[vivid fiber]

[vivid fiber]

oh i rmbr u now

[fierce lotus]

oh

[quartz ridge]

yeah

[soft hamlet]

The startup I work at is healthy af rn

They have good cashflow

[fierce lotus]

startup i was at is hiring like crazy

but in india tho...

[lunar sandal]

overseas work exp

[fierce lotus]

cheap

[lapis tide]

Move to India

[soft hamlet]

Wtf

[fierce lotus]

they pay 6k/yr

[lapis tide]

Perfect

[soft hamlet]

I worked WFH remote for a NYC and London UK cofounded startup

[lapis tide]

As opposed to in office remote

[soft hamlet]

it costed them nothing to hire me basically

[fierce lotus]

nice

put NYC then

[vivid fiber]

the startup i work for is deep in the red

but thats what vc money is for 🤷‍♂️

[quartz ridge]

is the pay good there

[vivid fiber]

/jk

[vivid fiber]

i think its good

[soft hamlet]

The startup got a fat vc seed

And hasn't needed funding so far I think the founders bootstrapped it partly

[lapis tide]

Respect

Imagine starting a business that makes money

[soft hamlet]

Also it paid well for a first year tho I could have asked for more

[quartz ridge]

my firs tjob i got like 19/hr

it was quite rough time

coudl barely afford food.housing

[soft hamlet]

Oh it's not my company I meant like the startup I worked at

Also it's starting to make money

[lapis tide]

I figured yeah

Just sayin

[soft hamlet]

They just launched and started selling a premium tier

I helped the launch

[lapis tide]

I don’t think making money is a priority of a lot of places

[soft hamlet]

It is now that VC funding has gone to shit

[lapis tide]

Yeah lmao until interest rates became 1 trillion percent

[lunar sandal]

what does ur startup do

fundamentally, no bullshit VC pleasing talk

[lapis tide]

Yeah what does your personal startup that you founded do

[soft hamlet]

I mean my own business is software consultancy but that's another thing

[lapis tide]

I hope it incorporates fungible tokens

[soft hamlet]

The startup I interned at is basically a hybrid between like notion but more data viz focused

Basically you can get something presentable within 15-20 mins without having to wrestle with Excel and having to make it look good

[lapis tide]

Tf

Youll hate yourself if you dont try

[drifting shore]

[soft hamlet]

You can send people a read-only link but they can manipulate numbers and have dynamic calculations

[drifting shore]

u get a 7 figure seed round and hire me

[soft hamlet]

Good for like ROI calculators and stuff

[lunar sandal]

now get all the companies reliant on excel to use ur product

aka big banks

[drifting shore]

are they a commie?

[soft hamlet]

Iirc the founders pivoted towards startups

[lunar sandal]

im jus being a dick for no reason

dont mind me

[soft hamlet]

Other startups are using it for sales purposes

[drifting shore]

[lunar sandal]

tfw

[soft hamlet]

Wtf

[lunar sandal]

cant drop out

[soft hamlet]

[lunar sandal]

cuz need PR

[soft hamlet]

I wanna drop out rn pursue business

But it's also irresponsible AF on my end

[lapis tide]

Famously prestigious carleton business

[soft hamlet]

Nah not like a degree

Like run my business FT

[lapis tide]

🤣

[soft hamlet]

Carleton sprott doodoo

[lapis tide]

Everyone knows you need a business degree for businessing

[drifting shore]

thats tru commie

[lapis tide]

Didn’t know it had a name lmao

[soft hamlet]

Some rich dude that paid for everyone's tuition in the early days of Carleton business

[lapis tide]

John sprott

[quartz ridge]

well i guess

i shouldnt be that mad

that im not getting anything

im just a poor canadian in an american man's world

[soft hamlet]

Born in the wrong year

[quartz ridge]

🐑

[soft hamlet]

If you were born like 5 years before

[quartz ridge]

if i was born 5 years ago i would be the head cto of Ramp

[soft hamlet]

[lapis tide]

Man i love my workday jobs

[soft hamlet]

What company

GS?

[lapis tide]

Gs does not use my workday jobs

[drifting shore]

[soft hamlet]

Thinking about it

[lapis tide]

Still got a few days

[soft hamlet]

Microsoft explore summer 2023

Never rejected me

[quartz ridge]

hope canada opens some half decent jobs

soon

[lapis tide]

i love the wealth of opportunities available to us

[quartz ridge]

i think its not even that im not getting any hits

its also further demoralizing

that everyone int he summer '24 intern process channel

is getting infinite

that juxtaposition

is just pouring salt on the wound

[lapis tide]

are they

[quartz ridge]

process citadel offer

process linkedin phone

[lapis tide]

linkedin is crazy lmao

[quartz ridge]

my entire feed is just people

[lapis tide]

[soft hamlet]

I was sub 60 applicant

Still ghost

[lapis tide]

again

sub 30

[soft hamlet]

I'm going insane

[lapis tide]

[soft hamlet]

I'm a '25 grad date now tho

we'll see going forwards

If acting like '25 actually makes a difference

[lapis tide]

certainly a negative difference for uber star

[quartz ridge]

prob not much diff

its more resume content no?

[novel dome]

u can be any grad u want

its 2023

[soft hamlet]

Well I changed my grad date to undefined on linkedin

[lapis tide]

time to dox

[novel dome]

at this rate, be a 2050 grad

[soft hamlet]

So I can just change between 25 and 26 as convenient

[quartz ridge]

honeslty in this economy

it might acc be worht

[lapis tide]

that is how we get microsoft explore

[quartz ridge]

doing either a masters

or delaying grad by like 2 years

[soft hamlet]

[quartz ridge]

juts so that u dodge this 2023 job market

where its fking

1/3 of the job postings

compared to 2021

or 2022

[lapis tide]

what if its worse

i would find that hilarious

[soft hamlet]

2024 will be worse

[quartz ridge]

it's like objectively bad

tho lol

[soft hamlet]

[quartz ridge]

like everyone complaining is not just survivorship bias

its acc just way less postings

compared to prev years

[soft hamlet]

I got rejected from doordash toronto

[lapis tide]

nah everyone just complains lmao

[quartz ridge]

def not as bad as the dot com bubble

but still pretty bad

[novel dome]

[soft hamlet]

[quartz ridge]

its weird but

i havent heard anything back

[soft hamlet]

[novel dome]

[quartz ridge]

[novel dome]

j (future dd intern)

[quartz ridge]

[soft hamlet]

They were open?

[novel dome]

gotta go pester ceo uk

a referal from them should bypass resume

[soft hamlet]

They had like nothing on the job posting, is it one of those "haha job isn't transparent" type of deal

[novel dome]

(hopefully)

[quartz ridge]

yeah

i got rejected from both

asana reject stung like a bumblebee

65k is decent

[soft hamlet]

Bitcoin

[quartz ridge]

[quartz ridge]

IMO normal ng in canada is lkie 65-85k

[rain delta]

how do u afford an apartment in vancouver with 65k

[quartz ridge]

u dont

tbh

[soft hamlet]

Vancouver rent is like 2.5k-3k a month

[quartz ridge]

but like

imagine

interning at some place

that pays u less than that

there are interns in vancouver making 45k

living and sruviving

[tight gale]

[rain delta]

[tight gale]

[oblique quiver]

they sent a rejection a day after I applied

[fierce lotus]

oh

[oblique quiver]

and then like 2 months later they send a "thank you for applying, here's the process moving forward"

im considering confirming with them that I'm in the process

[fierce lotus]

2 months??

Hmm

[oblique quiver]

nvm, it was like 2 weeks

mb

i applied aug 3, rejected aug 4, got told i was still in the process with a much more complex email aug 18

from what I heard the latter email means you'll get OA email soon (tm)

it's a "thanks for applying" email but details the hiring process, timeline, and includes an interview prep guide

[fierce lotus]

Oh

Lol

[signal falcon]

anyone up for peer mock interviews - ( dsa , cp, system design, machine coding ) -DM
mainly looking for system design

[soft hamlet]

Notion 2024 is out

I just checked it

[lapis tide]

Damn

[soft hamlet]

I'm late

[soft hamlet]

[drifting shore]

[real island]

Wait they opened Toronto then closed and reposted Lux?

[lapis tide]

no toronto

[real island]

Oh wait I’m buggin I get it now

[soft hamlet]

Nah there are york people

There was a first year from york

He did winter and summer of his first year

Though you do have to relocate probably

196 summer interns, 160 or them are in person hybrid

[soft hamlet]

north gower isn't even a thing anymore I'm pretty sure

it's been absorbed into kanata

[oblique quiver]

New day new rejection

:-)

[soft hamlet]

[soft hamlet]

[rain delta]

linkedin so dry rn

😔

[ancient tartan]

anyone got hr call from Veeva Toronto?

[hot rapids]

Are you only looking for new grad or intern as well?

[rain delta]

i graduated

so new grad

[hot rapids]

Wouldn’t it be feasible to do a 4 month internship for fall to wait for Jan

[rain delta]

i think most internships require u to be going back to school

[hot rapids]

There are a few that take new grads :)

[rain delta]

o interesting

[storm stream]

Hello Canadians

Do you think that wagmi?

[hallow urchin]

EXACTLY

nokia application site is the worst ive ever seen omg

[hallow urchin]

i got instant rejected from doordash toronto
breh
like im pretty sure i said i have work auth for canada

no

yeah but i forget my login
and then to do a password change, it needs my username + email
why tf does there need to be a username 😭
so i forgot my username too
or didnt receive the reset link

but their positions are cool sounding

[analog current]

How much are their new grad salaries?

[tight gale]

Can you negotiate

[soft hamlet]

Depends on position, I think it's 75k-80k across most positions

Though they have a hiring freeze rn for non essential positions so there are less positions out

Besides Bell, Ottawa companies are freezing rather than laying off

We haven't had a big layoff in a long while

Shopify isn't really an Ottawa company anymore

[analog current]

Damn thats kinda low

[soft hamlet]

It's ottawa

Our living costs are half as much as Toronto

[analog current]

Cisco pays toronto salaries (hopefully im not deluded)

In ottawa

[soft hamlet]

Uhhhhhh

I don't think so

[analog current]

I make 86k prorated as a co op

[soft hamlet]

[analog current]

So

[soft hamlet]

Ok then perhaps

[analog current]

I get a base bump + stocks + sign on bonus

[soft hamlet]

I've heard 100k new grad from a couple people

[analog current]

Ive seen 130 new grad on levels

Not sure how accurate that is tho

[soft hamlet]

I gotta get myself into Cisco then goddamn

[lucid berry]

any new grad open??

[analog current]

Im hoping thats true

[soft hamlet]

I got interview last year

[analog current]

Theyll open in December

[soft hamlet]

Any chances I get interview this cycle

[analog current]

Actually ya

[lucid berry]

fr??

[soft hamlet]

I got in last year without doing OA, first year w a HS internship

[lucid berry]

going to do my interviews at 10 PM

[analog current]

Manager said december, recruiter said oct/nov

[lucid berry]

for where

[analog current]

Cisco ottawa

[soft hamlet]

I went to an event and got a referral link from a recruiter

[analog current]

Bro u woulda been cracked if they lowed u in

[soft hamlet]

So I got interview a few weeks after it

No

[analog current]

Hrt new grad

[soft hamlet]

I shit the bed in the interview

[analog current]

Damn who was interviewing u bro

My interviewers were pretty chill peeps

[soft hamlet]

And they were like oh wait ur a first year

Uhhhh

Someone named Jad I think

[analog current]

Man u shoulda capped ur way outta that one

[soft hamlet]

I was supposed to be considered for two teams

But one dude didn't show up to the interview

I got interviewed by 2 people in the same team doing legacy angular

I was applying with no web dev on resume, java focused

[analog current]

Damn u kinda got snaked

[soft hamlet]

the dude that was supposed to show up was backend

[analog current]

You’ll get a nice team next cycle

[soft hamlet]

hopefully I get forwarded to interview because I've interviewed with them before

[analog current]

Yo im boutta @ all of canada i wanna know how much cisco pays new grad

Any other numbers u heard

[soft hamlet]

what'd ya get

[barren sinew]

Also I'm in US

[soft hamlet]

ah

US is different since they get paid a lot more

[analog current]

Bro where in the US

[barren sinew]

Seattle

[analog current]

Sub 130k in seattle?

[barren sinew]

Yep

[soft hamlet]

I've heard the 100k figure tossed around a couple times last year

[analog current]

Damn so Amazon really is the best employer in canada

[soft hamlet]

nah

dairy commision

an alumni at my uni got tech lead at the dairy commision with a good ass salary his entire team left and within a few years he was the most senior

[analog current]

Ok so ill try my best to have a competing offer for negotiation then

[soft hamlet]

[analog current]

I like cisco i dont mind staying and ottawa is cheap

[barren sinew]

Yea I tried to push for levels showed and the recruiter threatened to go to the next candidate

[soft hamlet]

[barren sinew]

So I caved immediately

[lapis tide]

ontario teachers pension plan

[soft hamlet]

employees have no bargaining power these days

it is what it is

[analog current]

Uuuh shit that doesnt sound good

[soft hamlet]

unironically a good choice

[analog current]

Ya they pay pretty good bro

[lapis tide]

what is their pay

[soft hamlet]

100k average

[analog current]

Thats more than cisco damn

[soft hamlet]

• 6k cash bonus

[lapis tide]

this will never not make me chuckle

[frosty axle]

i got mine this monday

[soft hamlet]

kinda mid tho, I think you have to be in Toronto for some positions

[barren sinew]

Isn't OTPP one of the largest pension funds in the world?

[soft hamlet]

yes

[lapis tide]

they own a bunch of real estate too

[soft hamlet]

pretty much every major mall in Canada is owned by them

And a decent share of the US ones

[lapis tide]

yeah its hilarious

[soft hamlet]

they have a monopoly on a certain industry I forgot

Some kind of agriculture

[lapis tide]

they have a monopoly on paying pensions of ontario teachers

🥶 🥶 🥶

[soft hamlet]

also they own a bunch of UK airports

[ancient tartan]

I also got one, but idk what's their preference

how to answer the bqs to get followup

[soft hamlet]

also don't they own like desalination plants in australia

[barren sinew]

Sheesh

Teachers chugging along with their 55k salary owning half the world's infrastructure

[frosty axle]

same here im clueless this is my first swe interview ever

[soft hamlet]

oh right I just searched it up

They have a monopoly on mussels

[lapis tide]

mfw top out at 103k

[soft hamlet]

senior teachers make like 80k-90k

[tight gale]

What jobs open

[soft hamlet]

my civics and careers teacher had like 5 years of foreign teaching experience + 2 degrees and got top of the range at my board

something ~95k

[lapis tide]

lovely salaries

[soft hamlet]

[lapis tide]

lovely salary

[soft hamlet]

[soft hamlet]

[lapis tide]

deflation

dude

lmao

[soft hamlet]

or maybe I was thinking TC

I forgor

[lapis tide]

what fucking tc lmao

stock in the nations children

[soft hamlet]

including their expenses

with benefits and shit

[lapis tide]

idk their benefits all seem to be like 2k max

or maybe they arent on the list

[barren sinew]

It's not a bad career with the pension, but their career progression is pretty slow and even their max isn't all that much after 10 years and a masters degree

[analog current]

i can be making 2m tc after 10 years

[barren sinew]

Better to work in the federal/provincial government if you still want a great pension

[analog current]

in ottawa too

[barren sinew]

Discounting the fact that teachers are essential for a nations future

[analog current]

[steel escarp]

I think thats usd lol my friend told me nokia pay around 90k+ or sthing for ng

[soft hamlet]

it says on the side

CA

[steel escarp]

maybe the forgot to update the currency

[soft hamlet]

I've heard of 90k offers but they aren't particularly common, maybe just return offers

I've talked to people who got 70-80k offers as well

maybe after negotiating

[steel escarp]

👀

[soft hamlet]

in Ottawa tho you probably can't go above 90k besides Cisco

[steel escarp]

maybe you have to use a nokia phone to get 90k+

[steel escarp]

i think ibm can 👀

[soft hamlet]

Someone ik drew a nokia phone and handed the drawing to the recruiters at a conference

and got an interview because of it

[steel escarp]

[soft hamlet]

it started a convo

and that's all that matters really

if you have a way to hook a recruiter into actually caring about your existence you likely have a good chance

[steel escarp]

[ornate ferry]

Anyone got the stripe OA for the Canadian position

[strange trail]

I hope he’s lying cause I’ve been salty all summer 😭

He had a referral so he got the job after first year, maybe it wasn’t rbc but it was that or CIBC

[lapis tide]

interesting

ive only heard rbc cm in the us pay close to 48

Damn.... Instacart reject

My resume checked 99% of their requirements too

Oh well

[weak gazelle]

only capital markets in the US could pay around that

in CAD

[ornate ferry]

Not yet just hoping they haven’t sent out the OA for the Canadian position yet

[wide prairie]

what question to expect from sentry oa

[hallow urchin]

nope D:

[timid tartan]

I don’t think this is possible lol

I got 40/hr last time and my recruiter told me that’s the max for undergrad interns

[steel escarp]

possible if its nyc rbc

🤷

[earnest mortar]

same D:

[storm stream]

Was it a real post? I can't believe I got rejected 😭

[earnest mortar]

i got an email

[storm stream]

Me too but like... Why 😭

[earnest mortar]

tbh it wasn't really a "reject", they just found other candidates

most likely an rng issue

i highly doubt a recruiter saw my resume

[timid tartan]

Nah not yet

But it’s very possible that everybody here failed to pass the resume screen

IIRC Stripe just ghosts instead of sending rejection emails

[earnest mortar]

true stripe has probably the highest resume standard

[timid tartan]

Ye exactly lol

[ornate ferry]

I definitely got a rejection letter from them before lol

[storm stream]

Lol that's literally a reject

[earnest mortar]

i dont really count it as one xD

[timid tartan]

I got an interview with them last year for their internship position

[storm stream]

Maybe it's graduation date :/

[timid tartan]

But I don't think I will pass the resume screen this year

[storm stream]

@timid tartan did you hear back from instacart?

[timid tartan]

Nothing yet

[storm stream]

[timid tartan]

Maybe they forgot to send my rejection email

[storm stream]

why did I get rejected

I have ruby on rails, AWS, everything they want

brb crying

[storm stream]

Please refer me when you get in

[timid tartan]

4 faang+ is the bar bro

Welcome to the reality

[storm stream]

fuck dude

[timid tartan]

I'll get an offer from Homeless Inc. Still want a referral?

[storm stream]

I'll take anything

At this point

[timid tartan]

[storm stream]

It's probably grad year

Enjoy instacart bro they gonna IPO and moon

[timid tartan]

I only like trees

Dp is so annoying

[storm stream]

How do I learn dp

Any suggestions

[storm stream]

MIT DSA course explains really well

[storm stream]

If you wanna start from scratch

[timid tartan]

[teal remnant]

Seen it a lot in oa

[lapis tide]

i feel like its overrated for interns and ng

[timid tartan]

Nah DP is def in OAs

[lapis tide]

sure

[teal remnant]

Yeah but very common in oa’s tho

[timid tartan]

I've got DP questions several times

[lapis tide]

tf are these places

[teal remnant]

Did you just learn from leetcode discuss section ?

[timid tartan]

And also LC hard becomes more frequent tbh

[timid tartan]

Nah

[lapis tide]

[teal remnant]

Any suggestions for where to start

[timid tartan]

Neetcode

[teal remnant]

Yeah but that’s like 10 que for dp is that enough

[timid tartan]

Just do more then

Do some random questions

[teal remnant]

But what about theory

[timid tartan]

There's no theory lmfao

[teal remnant]

Like straight to questions

Oh I see

[timid tartan]

If you understand what DP is then that's it

[storm stream]

[timid tartan]

LMAO

[rain delta]

i mean i know people told me it was bad

[timid tartan]

Yeah same

[rain delta]

but i realized it was bad when i was at 250 apps and 0 OAs

[timid tartan]

But I thought it wasn't this bad

[timid tartan]

[lapis tide]

[rain delta]

[lapis tide]

[acoustic moss]

😦

[teal remnant]

Mannnnnnn

Also that sentry oa so tough they started giving oa to people who got rejected in first place lol

[lapis tide]

[meager cairn]

llm isn't great at solving lc

[lunar sandal]

llm is text generator bro not an AGI

[meager cairn]

gpt = llm

[rain delta]

[lapis tide]

whats gpt

whats oa

[timid tartan]

Yea I got waitlisted for return new grad

[meager cairn]

large language model. gpt is an example of an llm

[lunar sandal]

thats what they're actually called, openai slapped on the General Purpose Transformer onto theirs

[lapis tide]

i prefer medium sized language models

[rain delta]

[lunar sandal]

i didnt get no sentry oa after my rejection email :/

waiting ! ^_^

[rain delta]

i thought the economy in canada was getting better

theres no recession

[acoustic moss]

The banks will probably hire

But that’s it?

[rain delta]

[meager cairn]

https://leetcode.com/problems/number-of-burgers-with-no-waste-of-ingredients/

[timid tartan]

[meager cairn]

[timid tartan]

No new grad job today?

Is this all we're gonna have lmao rip

[storm stream]

come work in retail with me

[timid tartan]

Are you actually working in retail rn?

[storm stream]

I work for Google

[timid tartan]

As a janitor?

[timid tartan]

[storm stream]

I have Google HP and Nintendo on my retail resume

I can pass any resume screen

[barren sinew]

Is this for J1 or TN or H1B?

[lapis tide]

Idk but default intern is j1 right

Tn you gotta grad

H1b for dual intent

[barren sinew]

Gotcha. So this was for an internship

[lapis tide]

Yeah i assume

It was in intern process

[barren sinew]

RBC capital markets didn't show up to my interview. I pushed the recruiter and was ghosted.

[storm stream]

Interns are J1... but probably applies to all of them

[lapis tide]

Tn doesnt need sponsor no?

[storm stream]

Technically no... they have to send you some documents

but some companies treat that as "sponsorship" still

[barren sinew]

I'm hoping they only mean it for J1 since TN is significantly easier for the company than J1

[lapis tide]

What

[storm stream]

@barren sinew is LinkedIn hiring NG you think?

[lapis tide]

Isnt it like port of entry vida

Visa

[storm stream]

ya

[barren sinew]

No idea

[lapis tide]

So you can answer no sponsor

[worldly ridge]

who is this

💀

[storm stream]

LMAO

[timid tartan]

As harsh as it may sound, he spoke the truth lmfao

[fallen mason]

are there any us companies that currently sponsor canadians

for internship

[oblique quiver]

Ye

[fallen mason]

which ones?

[oblique quiver]

Uncertain exactly which, but seems like a good chunk of companies on the pittcsc list

[fallen mason]

thanks

[oblique quiver]

Ive skipped maybe 5-7 apps and only got one sponsorship rej

But ig some companies dont give the courtesy of telling you that

[real island]

I think tiktok does since I got the OA

[strange trail]

Yeah I’m hoping that since they sent me the OA they sponsor but I’ve heard in the past that people will get offers and then not sponsorship

[real island]

I’ve seen people on LinkedIn from my school work at tiktok in the states so I would assume they sponsor

If they give offers then say can’t sponsor that would suck

[quartz ridge]

No interviews Ahha

[quartz ridge]

Doomed

In this market grad without internship is a death sentence

https://tenor.com/view/taylor-hill-gif-22010192

[quartz ridge]

No one is getting it

It’s fake

[teal remnant]

U mean the posting ?

Or they just ghosting

[quartz ridge]

I just never got a reply

I been applying each szn
