[night snow]

Has anyone ever gotten a reply from Canada job bank?

[cunning lake]

Hi everyone, any recommendations for Canada 2024 NG Github repos?

[night snow]

thanks

[storm stream]

it would be empty because there's nothing

[kind jasper]

In the past I've known people who've gotten jobs from it. It's not just for foreign workers (and some of the positions they got were things like the Ministry of Defense and even specifically excluded foreign workers on security grounds).

[storm stream]

I use linkedin to check

[soft hamlet]

What

LOL

Which office

My friend got a job w 0 exp

My friend got loo office

[vocal lagoon]

[drifting shore]

[real island]

Yeah

Which location is that for?

[drifting shore]

Vancouver

[real island]

Find random referral codes online

[cunning lake]

Man that’s real bad

[hallow urchin]

but i cant use it anymore

[real island]

Lmao same thing happened to me

😔

[simple python]

cant you create another account and just apply 2 more or sum?

[drifting shore]

I waited for a referral code before applying to the new posting

[storm stream]

I'm making a new email and phone to apply

[real island]

Does tiktok merge accounts?

If not then 👀

[hallow urchin]

I tried but it didnt work for me I think

[storm stream]

What the heck

[hallow urchin]

Like even when I had both accounts opened on different browsers

It kinda

Detected otm

[storm stream]

I've done it last year lemme try

[hallow urchin]

It?

Yes lmk!!!

[reef niche]

not sure if it is technical issue...

[simple python]

i think they do merge but i used a diff browser and a diff phone number and it works for me ( diff browser, diff phone, diff email)

[zinc knot]

same on my end, didn't get an OA email yet either

[drifting shore]

^

[drifting shore]

U didn’t get referred?

[zinc knot]

nope

[drifting shore]

Might be full auto then

[zinc knot]

yep

[drifting shore]

[zinc knot]

haven't gotten OA yet

[drifting shore]

hackerrank sends them out in batches

[smoky flare]

I applied to TikTok and now it says I don't have an account associated with the email I applied with

What did they do to my account

[zinc knot]

deleted

[oblique crater]

After carefully reviewing your application, we have determined that your social credit score is not high enough to move forward in the process, you can try applying to our job postings once you have 12-24 hours of weekly screetime on our products!

[real island]

They don’t send OA instantly

Anyone get Microsoft final interview for SWE Intern?

[zinc knot]

do they send OA after resume review?

[real island]

Yeah

That means you passed the resume screen they just send the OA in batches

[zinc knot]

valid

keeping my fingers crossed then

[real island]

Glgl

[zinc knot]

thanks!

did you take the OA already?

[hallow urchin]

Damn ur on the final already?
I was thinking about reaching out to a recruiter to boost my chances

lol

[real island]

Nah I’m not I wish

I was just wondering if they reached out to Canadians yet

[hallow urchin]

does anybody know about Amazon robotics coop cuz I tried getting referred for that but my referee can't even find that job in their internal portal

[hallow urchin]

Ohh r u American?

I applied to the American postings too but idk if the take Canadian ppl or if they have higher bar for them

[eager haven]

[real island]

Nah I’m Canadian

[real island]

Not yet wbu?

[hallow urchin]

sigh

[eager haven]

wonder when they’ll start sending out oas or interviews

[hallow urchin]

do u have a referral or recruiter email
Or just regular applied

[eager haven]

[hallow urchin]

Ah okay

[eager haven]

wbu

[hallow urchin]

I wish interns could refer there but sadly it's just

Full timers that can

And idk many full timers

[eager haven]

yeah I knew some guy from before that came in clutch

[hallow urchin]

Besides random LinkedIn ppl I'm cold msging

[eager haven]

[analog current]

[topaz linden]

Anyone move on from oa for stripe new grad?

[lucid berry]

what startup?

[hot rapids]

Amazon

[strange trail]

I finished my first leetcode question 😎

I’m currently working through neetcode 150, is it generally a good idea to try implementing the brute force, spend around 20-30 minutes with that and thinking about the correct efficient method and then moving onto the video solution?

[storm stream]

since you're gonna be doing it by categories don't think brute force, think in terms of the pattern you're practicing

20-30 mins then look at solution

[strange trail]

Ok sounds good that’s what I was thinking

[analog current]

now do 100 more

GO GO GO GO

[strange trail]

😭

That’s the plan

Is 3 per day sustainable

[untold geode]

Bruh I went to the jim yesterday and for the first time I had a workout where I actually wanted to shut the voices in my head

[vernal sigil]

is it auto oa?

[untold geode]

I dont think so

[vernal sigil]

oh true it says in the job description

[frozen brook]

my friend said they are having issues, but your friend can reach out to the recruiter and they will let them add a ticket to the internal queue

[naive island]

Has anyone here interviewed at Sitecore for the Business Support Engineer role?

[drifting shore]

Do more if u can

[drifting shore]

Could be a very light screen

[hallow urchin]

That works? Let me tell my referee that. Do you know the recruiters name?

[frozen brook]

nah soz, my friend found that out by looking at the internal job listing

[wary tundra]

anyone else receive riot reject today?

is it just auto reject if cad?

[alpine wadi]

They take a couple Canadians every year so not auto reject but from what I’ve seen all their Canadians interns are from Waterloo😭

[frozen brook]

yeaa, most of them are through waterlooworks

but i havent been rejected yet, so maybe there is hope o.o

[worn moss]

riot games isnt on ww

hasnt been for the last two terms atleast

[frozen brook]

ah, the people I knew have worked there for 3 coops now i think so rip

[wary tundra]

what's the best grad date to put for Summer 2024 internships

Is Dec 2024 ok?

[hot rapids]

Probs May 2025?

I saw ppl say they got rejected from rito summer 2024 with a dec 2024 grad date

[marsh mango]

has amazon canada opened for 2024 summer?

[vernal sigil]

No

[real island]

😔

[quartz ridge]

did anyone hear back from Riot Games

?

[lunar sandal]

Anyone heard back from Brennan Delsing ?

[storm stream]

LMAO such a waste of time

[quartz ridge]

intact 16 month internship

free guaranteed employment for a year

thats pretty good lol

[lunar sandal]

How is this either free or guaranteed ?

[quartz ridge]

if u alnd it

u get a ft job

for a 1.25 years

[lunar sandal]

ye but the issue is landing it

[quartz ridge]

yea but

if u do

its big no?

[lunar sandal]

yeah

[quartz ridge]

i think its like 25

which is decent imo

how is that same value as 4 month?

its like 1.25 years

cant you just break it up

into 4 sections

like

january - april Intact

may to august Intact

etc.

i wouldnt clump it into a single thing

just divide ur internship sections / 4

and add bullets like that

[jolly orbit]

u of t students 😔

isn't PEY 16 months

[quartz ridge]

yea

12 - 16 mnoths

wait

if u guys have like a 8 month or 12 monht internship

are u actually just doing 1 section

on resume?

isnt taht troll

like if u were there for that long

certainly ur breaking that into 2 sections

[jolly orbit]

mhm not really, consider if you worked two years at a ft position would you split it into two resume sections?

[quartz ridge]

yah so

i think for itnern its worth doing

[jolly orbit]

unless your role drastically shifted, e.g. data scientist -> swe

[quartz ridge]

but once ur FT

i would just keep it one section

its like

like i think it would be worth breaking it up cuz

recruiter sjust look at resume at a glance right

[jolly orbit]

explain your reasoning, why does going past 4 months mean new section

[quartz ridge]

they wont rly know diff betwene 4 month vs 1.25 years

unless its sectioned

bc usually if a recruiter sees a resume w internship

they dont even inspect the date

they asasume its 3/4 monther

why not lol

[jolly orbit]

I can see the value, but I can also see how if I were the recruiter I might be a little confused

[quartz ridge]

the thing is

i mean u can kind of

be like

ok for first X months

i was focusing on this project

and then next X months u were focusing on another

like

if u think about it from someones POV doing like a PEY internship

at U of T

how does he maximize his resume value

for his 16 month internship

no shot im just doing a 3 bullet point thing right

for 1 section?

or even like 5

[jolly orbit]

in my first internship the other interns were all from u of t

[quartz ridge]

it seems like ur underselling

u of t ppl have to

[lunar sandal]

no u don’t

[quartz ridge]

rly?

[lunar sandal]

Actually

I lied

Cs majors do

so ye we do xd

[quartz ridge]

yeah im not doing this long internship

but i think it would be worth splitting

typically thats what u do

but its not like a hard and fast rule

[jolly orbit]

that's true

there are no hard and fast rules

I think overall just 16 months at one company isn't a great idea

[lunar sandal]

y’all nitpicking

[quartz ridge]

like ive seen people do 8 month internships and to better represent the timeline, they have like 2 sections

where its like ok SWE intern working on this product/for 4 months, then working on other product for 4 months

even if its stretching the truth a tiny bit

its easier for recruiter to see ur tenure lenght

[jolly orbit]

ive seen people break it up when there's a split in between, e.g. two terms at the same company separated by a study term

[lunar sandal]

Yk acc UofT kids can declare 1 year pey, and then get 3 offers in that 1 year at 3 diff companies

[jolly orbit]

yes, I'm aware

[quartz ridge]

ye

[lunar sandal]

But in this market that’s probably not realistic

[real island]

Then how would you do background checks if you split it on resume?

[quartz ridge]

like u dont really split it

its kinda like

january - april Company X

may - aguust Company X (diff team)

smth like that

im just thinking like ppl who have Rlly long terms

it maygive them some leverage

on resume

ok maybe not diff team but

say lke focus on product Y

[jolly orbit]

on a 16 month term, it's not impossible for them to rotate teams

[lunar sandal]

bruh just keep it as 1 and don’t split

[jolly orbit]

making subsections is probably not the worst idea

[quartz ridge]

yeah

like think about it like this

ur investing 16 months into a company

and ur getting the resume value of 4 months

is it a bit disingenuous

maybe a tiny bit?

but yeah i just feel bad for ppl doing PEY

16 mo is brutal

8 month is not bad

[jolly orbit]

I think most who do 16 months go back to the same company for ft

[quartz ridge]

but yeah 4 month is optimal for internships

[real island]

But then wouldn’t the recruiter think it’s 2 diff internships you did at the same company therefore 2 roles on background check?

[quartz ridge]

yeah this happens a lot

[quartz ridge]

not really because the dates line up

[quartz ridge]

like you're not explictly saying its 2 diff contracts, youre just splitting by 4 month

[merry crystal]

i'd only do 16 months for FAANG or adjacent

[quartz ridge]

id do 16 months in this market 😭

[real island]

Yeah I see what you mean now

[lunar sandal]

do u have the liberty to be so picky in this market

most of us don’t

I’d take that shit in a heartbeat lol guaranteed ft return offer

[quartz ridge]

is anyone actually landing interviews

i see the process channel is full of like

US people

just getting interview after interview

pretty discouraging lol

[merry crystal]

i'm a 2nd year so idc about a return offer ft

[jolly orbit]

no... I'm like 100 apps in nothing apart from Stripe/Dropbox/tiktok OAs

[lunar sandal]

100 apps for summer already ?

[quartz ridge]

im 100 apps, only got Sentry OA but it was impossible

[lunar sandal]

is this Canada exclusive… link me dem jobs breh

[quartz ridge]

nothing else

[merry crystal]

wouldn't be picky if its only 4 months but i personally wouldn't wanna commit to 16 months just to find 3 employees who call themselves sr engineers

[jolly orbit]

should be? im counting duplicate apps for same company as separate

*different roles same company

[jolly orbit]

oh I did that one no response though

idk some of my friends are getting interviews

[lunar sandal]

Where are u finding these

I swear there’s barely 20 for summer rn

[alpine wadi]

same 90 apps still nothing other than OAs

[jolly orbit]

ive been applying since beginning of august

[quartz ridge]

r u guys tracking ur apps

in a spreadsheet

[jolly orbit]

just like 3-5 per day

[alpine wadi]

yeah google sheets

[quartz ridge]

yeah same

im like 100 + apps in

brutal lol

[alpine wadi]

deadass just one big sheet

keeping links to see if I already to a posting

[lunar sandal]

Wait.. is this Canada wide

Or jus Ontario / BC

[alpine wadi]

[lunar sandal]

[quartz ridge]

yep

[quartz ridge]

thats the only q they ask

[alpine wadi]

currenltly doing 8 months at a govy job but switching teams should I seperate that into two resume sections?

[quartz ridge]

multi step text justification and random caveats

[vernal sigil]

Yea some of the test cases weren’t even in the instructions

Like the \n \t

[quartz ridge]

i just gave up lol

like i read it

and im like

nah man

[quartz ridge]

[alpine wadi]

[lunar sandal]

Nope! Heard back from Brennan Delsing tho so that’s always nice ^^

[alpine wadi]

not yet

[quartz ridge]

might be worth

[quartz ridge]

no one rlly said the split up idea, i kinda just proposed it randomly to fill up work exp lol

[jolly orbit]

how do you know which ones sponsor?

[alpine wadi]

takes 1 min to apply might as well

[jolly orbit]

a lot of companies that sponsored canadians last year aren't doing so this year

[quartz ridge]

workday takes like 3-5 mins

or 5 mins prob

[lunar sandal]

FOAXK workday

Just fuck workday

I have 20 accounts

[quartz ridge]

workday u need 1 new account and like 8 pages of bs for each comapny

[lunar sandal]

[tough knot]

I messed up my rbc OA 💀💀💀

[jolly orbit]

databricks sponsors

[limber dirge]

[limber dirge]

snowflake oa is as hard as always lmao

[quartz ridge]

still dunno how to do bitmask

[limber dirge]

[quartz ridge]

lmfao

[limber dirge]

lmfaoo fr

[real island]

That’s what I don’t get they always reduce the pay here but it ain’t cheap 😭

[alpine wadi]

isnt toronto more expensive to live in than cambridge☠️

[lunar sandal]

what’s the culture like at loo? Are y’all LC grinding since day 1 of first year fall or way

[jolly orbit]

uhm depends on the person

[lunar sandal]

I’m rlly curious cuz UofT feels like the complete opposite. Passive

[limber dirge]

toronto is legit one of the most expensive cities to live in in NA, I get converting smth like 50USD to 50CAD for remote people, but lowering it is a diss 💀

[jolly orbit]

some of my friends have been doing cp since hs

[lunar sandal]

ah

[jolly orbit]

others are more lowkey

I think everyone tries to some extent

[alpine wadi]

bro i go to carleton uni my peers are all content with bare minimum jobs barely anyone leetcodes

[jolly orbit]

I didnt really care too much until ~second/third co-op

[quartz ridge]

people working at google in toronto make 38/hr, google in US is like 70cad/hr

its legit double lol

[limber dirge]

some people ik don't care about jobs / lc grinding and are chilling, and some grind and get some great jobs

[alpine wadi]

google toronto is 38?!

[quartz ridge]

yeah google in canada is 38

[limber dirge]

i personally only started LC like this year seriously kinda wish i cared more before lol

[lunar sandal]

At loo and don’t care abt jobs is like

[novel dome]

only??

[jolly orbit]

that's w/o the stipend though no?

[quartz ridge]

thats withotu stipend

[jolly orbit]

there's like a 4k stipend or smth

[calm elm]

Internship? Or ft

[quartz ridge]

there is like a 4k stipend

so google toronto/waterloo is 38/hour + 4k stipend

[alpine wadi]

same started leetcoding one month ago its tuff😭

[lunar sandal]

also do y’all have a different interview process on WLW?

Or is it the same OA behavioral

[quartz ridge]

not sure why google canada is that low lol

[jolly orbit]

usually fewer rounds

[limber dirge]

toronto/waterloo = slum

[jolly orbit]

like 2-3 rounds max, no phone screens

[lunar sandal]

no OA?

[jolly orbit]

some companies are single round

some give OAs

[lunar sandal]

wTG

WTF

[alpine wadi]

how do phone screens go never had one before

[jolly orbit]

they're pretty chill usually

[limber dirge]

companies on WW started doing OAs lmao

[quartz ridge]

do u guys know square/block?

[lunar sandal]

bro

[quartz ridge]

[lunar sandal]

my kid is going to Waterloo

[jolly orbit]

I thought OAs were always a thing?

[lunar sandal]

gn guys I seen enough

[novel dome]

is there any list of intern salaries beside levels

[quartz ridge]

usually WW skips OA

goes straihgt to interview

what do u guys think is the easiest company to get into that pays well for interns?

[limber dirge]

my friend got it negotiated a lot higher but yeah the base offer is 38

[jolly orbit]

[lunar sandal]

Nah bro if I’m in the same pool as everyone it’s up to luck for me as much as it is for u

our co op portal fucking. Sucks.

[quartz ridge]

i put other basically every single app

[real island]

Wait any of y’all get the hubspot OA yet?

[limber dirge]

okay it got a bit harder now but only because of volume, but the app process is so easy in canada. no OA and one final round of 1-2 easy LC questions

[lapis tide]

i love uoftengcareerportal

[lunar sandal]

Uoft is just

Disappointing af

[lapis tide]

[lunar sandal]

[lunar sandal]

Also yeah what career fair

[limber dirge]

once again, volume is the only issue. each round is easy, the final round questions are all on glassdoor, they never change it and they know candidates look

[jolly orbit]

yes I think so

[lapis tide]

hardly a uoft fair

[jolly orbit]

https://www.yourenext.ca/

[real island]

What do you need on OA to pass?

[limber dirge]

its their own assessment using JSON requests, if you get a 200 response you pass the OA

[lapis tide]

also that career fair is useless

[real island]

Ohhh I see makes sense

[lapis tide]

its lineups of people tryna hand out resumes

[lunar sandal]

^^

I’ve been to career fairs before and al I’ve got is

[lapis tide]

no idea how this guy got it

[real island]

I’ve never seen the Canada chat this active before 💀

[lunar sandal]

in all honesty

[jolly orbit]

if we work harder maybe we can manifest some recruiter interest

[lunar sandal]

Recruiters probably reading this chat and social engineering our LinkedIn’s “ yep these are the mfs we mos def do not want to hire “

[lapis tide]

Recruiter interest resulting in less than 20usd/hr

[alpine wadi]

seeing these waterloo linkedins makes me depressed

[quartz ridge]

[alpine wadi]

technically starting my third year this winter

[tough knot]

Probably has an actual personality and managed to get an interview

What’s on your resume if you don’t mind me asking

[broken whale]

Bro

I applied to Hs with a referral

Nothing yet

Wtf

Time to contact the recruiter from last year lmfao

[zinc knot]

Like real question, how do you get big companies interested in you in the first place

[hot rapids]

I asked the company I am interning at about getting sponsorship for a J-1 at a US location. They told me they only sponsor J-1 for roles that are hard to fill, like graphics or ML. So maybe if you're super specialized, big companies will think you're a must have

[barren sinew]

Niche experience? I worked at a medium sized company in embedded Linux and then worked at a large hardware company I think because of that experience. Then worked generally at a FAANG and now in another large company

I'm no longer doing embedded linux. My experience so far has been: Embedded C++ Linux development -> C++ and DevOps -> Linux and general SWE -> General SWE

[quartz ridge]

what’s ur exp like? Didn’t know Hubspot so hard to get

[soft hamlet]

I haven't even gotten an OA this cycle

[quartz ridge]

mood…

[soft hamlet]

I have one uni internship, one HS internship and two freelance positions but they are all no name

Nerfed because I'm a soph

[vivid fiber]

Recruiting in 2022 helps
