[normal jetty]

If I’m gonna be doing software as a career for like 30 years might as well

But idk ur good enough to get jobs already it’s a tough situation

Like to maximize chances ig u could

But that’s ur call

[flint sequoia]

I was thinking of trying to find jobs for a year or 2 if nothing changes go back I need to save money to even go back anyways

Not sure if that is a smart plan

[drifting shore]

how many internships do u hav?

[wooden lichen]

what do u think is the number of stripe apps at rn

yep

[tight gale]

2024 is gonna be crazy with the amount of jobs

[teal remnant]

Do u mean it’s going to be good ?

[meager cairn]

it's going to be crazy

[midnight sequoia]

https://jobpulse.fyi/?utm_source=discord
There are a few here if you filter by Canada

[lunar sandal]

it's going to be crazy (1)

[steel escarp]

🧢

[lunar sandal]

a job? lol

i think those of us in school have it way easier than ppl graduating/ alr graduated this year

that is just pure unlucky timing

im a 2021 hs grad 😐

[gilded charm]

are there anyother similar clearly missed the deadline for htn

[timid tartan]

Yeah ofc

There are many hackathons around Canada lol

I’m prepared to take a min wage job in the worst case

In the best case probably an SWE position with ~40k TC

[hybrid fog]

Most optimistic cs student

[midnight sequoia]

are you ng 2024?

If you have citizenship then you just jerk off to the states and get 200k TC with no problem

I lost my netflix and bloomberg offer because I didn't have that damn blue passport

[soft hamlet]

I got rejected

[oblique crater]

stfu

bro you have 5 internships stop larping as an average cs grad

go work for a think tank deep in Ottawa for 300k to manipulate news cycles for Trudeau or something

[storm stream]

Interesting diss

I agree tho... 40k is the new target

[soft hamlet]

I don't think anyone is making 300k in Ottawa

[timid tartan]

Bruh it’s not really about the quantity either lol I’ve got 6 on resume (8 total) but most of them are complete shit

Isn’t the avg like 3 faang+ internships too these days lmao

[timid tartan]

[timid tartan]

Yes

[timid tartan]

Yea no I am international here lol

[fickle juniper]

[midnight sequoia]

Damn

Are you u of t?

You ignored my dm lol

[oblique crater]

out of touch, the avg is less than 1 internship lmfao

[oblique crater]

not a diss it’s a compliment, if you’re the top of the food chain and you’re acting like this then what chance does your average uni average stats student have

[fickle juniper]

He's not out of touch, its just woe is me

[soft hamlet]

I have 2 no name internships and 2 no name freelance

[storm stream]

[oblique crater]

below average work under the table for $13 an hour

[storm stream]

They have a better chance cuz they not international

Don't disrespect the fine chefs at mcdonalds, they get my mcchicken right almost every time

[timid tartan]

Huh? I have never seen a dm from you lmao

Try to send me a dm again

[timid tartan]

Nvm got it

[timid tartan]

[timid tartan]

I promise I’m nowhere near the top

If you see my resume you’ll understand lol

[fickle juniper]

Probably a sign I should leave the server cuz it doesn't really matter and shouldn't bother me but yeah it irked me too cuz i have friends who have "lesser" internships that are struggling

[fierce lotus]

Ye but that's not enough for ft jobs nowadays lol

[fickle juniper]

And reading/seeing stuff like this doesn't help

[fierce lotus]

Ye sed this field is getting fucked

[fickle juniper]

I'm willing to bet m8 will complain until the moment he gets an offer from faang+ in US even if he hears back from every company until then

Anyway bye

[fierce lotus]

Ye this server rlly good for getting internship updates

True but you gotta have very very low expectations

Ye

True

Easier if you're in a bigger city

[timid tartan]

Yeah expect nothing lol

Don't have a target TC in ur mind

Or even target companies

[fierce lotus]

Lol

[timid tartan]

I'm having a hard time passing resume screens so I just literally apply to everything and pray

[fierce lotus]

Sed

I'd rather switch careers if it gets as bad as that

[timid tartan]

Rn it does seem really bad

[fierce lotus]

Ye ofc

[storm stream]

Marry someone with passport

@worldly ridge offering

Didn't Canada extend work visa or something for students?

It's not as bad as IS is it?

[worldly ridge]

why not marry us citizen isntead

go on NYC tinder and start swipin

son

[fierce lotus]

Easier

[timid tartan]

You mean US?

[worldly ridge]

do u want me

[fierce lotus]

Get arranged marriage

[timid tartan]

It's not about the work visa bruh

It's about passing resume screens / getting interviews LOL

[worldly ridge]

[storm stream]

Then yeah gg cuz your location is not US... Same here lmao

Wagmi tho

[worldly ridge]

or just marry a canadian billionaire

forget ur career

[timid tartan]

Brb gonna reverse the time and select a new mom

[storm stream]

My friend did that... They divorced after 2 kids... Now she chilling

100k a month

[fierce lotus]

Easier go back and change degree

[worldly ridge]

no prenup?

my childhood friend is dating a super rich oil baron family kind of dudde rn, im so happy for her, - no more rat race wiating for my turn now

[oblique crater]

I’m chillin man I graduated december 2022 with 2 internships and got a ft job, but I don’t like the negativity echo chamber and obvious trolling like “best case scenario 40k TC”, life is so much more than a SDE job you can be a server at a restaurant and make way more, it’s not like if you don’t land one right out of school you’ll immediately forget all the programming skills you’ve acquired for the last god knows how many years, just zoom out a little bit and trust the process

[storm stream]

Nope LMAO he got fucked

[oblique crater]

100k a month is wild

but hey she won at life ig

[storm stream]

people cope in different ways it's a process it's all good WAGMI

[storm stream]

Lol ya idk she got cheated on and he barely wants to see the kids it's kinda sad

[fierce lotus]

Sed

Lol

Damn

Scamming millionaires eh

[storm stream]

Hate the player

[oblique crater]

i don’t blame anyone it feels like the universe is conspiring against you if you happen to graduate around this time i’m just hear to reset people’s perception of the world as someone not stuck in this hell loop of grinding for jobs, if I do get laid off though best believe i’ll be the first to start posting depressed simpson and ryan gosling gifs

you will if keep pushing forward i guarantee it, tons of lurkers with offers here that don’t wanna say anything so it doesn’t sound like they’re bragging

[lunar sandal]

Internship situation is much much better than new grad situation

Don't worry about it

[worldly ridge]

@weak gazelle u no longer hang out with us

ever since you landed big tech in sf

[timid tartan]

Spill the tea

👀

[worldly ridge]

ill let @weak gazelle do the talking

[timid tartan]

Somebody needs to create a new big tech in Canada

Then hire everyone in this channel

Problem solved

[worldly ridge]

september is coming

millions will be hired

august flew by wow

[timid tartan]

[vernal sigil]

Why zon no return intern then

[tight gale]

@eysk

[storm stream]

They say Calgary will become Canada's Silicon Valley

[timid tartan]

There is lol

Return interns are not affected by the HC as far as I know

[timid tartan]

Silicon Valley of Oil and Gas?

[worldly ridge]

@eysk

[vernal sigil]

[storm stream]

[tight gale]

[soft hamlet]

NO NO NO NO NO

don't invite people to ottawa

Let us keep the cisco jobs :>

I didn't know that

[soft hamlet]

copium

[wooden lichen]

did u get a reply from cisco?

i love getting ghosted

[soft hamlet]

it's uncertain

hiring freeze for new grads, they are thinning out off season headcounts

in favor for bigger summer cohorts

but getting nokia would be clutch

summer

also in canada it's 200

worldwide it's 500 iirc

was like 196 students for this summer cohort

[soft hamlet]

no because I haven't applied yet

they aren't processing applications for summer in canada until like september

ok during the year

but also last year was amazing for them

revenue wise

less headcount

now

employees ik said they are slowing down / freezing non essential hiring for the next year

frfr

yeeee

yes

100%

message Linda

she's the one that does most of the hiring decisions/referrals

if you spot her at events she can get you an interview if she wants to

everyone ik that got a Nokia job met her at events 😂

[wooden lichen]

whats her linkedin

[soft hamlet]

[wooden lichen]

facts

[soft hamlet]

some first years no exp got job offers from linda

[wooden lichen]

wtffffff

what events is she at?

[soft hamlet]

pretty much every Carleton CS networking event

and uottawa

[wooden lichen]

how does she look like

need nokia

[soft hamlet]

asian, kind of short, you can pretty much spot the fact that she's in charge

yeah

she said to email her

because her linkedin messages are completely full

[lunar sandal]

man fuck nokia aint nobody wanna move to ottawa

when was the last time u heard nokia do smth

[soft hamlet]

nah fr

yes there are some york and TMU people

I've heard of a few loo and u of t sprinkled in

[soft hamlet]

some mtl companies provide relocation though

but the thing is you have to technically speak french fluently now with the new rules

which I speak french so yeah

[dim plover]

they are actually one of the leading companies in networking and telecommunications

they post about 25B euros annual revenue and have profit margins similar to that of apple

their r&d work is actually pretty cool but not like web frontend and backend stuff

[soft hamlet]

no one understands enterprise

🤣

if not consumer facing then it doesn't exist

[dim plover]

yeah that's why nobody attributes Ottawa as a tech hub

nortel went boom but the network&comms industry still thrived

[soft hamlet]

even though it's the third biggest tech hub in Canada by employee count

[soft hamlet]

yep

[rigid meadow]

Hey did anyone here do fswep?

[placid dawn]

on it

[rigid meadow]

Can I dm you

[zenith eagle]

how many days after roblox school email did u guys get oa?

pls help

[drifting shore]

[storm stream]

i never got OA

💀

[zenith eagle]

i applied with ref as well

[tight gale]

although I applied 3 times

so waiting for one more

[tight gale]

[storm stream]

LOL too late I got double-rejected

[lunar sandal]

[placid dawn]

sure

[real island]

I’m assuming you did, but just incase check your junk I saw the email there

[zenith eagle]

what email?

[real island]

[e-mail]

Email them from your school email that’s important

[strange trail]

How was the Roblox OA?

Mine is due Friday but I still barely have any DS&A question skills

[worldly ridge]

Mayebn @timid tartan was right

1 yoe or 10yoe dont matter if u cant leetcode nowadays

[timid tartan]

Told ya

[timid tartan]

Literally my future job

Fml

[vivid fiber]

I don't like bringing this up because it's all anecdotal

[worldly ridge]

yeah, who knows what OP is applying to

[vivid fiber]

OP also is only looking for remote only

I'd also assume they're only applying to top jobs (they were at Lyft)

And most big tech are all moving to RTO

So that could be the issue...

[worldly ridge]

im sure OP will be okay 🙂

[vivid fiber]

Yeah, I'm sure they will land something

Tbh there's not much value at reading these posts

This person's circumstances are very different than most people on this server (who are early-career)

I'm actually slightly optimistic for this year

Instacart and Stripe both opened in Canada

Which is a v good sign imo

Stripe and Instacart both had valuations cut in the last year

Stripe didn't hire new grads last year, and Instacart almost exclusively hires senior

[lunar sandal]

New grad or intern????

[worldly ridge]

September is coming, hopefully more positions are open

[vivid fiber]

Stripe did both

Instacart was only ng afaik

[lunar sandal]

Ye but isn’t stripe hyper competitive

I don’t see their posting anywhere

[vivid fiber]

Yes, but my point still stands

[lunar sandal]

#grad_postings_old

[oblique quiver]

`huh, they're on their website lol

[normal jetty]

When u get the email verification email in your school email, it says please click here to verify your email address

[eager haven]

how does stripe referal work? do you use the regular link or do you use a special link?

[timid tartan]

Imagine getting referred to Stripe

[hybrid fog]

Bro pls stop crying

[storm stream]

Fuck I didn't realize stripe posted Toronto as well

Applying 2 days late gg 🙃

[wooden lichen]

sad truth but doesn’t hurt to send an app

[timid tartan]

Dude that's why you gotta be on ur laptop 24/7 lol

Or at least check linkedin every 30 minutes

[storm stream]

Fuck dude.... I caught the troll post that got removed

Then the real one

Both US

Applied instantly

Then stopped checking

Fuck

[timid tartan]

It's fine, I applied early but it's not like I'm gonna pass the resume screen anyway

[faint echo]

ive never been to these type of events, would it help find a job at all ?

[meager cairn]

better go and find out young buck

[timid tartan]

I mean...it's a networking event regardless

Always good to attend such events

[faint echo]

any specific dress code? business casual?

[eager haven]

I was told by a stripe fulltime that he’ll refer me but still hasn’t responded since swe internship opened, do I just apply without the referal?

[timid tartan]

Yeah you’re already super late

Better send an app asap

[eager haven]

do you know how the referal works? is it a separate link?

[magic perch]

Asking for referrals always feels terrible for me personally if I am not that close to the person. If I have a colleague I worked with closely a few years ago, but we fell out of touch, it feels awful re-starting that relation by effectively asking for a professional favor.

[magic perch]

Anyone else feel this way? Do the rest of you try hard to get referrals to spots or do you usually cold apply when you don't know someone well/havent spoken to them in a bit?

[wooden lichen]

yeah i hate it

just tried messaging this guy for meta referral that i was good with but he left me on read

[azure spire]

no, i am based so i will do based things if i get hired

thus their clout goes up

mutually beneficial

[lunar sandal]

Meta is hiring in Canada ?

no they aren’t

[wooden lichen]

no but for their future postings

[eager haven]

he’s really leaving me on read 😔

[wooden lichen]

facts

[magic perch]

Ideally they see it that positively. Like I personally wouldn’t care much if someone reached out to me after 2 years for a referral and I thought they were decent.

But as you can see based on all the people who get left on read, not everyone feels similarly I guess, which feels bad.

[soft hamlet]

It doesn't matter tbh

[dark wren]

why does ripplematch not have canada in their list of countries 😢

[soft hamlet]

If you care that much then disconnect with them

You shouldn't expect anything out of people

It's cool when there are mutual relationships to get each other up but it's not an expectation

[drifting shore]

In USA

[rain delta]

is it me or are the number of job postings for canada going down

[raw ocean]

it is

[rain delta]

do u mean to say that they are going down or that its only me who thinks so

[meager cairn]

theres been like 5 canadian openings

if we get even 1 in the next year it’s only going up ^-^

[rain delta]

i try to apply to 10 jobs per day. but im struggling to do that lately

[meager cairn]

if you're going for summer 2024 start that's basically impossible rn but for immediate hire it's doable

[rain delta]

i graduated this may, i had a job offer from amazon lined up but they delayed me to january

so im available to start asap or in a few months

but still i am struggling on hitting 10 apps/day

[formal galleon]

Yo amazon canada internships havent opened right?

I got rejected for the US one within a day lol

[formal galleon]

How can you even hit 10 a day theres literally nothing

Linkedin isnt showing me anything its so frustrating

[meager cairn]

apply to ur bakery

[rain delta]

yeah thats what im complaining about

i dont want to doom but it feels impossible to land a job rn

[pseudo storm]

how long does it take to even hit 10 a day

[rain delta]

i tried to aim for an hour

but ive been searching across multiple websites

so its taking longer

man this tech climate is making me want to get out of canada

[meager cairn]

it'll improve

[rain delta]

people keep saying that

[meager cairn]

it serves you to believe it'll improve

[wooden lichen]

goal when i graduate

[timid tartan]

Goddamn I was late af with this

Rip

[rain delta]

why does application date matter

[earnest mortar]

i presume its because we assume applications are reviewed by recruiters on a chronological basis

[meager cairn]

it hasn't even hit grad postings or github yet lol ur good

[timid tartan]

Not even the date tbh, the exact time you apply kinda matter in this market lol

I always aim to apply within the first 30 mins after something is posted

[rain delta]

wtf

how can u even time it like that

unless ur glued to ur computer all day

[timid tartan]

Yes I am

LOL

I lock myself in my room and just sit in front of my laptop the whole day

There's no other choice tbh

[meager cairn]

I think as long as you apply on the day it's posted or whenever it's on simplify, gh, etc

[rain delta]

me too but idk if spending the whole day on job hunting is worth it

[meager cairn]

your application time shouldnt matter

[timid tartan]

For me it's worth it bcs I just wanna get off the street

[earnest mortar]

why do i feel like there are a ton of people just hovering channels on this server lol

[rain delta]

are u homeless

[timid tartan]

Last thing I wanna be is becoming a beggar

[timid tartan]

No LOL

Not right now

[meager cairn]

[rain delta]

@earnest mortar hello fellow amazon delayed

[earnest mortar]

greetings

uhh idk yet

[timid tartan]

I'm incoming amazon waitlisted

Just gonna wait for that stupid waitlist email and cry

[rain delta]

i was waitlisted too before getting an offer

and then i thought all the pain was over

but then they delayed me and i had to move back in with my parents

which has been hell because my dad is verbally abusive

so my life has been pretty depressing lately with not even a single job interview

there seems to be no hope

[steel escarp]

[oblique quiver]

i manually typed in canada but im pre sure it corrected to other

I wasn't able to get the application dropdowns to work correctly, so I have no idea how my app was parsed

[strange trail]

Same

[soft hamlet]

why does UKG force you to have a current position

it scraped my resume wrong

I'll just put my internship in

even tho it ended a few weeks ago

I'm scared, UKG's ATS did a terrible job on Jake's resume

[fierce lotus]

UKG open?

not canada tho sed

[soft hamlet]

only US with no sponsorship

[fierce lotus]

why u applying then

[soft hamlet]

I didn't read the job posting completely

😔

[fierce lotus]

lol

ye

most aint sponsored

[vivid fiber]

That doesn't matter

If the job app lets you manually enter resume info then it doesn't matter how it parses

It only matters for jobs that don't let you manually enter resume info

Like Lever or Greenhouse postings

[soft hamlet]

last year they rejected all Meta interns, and became a thing on blind

[quartz ridge]

[midnight sequoia]

Too ambitious, they say

[hot rapids]

Probably bc they thought they would dip asap as soon as a better offer came up

[strange trail]

[quartz ridge]

[meager cairn]

[vivid fiber]

You didn't mention Shopify or Wealthsimple...

Which is what I'd consider good Canadian tech companies

[drifting shore]

[vivid fiber]

Nah...

But Doordash is

So is Stripe

[meager cairn]

doordash aint out for ng

[tight gale]

[worldly ridge]

@timid tartan yell at their bbt workers

💀

[steel escarp]

is it illegal to not pay your employees on time in canada?

[worldly ridge]

yeah wtf

[steel escarp]

the start up is fucked

[smoky flare]

[worldly ridge]

[steel escarp]

oh no

only legit company

aim high lol

cali or bust

that's what @worldly ridge usually said

people are too afraid of getting replaced by AI lol

but they forgot who develop those AI

i didn't find devops/sre is that fun

especially when you have tuff on calls

because if a service breaks, you will be the first one who gets noticed

and sre will have to support multiple services not just one

[worldly ridge]

@weak gazelle literaly never chats here again after breaking to SF

[hot rapids]

I would lose my mind if I had to work in SRE in a full-time role 😭

go bald at age 30, take up chain smoking, become an alcoholic

[steel escarp]

oh shit so ur the chainsmokers

[smoky flare]

If I'm asking around for referrals on linkedin should I also just apply to the job before anyone gets back to me?

So I'm an early applicant

or will it be a double application if someone refers later

[smoky flare]

Can mentors network with sponsors at HackTheNorth?

[lunar sandal]

Pretty sure u can talk to whoever u want, as a general rule in life 😮

Unless there’s like a sponsor networking section that’s reserved for specific ppl

[weak gazelle]

hi

[soft hamlet]

I'd do SRE yeah

I love infra and system design

[eager haven]

have there been any major swe summer 2024 internship postings other than stripe, doordash, sentry for toronto?

[soft hamlet]

wtf

[wooden lichen]

facts

[fierce lotus]

2 months late sir

[soft hamlet]

[shy saddle]

for CSE, did you get multiple OAs for different languages? I got 4 emails and idk if i'm supposed to do all of them

[eternal fossil]

Yea

You get a different OA for every language

Pretty stupid but it is what it is

But to answer you q, yes you’re supposed to do all of them

[shy saddle]

bruh

thanks

[faint echo]

anyone get any response from CSE? i finished the OAs like 2-3 weeks ago

[eternal fossil]

ive been in the pipeline for 2 months now

if you dont hear back after a month

its gg

[faint echo]

how good did u do on them?

[eternal fossil]

100%

both C and python

they send you a follow up email a few weeks later like oh you did amazing on your OAs we are now sending out your profile to managers

and after that just ghost

i even attended a job fair by CSE and CSIS

talked to managers

talked to recruiters

not much you can do tbh

they have one coming up in september, give it a shot if you like

also they have like 6-7 people at these "job fairs" or info fairs

and most of em are just offline

[faint echo]

do you have a link for the job fair?

[eternal fossil]

you can ask to have em look at your profile too and even then all they have to say is that hey it usually takes 6 months

[tight gale]

[strange trail]

Any tips on landing one of the sophomore only positions at like step, explore, Mets university, Uber star etc? Is there any way to increase my appeal as a candidate cause I know it’s a lot of luck

[azure spire]

have big ass

[eager haven]

anyone hear back from sentry after oa?

[placid dawn]

interesting company

[quartz ridge]

GUYS NOKIA POSTED LETS FKING GOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

lets gooo

nokia is top tier in canada imo

[tight gale]

fr?

[wheat comet]

nah

i somehow got 2 oas

idk if thats supposed to happen

but

yea

[real mason]

I went through their interview loop last year, I ended up talking to someone from CSE at a career fair and they helped me get to the interview stage faster since I already completed the OA. Started the process in October 2022 and it ended February 2023 lol

[faint echo]

is there a place where I can find career fairs?

[soft hamlet]

summer 24?

[real mason]

I found it through my university

[soft hamlet]

I'm waiting to go to an IRL event to go meet LK

to maybe get a referral 🥺

[quartz ridge]

I mean they’re big companies so it is big tech…?

[eternal fossil]

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

[pearl trout]

Wonder how long you got the oa after applying,

[storm stream]

Nokia -> Apple pipeline is real for cellular

[soft hamlet]

Cisco

[soft hamlet]

I'd bet Cisco -> Apple is more common

[storm stream]

Nokia and Ericsson are feeders

For cellular/wireless stuff

[analog current]

At cisco rn how do i maximize chances at apple

How tf do u even get into apple

[lunar sandal]

anyone heard back after Goldman OA

[soft hamlet]

some of my unis' alumni basically just sent out a ton of connections to apple people on linkedin (mostly other alumni) and then got a referral

I don't have the balls to do that because I have no big N

apparently tho recruitment is on a per team basis

so you have to find an in there

[pseudo storm]

can someone send the link to that mongo event at the msft building. I can't find it.

[tight gale]

Is this just intern?

[eager haven]

applied on 7th, got OA on 11th, completed it 14th

[analog current]

Alr time to go brazy on linkedin i guess

[jovial shard]

aren't they sending interviews sept 11?

[eager haven]

oh yeah true its mentioned in the email

[quartz ridge]

anyone from canada have like 0 interviews for summer 2024

i think its a canadian thing

where they dont wanna sponsor us

[oblique quiver]

Not 0 but very few

[lapis tide]

bro flexing the nonzero interviews

[quartz ridge]

got some for fall, but summer is actually just a black hoel

[oblique quiver]

Nowadays i just wake up to a bunch of rejection emails

[reef niche]

Anyone know if one would pass OA even if not completing perfectly? Like 60-70% and still passed ?

[lapis tide]

bro flexing the nonghost

[oblique quiver]

Really depends on the company

[reef niche]

Veeva?

[reef niche]

What do u mean

[oblique quiver]

Some places will not care about OA, some do

[reef niche]

Places like Veeva?

[oblique quiver]

Unsure. Not really something worth thinking avout if you've already done it

[drifting shore]

plasmatic is the only one who is allowed to flex

[quartz ridge]

nah u relax

theres like 100 if u have eyes and a brain

[oblique quiver]

I am getting rejections all day :-)

[teal remnant]

Only Canada there is 10 to 15 for s24

Nokia is open for winter 24
