[weak gazelle]

@timid tartan why don't u reach out to one of the 5 cracked companies you've interned at

for a NG offer

[steel escarp]

one of them doesn't hire new grad yet 👀

can confirm 🤣

[smoky flare]

1 medium 1 random ass file io question

[worldly ridge]

as someone who has 6 FAANG and big tech in my resume, your resume is not competitiv enough @steel escarp

I can leetcode faster then you, answer behavioral better then you, and solve system designe better then you

[weak gazelle]

but @timid tartan is from UofT (number 1 CS school in Canada) with 5 cracked internships

[steel escarp]

But I know the CEO

checkmate

[weak gazelle]

surely they can make exception for @timid tartan

[worldly ridge]

I am the CEO

[steel escarp]

maybe 👀 idk you can try

[steel escarp]

Ye ik you from discord. Can I pass the queue and get straight to the offer? 🤣

[worldly ridge]

sorry we are doign a hiring freeze

[steel escarp]

make an exception for a talent like me 😭

[worldly ridge]

only if you have 6 faangs

[steel escarp]

I have amazon prime, netflix subsription, apple mac, facebook account, and 2xgmail

Does it count? 😭

[broken whale]

💀

[worldly ridge]

its joever

[steel escarp]

[worldly ridge]

intuit

[real island]

Intuit prob

[lucid berry]

yes

but idk why lmao

[timid tartan]

Doesn’t mean anything bcs they are not HFTs 🤡

[lapis tide]

[quartz ridge]

Intuit has better products, more resume value

[timid tartan]

The market can only be cracked by multiple HFT ppl

[lapis tide]

clearly hfts are the pinnacle of software engineering

[lunar sandal]

https://leetcode.com/discuss/interview-experience/1678929/tiktok-oa-internship-2022

[quartz ridge]

how big is difference between Cisco and Cisco Meraki

Is it a considerable difference

Or similar company prestige

And reputation / pay

Just curious about the state of these companies

[candid oxide]

cisco meraki paid more than double cisco before, dunno about now bc i think they lowered it

[quartz ridge]

ok thanks

[real island]

Amazon where 😔

[quartz ridge]

have u guys gotten interviews apart frmo Bell ol

[topaz linden]

Big

[azure spire]

u mean the one-way "interview" lol?

[placid dawn]

i wonder how many ppl are faking internships rn to get interviews

[wheat comet]

i ho wants to get food

[wheat comet]

i did that but i got internship at super small company so idk if my fake one played a role or not

[quartz ridge]

background check will eat u

[wheat comet]

background check will not eat you as long as you dont claim u worked somewhere u didnt

if its ur own "company" ur good

ive seen some ppl that basically made a "company" for every big project they did

and landed nice internships

[placid dawn]

na i mean claiming u worked for amz or meta or smthing

[quartz ridge]

did u even read what he said lol. he said "faking internships"

being a founder and interning at a company is completely different

[wheat comet]

i made my own "company" and i put my position as intern there

so

yes i did read what he said !

at one point i didnt put intern and just put swe as my tit;e

title

[wheat comet]

makes sense

[quartz ridge]

thats misleading

you dont intern at a company you founded

[wheat comet]

well we were talking about faking interships

obviously its misleading

[quartz ridge]

better to land a position properly

[wheat comet]

if i could have i would have

[quartz ridge]

side question then

what if u founded a comapny called Google something

or some big name + ___

[wheat comet]

then when u land ur interview ur prolly gonna have a harder time staying on the interviewer's good side

[teal remnant]

So how is the market right now 🥹

[night snow]

try applying and see how it is 😭

[teal remnant]

These oas are tough asf

Skill issue 😔

[tight gale]

[teal remnant]

I am tired of lc I keep getting fked up oas send help

[teal remnant]

Can’t you go back to any of ur intern place as full time ?

[tight gale]

[teal remnant]

Damm

[teal remnant]

Whattt ??

[lunar sandal]

good morning Canada

yall dont even read the job posting huh

[timid tartan]

Tbh if I was targeting internship positions, I would still apply to unpaid internships just in case if I couldn't get anything else. It's still better than having an employment (well, maybe it's enslavement in this case lmao) gap

[lunar sandal]

bro better to just start ur own thing atp

ur insulting yourself taking an unpaid gig.

[timid tartan]

Well yea that's also true ngl

[timid tartan]

Also for those who are actually interested in that position 😂

[wheat comet]

i havent seen any clips, but from the website description, it looks like a motivational talk

[kind jasper]

I was more interested in the networking stuff before and after that, really. (For talks themselves, I wouldn't bother making the drive/commute to TO)

[simple python]

yeah i did it

[flint sequoia]

How was it ? What type was the question

[night snow]

everyone wants cheap labour with senior experience I guess

[timid tartan]

We're here literally trying to beg for a job wtf

[night snow]

This is why we are falling behind other G20 countries

[placid dawn]

[lapis tide]

Non intern positions right

[night snow]

[timid tartan]

Hmm I put mine as December 2023

[timid tartan]

[normal jetty]

They might be looking for 2024 and 2025, so putting 2023 filters you out

[timid tartan]

Yea true, I’m just gonna reapply with a different email

[simple python]

i remember u have like 5 coops do u have more than 2 yoe lol

[night snow]

I had Spring 2023 as my grad date tho

[eternal fossil]

[smoky flare]

Will trade for TikTok OA

[lunar sandal]

Is it possible that companies aren’t considering big name internships during covid times as significant as they should because the hiring bar was lower ?

(It was lower)

[storm stream]

[storm stream]

recruiters don't know that they treat us like H1B

[simple python]

[storm stream]

it's because your resume is way too cracked and they know you won't stay

[wicked bramble]

Ya so the recruiter started off by asking for a code sample. A week later I had two technical interviews. They each had 1 leetcode medium. The guy asked some networking questions as well.

[lunar sandal]

Yes

Amazing how our own portals aren’t open yet but postings are live 😂😂

[prime cedar]

don't think so

[rugged spade]

Literally crying everyday

[soft hamlet]

18/18 rej or ghosted, but 6 recruiting events in the next month at my uni

Maybe I'll get passed to interview again this year

[alpine wadi]

like 70% of companies start hiring for summer in jan be patient

[soft hamlet]

Deloitte, Interac, BMO, Bell, TD coming to me school for a reason tho 😭

[cinder kraken]

Do you go to Carleton?

[alpine wadi]

I do and I can tell you those companies do not come to no career fair here☠️

[soft hamlet]

Yes

[soft hamlet]

No name SUPREMACY

[alpine wadi]

to be fair ottawa still top 3 city for coop in canada

[soft hamlet]

Those 5 are doing singular events each

And then we have a general career fair

[alpine wadi]

ohhhhhhh I didn't even know

our regular career fair were kinda shit

the coop board was decent tho

[soft hamlet]

Yeahhh I got an office tour + workshops + recruiter thing for Deloitte tomorrow

I somehow passed resume screen for that one

[alpine wadi]

for swe??!

[soft hamlet]

Yeah

I'm a shit 2nd year

Idk why they chose me for the event

[alpine wadi]

when did it open😭

[soft hamlet]

Not actual job apps

They are doing an office tour in ottawa

And interviewing if they want you in advance I'm guessing

[soft hamlet]

Tbh ours is too

But the standalone events are nice

We have apple alumni showing up at some point or another as well

They don't do referrals tho

[alpine wadi]

oh i go to carleton too btw

[soft hamlet]

GO TO MYSUCCESS

SIGN UP FOR SHI

They are getting full

You had to apply for the Deloitte event like a month ago

[alpine wadi]

was it this?

[soft hamlet]

It's not related to a job

It's just an event they are running

[alpine wadi]

ohhhhhhhhhhhhhh

[soft hamlet]

Go to mysuccess

Event tab

It's already over for the Deloitte tour but they have Interac, Bell, BMO and TD up for events

Most on campus, BMO online I believe

I signed up for most events a month or so ago

[alpine wadi]

I acc never checked the events tab

[soft hamlet]

Also this term's career fair is in person

So it might be a bit better

Rather than the shit system we had for speed networking

Though it did get me a cisco interview, it was mid

[soft hamlet]

Wtf

There are so many events there

What year are you in btw

[alpine wadi]

theres a nokia one too!?! 👀

[soft hamlet]

O

Nokia is new

I haven't checked since last weekend

[alpine wadi]

oct 3

[soft hamlet]

CARLETON STEPPING UP

We'll be T1 soon

[alpine wadi]

four year of uni but going into my third year of cs

[soft hamlet]

Ahhhh I'm second year

I did an internship during the summer but officially entering co-op this summer

[alpine wadi]

damnnn ytou got a internship without coop as a first year?!

cracked

[soft hamlet]

Twas a startup job

Learned a lot and got a nice paycheck

[lapis tide]

mfs be like "out of the four cities in canada"

[alpine wadi]

wdym

[soft hamlet]

I hope to get $30/hr co-op this cycle

Or close

Nokia pays $29 for second years

[alpine wadi]

same something like nokia would be great

but with this market im hoping for any job at this point

[soft hamlet]

I'm looking more towards solace and cisco rn

But I'd take Nokia asap if they gave me an offer

Can't be picky in this market

[alpine wadi]

i was hella picky last term and ended up barely getting a job😭 dont get fooled

[soft hamlet]

Oh I didn't know much about the market

Applied 8 places

[alpine wadi]

i hate how youre forced to accept your second offer for the coop board cuz what if two small companies give you offer than nokia does

then youre forced to go with the small company

[soft hamlet]

Got 3 interviews (startup, RBC and Cisco)

[rugged spade]

For summer 24?

[soft hamlet]

And startup offer only

[alpine wadi]

DAMN

[soft hamlet]

For summer 23

Last year

[rugged spade]

oooo

[alpine wadi]

what kinda resume you got😩

[soft hamlet]

RBC and Cisco are from events

[rugged spade]

Did u do the startup this summer then

[alpine wadi]

DAMN

[soft hamlet]

Events are way easier to pass resume screen

[soft hamlet]

Yes

[alpine wadi]

i guess i need to start networking

[rugged spade]

i also got Cisco and RBC offer for summer 23 :O

[soft hamlet]

I didn't get offer

I only got interview

[rugged spade]

O

[soft hamlet]

They didn't want a first year

[real island]

What is RBC process?

[rugged spade]

Same thing

[soft hamlet]

For me it was slightly different because I got referred by a recruiter at an event. I did 7 mini interviews with each department head, then a technical final would follow after the event

Which is mostly just OOP and stuff, for most SWE positions they don't do leetcode

[real island]

Ohhh okay that’s cool! Thank you!

[rugged spade]

7 MINI INTERVIEWS WHAT??

[soft hamlet]

Yuh

I got to meet with the highest up on the chain of different teams

[real island]

What was your RBC process like?

[alpine wadi]

theres like 30 other CS universities in canada, im saying if you go to Ottawa your odds are way better than 90% of the others

[soft hamlet]

Since they had an office 5 mins away from the venue

The people that they interview they brought the leaders down

[rugged spade]

I just cold applied and then i had 1 interview and got offer

the day later

[soft hamlet]

And 10 of them are relevant

[real island]

Oh damn just one interview?

[lapis tide]

name 10 relevant canadian universities

[real island]

That’s nice

[rugged spade]

:O

[real island]

💀

[soft hamlet]

Loo, [redacted]

[rugged spade]

They have me an OOP interview

[lapis tide]

bro redacted uoft

[soft hamlet]

Yeah they don't do leetcode unless you are quant

[real island]

Wait that’s nice

[lapis tide]

guelph

[soft hamlet]

I got a referral for quant dev tooling this year

WE GO UP

[real island]

🙏🙏

[soft hamlet]

It was like backend, frontend, data, UI/UX, infra, etc etc and they also have entire teams to relieve technical debt and port over legacy endpoints

My resume was a mess back then and no experience or project aligned with any other

So they kinda just did an interview thing for every skill

[rugged spade]

Boi WHAT???

[soft hamlet]

[rugged spade]

why is every rbc process like so different

[soft hamlet]

Events are where it's at

[rugged spade]

My friend just did 1 behavioural and boom offer

[soft hamlet]

THEY TOLD ME THEY WOHLD FOLLOW UP

[rugged spade]

cisco i had 4 interviews and that was already stressful idk what 7 is like……

[soft hamlet]

THEY DIDN'T

[rugged spade]

I HATE WHEN THEY DO THAT 😭😭😭

[soft hamlet]

Cisco I technically did 2, and then got rejected (2nd was the final)

Did you know cisco can go up to 8 rounds

On my interview it said 2 of 8 and I asked and they said usually they end it at 2 but it can go up to 8

[soft hamlet]

I mean they obviously found someone better since I was a stupid first year

But they could have just at least given me a rej email

[soft hamlet]

Instead of having my ass emailing recruiters every few weeks for 2 months

[alpine wadi]

Ciena and nokia and solace?!

[soft hamlet]

I'm not going to that one

But yeah

[alpine wadi]

i though you wanted solace

[soft hamlet]

It costs $21

[soft hamlet]

I have a solace referral

It's ok

[alpine wadi]

where you getting all these referrals from

[soft hamlet]

People at Carleton

Just meet people

[alpine wadi]

like youre getting em from fellow interns

[soft hamlet]

Nah just other students I've met
