[timid tartan]

[hybrid fog]

Also veeva has a gpa threshold fwiw

[timid tartan]

Yeah I did

[hybrid fog]

They reject if ur gpa isn’t high enough

[timid tartan]

I think it's 3.2 right?

[hybrid fog]

Not sure the threshold tbh

I just know someone who got rejected cuz low gpa

[timid tartan]

Oh 3.3

Just checked

[oblique crater]

how did you make that connection

[timid tartan]

Yea mine is fine

[timid tartan]

?

@hybrid fog just curious, did you write anything in the What initially interested you about Veeva? xD

[hybrid fog]

Was that one of the questions 😭

I don’t remember tbh

[timid tartan]

Yeah lmao

[dry rain]

Where are you guys at in the process?

[timid tartan]

But it's not required

Optional

[timid tartan]

Veeva? Still haven't heard back

[hybrid fog]

I put the same thing for those questions tho: I want to work with smartest people in the industry and learn from them

[timid tartan]

icic

Lol

[hybrid fog]

Veeva behavioural rn, they do OA after interview for some reason

[dry rain]

Glgl

[hybrid fog]

Tyy

[timid tartan]

Man at this point, I just want a minimum wage SWE job

I'll just take whatever

[hybrid fog]

Can u get return offers from past internships?

That’s my backup plan if I don’t get anything else, my last intern gave me ng offer

Verbal offer but still

[dark lintel]

did Veeva systems Canada 2024 new grad opened?

[timid tartan]

I'm trying to see if I can pull that, yeah

But nothing is on the table yet

[timid tartan]

Nice nice

[hybrid fog]

Gl

[tight gale]

Did you ask for a referral

[hybrid fog]

Bro works at data bricks he don’t need a veeva job 😂

[tight gale]

Oh fr?

Hello my friend who works at databricks it's me unemployed person

[timid tartan]

I'm handing out homeless referrals

[fickle juniper]

I believe in u m8

Ur going to get an amazing new grad pos

[timid tartan]

Resume rejected everywhere --> homeless offer, sign on bonus is guaranteed 50+ years homelessness

Near union station in Toronto

[tight gale]

I believe in you

[timid tartan]

If y'all see a homeless there, good chance that's me

[timid tartan]

[vivid fiber]

Next time I'm in Toronto I'll stop by 😊

[timid tartan]

My resume doesn't believe in me unfortunately

[vivid fiber]

What do you struggle with?

[timid tartan]

[vivid fiber]

Most SWEs r not smart

U r overestimating SWEs

[timid tartan]

PM is much harder to break IMO

[vivid fiber]

A job is a job

[timid tartan]

True

Well at least you get interviews

[vivid fiber]

Idk y ppl hav dis mindset

[timid tartan]

I can't even pass a resume screen to save my life

[vivid fiber]

Just study a bit

Like it's such a weird mindset

With the technical or behavioral?

If it's with the technical just do mocks

Or just practice leetcode

You don't have to "grind" leetcode unless you're aiming for FAANG imo

FAANG PM is more difficult than FAANG SWE imo

Less spots for new grads

[tight gale]

What's the deleted posts

[vivid fiber]

Ok, but I'm not sure that's really enough to guarantee a FAANG interview...

[fickle juniper]

Don’t they get paid less tho

[vivid fiber]

Well yes

[fickle juniper]

Damn

[vivid fiber]

But there are less spots

For new grads

[fickle juniper]

It be even harder out there for non-swe

[vivid fiber]

From a FAANG?

Nice

[timid tartan]

Go get it

[vivid fiber]

Gl then 🙏

[timid tartan]

Don't be like me on the street

[fickle juniper]

That’s huge, grats!

And good luck

[vivid fiber]

Yeah, imo u should put the work in

[tight gale]

Why do you keep deleting your messages

[oblique crater]

not for you, that veeva has a gpa threshold, couldve just gotten resume rejected

[timid tartan]

Oh it does have a minimum gpa req on the job desc actually

It’s 3.3 though

[broken whale]

bruh

how much is 3.3 in %?

[candid oxide]

https://www.whatsmygpa.ca/

Use this if u want to find out cuz diff schools have diff scales on ouac and gpa is based on individual course grades

[steel escarp]

Its prob @timid tartan cuz he like to stalk people

[lunar sandal]

no

any linkedin user can change how their view shows up on someones profile, either 1) fully incognito, 2) like that or 3) name and workplace

[timid tartan]

…

[gilded charm]

sentry new grad anyone got oa?

[cinder kraken]

Did u do untapped

What’s sentry ng tc?

[oblique quiver]

work for big china corp Canada Ltd

[gilded charm]

yeah

[timid tartan]

Tons of people already got the OA tbh

[soft hamlet]

3.95 major

once I'm done summer courses it's gonna go up

[gilded charm]

oh i see so is it ghosting or i should be expecting rejection atleast
i would like to know if my resume makes it or not

[soft hamlet]

u of t too op, what's considered a 3.95 in other unis is a 4

[fierce lotus]

how wht

[ancient tartan]

huawei？lol

[pseudo storm]

I think they send rejections, at least I got one for new grad 2023.

[faint echo]

anyone considering going through a recruitment agency like FDM group?

[timid tartan]

Well, idk, I got ghosted with 2 faang+ and 1 unicorn so maybe the bar is extremely high?

[soft hamlet]

Not really

[timid tartan]

Me

Heck I’d even take a minimum wage job at McDonald’s

[soft hamlet]

FDM kinda dookie, sometimes they just don't find you anything and kick you out 😂

[timid tartan]

Hard to be picky in this market though

[soft hamlet]

All things considered, startups aren't a bad industry to get into rn

If you can't get anything that pays a lot upfront, do some part equity jobs and hopefully you hit something that becomes big in the long term

Hop after 2-3 years and find another job

Internship wise they seem to be more willing to hire than big companies

[timid tartan]

Yeah I know

As I said, I’m even willing to take a minimum wage job

Minimum wage SWE job is fine too and even my best expectation is like ~40k TC. I won’t mind

[oblique quiver]

Yep

They hire a lot of people and the projects arent mickey mouse

[tough knot]

they won't hire me

😦

[ancient tartan]

Huawei pays really well for interns

but I am curious about the workload as an intern

[timid tartan]

Is Cisco OA for new grad supposed to be auto?

[teal remnant]

Man where tf zon at

Man where tf zon at

Very insightful thanks !

[tight gale]

If enough people sign up for prime amazon will open ng

[normal parcel]

Thank you nulname

[earnest mortar]

breh im not gonna input 45 courses worth of GPAs to find the conversion lol

[calm elm]

Had a few friends there, most people told me it was “manageable”

(They were also interning after finishing their 3rd year of school, this might be relevant info idk)

[steel escarp]

yes

[soft hamlet]

you can just look at the conversion chart

it's way quicker lol

[timid tartan]

Damn my resume is so bad that I can't even get an auto OA

[steel escarp]

k bye

[timid tartan]

Wut

[lunar sandal]

this doesnt even matter lol

but yes it is a rigorous school 🙂

bear in mind its acc anything above 85 is a 4.0

but the letter grade is different obv, A vs A+ there's no point trying for that extra 15% unless ur trying for stem grad school somewhere competitive and need 100s across the board in core courses

[cinder kraken]

I dont think it matters

Exp > grades

[hybrid fog]

Bros down bad for a corporate entity 💀

[wheat comet]

im down bad af too i am on my knees begging at this point

[placid dawn]

anyone done vfc intrapreneurship?

wonder if it will conflict with my job

[soft hamlet]

For us it's a 90. I'm doing it for my own personal satisfaction, I'm trying to ace as many of my major courses as possible

Our CS courses are similar in depth but we don't do as much math

[placid dawn]

are they worth adding to the resume

[weak gazelle]

anyone heard back from sentry

[hot rapids]

Seems like theres not much dev work

[eternal fossil]

had a dream i got a job at square

and i went into work first day

was super cool

everyone talked about the benefits

went to a town hall meeting

then i woke up and realized i had a bit too much nyquil the night before and thats why i conjured up this crazy dream

was nice to feel that

[hallow urchin]

Where is AMAZON CANADA

[tight gale]

@hallow urchin next year

[hallow urchin]

2024 USA is out for Amazon but not Canada
Neither is Microsoft 😦

[tight gale]

[smoky flare]

https://careers.tiktok.com/position/7266060247121938748/detail?spread=5MWH5CQ

TikTok 2024 internship

[hallow urchin]

yes

[flint sequoia]

Need some advice

Got an offer for a new grad SDE role that was pushed to April. Got an interview for a new grad PM role if I get the pm role would it make sense to take it work it until the SDE role or take it if the SDE role is cancelled and still try applying to other software roles ?

[pseudo storm]

when was your original start date?

[flint sequoia]

September I believe

[pseudo storm]

do the interview for the pm role

then quit for the swe role

[flint sequoia]

Would I be blacklisted from the company if I’m only there a month or two

[pseudo storm]

maybe, maybe not. That's something you would have to decide for yourself if you wanna risk it.

[flint sequoia]

I’ll go with the flow and play it by ear I guess hopefully it all works out

Or better yet I get another dev offer

[pseudo storm]

what company did you get the first swe offer from if you don't mind

[flint sequoia]

Publicis Sapient

[pseudo storm]

that's nice

but getting pushed to april is worrying

[flint sequoia]

Facts

[placid dawn]

[dense blaze]

does anyone know of people getting cisco sponsorship? My recruiter is telling me its very unlikely, but I've heard of a few people who have gotten it previously

but idk any names to double their linkedin and send to my recruiter to convince him lol

for new grad*

[dim plover]

Do new grad jobs ask for system design questions?

[tight gale]

Some

[strange trail]

Can you explain how this works? How do you have a recruiter? I’m a sophomore new to the whole job cycle

[zinc knot]

did they reach out to you already? (assuming you applied to the recent app that came out for summer)

[dense blaze]

I was an intern, they prioritize giving interns conversion offers. I finished the interview conversion process a few weeks back. Until mid sept is what I've heard, they will give out conversion offers.

[zinc knot]

ah you've already interned

[dense blaze]

I was an intern converting offer so I had a recruiter from that.

[zinc knot]

mind if i dm you, i had a couple questions

[dense blaze]

Sure

[cinder kraken]

Why do you need sponsorship, are you an international in Canada

Just apply for pgwp

That’s independent of the company you are working for

[dense blaze]

oh nah i meant, being a candian citizen getting sponsorship for us

[cinder kraken]

Ahh

You still don’t need sponsorship

Apply for TN

[pseudo storm]

isn't it suppose to be easy to get TN? Like all you need is an offer letter and you should be good no?

[faint echo]

Anyone know about Avolta? I have an interview scheduled with them about an unpaid software engineering volunteer. I don't have any experience so i was thinking of doing this until I can find something that pays. Is this worth doing or is it a massive waste of time?

[tight gale]

Anyone who applied to Cisco canada got OA?

[placid dawn]

i think most ppl

[pseudo storm]

yeah

[timid tartan]

I finally got it

For the new grad posting

[timid tartan]

Goddamn didn’t know TikTok hires in Canada lmao. Wondering if they’ll have a new grad role in Canada

Why would they hire interns in Canada tho in that case hmm

[smoky flare]

They only had one frontend and one test role already

doubt they'll release another one for backend 🫠

[timid tartan]

New grad Canada???

[smoky flare]

Yea for 2024

[timid tartan]

Do you have the link for frontend? I can't see it anymore somehow

[smoky flare]

No I dont see it now either

[timid tartan]

F

[smoky flare]

probably got filled or too many applications

[timid tartan]

So it's done

Bruh holy crap I've never seen TikTok posting in Canada before lmao

Did you apply for the frontend role?

[smoky flare]

nah

it said can only apply to two

I saved one in hopes they open a backend one

never happened though

[faint echo]

i applied to the new grad tiktok roles on like thursday or friday last week

didnt hear anything from them though

[smoky flare]

when did you apply?

[tight gale]

The tiktok onsites sound

[sleek lintel]

guys are canadian students rejected from amazon us roles

[tribal root]

they have onsites?

[tight gale]

Virtual onsite

[timid tartan]

Bruh so like it closed in just a few days wtf

[timid tartan]

Yesterday lol

[tight gale]

Goodluck friend

[smoky flare]

I didnt even get cisco auto oa wtf

[timid tartan]

Bruh I hate myself for not applying to tiktok frontend

Smh how did I miss that

[cinder kraken]

Man I really wanted instacart but my referrer said they are looking for people already graduated

[tight gale]

the US apps are still there: https://careers.tiktok.com/position?keywords=&category=&location=CT_1103355&project=&functionCategory=&job_hot_flag=&tag=&type=2

[strange trail]

Is it worth applying to Cisco US postings as a canadian in 2nd year

Or just stick to the ottawa listing

[timid tartan]

I mean

Why don't you just try lmao

Doesn't hurt to try

[timid tartan]

Oh yea ik that

[strange trail]

Yeah ive had that mentality but I got the auto's for both positions and they are due this week

Havent sunk time into LC yet

[timid tartan]

Lol just apply first and then think about them later

You miss 100% the shots that you don't take 🙂

[strange trail]

touche

[crude saddle]

[acoustic moss]

anyone done stackadapt interview?

[magic perch]

Anyone done the recent Thomson Reuters Hackerrank?

[strange trail]

As a second year I’m hoping I can even get a small local company internship, do those internships go all the way into the spring? I’m hoping to have a couple months to practice lc

[teal remnant]

New grad ?

[magic perch]

Not sure, it’s just a SWE position

But I assume it was entry lvl ish

[worldly ridge]

I didnt know we had so few listings rn

[strange trail]

😭

Isnt it true Canada has openings later then the US tho ?

[timid tartan]

In general yeah, but I don't think there'll be many entry-level openings honestly

You'd better have multiple faang+ or HFT internships to even stay competitive in entry-level market honestly lmfao

[worldly ridge]

are you a citizen

u can try to apply for US jobs under TN

[strange trail]

I mean like summer 2024 internships still going through application rounds in the later months of this year and early 2024

[strange trail]

I’m Canadian but I think TN is only new grad

[strange trail]

Yeah definitely not what I’ve got, just praying I get something for 2024 as a sophomore with no paid experience

[fierce lotus]

Bruh 💀

I may as well switch careers at this point lol

[strange trail]

This is my hope

[fierce lotus]

when do u think the canadian companies will open

[fierce lotus]

oh

[strange trail]

That’s reassuring to hear hopefully that happens again

[hasty crow]

Please does anyone have leetcode premium I need a quick favor 🙏🏾 just need a screenshot of something

Thank you so much

[fierce lotus]

they gotta sponsor u

j1 visa

[storm stream]

did you make this

[barren sinew]

I received new grad sponsorship for Cisco but my experience was a bit unique since I was already on a TN at the time. My hiring manager didn't care where I was though

[barren sinew]

It's not that bad. Almost my whole graduating class is employed right now and I went to an average school

[fierce lotus]

inb4 its loo

[barren sinew]

Nah I met a Loo student and he didn't know my school existed

[fierce lotus]

wht

which province lol

[barren sinew]

BC

[tight gale]

Ubc?

[fierce lotus]

ah

so sfu

lol

[barren sinew]

SFU yeee

[fierce lotus]

sfu good tho bruh

[barren sinew]

Does it really matter after UW or UofT? I don't think it helps much

[fierce lotus]

u guys have location advantage

[tight gale]

Vancouver community College is actually cracked

[barren sinew]

Yes that's true. Intel Vancouver was split between UBC, SFU, and UVIC whereas Intel Toronto was literally only UofT and one McMaster

[fierce lotus]

yeah see...

i have to apply out of province for most internships

[barren sinew]

There's also more internships in Ontario though

[fierce lotus]

ye

[oblique quiver]

isnt it cos Intel toronto is PEY only

[barren sinew]

Oh no wonder

[oblique quiver]

[barren sinew]

They also paid Toronto better 👀

[oblique quiver]

if it wasn't

[fierce lotus]

not even loo?

[oblique quiver]

we will come and invade

[fierce lotus]

damn

[oblique quiver]

pre sure if ur not PEY its autoreject

i mean it has PEY in the name..

[fierce lotus]

ah

[oblique quiver]

i applied a couple times cos i wasn't sure

never heard back

[barren sinew]

For some of them, it was kinda ass. I knew a few who were doing PM or business analyst roles for 12 months

[oblique quiver]

oof

[tough knot]

Nah, chill, let us have this one

[oblique quiver]

does Intel toronto even post non-pey

[tough knot]

I’ve only seen PEY/ASIP

[oblique quiver]

cant believe

whats asip

[tough knot]

New coop program for utsg (art sci) but 95% of students are in Cs

replaced PEY for us

Only eng has PEY now officially, we still get access to the PEY board through ASIP though (as well as the UTSC board)

Toronto competition is nuts

You have like everyone in Ontario going for them

Whereas Ottawa, who wants to go there

[lunar sandal]

who u know matters more than what u know

[fierce lotus]

true

[lunar sandal]

i learned that harsh way

[soft hamlet]

Well yeah you need to be a good candidate first tho

[lunar sandal]

not necessarily.

[fierce lotus]

i mean ottawa still sorta attractive compared to calgary etc

[lunar sandal]

i think a lot of this field is on 2021 hopium

[soft hamlet]

Technically yes

[fierce lotus]

ah

[lunar sandal]

[fierce lotus]

that would be nice

[soft hamlet]

But in my fifth year I'm doing a business practicum

[fierce lotus]

4 yrs with co op

[lunar sandal]

u will get fucked for doing this

[fierce lotus]

wtf is that

[fierce lotus]

yep

do it

if its

technically

possible

if not

dont do it

[soft hamlet]

Make a business plan + pitch it to investors as a course

[fierce lotus]

oh

hmm

[soft hamlet]

No, it's plausible

[fierce lotus]

startup eh

gg

[soft hamlet]

If I drop co-op then it's '26

And I haven't done anything that could delay my grad if I drop co-op

And then I did a summer course rn so I'm a bit ahead

[fierce lotus]

nice

[soft hamlet]

• if I overload and do summer courses I can technically '25 with 2 internships

[fierce lotus]

my mf uni doesnt offer cs courses in summer

[soft hamlet]

They only offer a few second year courses

[fierce lotus]

we only have

first yr cs

in summer

[lunar sandal]

GET OFF DISOCRD

GO LC

[soft hamlet]

I'm taking 3rd year courses in 2nd year because I did accelerated in first year

[lunar sandal]

GRIND PROJ

[soft hamlet]

I farm work exp

I have like 19 months of total exp

In freelance and internships

[lunar sandal]

r u leetcoding tho

[soft hamlet]

I overlap a bunch of stuff + freelance during the school year

[soft hamlet]

One every couple of days

[lunar sandal]

nice

bright future

kid

[soft hamlet]

I can do easies like 50-60% of the time

[fierce lotus]

wtf

damn

[soft hamlet]

I'm trash at leetcode

But I'm trying to get better

[soft hamlet]

Freelance for like 2 clients at the same time = free months of experience

[fierce lotus]

damn

i have like around 10 months ig if u include hs shit

[soft hamlet]

I have like a 2 month HS internship I should probably remove from my resume by the next cycle

It's worth less than a project imo

Since I did a lot but it never went anywhere

[pallid reef]

wow, that’s an interesting move, I put 26

don’t feel like lying about it

[fierce lotus]

sed

[cinder kraken]

5000+ applicants 🤯

[lunar sandal]

We need another injection of cash into the market

Cuz aint no way

[fierce lotus]

💀

[smoky flare]

Instacart had 2k+ applications in 3 days

[rose inlet]

we are all doomed

[timid tartan]

Did anyone get this email from Sentry before getting the OA? Not sure if it’s a good signal or just a false hope

[soft hamlet]

did you bypass OA

[gilded charm]

i got a shorter email will contact you soon

im guessing they updated the template

[timid tartan]

I got that too before

[timid tartan]

This is what I got 2 weeks ago

Idek what's happening anymore lmao I am confused

[timid tartan]

Lmao I doubt it

Lol ok nice, yeah one of my friends said the same thing but I just wanna verify

Hopefully I will get one soon then

[pseudo storm]

When did you guys apply?

[smoky flare]

ayo for real, the one they have tomorrow says its for fall?

[soft hamlet]

idk anymore

some people were saying it was for fall

I may have been wrong

lemme delete the message because it might be inaccurate

[soft hamlet]

KPMG closing in march

They closed one of their intern positions in march

I though it was summer but it might have been fall

[wooden lichen]

has anyone gotten an interview from workday

like an application that you submitted on workday

[ancient tartan]

I have gotten an interview from workday for 23 summer intern

oh ic

you mean interviews on workday platform?

[wooden lichen]

yeah

[ancient tartan]

I have no idea about that

[wooden lichen]

heard other ppl talking about it ive either only ever gotten ghosted or rejected from every workday app

maybe im just ass

[worldly ridge]

@vivid fiber hello sensei :3, in https://leetcode-company-tagged.vercel.app/ is 'Question Count' the number of companies the company have? and why is "Frequency" in decimals?

[vivid fiber]

1. Yes
2. Idk y it's in decimals, that's just how leetcode provides the raw data. I could convert it to numbers but that's too much effort. Just know the bigger the frequency, they more frequent.

[worldly ridge]

i love u 🐐

[vivid fiber]

I didn't make the site

[worldly ridge]

[vivid fiber]

Just bcuz som1 says it doesn't make it tru

Lern 2 tink criticly

[worldly ridge]

Okay 😉

[normal jetty]

You would get an email anyway

[strange trail]

Did anyone else apply for the OKC Thunder software Eng internship? I got asked to do a technical project, it’s my first response from applying, is it automatic it’s been a couple weeks. Also, can I use online resources to help or is that frowned upon?

[rain delta]

why is job searching this hard 😭

i just want to afford rent

[rain delta]

i feel like im going insane

[oblique crater]

you got this just keep at it

[real island]

Did you get the technical project at 7:05pm?

[eternal fossil]

https://tenor.com/view/sadness-simpsons-gif-12578198

[real island]

😭😭 fax

[strange trail]

Oh is that the pay 😭

It says it’s fully remote?

[strange trail]

Yeah 7:05

[oblique crater]

bro stop

[eternal fossil]

ok

[real island]

Seems like it was sent to everyone at the same time, not sure if they resume scanned before

[eternal fossil]

https://tenor.com/view/suicide-kms-gif-4481206

[real island]

Does oracle sponsor? It says “Able to obtain work authorization in the US in 2024.”

[timid tartan]

Huh why would they even need SWEs lmao

[oblique quiver]

if it pays 18/hr why even bother, just stay in canada at that point

[oblique quiver]

but you spend USD in US and CAD in CAN

either way, you can definitely get >24cad in canada

most mid-sized tech company will pay more than that

govt is not the only job in canada

but i still don't think it's worth

unless if the experience will lead to much greater things

you're jumping across the border for a pay increase that you could've landed inside the country

[fickle juniper]

No cap the McDonald’s by my place starts at $19/hr usd

[lunar sandal]

WTF

NYC?

[fickle juniper]

Seattle

It’s on the receipt lmao

“Hiring 19/hr” or something like this

[lunar sandal]

huh.. McDonald’s workers making more than a lot of internships in Canada

[fickle juniper]

Doesn’t even surprise me

[lunar sandal]

I made a mistake coming here I guess.

That’s actually pathetic btw

McDonald’s worker

Making

Internship competitive salary

pathetic for Canadas image in general

[strange trail]

It’s listed as fully remote so that means you could stay in Canada right?

[gilded charm]

such a vibe

[raven sphinx]

bros

its joever

pensive emoji

[timid tartan]

Yeah they shouldn't even open honestly

They have a huge waitlist of interns who got return offers lol

[oblique quiver]

Not always

They might require you to be physically in the US for legal reasons

Best to check

[ancient lake]

I emailed them to ask if they resume screen before sending out the technical project, I’ll lyk if they reply

[smoky flare]

What’s the technical project btw?

[strange trail]

Thank you

[ancient lake]

Haven’t looked too much into it, there’s a backend part and a front end part, like 4-5 steps for each

[wooden lichen]

what is this

[strange trail]

Are we supposed to do that system design paragraph aswell?

[ancient lake]

Ya I think that’s a part of it

I don’t know whether or not to actually try hard on it or not tho lol, I feel like it’s just an automatic thing they send everyone, but maybe they’ll reply to my email and lmk

[steel escarp]

so ur ghosting my message and trolling around here instead

sadge

[hallow lotus]

for what, i worked at govt and got like 23 cad

[eternal fossil]

yeah lol this is clearly a job that will lowball you after you do 3 1 hour engineer rounds

"dont a loser, take the 50k a year"

[timid trail]

What company lol

[tawny raptor]

Seems like straight forward advice

[eternal fossil]

its passive to state dont be a loser like the recruiter or finance bro is trying to be relatable or cool when it should be just plain and simple

[lunar sandal]

unpaid?

[eternal fossil]

also a non work related memory question is so subjective and its such a stupid prompt to add in an application like just see my resume and move tf on

[lunar sandal]

wew

would not give that the time of day

[placid dawn]

im at $18.13 atm

thru fswep

got extended offer. asked to increase pay

i hope they do

18 is pathetic imo

[fickle juniper]

This is an internship yes?

[placid dawn]

yee

[rain delta]

what company

is this for grammarly

oh nvm u answered

[wheat comet]

?? where

[hallow lotus]

i guess it depends on ur experience

i didn’t work at csis tho

they gave me like the upper end of the undergrad range

[fickle juniper]

Damn wow

R u remote?

[fluid flare]

anyone hear back from sentry after oa?

[placid dawn]

yu

[broken whale]

Veeva resume rejected:((

[fickle juniper]

Dude that is luxury

[gilded charm]

damn im still wating for oa if not rejection

[soft hamlet]

That's robbery

[placid dawn]

jesus

they just sent me this laptop lol

yu

Was a long fight and lots of emails til they got it approved

hehe

[soft hamlet]

business laptops are horribly overpriced because they come with unlimited support from the company + repairs and stuff

it's not just about the laptop itself

[placid dawn]

makes sense

[soft hamlet]

If they have the laptop commisioned for 10 years then they need 10 years of support on aging hardware and parts

[strange trail]

The work laptop I have has pre installed software licenses which end up raising the price a lot that can also explain the high prices

[ancient tartan]

I found that TikTok opend 24 intern and ng positions in Vancouver. Are they going to open offices there?

[soft hamlet]

it does for business

I think dell also does enterprise setups and stuff

[timid tartan]

Yo

[quartz ridge]

Tyty

[frozen brook]

u gotta be a US citizen/PR/Refugee

cause of the protected acts for space and military

[rigid meadow]

As a freshman what else can I put on resume besides education/projects/skills, I have no experience

It’s like half filled 😭

[ornate ferry]

Anyone know if stripe sponsors?

[real island]

I think they do people from my school intern there at the US offices

[ornate ferry]

Thanks for the info

[raven sphinx]

[soft hamlet]

[fierce lotus]

[fierce lotus]

[lunar sandal]

Mm it doesn’t say SWE but

I’ll apply ty

[fierce lotus]

engineering

[fluid flare]

is this intern or grad? When did you apply

[broken whale]

Grad

2 weeks ago

[flint sequoia]

Is there a good website for Canadian jobs

[drifting shore]

Wat jobs?

[timid tartan]

Wait Goldman new grad SWE isn’t in Canada right?

[midnight sequoia]

I was hearing some ex-meta intern got reached out by recruiter again? is that a rumor?

[oblique crater]

[pseudo storm]

do you guys do OAs immediately when you get them or do you wait a bit?

I mean in general

[drifting shore]

After going on cscd and asking how hard it is

[flint sequoia]

What’s cscd

Wait it’s this discord

[soft hamlet]

What jobs

There are no jobs

[flint sequoia]

Developer roles, entry level

[timid tartan]

Yep there is none so far

[flint sequoia]

Any advice, looking for entry level jobs. I have BSc degree but not in math/CS/se I had an offer but it got pushed seems like people with related degrees and experience are struggling. So someone like me feels hopeless

[flint sequoia]

I’ve been doing the Odin project to get some projects and learn some frameworks in the meantime if my offer is cancelled I’m screwed 💀

[timid tartan]

6 exp on resume, 2 FAANG+ and 1 unicorn internships, struggling 🙂

Market is horribly fcked

US market looks much better rn though

Hopefully Canada will catch up

Although that's very unrealistic lol

LMFAO

I mean..look at linkedin lol

[flint sequoia]

My friend at Deloitte said they’re posting jobs Monday

[timid tartan]

I think US is much better than Canada rn

[flint sequoia]

Because it got pushed everyone tells me to act like I don’t

April

[timid tartan]

Valid opinion IMO

[flint sequoia]

I’m competing against this I’m fucked

[timid tartan]

Oh no my resume is nothing LOL

[flint sequoia]

At least u have related experience and degree

[smoky flare]

Tbh you should cold message

recruiters on linkedin

get premium

[flint sequoia]

I was thinking of going back and getting a second degree or related masters but seems like a waste

[flint sequoia]

Waiting until I see signs of life

[timid tartan]

I think the problem isn't really that either

There's literally nothing in Canada

[flint sequoia]

Canada is the enemy of capital gain

[timid tartan]

I've been applying mostly for US positions

[timid tartan]

Lmfao

[timid tartan]

Which obviously works against my favor bcs of the H1B thing

Yeah I've cold emailed a bunch

[flint sequoia]

The company that hired me fucked me too. I was doing a CS minor and my university couldn’t schedule me into a class that wouldn’t clash with my major and I was one course away. I was gonna delay grad and take it this spring but my company told me don’t care and want me to graduate on time. Now look no minor no job

[timid tartan]

Doesn't seem to work that well so far

I only have Veeva interview scheduled

Also maybe Sentry OA is coming? Idk, just guessing based on the last email they sent to me

Other than that, nothing

[flint sequoia]

Sentry rejected me

💀😭

Also how much LC did you do before you could start solving consistently within 30min with no help

Or am I dumb

[timid tartan]

LC hard?

[drifting shore]

Never

[flint sequoia]

LC in general

[timid tartan]

Lmfao

[timid tartan]

Idk then, I am still struggling on LC hards

[flint sequoia]

How about mediums and easies

I probably couldn’t even attempt hards rn

[drifting shore]

Same, it’s either I have most of the insight or I have all the insight but can’t code it out

[flint sequoia]

My friend did 2 LC questions his whole life and got hired by apple and Amazon 💀

[flint sequoia]

Sometimes I don’t even know where to even start I just stare at the screen and cope

[drifting shore]

Average codeforces enjoyer

[timid tartan]

Idk I only have solved 183 mediums

[drifting shore]

I do that too

[timid tartan]

I don't do easies anymore

[drifting shore]

[flint sequoia]

He said “I just finesse”

[timid tartan]

I mean

[drifting shore]

Bruh

[timid tartan]

Apple and Amazon are random

[drifting shore]

Wat does that mean?

[timid tartan]

Apple usually gives LC easy but I got LC hard

Totally bombed it

Amazon gave me LC easy and LC med so yea it was ok

In the past yes

For internship

[drifting shore]

U at ?

[timid tartan]

I've interviewed with google apple amazon apple netflix in the past

[flint sequoia]

He told me they hired him for entertainment

[timid tartan]

Can't past msft resume screen

Until now

Lmfao

Dunno why

[flint sequoia]

This guy is cracked

[timid tartan]

Nah

[timid tartan]

Wait till you see waterloo grads with 4 faang+ or multiple HFTs

[flint sequoia]

I go to Waterloo lol💀

[timid tartan]

Oh shit

LOL

Aren't people super stacked there

Their resumes scare me a lot

[flint sequoia]

A lot of the kids in my CS courses were average tbh

Idk it’s a mixed bag but don’t get me wrong there are a lot of totally insane people but not as many as u think

[timid tartan]

But I think ur school has CS and SE right

[timid tartan]

Lol I see

[flint sequoia]

Ya the SE kids are insane but that program is the hardest to get into

[timid tartan]

Lmao yea those crazy resumes probably come from the SE majors then

[flint sequoia]

One time I was volunteering at convocation and only 28 people graduated in SE

[timid tartan]

💀

Damn

[drifting shore]

I have barely any hard

[flint sequoia]

But you’d be surprised how many systems design and mechatronic engineers you see in the software field at UW

[drifting shore]

Most of it are easies

[flint sequoia]

I’m gonna try and grind LC harder maybe one day it’ll hit me

I’m supposed to be doing a course rn but I’m here coping

And hoping

[timid tartan]

Like LC course? XD

[timid tartan]

Yea gotta keep doing it

[flint sequoia]

Nah web dev course

[flint sequoia]

Ya I get discouraged when keep having to search solutions

[drifting shore]

Yeah, I heard abt people doing codeforces contests daily

[timid tartan]

Btw anyone going to Hack The North 2023?

[flint sequoia]

They rejected me again

[timid tartan]

I got rejected and then accepted

Lmao

[flint sequoia]

Smh when I applied this time around I paused when it asked my gender I lied then I changed it back I should’ve kept the lie

I wanna go so bad

[timid tartan]

I put mine as male lmao

Didn't even think it that far lool

[flint sequoia]

I put a lot of thought into my application ad still got an L

[timid tartan]

Bruh how much time did you spend on it lmao

I only spent like ~30 mins I think

[flint sequoia]

Like 1.5 hours

[timid tartan]

Rip

💀

[flint sequoia]

I think I’m in my character development arc

[blazing cave]

How do you apply?

[flint sequoia]

It’s closed now

[blazing cave]

RIP🥲

[flint sequoia]

But on their website for next time

[blazing cave]

Okay

[normal jetty]

U def could , like a 2 yr second cs degree or one of those cs masters designed for ppl who didn’t do cs

[flint sequoia]

I got an offer without before the market took a turn one would having one make much of a diff ?

[normal jetty]

Like a SWE offer?

[flint sequoia]

Ya
