[reef niche]

what is nice about coop internships from waterloo?

[storm stream]

what's nice is that your resume becomes so cracked that you're every company's first choice

[reef niche]

i'm from waterloo i dont get much interviews lol

waterloo masters cs

[normal jetty]

Are u in the coop program

[storm stream]

well what are you applying to there's hardly anything posted

post your resume and get roasted that will help

[quartz ridge]

waterloo people always become cracked after their 3rd coop

most people pop off from waterloo from coops 4-6

1-3 are usually shitters (on average)

like u see people getting huawei or cisco or arctic wolf

then 4-6, they get like splunk, meta, amazon, snowflake, etc.

general trend

[reef niche]

yes

[reef niche]

where do i post lol

[quartz ridge]

thats an abnormal fker

@mystic gull wish -> all the best coop pipeline is very real lol

[storm stream]

#1019675142248468601 and tag me if you want

[quartz ridge]

wish -> amazon/meta/splunk/quant

[storm stream]

is Splunk that high tier?

of course they ghosting me

[quartz ridge]

its pretty fricken high

[storm stream]

[quartz ridge]

the sht i see every loo person getting

is like Faire, Arctic Wolf, Geotab

lmfao

i see that sht everywhere

[storm stream]

That's sick

[quartz ridge]

faire is actually good tho

the rest idk

[storm stream]

Kids in Calgary get oil and gas tech support roles 💀

[paper ether]

[quartz ridge]

[zinc knot]

Faire is great

[normal jetty]

[quartz ridge]

autodesk/sap/cisco/capital one

[paper ether]

coop from first year

[quartz ridge]

yeah id say so

[zinc knot]

Its not just loo btw

Most kids

[quartz ridge]

ive seen lotta ibm -> amazon -> googs

[paper ether]

how do i go from kinaxis to goated

[zinc knot]

If they can do 2 internships

Its 1 shitter and 1 cracked

atleast at my u

[quartz ridge]

most people start popping off after like 2-3 internships

its hard to get a faang tier one

until u get some exp under ur belt

[normal jetty]

Next coop I’m gonna pop off 💯

[zinc knot]

Yuh

one shitter -> faang is very much doable

[normal jetty]

I feel like if u do 4+ coops at any school u will eventually get good stuff tho

[quartz ridge]

shitter -> amazon****

yeah

if u get to 4 coops

[paper ether]

idk about goog or meta

[quartz ridge]

ur bound to get a faang tier one

but most ppl grad before that happesn

[reef niche]

tagged

[quartz ridge]

so most people end up with like

sap

or something lol

[paper ether]

ik someone that has 5 and never did faang

is working with me for 18 an hour

:)

[zinc knot]

but 4 interns + grad can land really good ng

[quartz ridge]

if u do 5 and ur still at kinaxis idk man

[pseudo storm]

That's what i did lol

[quartz ridge]

ur prob jerking it

[paper ether]

not even kinaxis

i have kinaxis next sem

[zinc knot]

Which faang

[normal jetty]

U need to keep upgrading companies

[paper ether]

some even more shitter

[zinc knot]

Was it zon

[normal jetty]

For that to work

[reef niche]

what about students that are not in coop? how are their job situations?

[storm stream]

kk I'll take a look after my retail shift

[normal jetty]

U can do 5 coops at a shitty place and it doesn’t help

[zinc knot]

Dont need to be in a coop

Just grind

banks are shit you cant change my mind

[paper ether]

harder fs

[quartz ridge]

this guy had like 8 shtter companies, and then on his like 12th internship he got Citadel:
https://www.linkedin.com/in/ajlwong/

[zinc knot]

i’ve seen other local companies pay more than faang

[quartz ridge]

to be fair he got ramp

but like

[paper ether]

12th internship

what

[quartz ridge]

if u stack like 12 internships

ur gonna get something good lol

he legit has like 12

lol

[normal jetty]

Nah I see Shopify as the 4th one

[pseudo storm]

Msft

[normal jetty]

So it proves the theory correct

[paper ether]

idk shopify square cashapp

[storm stream]

holy shit

[paper ether]

is all goated

[reef niche]

why dont need to be in coop and just grind?

[storm stream]

that's so goated I can' even comprehend

[normal jetty]

I think YouTube channel -> goated pipeline is real

[quartz ridge]

lmaoo ok i guess he got shopify early

but ive seen some

where its legit

[paper ether]

ben awad type beat, or nicholas lee

[quartz ridge]

like all shitters

[paper ether]

or whatever it is

[quartz ridge]

then he gets one fat one

and it just snowballs from there

i guess he got Shopify then Cashapp

snowball

[normal jetty]

Yeah

Apparently Shopify is dead now tho rip

Wealthsimple is the new Shopify

[earnest mortar]

"shtter companies", mf worked for instagram,square,shopify lol

[quartz ridge]

[normal jetty]

[normal jetty]

I feel like u worked at sap

[quartz ridge]

[normal jetty]

Waterloo location ?

[quartz ridge]

[normal jetty]

Sap only takes ppl close to their locations

So like sap Vancouver only takes ubc ppl

[quartz ridge]

[pseudo storm]

@zinc knot are you ng or intern seeking?

[quartz ridge]

pan's journey is pretty goated

[pseudo storm]

After all these job rejects I don't think I can ever get heartbroken

[quartz ridge]

going from Genentech -> Cisco -> Coinbase -> Meta

[zinc knot]

His first intern was p good

Genetech isn’t bad

[normal jetty]

Yeah and a former actor too

[zinc knot]

That’s real as hell

[quartz ridge]

the big jump was landing Coinbase

[normal jetty]

He was famous in china

[earnest mortar]

ngl if you're 6 5 ur making places in life xDD

[zinc knot]

He lucked out on coinbase offer too (peak crypto timing)

[normal jetty]

Cisco San Jose

[quartz ridge]

[zinc knot]

[zinc knot]

I got it from the puma store

Lol

[normal jetty]

Damn I exposed myself as a Costco buyer

Couldn’t afford the puma store price

It s a really nice hoodie probs my favorite

[quartz ridge]

would u guys take an internship if its lower quality than ur current one + pays less

like lets say ur at SAP and u get an offer from like BMO or smth

do u take that

[analog current]

No

[earnest mortar]

i dont work for banks but yea if that's ur only choice, the diversity of experiences really benefits the intern i think

[quartz ridge]

hmm ok

[normal jetty]

Ppl have done that before

[quartz ridge]

guess it doesnt look great

but its still exp?

hard to say for me

[normal jetty]

Are both the same role like software developer

[quartz ridge]

yeah

i actually dont even have an internship for summer

but hypotehtically

[normal jetty]

Is it ur only offer

[quartz ridge]

if worse comes to worst

j based on the curretn trajectory

of 0 interviews

preparing myself

for the winter

[normal jetty]

Chill at a bank and Use that time to grind lc

And pop off for the next one

But like always try to get the best stuff u can ig

[zinc knot]

How much sap pays

[zinc knot]

Summer just started brother

Don’t worry

[storm stream]

Drove by SAP campus near Frankfurt last month... very german/bland looking

But people there treat it like it's Google LMAO

[storm stream]

Canada scammed us... should have migrated to Australia

[quartz ridge]

For real. SAP Vancouver is like a Scotiabank

[frozen brook]

[quartz ridge]

For SAP?

I think it’s standard

Like everyone gets same

For Van

[quartz ridge]

Ah I see

[storm stream]

[quartz ridge]

[dawn tusk]

Is there a new grad postings list for canada?

[storm stream]

It would be empty

[timid tartan]

^^^

Need at least one job in order to have a list lol

[midnight sequoia]

anyone got Splunk phone?

[timid tartan]

For new grad?

[midnight sequoia]

yes

[twin harness]

Is this the frontend position?

[oblique quiver]

lol wtf, here they pay coop avg+1

so you'd only get that for 5th/6th coop

[simple python]

how do u guys get so cracked 😔

how can u even get 5-6 coops anyway isnt that 2 years of only doing internships?

[midnight sequoia]

yes

[frozen brook]

i took a gap year (8 months) and then I did one part time during school (4 months), then I have 2 actual ones (4 months) going into 3rd year

so ill have ye, 2 years of internships xD

[outer wharf]

Any list of Canadian companies that recruit international new grads?

[soft hamlet]

I got 26 on my first internship, isn't that like 3rd work term for loo

And then 28.80 Nokia second year and 32.80 or smt for third year

[soft hamlet]

My school offers up to 5 co-op terms, 4 of which are required for co-op designation

And then first year summer is open, not required to do anything

I did an internship

I'm non target tho, loo makes you do a co-op term every two terms

[wheat comet]

my friends that r doing their first internships this fall r getting 30+

[smoky flare]

Where

[wheat comet]

rbc, ontario power generation, tucows

wait not rbc

bmo

one is from ryerson, other 2 r from mcmaster

https://tenor.com/view/the-more-you-know-gif-5100490

[oblique quiver]

Yeah

[quartz ridge]

dude rbc, opg and tucows do not pay 30+

rbc is like max 28, opg is prob similar

idk wtf a tucows is but it sounds like a farm reanch

ranch

[lapis tide]

pre sure tucows pays 30

its a domain registrar

[quartz ridge]

ur at rbc lmfao

relax

oh, bmo my bad

so spooky

[kind jasper]

there was a time when they were far more of a household name than now (internet-wise)

[simple python]

damn never knew having 5 coops is borderline normal for loos thats nuts

[wheat comet]

it was bmo, and also, they are all getting 30+

[quartz ridge]

u need 6 coops to graduate from loo, lots get 8+ or even 10

[quartz ridge]

high

[lunar sandal]

wish more unis did this

[quartz ridge]

fr why is it not every uni lol

[earnest mortar]

pretty sure opg pays above 30

[quartz ridge]

pretty surrpsing tbh

most places pay like 20-25

imo

[lusty roost]

they do my friend works there and makes 32

[timid tartan]

For internship? I got 40/hr at RBC

[timid tartan]

There will be semesters where you take full course load + full time internship at the same time, but it's definitely possible

[quartz ridge]

thats acc rlly good

[quartz ridge]

borealis tho right

[timid tartan]

Yeah but it doesn't matter lol my recruiter was an RBC recruiter

Also 40/hr was after negotiation

The default pay was 27.5/hr

[quartz ridge]

it does matter

diff positions have diff upper limit for pay band

[simple python]

wtf full course load + 9 to 5 internship? i see why u guys are cracked out of ur minds LMAO

[timid tartan]

Hmm really? My recruiter told me the upper limit is the same for all undergrads

But yea idk that might be wrong I guess

[quartz ridge]

i think some companies do by year

others based on position

like test developer may be 30 /hr

[timid tartan]

Yeah I've done that

[quartz ridge]

swe can be like 35

rly depends

[timid tartan]

100% possible but you gotta sacrifice a lot of other aspects of ur life. -70 hrs / week of work/school for the entire semester. It's actually not that bad if you think about it

[simple python]

sanity intact still?

[quartz ridge]

ik some companies do based on year, others based on COL + job title / or even past exp

rlly weird lol

but yeah

regardless 40/hr rbc is pre insane

[timid tartan]

Lmao oh well idk then xD

[timid tartan]

Yeah still sane lol

Just completely 0 social life and it was essential for me to do some work/study during lunch and dinner

Basically squeezing out as much work/study as possible regardless of what you do at that time

[lunar sandal]

u have to sacrifice everything else lol

unless ur at a school where u cna coast

even i took part time for my contract this fall cuz i wont b able to handle full time job + full course load

[timid tartan]

Yeah well pretty much everything else true lol

In my case it was 0 social life and barely any fitness/exercises honestly

Cut my sleep down to ~6 hrs / day too

[lunar sandal]

thats not sustainable at all

was this fall or winter sem

[timid tartan]

Winter

[lunar sandal]

oh god

[timid tartan]

Lmfao

[lunar sandal]

yeah not worth it

unless fang

[timid tartan]

Yeah idk I just did it to see how much stress and pressure I can handle

[timid tartan]

Oh wait nvm, I've just remembered I had a TA job as well at that time

[analog current]

Done that

Pretty doable

And maintained a good social life

[fallen mason]

does microsoft hire sophomores, or would it increase my chances if i changed my grad date to 2025?

[timid tartan]

Yea but I had a TA job on top of it lol

Also job hunting + interviews as well lmfao

[quartz ridge]

wait are u the guy who had coinbase and AWS and still coulnd't land interviews cuz of market

[timid tartan]

Yeah

But I mean that's not really surprising I guess

[dark lintel]

@timid tartan Are you only looking for Canada roles or US as well?

Also is it for new grad or internship?

[timid tartan]

Canada bcs I know there's almost no chance I can go to the US due to H1B visa thing

[timid tartan]

New grad

[dark lintel]

oh dam we are in the exact situation lol

[timid tartan]

Oh boy

[dark lintel]

I'm coping real hard. We can't land anything becuase all the good positions have not opened yet

[timid tartan]

Yeah I don't even know if I can avoid homelessness at this rate

[timid tartan]

I mean

Are there even any good positions in Canada? LOL

[dark lintel]

I mean

There was stripe

[timid tartan]

Ok well yeah

[dark lintel]

There could be google amazon that opens soon

[timid tartan]

But my resume can't pass the resume screen for those companies lol

[timid tartan]

Nah Amazon won't

Google idk

[dark lintel]

lowkey I feel like those top companies get too many resumes and recruiter don't even have time to look into them all

[timid tartan]

Exactly so they will just look at the company names lmao

[quartz ridge]

u ahve AWS and coinbase

those are massive

[timid tartan]

Yeah but I probably need more in this market man

[dark lintel]

lol maybe not even that :"D

[timid tartan]

2 seems to be too weak ngl

[quartz ridge]

bro what

u cant say that

then all of us are doomed lmfao

[timid tartan]

Oh yea the first 100 resumes or so lol

[quartz ridge]

most ppl dont even have 1 faang

...

[timid tartan]

Gotta apply within minutes a job is posted fml

[dark lintel]

yeah I don't think this job market is going to take most new grads

Junior level really sucks big rn

[timid tartan]

Yea but like I have a friend with 2 faang+ + IBM + 2 other internships and another friend with 2 faang+ + 2 unicorns + 2 other internships who are struggling to get interviews lmfao

We don't know what to do anymore lmfao

[dark lintel]

be patient I guess

[timid tartan]

Yeah

[dark lintel]

Really there aren't many companies opening rn

[timid tartan]

Well tbh I've heard even seniors don't have an easy time either

So...

[dark lintel]

They sure have a easier time than junior lol

[quartz ridge]

welper

i want coinbase

❤️

how hard were the interviews?

[smoky flare]

did anyone hear back from stripe?

[timid tartan]

I don't think the interviews were hard lol the hardest part was most likely passing the resume screen.

For my batch, there were ~25k applicants and only 26 got the offer 🙂
(Yes, 25k, not a typo)

[dark lintel]

holy

[quartz ridge]

30 for rbc and 25 selected

[tranquil goblet]

Anyone interview for Safari AI before?

[vivid fiber]

This summer has barely started

[vivid fiber]

Canada recruiting always starts a later than the states

We have a tenth of the population and much less tech companies

[timid tartan]

When do you think it will start?

I thought this is all we will have honestly lmao

[vivid fiber]

I'll check my crystal ball and lyl

[timid tartan]

I was so ready to apply for retail jobs

[timid tartan]

[vivid fiber]

Check the pinned repo from last year

It has 200~300 jobs

[timid tartan]

[vivid fiber]

Also that repo was maintained by me and I wasn't even looking for internships

So there was def more that I missed

[timid tartan]

Oh wait

I meant new grad lmao

[vivid fiber]

Oh new grad is screwed

[lunar sandal]

No way ur Jenny dren?? 🤯

[timid tartan]

[vivid fiber]

Intern is much better

Not that it's easy

[lunar sandal]

IM CHILLIN

[timid tartan]

Intern looks much better honestly

[vivid fiber]

But it's better than new grad

[timid tartan]

I can't pass resume screens with 2 faang+ and 1 unicorn on resume lmao the market is unbelievable

[vivid fiber]

Yea dats insane

I think the market may be recovering

[timid tartan]

Yea it looks like that for experienced candidates honestly

[vivid fiber]

Whoever gets that instacart role in Canada is gonna b v happy tho lol

[timid tartan]

I've seen quite a lot of postings

[vivid fiber]

I tink for ng too

[timid tartan]

But they are for like 3+ YOE people

[timid tartan]

Hmm

We'll see xD

[vivid fiber]

Stripe, Instacart, and Doordash ng

[timid tartan]

Doordash??????

[vivid fiber]

None hired Canadians last ye

[timid tartan]

Wait what

[vivid fiber]

Wait not Doordadg

[spare sage]

[worldly ridge]

we can only hope september has more postings now

but companies should open up in sept, historicaly speakign...

[spare sage]

ok nice, i could get a referral at Fortinet but im thinking of holding out a bit to see if theres anything better. Anyone here worked or interned at Fortinet before? If so how was it?

[storm stream]

You will be after our marriage

[earnest mortar]

[earnest mortar]

[lunar sandal]

No huggingface is

[timid tartan]

Bruh I got ghosted for the new grad

Not even OA

😭

[earnest mortar]

[timid tartan]

Oh

[earnest mortar]

[timid tartan]

Bcs they're both cracked

[earnest mortar]

true

[storm stream]

LMAAOOOOOO were doomed. I'm going to sanitation company career fair wanna join?

[timid tartan]

But I already got an offer at Google as the first Distinguished Sanitization Engineer

I don't need that anymore

[storm stream]

[storm stream]

You probably make more than my position at Google

[alpine shadow]

Genuine question y'all, just receiveda 125k full time offer for when I graduate (april 2024). Should I accept and relax and just focus on school, or continue grinding leetcode and applying?

Scared of a renege

[zinc knot]

Where’s it at

[alpine shadow]

don't want to dox myself in the channel

[zinc knot]

if its

[alpine shadow]

I'll dm you

[zinc knot]

F500, accept and still work on your skills

If you find a better offer (v hard in this market)

Can jump if you want

[wary tundra]

bruh ... just accept and relax, the market is awful right now consider yourself blessed.

few companies are going to pay more than 125k> NG in Can

[cursive acorn]

Where are you guys finding job listings for Canada?

[timid tartan]

Lmao meanwhile I just want a job with 40k TC

[kind nimbus]

Is there a list of top tech companies in Canada which take summer interns

[strange trail]

Nothing that is too current

https://github.com/jenndryden/Canadian-Tech-Internships-Summer-2024

[worldly ridge]

i would continue appying inc ase of a rescind

but congrats

thats a lot!

[kind nimbus]

I got a question - Microsoft has swe internships by area - can. I as a Canadian apply to both the San Fran are and Vancouver

[real island]

Yeah they sponsor

[timid tartan]

Honestly I'll take min wage too lmao

30k is more than enough for my lifestyle

What?

How? LMAO

You're absolutely insane if you think one can't live with 30k

You just have to cut all your entertainment and stuff. Don't go out, stay at home, don't buy anything unless extremely necessary. Have a very strict budget for everything and avoid spending money for anything beyond primary needs

💀

Nah bruh it's not like that too lmao

[weak gazelle]

I think researchers make stipends that are usually lesser than 30k

[hybrid fog]

unless u want to go to food banks and want a bunch of roommates

[timid tartan]

Yeah roommates for sure

[hybrid fog]

why the fuck are we talking about making 30k a year lol we're cs majors

[timid tartan]

But the market has gotten that bad lmao

I can't even get anything bruh

[hybrid fog]

pessimistic as fuck

[timid tartan]

^^^^^

Exactly

[weak gazelle]

bro

Fr but it’s just speculation

abt how living on 30k is possible

[hybrid fog]

Yeah it’s possible

Quality of life won’t be good but possible

Same

[timid tartan]

Surely is

I mean my lifestyle has been like that for the past 4 years

[weak gazelle]

Isn’t that how most ppl’s lifestyles are when they’re a student

rent and food

other than tuition ofc

[hybrid fog]

If they don’t live w parents ig

But even then they could get financial support from parents

But yeah

[quartz ridge]

ok rbc shhh

[real island]

Did C1 Toronto have summer internships last year?

[timid tartan]

Idk students these days seem to waste money on bars, nightclubs, etc. Or maybe even buying some expensive tech / other goods

Even just hanging out with ur friends would cost quite a lot if you add it up over time

[zinc knot]

what are you grinding for if not to sustain your hobbies

I mean i love doing this work, but all that money needs to make you happy too

[lunar sandal]

Most stereotypical cs student too

[lunar sandal]

Are u genuinely happy with life bro

I’ve seen u flex ur credentials so much here sounds like u have some validation issue within urself… and ur not even graduated yet

Just relax..

[timid tartan]

Well I've got no options lol

[timid tartan]

Flex? .-.

[lunar sandal]

Ye u do the market is just sss for everyone, plus ur not on the streets as a 23 grad like some people here

[lunar sandal]

Yk exactly what I’m talking about

[timid tartan]

If anything I am not even proud of my credentials

[lunar sandal]

Yeah that’s the problem

go fix ur self

[timid tartan]

Uh what

I mean why should I be proud of it tho

[lunar sandal]

I don’t think I need to say anything else

ima just wait for the next time u do it

[timid tartan]

Not sure why did you start attacking me but ok I guess

[lunar sandal]

it’s not an attack

ur just not used to this feedback

u got work exp ppl here would do a LOT for

bitching is fine, but ur like MEGA doomer mode

and ur going into 4th year

[timid tartan]

Tbh idk, maybe I'm biased bcs I've seen way too many insane resumes

[lunar sandal]

it’s annoying for me as a junior I can’t imagine what the new grads here struggling think

See u got me validating u rn

lmfao

School is in 9 days

[timid tartan]

I don't need that validation lmao as I said, maybe I'm just biased

[lunar sandal]

U say u don’t yet ur msgs paint different picture

anyways

[timid tartan]

Maybe we just have different perspectives

[lunar sandal]

Me nulname and you, apparently

[timid tartan]

Ye

Oh yeah I've mentioned this bcs I've seen how my friends with similar resumes have been struggling very badly

And we're all confused

[calm elm]

Keep ur heads up guys. I’m a new grad and quite a few of my friends did not have jobs coming out of grad in April. Now all but 1 are working ft (not saying markets getting better but people are indeed hiring)

[timid tartan]

[real island]

💀

[timid tartan]

[zinc knot]

canadian apps such an easy process no answering 20 different annoying ass questions and what your race is

[sour locust]

Give job fast

[quartz ridge]

i mean to be fair. you have 2 faangs and a unicorn and some people have zero expereince or just 1 internship. it doesnt make people feel good when you're dooming with that exp

[quartz ridge]

wtf i searched GS canada and it took me to leetcode

https://leetcode.com/problems/longest-increasing-subsequence/

[broken whale]

Should prolly do it

[flint sequoia]

A lot of dead repos

[lunar sandal]

i think aimlessly contributing aitn gonna help

but are u ng?

[flint sequoia]

Do companies care if your contributions are actually used

[flint sequoia]

2023 ya

[quartz ridge]

what does goldman sachs pay in canada

[broken whale]

Do lc instead @flint sequoia

[lunar sandal]

thats not the kicker to open source, the kicker is u can get jobs at remote companies if ur good enough and contribute non trivial shit to their repo

[quartz ridge]

https://www.levels.fyi/internships/Goldman-Sachs/Software-Engineer-Intern/

70/hr?

[broken whale]

[lunar sandal]

[broken whale]

Based

[lunar sandal]

felt this so hard

[quartz ridge]

oh thats new york lmfao

[broken whale]

Are 180 qs enough for companies in Canada?

Lmao

Don’t know shit about system design

[lunar sandal]

qs are a bad metric

learn the concepts

[broken whale]

Ye ye

Did blind 75

And the rest after that

[quartz ridge]

its better to learn 50 questions thouroughly than do 300 half ass following a youtube tut

[broken whale]

Idk if it’s enough tho

[lunar sandal]

its better to jsut

[broken whale]

Specially in this market

[lunar sandal]

learn the topic

so that the question count doesnt matter

[flint sequoia]

https://tenor.com/view/happy-happy-dog-dog-happiest-dog-super-happy-gif-17885812

Me when I learn the concept

[lunar sandal]

[quartz ridge]

https://tenor.com/view/what-the-whos-that-angry-mad-whats-happening-gif-17200184

[lunar sandal]

guys imagine

imagine

[broken whale]

Is there a concept guide somewhere?

[quartz ridge]

dp?

[flint sequoia]

https://tenor.com/view/sad-depressed-dog-gif-25732965

Me when I have to use the concept in a non straightforward way

[lunar sandal]

there's 14-15 yr olds in the US rn

doing USACO and IOI

that have understood what ur having trouble with

[broken whale]

I just do qs thru neetcode’s website lol

[lunar sandal]

so early

[oblique crater]

yeah those competitions aren’t new

[flint sequoia]

I’ll send a link to a site I used

[broken whale]

Thanks

[lunar sandal]

[broken whale]

Double penetration? XD

Jkjk

[quartz ridge]

[broken whale]

Na fam lmao

[flint sequoia]

https://runestone.academy/ns/books/published/pythonds/index.html

[broken whale]

Bruh is this for CP or some shit?

[quartz ridge]

is DP the hardest topic

or is it bit manipulation

lol

[broken whale]

Arguably yeah

Bit man is ass too

[tight gale]

greedy is harder imo if you havent seen before

[quartz ridge]

iev eneever been asked bit manipulation

but ive been asked DP

[broken whale]

Prolly won’t unless you going for hedge funds

Canada easy

It’s juts getting the interview

That’s tuff

[quartz ridge]

yeah u can have teh brain of squidward

[broken whale]

Coming from someone who got rejected from SAP

[quartz ridge]

and still pass interviews

[quartz ridge]

dont they just ask Two Sum

or smth

[broken whale]

It was my first ever interview lmao

[quartz ridge]

lmaoo u must be ubc or sfu

no?

[broken whale]

They didn’t ask me two sum

[broken whale]

UBC xD

[quartz ridge]

what year

r u

[broken whale]

5th

[quartz ridge]

HUH

[broken whale]

Did coop

16 months

[quartz ridge]

damn where

sap round 2?

[broken whale]

Nah

SAP sux

[quartz ridge]

u went somewhere better?

[broken whale]

They throw u into a pool and you don’t know where u’ll be placed

[flint sequoia]

What’s your process when answering LC questions

[broken whale]

U might get assigned to QA or some shit

[broken whale]

Not really lol but the tech stack was a lot better and the pay was higher than SAP lool

It’s aight tho

We move lmao

[broken whale]

Stare at the question for like 5-10 mins

Then draw it out on a paper

Then look at discussions

LC sux

[tight gale]

try to relate to prev questions ive done to see what pattern it is

[broken whale]

What guide did u use for learning concepts?

[flint sequoia]

The drawing part pisses me off because I never know what to draw exactly

Neetcode makes shit look so straight forward

[broken whale]

I can tell u some concepts

Dm

They are not conecpts

More like tricks

[flint sequoia]

Messaged

[tight gale]

tbh ive just done enough that i just notice the patterns, when i started i just used NC/sean prasad+looked at lc solution+lc discussion then did similar questions to reinforce those ideas

[flint sequoia]

So u did a lot of the same type of questions until it stuck then moved on to a diff type?

[tight gale]

yea, moving on after looking at solutions thinking you understand it usually doesnt help as much

[flint sequoia]

How many were u doing a day

[zinc knot]

just draw bro

[quartz ridge]

isnt SAP one of the highest in vancouver

[broken whale]

Neh

Zon

[quartz ridge]

[broken whale]

Oh shit lol

Maybe yeah idk

[flint sequoia]

I don’t got that Picasso in me

[quartz ridge]

theres like nothing better than SAP

apart from Amazon

[broken whale]

I worked for a company in ON

[quartz ridge]

[broken whale]

Bruh konrad asks System design

Hootsuite is good too

MS

[hot rapids]

[broken whale]

Ive heard the WLB is good

Idk

[quartz ridge]

[broken whale]

Kinda like SAP that hires mostly from UBC/SFU

[quartz ridge]

[broken whale]

Intuit beast

[quartz ridge]

[broken whale]

Never hear back from em
