[wheat comet]

rejections came out

?

how many test cases did u pass for the OA

[fierce lotus]

didnt even get OA

[wheat comet]

ohhh damn

[soft hamlet]

No I might send a second app

[fierce lotus]

wht

[soft hamlet]

I changed up my resume so I'll try to apply again

[magic perch]

Ngl tho people joke about these companies but in the current market getting SWE role in McDonalds or Chick Fil A probably pretty tough as well

[fierce lotus]

Whyd you change

[soft hamlet]

Updated with new things

[fierce lotus]

Ah new project?

Gg

[acoustic agate]

amazon canada when?

[normal parcel]

I wanna get McDonald's so I can prove my dad wrong about being a McDonald's worker 😔

imagine making more money than someone working at mcdonalds, what a flex

[strange trail]

Any tips on finding internships if I’m going into second year? I feel like so many of them are for the upper 2 years only, how can I find my first placement

[fierce lotus]

change grad yr

ez

if its possible ofc

to graduate early

if not then idk

[strange trail]

I mean I’m graduating 2026 and that’s already pushing it considering I’ll probably do a PEY

[fierce lotus]

ah uoft

lol

nice

ye no issues then

just that u cant

apply to companies

which specifically say 2025

[strange trail]

Yeah but when it comes to even jobs where they accept any years I feel like they are all so competitive why would they take me verse a 3rd or 4th year who has substantial experience

Do smaller internships pop up later in the cycle?

[soft hamlet]

😂 in the same place except non u of t

[soft hamlet]

literally just apply

if you have any extra credits then it might be plausible for you to graduate 2025

I have 11 courses done out of 40

[soft hamlet]

just apply, no need to self select out

[soft hamlet]

and yeah they do

january is small startup time

[fierce lotus]

gotta apply a lot

and early

[fierce lotus]

16 here

[fierce lotus]

ur in a diff case tho coz u alr have internships so its easier for u

[soft hamlet]

Companies aren't looking for sophomores anyways

Just have to spam apply and hope they don't recognize your grad date

[strange trail]

Yeah that’s what I was thinking, there haven’t been many Canadian positions open yet but I’ve been applying to big US and anything anywhere in Canada, I’ve got 12/40 rn

Meant to say QUIP instead of PEY I go to Queens thought they meant the same thing but they are actually school specific 😭

[strange trail]

This is good because I am taking data structures and algorithms in the fall so I’ll atleast have some technical interview skills by then

[soft hamlet]

Carleton had a speedrun strat so I did DSA in first year

I'm done half of my 2nd year comp

sadly in winter but I am taking 3rd year OS and db

[strange trail]

That’s great yeah queens is general first year so I had chemistry and rocks courses

[soft hamlet]

🗿

[strange trail]

😭

How are you guys scanning for internships in Canada? I see lots of repos with US internships but the only Canadian one isn’t updated much

[soft hamlet]

QUIP kinda sucks because you can't progress, you are stuck in one spot

[soft hamlet]

I scraped levels fyi for every company in NA that pays over $20/hr

And then also I have a mental list of all local companies that I care about

I check roughly every week

[strange trail]

Fair enough I’ll look there are you able to sort by Summer 2024, that’s the most annoying part

[strange trail]

Do you mean like too much time at one internship or because you stopped school

[soft hamlet]

Too much time at one internship

[soft hamlet]

No, I look at the companies that have actually hired in the past year

[strange trail]

Yeah I definitely agree with that I’d only do it if the position was somewhere significant

[strange trail]

Any chance you have a spreadsheet to share 🥹

[soft hamlet]

The problem with QUIP is generally that you go into it with 0 experience so you won't get anything significant

[strange trail]

Bad idea? 😭

[soft hamlet]

Yeah, I can send it to you in 10 mins

It's just a list of companies + their careers page

[strange trail]

Would you say stick to the 4 year program and just aim for 4 summer internships

[strange trail]

That’s amazing man really appreciate that

[soft hamlet]

I'm doing 5 year with co-op, 5 work terms + 1 external

3 summers + whichever two terms I get something decent

[strange trail]

Yeah I haven’t looked into it yet but definitely will stay clear if it’s so poor

It would be a nightmare to get stuck at a bad job for 16 months

[soft hamlet]

It's bad yeah

[soft hamlet]

Just delay your grad and do something yourself

Two summers + two school terms at 3-4 companies would look better than QUIP

[strange trail]

True for sure

When you say during school do you mean just push you’re graduation a year back and work 2 4 month internships

Like fall and winter placements

[soft hamlet]

Yeah or whichever terms you get something

My co-op schedule is fall in 3rd year and winter in 4th year as my two school terms

[strange trail]

Oh but that’s through Carleton

[soft hamlet]

But if I get something back to back I might as well just take 3rd year fall and 3rd year winter

[soft hamlet]

Eh we're allowed to reschedule however we want

[strange trail]

Ok I’ll look into it

If you mean me I’m BASc

[soft hamlet]

bcmph is a wacky degree name

though bcsh is only slightly better

bachelor in computer science honours

bachelor's in computer science honours and software engineering stream with a minor in business entrepreneurship

not even the longest degree name you can get at Carleton

[strange trail]

So graduating with only summer internships is worse then doing some during the school term and extending grad because it’s easier to find internships and get smaller term experience before you get a full time job?

[fierce lotus]

damn im planning on doing

3 external

during summers

including this one

and 2 during school terms through co op

not exactly co op its just for work permit

so ye 5 total

in 4 yrs

[soft hamlet]

I need to do all of them with the co-op office

[fierce lotus]

oh

damn

[soft hamlet]

so that I can keep my scholarship :>

[fierce lotus]

i dont

just for visa

[soft hamlet]

1 external that I just did

[fierce lotus]

but ye thats the plan

do 4 more

lol

[soft hamlet]

because I wouldn't be able to count it anyways

[fierce lotus]

ah

ye i wanna finish within 4 yrs

dont see the point in spending 5 yrs for bachelors

[soft hamlet]

I think 5 year degree including 6 total work terms is good for me

I wanna graduate at the point where I have a ton of good experience

[fierce lotus]

Yeah but I can do 5 in 4 years right hahah

Why extend just for one more

[soft hamlet]

I can't :/

I don't have AP credits

or whatever

I'd have to spend 8 terms in-school anyways

even if I did just 5 I'd still end up with 5 years

[fierce lotus]

Sed

Ye

But ye good thing is it's flexible for me

So if i get something good for winter I can just do it

[strange trail]

Are you going through your school aswell?

Or just delaying education finding your own and continuing education when your done?

[soft hamlet]

I might change my co-op schedule lowkey tho

[fierce lotus]

Nah

[soft hamlet]

rather than doing a 4th year winter, do a 5th year fall

[fierce lotus]

Finding own

[soft hamlet]

so I only have one term left

[fierce lotus]

School just for visa

[soft hamlet]

ye I find my own jobs, but I pay to register it with co-op so I can keep my scholarship

[fierce lotus]

Ye

[strange trail]

Oh ok

Yeah QUIP costs 3,000$ it sounds worse every time I think about it

[fierce lotus]

Damn

[strange trail]

Would be better to just push my school a term if I found something and work

I guess I’ll email someone and see how that works

[soft hamlet]

my co-op board isn't that much better

1.9k for 4 work terms

[strange trail]

Yeah maybe it’s just the standard

[stark patrol]

I did that. Pushed my school a year and just found 3 internships on my own instead of paying for QUIP. Just didn't enroll in classes, and enrolled again the next fall. Didn't need to do anything else.

[pallid reef]

international studying in canada require J-1 to intern in US, right?

[soft hamlet]

yeah

some companies are doing some sketchy TN-1 stuff but J-1 is the intern one

[pallid reef]

nice

[lunar sandal]

The sentry recruiter email doesn’t even work

[untold geode]

Lentry

[lunar sandal]

This is an actual joke

but ig that’s the market !

[raven sphinx]

[tight gale]

Yea apply -> reject

[normal parcel]

my life story condensed

[kind nimbus]

What’s the recruiting timeline for Canada Swe 2024?

When do companies like Wealthsimple and shopify come out? Just learning the ropes haha

[fickle juniper]

Shopify will come out in Aug 2021

[tight gale]

No one really knows I would just keep checking the channels, people will post when something comes up

[vivid fiber]

They didn't last year...

Hopefully they do this year 😃

[vivid fiber]

for new grad?

[worthy fjord]

recruiter prolly stressed

[untold geode]

Those are crazy numbers

Crazy? I was crazy once...

They locked me in a room

[worthy fjord]

even if a quarter of those applicants actually applied thats still tough, not workday too so more than that

[untold geode]

Ayo, anyone know where to practice OOP coding

Leetcode is alright for Algos and DS

but Im not suer about OOP programming specifically

[zinc knot]

have you taken a OOP class at uni

[untold geode]

Yeah

[zinc knot]

just study up on design patterns using those notes

there's a ton of user stories/design prompts that you can find online

leetcode should also have design questions but they're not necessarily oop

[untold geode]

Yeah Ive attempted the design questions on leetcode, but was hoping to find more OOP style

[zinc knot]

https://refactoring.guru/design-patterns

i really really like this for design pattern revision

[untold geode]

But thanks for sharing all this with me

I really appreciate it

💯

[quartz ridge]

Aren’t u on ur first internship

[zinc knot]

yeah but i used that resource for my soft engg course which was literally just interview level design patterns and what not

[placid dawn]

[quartz ridge]

Where are u interning

[zinc knot]

Everybody and their grandma seems to be majoring in CS these days

[fierce lotus]

psychology and business

rn

[timid tartan]

That's smart -- lots of CS students need some mental health help

[fierce lotus]

lol

tru

at least cs students are better than the finance bros

[strange trail]

Do you guys get contacted by recruiters on LinkedIn or does that only happen if you’re already in the field?

[fierce lotus]

idk maybe depends on location

i dont get anything

[lunar sandal]

who's waiting for the autodesk app to drop so that they can get rejected for the k+1th time? 🤚

[zinc knot]

[strange trail]

You guys know of any lists of sophomore internships like STEP or Explore? Or are there really only a couple?

[rigid meadow]

As a first year when should I start looking for internships

I only have 1 project done

[placid dawn]

internship asap

just go to sonny and follow some of his prijects along

and fill in ur resume w projects

[strange trail]

sonny?

I have a Pac-Man game I made in C that’s about 400 lines of code is it ok for a project? Lots of recursion, pointers and memory management but I’m not sure if it’s too basic it would do more harm then good

[cinder kraken]

Try to use to more relevant stuff

Like react

And node/ spring boot

[rigid meadow]

Nah I actually wanna make my own

[strange trail]

I have done lots of react mini projects but they are all like calculators and quote generators with APIs so I don’t think I can add any of that

Same with my MERN projects lots of small scale things

[cinder kraken]

It’s okay add at least one of them

To show that you know react

[placid dawn]

Sonny Sangha

[placid dawn]

the goal is to fill in ur resume asap. u can work on ur own projects on the side

[strange trail]

Give me like 5 projects that would look great and I’ll pick 1 or 2

[eternal fossil]

got rejected after a phone screen by hm for a job that pays 65k a year

im down bad

i cant believe i couldnt even land this job

[placid dawn]

[eternal fossil]

im actually so down bad this is fucked

im calling the recruiter rn

[thick sinew]

cisco closed??

[dim plover]

If I apply to roles in the US, and I'm a Canadian citizen, do I put that I require sponsorship? How do I indicate to companies that I can easily get a TN visa?

[placid dawn]

is it me or salaries going down slowly

[earnest mortar]

references?

[placid dawn]

me checking posting salaries everyday

[calm elm]

I havent checked really but my buddy just got a new grad ft job with 10k more than the guy who reffed him in.

Maybe public openings are meant to find ppl who would work for cheaper :/

[earnest mortar]

yee ur gonna have to give specific examples lol, is there a general average going down? or is it just a "trust me bro"

[placid dawn]

more of a trust me bro tbh

keep seeing 30-50k jobs

more and more

[lunar sandal]

Who’s excited for school !!

https://tenor.com/view/blade-runner-raining-sad-emotional-gif-3355768

[untold geode]

Ayo guys, quick question, I've been applying for a while now but I'm not getting any interviews

I'm frankly not sure what the issue is, but would any of you be willing to have a look over my resume to see if theres anything wrong there or if its anything else

I've tried the resume channel but did not get a lot of solid adivse

[honest tulip]

Sure

[fickle juniper]

So you’ve come to solicit advice from the friendly Canadians eh?

[strange trail]

How can you easily get a TN Visa?

[earnest mortar]

he's a canadian himself haha

[earnest mortar]

i would say to elaborate on those points a bit, they seem kinda weak "developed frontend components", what langauges? what frameworks? what did you accomplish? numbers?

and all of your bullet poitns on your resume are of the following format

github link to your projects

[untold geode]

So thats something I struggle with...a lot of the work I've done is with start-ups so technically I implemented the components or functions from scratch

There isnt a benchmark to say 30% faster or 10% more traffic or clicks

[earnest mortar]

from scratch in assembly?

[fickle juniper]

I think u can get away with saying u don’t need sponsorship

[earnest mortar]

did your functions save company budget? did you contribute to a product? which product? what did you contribute to the product

[strange trail]

Can someone explain the process if I’m a Canadian sophomore and I wanted to work for Microsoft in California for example? I’ve been trying to understand it but it’s confusing me

I’ve gotten far enough to know I need a J-1, then I think I understand it and someone mentions H1B or TN and I get confused again

[untold geode]

Alright, thanks for the pointers, I'll make some edits

[earnest mortar]

np

[pseudo storm]

what's hm

[tight gale]

hiring manager

[pseudo storm]

oh bruh

[raven sphinx]

[timid tartan]

Oh I have 0% response rate rn

[wheat comet]

[wheat comet]

[timid tartan]

The OA isn’t auto

You passed their screening

[timid tartan]

Only God knows 😭

[wheat comet]

[steel escarp]

[wheat comet]

[timid tartan]

I can’t even afford one

[timid tartan]

That’s what I thought

[wheat comet]

maybe they sent me 2 by accident and one of them was for u

[timid tartan]

Nahhh 🤣

[wheat comet]

maybe ur OVER qualified

[earnest mortar]

uhh it's either a gca or the robolox oa, if its the roblox oa i haven't done it, good luck 😆

[earnest mortar]

ngl that's all of us

[dark lintel]

Did anyone hear back from Sentry new grad?

Toronto office

[timid tartan]

[strange trail]

Ohh

[earnest mortar]

like sentry is hella weird

ik people with less on their resume that got OAs, and here i am getting straight up rejected

[timid tartan]

Yea I Iegit thought you need 4 faang+ or something to pass the resume screen

[earnest mortar]

nahh i was messaging around and someone with like 2 f500s internships got an oa

[strange trail]

I can’t imagine getting a faang internship

That’s the dream

[timid tartan]

I got ghosted with 2 faang+ and 1 unicorn

6 exp on resume in total

8 exp if I wanna make my resume 2 pages

[earnest mortar]

its funny cuz u think u'll be invincible with it but it's really not much better, unless you can convert it to a ft offer

[timid tartan]

IKR

It doesn't mean shit anymore in this market

[earnest mortar]

i get ghosted with 1 faang, 1 f500, 2 research exps, many startup stints, 3.5+ gpa, and more lol

[timid tartan]

Like yea unless you have js + citadel + hrt + two sigma, I don't think you'll be coasting in this market

[strange trail]

I just have no experience, I feel like if you have that much experience you’ll be good in the future no matter what even if it takes longer cause of the market

[earnest mortar]

[vernal sigil]

It’s warehouse workers and solutions architects

[soft hamlet]

I got auto for Ottawa last cycle, I haven't done this cycle yet

[cinder kraken]

I didn’t get it

It might be because I interviewed with them last year and got rejected

Might be blacklist

[wheat comet]

[fierce lotus]

Where did they say that tho

Didn't get this

For untapped

Wtf

Wtf

Sed

I got rejected on 8th so let's see lol

[fierce lotus]

Lol

Ye automated

Sed

[earnest mortar]

12:00pm on the 8th eh?

[fierce lotus]

Uh I'm in India lmao

[earnest mortar]

or they just register the reject in their system and batch send emails at 12:00pm

[fierce lotus]

9:30 pm India time

On the 8th

[earnest mortar]

oh ok

[faint echo]

i got the untapped thing

then i got rejected anyways

😂

[fierce lotus]

sed

god knows what they expect

[faint echo]

i didnt have anything impressive on my resume though

[fierce lotus]

same

one no name internship

[wheat comet]

i made my own experience

like its my own startup

[fierce lotus]

one "research" experience

[wheat comet]

that and some tutor experience

[fierce lotus]

thats all

lol

[fierce lotus]

same that too

and some shitty projects

[bleak glacier]

Hey, does anyone know this company BCIMC/BCI?

[faint echo]

must have less than 28 years of experience

🤔

[tight gale]

phew i only have 27

[placid dawn]

I have 29

[gilded charm]

for sentry new grad?

[fierce lotus]

Intern

[storm stream]

new grad or intern?

[soft hamlet]

I'm pretty sure this is unpaid

oh yeah it is

😂

[soft hamlet]

if they have 29 years of experience, then they won't know how to use java 1995 😦

Also Kotlin was made in 2011

how would someone have learned it before then

[oblique quiver]

i was looking at some guy from my school and it says he did SDE intern @ zon in seattle ...

pre sure hes canadian citizen

[storm stream]

Some get to go

Most don't

[oblique quiver]

rip ..

if it came down to it i would not care abt loc

[vernal sigil]

U can only do it if u apply to the co-op posting

[soft hamlet]

Aka only loo

[oblique quiver]

Jadjdiiwurjsiw8rif well hopefully they post coop

[soft hamlet]

This means nothing

Only loo has a good co-op program

[vernal sigil]

I looked up list of co-op unis, not the best ones

Ik that loo has the best program but u think only loo gets zon?

[soft hamlet]

In it's co-op board maybe

Ik Carleton doesn't have it

[vernal sigil]

I dont go to loo and amazon was in my co-op board

[soft hamlet]

(I go to Carleton)

[vernal sigil]

I talked to loo and uot ppl and they didn’t have it

[soft hamlet]

What uni

[vernal sigil]

Last one on the list

[soft hamlet]

We had MSFT but not zon

We have Cisco tho, boomer city moment

[dark lintel]

Lmao Cisco at Kanata

[soft hamlet]

We have Kinaxis and solace and Nokia!!!

[dark lintel]

Yes and Blueberry

[soft hamlet]

Shopify is full remote

So not really an Ottawa company anymore

What's JT

[hybrid fog]

Lmao the fact that York university and Seneca college aren’t on this list make it not a credible list

[soft hamlet]

Seneca

Justin Trudeau's wife

[tight gale]

What's the instacart process like

[cursive walrus]

the title litterally says "best coop programs"

[soft hamlet]

You go on the app, click your local Walmart, find the celery, order 69 of those and get it delivered to Instacart HQ

They will thank you and give you a job

[tight gale]

Why 69?

[soft hamlet]

Because the company caused the bite of 69

[pale lichen]

Co-op is lowkey a scam. I got all my internships by applying directly to the website

[soft hamlet]

For us they have some kind of minimum to hire

I think

So like at least 1-2 people get the job

[pale lichen]

Yeah for me too. I was in co-op but got nothing. All the interviews I got was outside of co-op

[soft hamlet]

To be fair I was looking for jobs in first year

So idk about the co-op board

I guess I'll see in about 2-3 months

[pale lichen]

Yeah

Only other perk is that if you get an internship outside of co-op you won't have to do an "end of term" paperr

That shit was always so annoying to do

Oh yeah, that too lmaoo

[soft hamlet]

We pay $475 a term for co-op

Even the "search term"

Such a scam

[pale lichen]

Had to do this twice

[soft hamlet]

For me the co-op course is free but it's during a search term

The term leading up to a co-op term you have to pay them

I have to stay in co-op because I wanna do terms during the school year

If I don't do co-op then I lose my scholarship

[pale lichen]

Ah shit

That's tuff

You can't write them a letter to let them know?

[soft hamlet]

I still pocket 2k after co-op fees

[soft hamlet]

Nah, co-op is the only way to keep full time student status

[pale lichen]

When I got my internship during school year I remember I had to write a letter to OSAP to let them know I'm still in school

[vernal sigil]

Bro never used google in his life

[soft hamlet]

My uni does that automatically, and also I don't have osap

So it's really just scholarship

[pale lichen]

Ah, makes sense

[soft hamlet]

I got a unlimited use bus pass for $275 a term from the uni

Though the bus is absolute ass

I waited an hour for a bus just now

[cursive walrus]

you looked up lists of coop unis, but in the result, you got the list of best coop unis

which is wrong anyways lmao

[naive shell]

Coop students are full time student

[wooden lichen]

THREE DECENT COMPANIES OUT OF THE MAYBE 300 TOTAL POSTINGS

[worthy fjord]

basically the faang in canada

[vivid fiber]

The first 3 r pretty solid tho

[tight gale]

Fr

Autodesk is probly harder to get into vs amazon

[oblique quiver]

Mfw google used to post on ww

[dark lintel]

is it because Autodesk uses workday

[teal remnant]

Sentry oa was something else

[hybrid fog]

I liked it

[topaz linden]

Not hard just long

[timid tartan]

Is Canada gonna have any 2024 new grad postings or nah

Aside from Sentry

I'm pretty scared at this point

[hybrid fog]

Veeva

Instacart

Goldman sachs also has a toronto location

Many companies still have yet to start ng hiring either

Pretty sure square will hire toronto ng

[timid tartan]

Yea I haven't heard back from Veeva for some reason

[hybrid fog]

Ah maybe your interview is coming then

Cuz they’re good about rejecting people

Someone ik got a phone call from recruiter

For rejection

Lol

[timid tartan]

Have you heard back?

[timid tartan]

Bruh what the

LOL

[hybrid fog]

I got my veeva interview next Friday

[timid tartan]

Huh that's so quick

Are you a master's student?

I remember Veeva posted the graduate roles earlier

[hybrid fog]

No

Bachelors

[timid tartan]

Icic

Welp maybe I got ghosted then

[hybrid fog]

Maybe but could just be that they haven’t gotten to ur app yet

But ye I don’t have many leads for jobs so far

2-3 depending on if sentry likes my resume

[timid tartan]

When did you apply?

[hybrid fog]

Lemme check

[timid tartan]

Yea I have none

[hybrid fog]

August 3

[timid tartan]

Oh hmm okay when did you hear back?

I applied on August 4

[hybrid fog]

U have previous internship experience ?

August 10th is when I was reached out to schedule interview

[timid tartan]

Yea 2 faang+ and 1 unicorn but I don't think it's enough in this market

I'm getting resume rejected / ghosted everywhere

[hybrid fog]

Damn I mean

[timid tartan]

I see

[hybrid fog]

I have no faangs and am getting some places so

Post ur resume somewhere for review
