, what’s the harm in applying to open positions now

unless you aren’t prepared for interviews yet, it shouldn’t stop you from applying

[zenith bobcat]

i see, that makes sense

thanks!

[proud glade]

just did the squarepoint capital oa

7 questions

6 of them were really easy

last one is an hour long debugging

wasnt able to fix a single thing

chat, am i retarded ?

[loud belfry]

😭

[lunar sandal]

this book is extremely outdated

and tbh, not helpful for OA

DFS, BFS, implementation, intervals, greedy, DP.

basically, OA is all algorithmic

if mans cant even get thru the algorithm round u cant expect to apply the data struct shit u learn in CTCI 💀

[proud glade]

u didnt have to come 4 my throat

its okay i took an L on the debugging problem but ill be better prepared for next time because of it

speaking of debugging problems though what resources do u guys recommend to practice for debugging problems

clearly there was some gap in my knowledge for that part of the oa

[wheat comet]

why does scotia do this aids application process

[soft hamlet]

Print statements

[proud glade]

[soft hamlet]

May not be the most efficient method

But

It's very effective

Comment out everything and reintroduce parts

[soft hamlet]

Web dev or something else?

[proud glade]

the one in the squarepoint capital oa was a python oop project

i oughta just practice more python oop

[soft hamlet]

Python OOP is a bit funky

[proud glade]

yeah

it happens dawg i just didnt practice enough this time around

next time ill practice more and itll be ez mode

luckily though the leetcode problem i had to do was super easy

[oblique quiver]

be me, sees squarepoint

grad 24 only

welp

[tight gale]

Apply anyway

[mental monolith]

How u doing man

Also 2023 grad right

Still searching?

[proud glade]

i got the OA even tho my resume says 2023 grad

apply anyway

[eternal fossil]

No dude

I’m expired goods

[mental monolith]

mood

7 months still no offer

well i'm sort of close to 1 i think

it's "dev" on paper but after talking more to them

it feels more like sales with dev sprinkled on top of it

but i think at this point i'll take what i can get

[tight gale]

Nah hang in there man, entry level just stipulates <1 YOE so can always go for those

[lunar sandal]

I think employers should be easing up on the yoe thing

cuz FAANG layoff saturated talent market

[mental monolith]

well they can afford not to

[lunar sandal]

true.

[mental monolith]

with the influx of supply lol

[tight gale]

There's always new meat

[lunar sandal]

:dead:

FUCK

[mental monolith]

i might need to relocate for this

but at this point any income > no income

so if i get the offer i might take it

[hot rapids]

Also the 10,000 H1B thing filled up in 48 hours lol

[normal jetty]

Yes, other cities are easier

[worldly ridge]

I dont blame em

I would so do that then get deported

I think it affects more mid level / seniors than us?

[hot rapids]

Does that push existing job seekers who are competing with h1b p to entry level roles

Hope the mid level doesn’t trickle down

[oblique quiver]

Could be auto OA tho

And I doubt they’d higher younger cos I’m a smol boy but maybe

[worldly ridge]

that I dont know

hoepfully not

[proud glade]

[broken whale]

[proud glade]

how real is this dude i aint even had my first internship and im graduating in the fall

[eternal fossil]

Funny how I read this exact comment a few days ago and it’s what’s been swirling in my brain

[normal jetty]

It’s probably behavioral questions

[lunar sandal]

it is pretty real

[proud glade]

jeez dude so really on a scale of 1 to 10 how doomed am i

[lunar sandal]

and its not just u, its a lot of people rn

[proud glade]

yeah true

[lunar sandal]

jobs either not paying enough

or just ghosting

[proud glade]

[vast aspen]

7

[lunar sandal]

its a bad time to be new grad/ 1 YOE

[broken whale]

[proud glade]

so what ur saying is delaying graduation is a valid strat

[lunar sandal]

yeah most def LMAO

[proud glade]

might need to look into that

[broken whale]

what if market is still down in 2025?

[lunar sandal]

5 yrs is p common in canada

[proud glade]

5 years? im in my third year

[lunar sandal]

im saying

5 yr total

[proud glade]

ye

lots of runway time

but wtf do i do if my bachelor is practically done

theres no more comp classes i can take

[lunar sandal]

how u hava a year left

[proud glade]

pick up a minor?

not a year i just have a semester

1 comp class left

on turing machines

[lunar sandal]

yeah but

wait what

so ur 4th year?

[broken whale]

it's going to be my 5th year next year in may 24. shoudl i extend my graduation even further?

[proud glade]

nah its my third year

cegep

quebec

thats why its a little weird

[lunar sandal]

extend it to 10 years to be safe

[lunar sandal]

ahhhh

[proud glade]

but yeah im gonna need to schedule some time with my advisor

what do u guys think

[lunar sandal]

yeh do a minor or coop if u can afford

[proud glade]

a minor?

i cant do a coop in my uni

[broken whale]

makes sense. I should keep interning till the market is back up

[proud glade]

(garbage uni mcgill university)

[lunar sandal]

dude mcgill isnt bad

its literally top 4 canada

[proud glade]

yeah im playin i just meant for COOP

mcgill dont offer no coop program

[normal jetty]

It has IYS

[boreal sorrel]

same for me lol but y’all be better

[proud glade]

wtf is IYS

Hi has anyone interviewed for a Software Dev intern position at BMO? Would love to ask you a few questions to prepare for my own

[stoic skiff]

[tough knot]

I don’t think coop is even worth anymore (for the extra cost), even if I get it might just decline tbh

[paper socket]

In this economy, do everything you can to increase chances. Being in a coop program increases chances.

[fierce lotus]

It helps a bit imo especially if you do it during winter or fall term

[lapis beacon]

waterlooworks in the mud

[wheat comet]

DN

scotia application process 😟

[placid dawn]

coop cost is 1k at my uni

[topaz glade]

You could always just change the grad date on your resume, most employers aren't going to investigate it

[cunning lake]

mcgill's coop portal is trash. Like literally it tells you to apply externally

[proud glade]

regardless fellas i dont qualify for it

gotta figure out another way lol

idk like im grateful for the prestige mcgill provides

[paper socket]

@cunning lake Goes to McGill and got Google, and other unicorns. U just need to try harder

[proud glade]

u not wrong bro

im not gonna stop trying regardless of what i feel about the school

[cunning lake]

I don’t think McGill is why I got these offers. But finding the right people at the right places is.

[paper socket]

Networking right

[cunning lake]

I met my mentor on LinkedIn (not joking). I’m grateful for the mentoring

The my mentor introduced me to the resources and the other people who are grinding

[cunning lake]

Feel free to dm if you’d like to. Glad to meet other McGill students

[proud glade]

got it boss!

[cunning lake]

But like do I know you MonkeyBalls?

[tough knot]

It’s 3600 at mine 💀

[rain delta]

whats the chances of me finding an american job that will sponsor me for a TN visa in current economy

serious question btw, im trying to live in america with my fiance and the K1 visa is gonna take 2 years at this rate, so was wondering what my chances with getting a TN visa were

[worldly ridge]

r u anew grad?

[rain delta]

yes

[worldly ridge]

tougher den last year i guess, but never noe till u try

[odd nest]

My company is doing a TN visa but this is for an internship

[ancient tartan]

can TN visa be used for internship?

I thought it's only for fte

since there is J1 visa for Canadian student to intern in US

[odd nest]

Yeah apparently it can be, there’s some classifications that someone without a degree can go under

[ancient tartan]

icic

[pallid reef]

it’s really cool, did u get referred to google?

[cunning lake]

yes

[pallid reef]

can i dm you?

it’s not about g referral lol

[cunning lake]

Sure

[tight gale]

Have you started?

Still waiting to match

[pallid reef]

aren’t you ft

[tight gale]

Yes

[tight gale]

Yo how's it going, can always try to internal transfer to US team

[marsh summit]

Hi guys, anyone here interned as a solution architect or at least got interviews? I would like to ask some questions

Thank you

[fickle juniper]

Are u a new grad?

Oh rip nvm u answered that alr

I think it’s possible but hard

If u have absolutely no choice I’m sure you’ll find a way

But in general I would say I wouldn’t bank on it

[vivid fiber]

No one can say for certain

If you hav prev experience at a big tech company then prob

[calm elm]

What’s the market looking like for new grads

[vast aspen]

bad

[polar dust]

To be honest i dont fully get why company are reluctant to hire canadian under TN

there isnt a cap like h1b and they only have to provide paperwork?

[fickle juniper]

Its not that they're reluctant, its just another process that they need to be setup for

[polar dust]

i see

[fickle juniper]

So if they're not setup for it, they'd rather avoid it. If that wasn't the case ofc they'd love to also be able to hire Canadians

[vivid fiber]

Also lawyer fees

[shy scaffold]

TN is also unreliable isnt it

the NAFTA designation is for "engineers" and if you have a CS degree your not an engineer

its easy to be turned away from the border if you don't say the exact right words

[vivid fiber]

Not necessarily

Their is a clause that says any related field is suitable

But if you say the wrong things or the guard is super tough you may not go through

[fickle juniper]

its actually quite simple if the lawyers are competent

like it's a very routine process afaict

but the fact that you need lawyers as part of the process is where it gets hard for some companies

[placid dawn]

is getting a job in the us basically impossible now

[tranquil goblet]

anyone know when microsoft winter 2024 interviewing starts?

[stoic knot]

Why do you feel that?

[lunar sandal]

companies realize USA already brimming with talent no need to issue as many H1Bs and TNs

[normal jetty]

Not missing out on much

[odd nest]

You wouldn’t be going under engineer

For internships we qualify under scientific technician

And your company should give you lawyers

[pallid reef]

do u guys already hear back for summer 24?

[normal jetty]

Interesting , first time I’ve heard this approach

[odd nest]

some companies wont get J1 for canadians
"They will get us TN instead because this is much faster/cheaper and higher chance of approval. Yes, you cant call yourself as an “engineering” intern due to TN visa specifications. Just tell them you are “scientific tech” and they will let u in." - someone that works there rn

thats just where im going tho ik microsoft does J-1

[normal jetty]

Nice nice

[placid dawn]

probly ezest job in the world

[somber cedar]

340 apps, 3 interviews, 0 offers, 2 rejects and 1 ghost

how are your apps going

[odd nest]

had ~450 before an offer

[analog current]

Are these for new grad?

[oblique crater]

bro even in the good years it would be mainly zon and some hfts posting about now

[oblique crater]

that's my point, relax about the summer 24 postings it's not even August 2023 yet, stock market is doing better and inflation is down i think hiring budgets will improve

[worldly ridge]

what are your predictions for entry level roles

[oblique crater]

they're the first to get cut and the last to come back into the picture so it might take a bit more than a quarter or two of good results to see the job postings go up for early careers but it's inevitable

should be safer than last year for sure

not really

internship return is the most successful way but there are ng roles just not right now lol

[tight gale]

Yea I feel bad for you

[pallid reef]

zon is not out tho

[analog current]

they’re not hiring this year

[pallid reef]

i’ll trust the duck man

[placid dawn]

time to move over to wealthsimple

[pallid reef]

lol

that’s the place

you don’t know html, i’m not interested

[tight gale]

why are you posting here

do you think employers are browsing #canada or something

[lunar sandal]

Boot camp grad spotted

[robust lotus]

gonna need ur sin to get my $$ etransfer verified

[oblique quiver]

you're better off spamming recruiters on linkedin lmao

or maybe talk to yakuna ottawa i think he does some freelancing work

[hasty crow]

huh? 💀

[analog current]

https://tenor.com/view/yup-uhuh-duh-ryan-reynolds-gif-17994133

how’re you sure tho 🥲

for 2024 internships?

[analog current]

inside intern info...tho not 100% sure

[analog current]

apparently

[hasty crow]

banking on you being wrong duck man

[analog current]

im hoping im wrong too

https://tenor.com/view/duck-yeah-gif-20435370

[vivid fiber]

Idk if I believe it personally

I could believe a reduced head count

But hiring no interns at all seems crazy

[hasty crow]

yeah 😂

[weak gazelle]

zon

[timid tartan]

Yeah I think this is true.
(I'm currently at Amazon as an intern btw)

[fickle juniper]

wow that's insane

this time last yr folks were talking about amazon like as a last resort backup

[timid tartan]

Lol there’s a possibility that none of the interns will actually get the return offers this time

At least according to what I have read internally so far

Let alone external applicants

[fickle juniper]

damn

wish you the best of luck

[acoustic agate]

every ontario 2025 grad is banking on zon 2024 atp

its bout to be a movie when apps open up

[flint sequoia]

Got an offer pushed to April should I trust the company and enjoy the time off or go hard on applications

New grad

[flint sequoia]

Fuhhh

There’s no jobs💀

[timid tartan]

It’s fine, I came into the internship assuming there are no return offers anyway

Pessimistic approach but at least I won’t disappoint myself 🤷🏻‍♂️

[fickle juniper]

At least u are cracked af, you'll get something for new grad

[flint sequoia]

Has anyone done a OA for @simplify and is it automatic ?

[upper ridge]

does simplify even have any positions open for entry/new grads?

[flint sequoia]

Simplify VMS I think is their full name

Not to be confused with Simplify

[odd pike]

Does anyone know how the job market is for 1 yoe? Is it as bad as new grad? My company recently had a lay-off. Even though I survived, I’m thinking about hopping to somewhere a little more stable.

[upper ridge]

Nothing is as bad as a new grad/no exp though I would say it's still really bad from what I heard. If I were you, I would keep staying or save up and take a really long break until things are clearly picking up

[odd pike]

Yea, thanks. I think I’ll start low key interviewing while staying at this job.

[upper ridge]

Probably the smartest plan, just make sure you dont get caught

[dark lintel]

Folks is there a list of 2024 grad posting for Canada?

Or just not that many companies have opened in Canada for 2024 new grad yet

[worldly ridge]

For you maybe, Im thriving

[dark lintel]

yahkuna matada you are still here @worldly ridge

[worldly ridge]

good 🙂 how r u friend

[dark lintel]

Alright I'm back at the game for 2024 grad

[worldly ridge]

I remember your offer got rescinded some time ago, were you able to land anything afterwards

[dark lintel]

yeah I extended my grad date to 2024 and found myself an internship to get through this year

wbu are you man are you looking for jobs too

smart decision

[worldly ridge]

thats honestly likely the smarter choice hope 2024 gets better and ull be able to land soomething

I actualy landed my FT job months before the downturn, Im just tyring to dodge layoffs rn. I would give a referal but my companys not hiring any NG t_t

how much is ur masters tuition in Canada?

[dark lintel]

Oh dam congrats!!

yeah no worries, also seems like nobody is hiring juniors rn

[worldly ridge]

wasnt it like 300k USD in the US

[worldly ridge]

godspeed brother

[timid tartan]

[dark lintel]

[vivid fiber]

[dark lintel]

Appreciate it, I graduate next year though

Glad to see cash app is hiring

[dry lynx]

I am doing my masters in US but I wanted to shift Canada after graduating in December 2023. Can I apply jobs in Canada staying US and get any interview ?

[placid dawn]

why in the hell would u do that

[storm stream]

Have we heard of anyone who got Square interview last time they were hiring?

[storm stream]

Has anyone done Square OA?

[timid tartan]

Very likely that they won't

[untold geode]

Sooo...hows the market been treating y'all mfs

Cuz Ive been taking a boot up my ass for as long as I can remember

[lucid berry]

not yet

maybe they won't

there's no return offers for interns being given out yet

[analog current]

gimme ur green card then

[tight gale]

[untold geode]

I've heard the new season is gonna start soon for hiring

[analog current]

i heard they will give return offers to intern again, not ft

for next summer

[lucid berry]

it is more likely, yes but I don't know if they will

[analog current]

[timid tartan]

IIRC they don't even have any concrete plans for 2024 internship program

So idk

[earnest mortar]

17 per term as an international right?

[mellow anvil]

[odd nest]

[timid tartan]

Idk, I’m getting resume rejected with 6 internship exp (2 faang+, 1 unicorn) on resume..

I think market is only okay-ish for experienced people

[placid dawn]

bro dont tell me that

not good for my mental health

this job man... i spend more time making coffee and coding everyday

any advice on my resume https://discord.com/channels/698366411864670250/1134184231959015555

[oblique quiver]

Health Canada

[pallid reef]

UofW?

[lunar sandal]

That OA was so fun lol

6 questions only 1 medium

[timid tartan]

Nope

To be more precise, it’s 4 industry internships + 4 non-industry contract work but I usually only put 6 out of those 8 on my resume

[storm stream]

7 with 1 medium for me

I think everyone will ace it tbh

[storm stream]

what are you applying to? I don't see any new grad jobs

[lapis beacon]

uwo >

[magic perch]

Did all the interview stages fine, a month’s gone by no updates lol

[timid tartan]

Anything tbh lol and also some HFTs in the US

[storm stream]

For the money management team that posted a while ago?

[magic perch]

Yeah

[storm stream]

Niiiiiiice hope you get it not sure if it's filled yet?

[magic perch]

I’m assuming I got rejected but would’ve liked to hear that at least, after spending all the time

[storm stream]

How long after the OA did you get an interview btw?

Also you should try for the new role posted yesterday why not

[magic perch]

Like 2 weeks after

[storm stream]

You have an in with the recruiters I'm guessing

[magic perch]

LOL yeah maybe I should

But I think it’s almost the same team

[storm stream]

Well you can have as many faang internships as you want you still at 0 YOE... If you were getting rejected from ng that would be a different story

[storm stream]

Different team but you should go for it

Bug your recruiter

And the OA is easier than codesignal loool

[timid tartan]

I know, but I got resume rejected from the US HFTs for new graduate roles as well

Even from Optiver which is supposed to have auto OA lmfao

[storm stream]

😭😭😭

[timid tartan]

But then again this might be bcs of GPA, I am not sure

[storm stream]

Fuckkkkkkk

[timid tartan]

Idk fam, I have a 0% response rate so far 😂

I wanna cry and laugh at myself at the same time

[storm stream]

Wait did you apply to cash app?

[timid tartan]

Isn’t that for 2023?

[storm stream]

Ah yeah... Thought you're one of us maybe 😅

You're one of the most cracked guys in this server you're gonna land something big

[oblique crater]

nope it’s just completely automatic i think

try reapplying?

also no return offer or are you trying to shop around as well @timid tartan

[timid tartan]

Oh nah I didn’t dare to graduate in 2023 LOL I stood no chance

[storm stream]

I graduated like a dummy... Ropium in full effect

[timid tartan]

Bruhhhh nah fam you too

[timid tartan]

Really?

[timid tartan]

I applied 4 times

With different emails

😂😂😂

All resume rejected LOL

I am not Canadian tho so I mentioned in the app that I need H1-B. Maybe bcs of that?

[lunar sandal]

What uni are u at ? And what year ?

[timid tartan]

I have 0 idea about the return offer situation so I’m just assuming there isn’t one for now

Yessir

[lunar sandal]

Oh nvm I see that 24 ng

[timid tartan]

UofT, 4th year

[lunar sandal]

ZAMN

Going into 3rd with 1 internship 😭

How did u manage 4 when ur not Canadian ?

[timid tartan]

It’s either my gpa didn’t cut their minimum or my resume is pure garbage

[lunar sandal]

U only have 3 summers

[timid tartan]

But I can’t believe getting rejected with 2 faang+ and 1 unicorn lmao especially since it’s supposed to be auto OA?

Like what else do they want

Still really confused honestly, I have no clue

[lunar sandal]

Bro HOW did u get faang

That’s what I wanna know

Cold apply or network ? Cold apply seems impossible

[timid tartan]

I delayed 1 more semester to get 1 extra summer

[timid tartan]

Cold apply

[lunar sandal]

Was this during 2020

[timid tartan]

2022

[lunar sandal]

Damn

I got ghosted by Google this round

[storm stream]

Lol I got all my internships in 3rd year... Just kept extending

Keep applying fam

[lunar sandal]

Wait wdym extending

[storm stream]

Oh I mean delaying grad

[lunar sandal]

Ohhh

Lmfao

[storm stream]

Cuz I kept getting internships LMAO

[lunar sandal]

Yeah that’s smart

[storm stream]

Got 3 then said yeah that's enough

Maybe I should've done more 💀💀

[oblique crater]

honestly I would say that’s your best chance given the current market

[worldly ridge]

3 is still pre good (atleast back then) i remember people syaing ull have no trouble finding entry level jobs with 2/3 before the market took a dump

[timid tartan]

That's right. Just gonna pray for that lol

[timid tartan]

Now you'll still have trouble with 3 faang+/unicorn LOL

It's getting more and more ridiculous

[storm stream]

Imagine if we were not Canadian 😭😭

[worldly ridge]

you mgith have toruble with us if u need h1b imo

[timid tartan]

I agree tbh

[worldly ridge]

but ur cracked, so maybe not 😉

[timid tartan]

But what confuses me is that

I had an easier time with internship which also requires visa

J1 visa

Idk if J1 is easier than H1-B

If so that might be the reason, god knows

[timid tartan]

Trust me I am not loool

[storm stream]

You not Canadian citizen?

[timid tartan]

No

😦

I wish I was

TN is like a blessing

[storm stream]

Might explain Optiver reject what heck

[timid tartan]

That's what I thought too lol

[storm stream]

That's like extra difficulty

[timid tartan]

My friend who got the OA is Canadian

[worldly ridge]

are you shotgugning applciations in canada @timid tartan

[storm stream]

Friccckkkkk

[timid tartan]

So I guess he could use TN visa

[worldly ridge]

or are you being very specific to certain companies

[timid tartan]

Cuz logically speaking idk how else I got rejected from a company with auto OA other than visa or gpa

I still can't believe my resume is that bad to get weeded out from auto OA lmfao

AUTO

[timid tartan]

2024 new grad apps haven't started afaik

I've been applying but I am 99% sure the ones I applied are not for new grads

So I've been resume rejected within Canada too

0% response rate so far

[timid tartan]

Nono I am not picky at all

I'll even take Infosys or whatever at this point
I'm extremely desperate

[worldly ridge]

I see, hopefully august works out

[timid tartan]

I'm fine with 40-50k too idc

[worldly ridge]

broo

💀

broooooooo

dont say that

[timid tartan]

No choice man LOL

[worldly ridge]

i mean ur not getting deported or anything right

[timid tartan]

LMAO nah

[worldly ridge]

like the peeps in the US for being internaitonal

u chillin, u got time

[timid tartan]

Oh nah I haven't even finished school yet

Still have 1 more semester

[worldly ridge]

yeah ur a 24 grad

delay that to 25

if august is dry...

[timid tartan]

The good thing about Canada is that we have 4 years (bcs uni is 4 years) as opposed to like 90 days or something in the US lol

[worldly ridge]

yeah

for sure

[timid tartan]

Then delay to 26

Keep going till my 60th birthday and still not graduating

^ that's me soon

[oblique crater]

3 years

[timid tartan]

Oh yea 1 year for the work itself

True

[oblique crater]

nah 100% youll get something for 24 ng

[timid tartan]

Any of y'all 2023 grads already secured a job or something?

[oblique crater]

i finished december 2022 and yeah i just took my return

[timid tartan]

@worldly ridge are you 2023 grad?

[timid tartan]

Yea return offer is my best shot at this rate

[worldly ridge]

yes i am

[timid tartan]

Already have an offer somewhere?

[worldly ridge]

but i hv 1 yoe entry level experience

[oblique crater]

i feel a bit underpaid but tbh the work is chill and it’s way better than being unemployed

[worldly ridge]

i didnt graduate because my parents couldnt amek it

[timid tartan]

Oh shit

:')))

[worldly ridge]

i didnt care but therye like noooooooooo

[timid tartan]

Hey anything above 40k is not underpaid in my dictionary for the current economy

Y'all gotta refer this poor guy right here

[worldly ridge]

would defo do but my company is hiring only seniorrs > now...

[timid tartan]

Well, fingers crossed lol I have no idea what will happen in the next few months

Only time will tell how doomed the market is

In this market?
