canada

[frosty axle]

Cuz I got it around the same time as others in process channel

And if I got it then it's probably auto

[cinder kraken]

I didnt get it

[prime cedar]

It’s not auto

[cinder kraken]

anyone applied after sept 9th and got it?

Also IBM sent me this and did not send OA

Did that happen with anyone?

[alpine wadi]

for canadian listings that ask for gpa what scale do you guys use?

[lunar sandal]

4.0

[faint echo]

@cinder kraken you have to fill out the accomodation form first then the coding assessment will get sent after

[cinder kraken]

I did complete the accomodation form

how long after accomodation form?

[smoky flare]

People who got capital one oa, when did you apply?

[faint echo]

took a few mins for me

[broken whale]

For capital one?

[faint echo]

ibm

[broken whale]

Oh

[frosty axle]

7th

[soft hamlet]

I have a Deloitte one tmr

[smoky flare]

You included your transcript while applying?

[frosty axle]

i dont think so

[soft hamlet]

There is Bell, TD, BMO also

I think most are Carleton specific tho

[frosty axle]

just checked my app its just resume

didnt realize you had to include transcript till a =fter

[soft hamlet]

I think so

Sneak in

Deloitte tomorrow (had to register), Interac on the 26th, I forgot when TD and bell were

TD 21st

Bell 20th

[frosty axle]

seems like theres scotia too

for a few schools

[soft hamlet]

We didn't get scotia

We got Interac tho

[frosty axle]

[soft hamlet]

Interac, TD, BMO, Bell, Deloitte this month

Next month we have a general career fair with Nokia, Ericsson, Cisco, Ciena, etc

[frosty axle]

we only have scotia

and that was only advertised to business students too

[soft hamlet]

All events are on our portal

I can attend an accounting event if I wanted to

[frosty axle]

its the same with us just really hard to find out about unless youre actively looking for it

also i could only sign up for a waitlist to get in

[soft hamlet]

Same for us but I check once a week

I missed a bunch of events so now I'm looking

[frosty axle]

yea im just too lazy for that

gotta get on the grind

[soft hamlet]

I got a cisco referral from that

It's really good

Because most recruiters that show up are carleton alumni

[frosty axle]

makes sense

[soft hamlet]

I got moved to interview before I did the OA

[frosty axle]

damn wtf huge

im guessing this was for intern

[soft hamlet]

Yep

[frosty axle]

nice nice

theyre not doing returns?

or are you applying for other internships

[soft hamlet]

I'm a second year

I was applying for first year summer internship

They didn't want a first year and they only realized during the final interview

[frosty axle]

thats tough

crazy that you even got that far tho

[soft hamlet]

My resume was extremely cringe back then

I 100% got carried by the recruiter referral

[frosty axle]

goes to show that referrals work

[soft hamlet]

Exactly

I also had multiple interviews with RBC during an event because recruiter as well

[soft hamlet]

Not by some random intern maybe tho, but a recruiter definitely helps

[frosty axle]

i shouldve attended more recruiting events early on 😔

[soft hamlet]

My only three interviews last cycle was recruiting event related

I only applied to 8 companies

[frosty axle]

i got 0 interviews in my first year just from cold applying

recruiting events is def the wave

[soft hamlet]

What year are you rn

[frosty axle]

4th

applying for new grad now

[soft hamlet]

[frosty axle]

its rough out here

[soft hamlet]

go to networking events

[soft hamlet]

Go see Linda at the Nokia booth

If she likes you then she'll hook you up

[frosty axle]

if only nokia came to my school

[soft hamlet]

Ik someone that got a new grad offer within a month

From that event

[soft hamlet]

Where even are you 😭

[frosty axle]

tmu

[soft hamlet]

[eternal fossil]

tmu not bad

[soft hamlet]

Toronto tryhards

Tmu good but so much competition

[frosty axle]

they just got no connections apart from amd

[soft hamlet]

Who tf wants to go to Ottawa

Which is why we keep our jobs

[soft hamlet]

I want AMD

Ik someone in the ryzen team

[frosty axle]

really hard to get non 12 month+ coop at amd

unless youre from loo

[soft hamlet]

[weak gazelle]

nah UofT

[soft hamlet]

My friend at Carleton got an 8mo

[weak gazelle]

no one from loo gets 12+ month coop at amd

[frosty axle]

most uoft interns that ik are doing 12 months

[weak gazelle]

wym 12+ month

[frosty axle]

12-16

[weak gazelle]

loo only has 4 month

[frosty axle]

yeah thats what i meant by you cant do less than 12 months unless youre from loo

[weak gazelle]

oh

i didnt read the non

[soft hamlet]

Pey 12 month

[weak gazelle]

12 month > 4 month

literally

[timid tartan]

That’s bcs of PEY lol

Idk why people like PEY so much

[weak gazelle]

in this market

gl finding 3 4-month itnernshps lmao

[frosty axle]

its just the easy way out

[soft hamlet]

Deloitte event full

They also resume screened

[timid tartan]

No like even in previous years

[soft hamlet]

[timid tartan]

Ppl seem to really like PEY

[soft hamlet]

I PASSED RESUME SCREEN

[weak gazelle]

yea prev years probably wouldnt make sense

[soft hamlet]

[weak gazelle]

but this year PEY > 4 month ones

[timid tartan]

Ye that’s what I thought

It’s the easiest option

[weak gazelle]

what comapny

comgrats

[frosty axle]

ryerson has its own pey

[soft hamlet]

QUIP is very similar

[timid tartan]

4 month at Google > 12 month at Intel tho

[frosty axle]

they just dont call it pey

[weak gazelle]

yes but the diff is

no one gets 4 month at google this year

[timid tartan]

🤣

[soft hamlet]

Deloitte for a networking event with recruiters and workshops and office tour

[weak gazelle]

also intel pays rlly well

like 40/hr for a year

rlly good lol

[timid tartan]

Hey at least internships still have many more postings than new grad

[soft hamlet]

@timid tartan amogos

[timid tartan]

Tbh in this economy yea sure

[frosty axle]

heard from a dude in vancouver that intel pays like 30 there

[timid tartan]

In prev years nope

[frosty axle]

but in toronto they pay nice

[timid tartan]

Wut

[oblique crater]

12 month kind of a strat you increase chances of return significantly and are able to actually meaningfully contribute

[weak gazelle]

@lapis tide

[oblique crater]

if you can land multiple 4 months your clout is higher though

[lapis tide]

intel vancouver L

[frosty axle]

i was banking on this

[soft hamlet]

@arctic smelt is at intel

[timid tartan]

Multiple 4 months at faang yeah

Multiple 4 months at bank

💀💀💀

[lapis tide]

clearly the COL in vancouver is lower than toronto

[weak gazelle]

yea but that's very very rare in this market lol

[oblique crater]

yeah i’m just saying in a vacuum

[weak gazelle]

like even mid companies

aren't getting back

[soft hamlet]

I'm tryna get 4mo

😦

I have 5 more work terms

My resume will be ~8 jobs

[weak gazelle]

the prob with PEY is if u get stuck in a mid company for a year

[frosty axle]

ye its risky

[soft hamlet]

I'm taking my time to graduate

[weak gazelle]

4 month at mid company >>> 12 months at mid company

lol

[soft hamlet]

Because this economy fuckin sucks

[soft hamlet]

Agree

[oblique crater]

wdym stuck can you not turn down job offers?

[soft hamlet]

I have s24 f24 s25 w25 s26

Those are my next 5

I do courses during internship

I'm forced to take business courses

[lapis tide]

name 1 mid company

[soft hamlet]

Goog

[lapis tide]

fr

[weak gazelle]

cerebras

jk

[lapis tide]

steven be like "amazon"

[weak gazelle]

yea 1 year at RBC is cringe

1 year at any bank

[lapis tide]

what if you provided more liquidity

[oblique crater]

any amount of time at any bank

rbc capital markets nyc i would reluctantly accept

[soft hamlet]

I got a referral for RBC MTL quant dev tooling

[weak gazelle]

my friend did an internship at bmo capital markets and it was data entry

but rbc capital markets is good

[lapis tide]

said the rbc cm worker

[soft hamlet]

BMO capital markets moment

I have 0 winter

[novel dome]

Haven’t even started applying 💀

[soft hamlet]

[timid tartan]

Which Steven

[lapis tide]

you

[topaz linden]

anyone move on from oa for sentry new grad?

[flint sequoia]

During OAs do you get flagged for changing screens or browser tabs? What if I need to look up a python method ?

[analog current]

Use a second laptop and cheat brother no one’s holding u

[flint sequoia]

Lol bet

[lunar sandal]

Mans giving away the secrets

[lunar sandal]

For some,

You have tabbing out as an automatic 0

check the agreements for the OA before u do it

[flint sequoia]

I thought having 2 monitors would work but I guess not

[drifting shore]

use ur phone

[flint sequoia]

I’ll just use my phone or something

[real island]

💀

[analog current]

2 monitors each connected to a laptop

Or 2 laptops

[flint sequoia]

Like my laptop screen and then an external monitor with 2 browsers open one on each screen

[eager haven]

anyone move to phone for sentry toronto internship?

[analog current]

1 laptop to a screen, and the 2nd laptop to another screen

Or 2 laptops

U can also duplicate ur screen on the monitor, flip it and have a friend look up answers for u

[old egret]

yeah l saw that prolly is gonna be code signal tbh

[timid tartan]

Ngl in previous years that might be true

This year I just wanna be off the street somehow lmao

[zinc knot]

Yall getting callbacks?

summer aint looking good for me

[delicate cedar]

Yo, as a canadian citizen, do you answer yes or no to "legally authorized to work in the US" on a phone screening for a job in the US?

[alpine wadi]

you say no unless you have a visa already

[delicate cedar]

but like we have TN, and we can't have TN unless we get a job offer

[alpine wadi]

yeah thats up to them to sponsor you

so you gotta say no

[south rose]

Yes

i put yes.

[delicate cedar]

CDC straight up hung up on me after I said no , highkey should've said yes lol

[delicate cedar]

I do tick yes on the applications lol

[alpine wadi]

isnt that just lying

[south rose]

nah

[lapis tide]

tn not for intern

[alpine wadi]

like theyll get mad when they found out they have to sponsor you

[south rose]

pretty sure legally authorized means with visa

[delicate cedar]

ye im talking about full-time

[lapis tide]

yee

[south rose]

nah its the recruiters job on the first interview.

[alpine wadi]

it means are you authoized to work without use sponsoring you

[lapis tide]

i think tn is fair to say authorized

or rather

[south rose]

if ur canadain

just say yes

you can go get a tn on ur own if u want

[lapis tide]

not authorized but also not require sponsor

[delicate cedar]

thats why Im asking cuz confusion

[lapis tide]

at that point might as well say authorized

tbh i think its more advantageous for you if you say authorized

even though youre technically not

[delicate cedar]

from what I understand its not them sponsoring us, as canadians we just need a job offer so we can get the visa at the border to work there

[alpine wadi]

I get that its defo better for you to say yes cuz most will auto reject if you say no

[lapis tide]

because i dont see a scenario where that bites you in the ass

[alpine wadi]

but some companies get mad and blacklist you from applying again for like 3-5 years

[lapis tide]

whereas if you say no then theres lots of people that are authorized

[alpine wadi]

we need an actual recruiter to answer😭

[alpine wadi]

that would make sense

just scared of getting blacklisted

[delicate cedar]

fk im sad, I think she just wasn't knowledagble about TN and all dat rip

[lapis tide]

definitely lots of active recruiters on this server

[delicate cedar]

never getting a job

[weak gazelle]

for intern or ft?

[lapis tide]

ft

[delicate cedar]

ft

[weak gazelle]

you're not authorized but dont need sponsorship in the case of TN

for H1B you're not authorized and need sponsorship

[lapis tide]

bro hasnt caught up to the discussion

[weak gazelle]

i did

[lapis tide]

the debate is now if its better to say authorized anyway for TN

[weak gazelle]

hmm

idk

if they get mad and block + reject u then

[lapis tide]

yeah but for tn why would they

[weak gazelle]

technically the company would need to provide lawyers for the process to be as simiple as possible

[lapis tide]

from what i gather its effectively very similar to a us citizen currently outside of the us

[weak gazelle]

nah that's much easier they just get in lol

they don't need to do the paperwork

[lapis tide]

im sure practically its more cumbersome

yeah

but to the company

[weak gazelle]

the smaller companies would definitely mind if they need to go through the hassle of TN, even though much easier than H1B
the larger companies probably won't

[lapis tide]

what does the smaller company need to do for tn

tn support letter

🤣

[weak gazelle]

but like

[alpine wadi]

taxes are defo diff for tn

[lapis tide]

just dont pay em

[weak gazelle]

for TN
to maximize chances at the border
and make sure you don't get turned back
larger companies have their immigration lawyers help you

cuz it's quite border agent dependant

[lapis tide]

thats the uscis part right

otherwise at POE its us cbp

what a helpful website

[south rose]

im on TN rn

if yall got questions

[lapis tide]

how do i graduate

[south rose]

work hard

offer before u graduate.

[weak gazelle]

did the company you're working at, help you with the TN process, like provide their lawyers or smth

[south rose]

yeah

[weak gazelle]

was their a lot of documentation involved

[lapis tide]

is that the uscis route

[south rose]

hmm in a way yeah

basically they wrote a pacakge for me

[weak gazelle]

hence smaller companies wouldn't wanna go through that extra hassle
especially if they think you have work authorization
but usually they'll probably ask you that during the initial stage anyways

[south rose]

i went to perason airport

person airport with the package i believee

[lapis tide]

just get h1b fr

[south rose]

meh if they have money they should lbe fine to sponsor you

it really isnt a big hassle for them for TN

[weak gazelle]

the argument is

[south rose]

i guess it depends on the company

[weak gazelle]

.

[south rose]

but i wouldnt work for any company that doesnt have an immigration team...

huge red flag

[weak gazelle]

well

[south rose]

usually they outsource it which is fine too

[lapis tide]

just like the jobs

[coral lion]

has anyone done the opposite (us citizen trying to get sponsorship for canadian jobs)

[lunar sandal]

Lol

[real island]

😭

They don’t need to we got no jobs

[weak gazelle]

the question is why

also pretty sure that's instant reject

on principle

[coral lion]

lol canadian partner + align more politically + liked living in vancouver for couple months

Do y'all still have hope in this career

[broken whale]

Thinking of switching to English major

[tawny zephyr]

I am thinking of switching to film theory

[timid tartan]

I'm focusing on consulting positions lmao

SWE is over

[cinder kraken]

did you hear back from veeva?

[timid tartan]

No they are heavily backlogged

[timid tartan]

And I probably won't pass bcs I didn't get a full score

[cinder kraken]

they had the time to reject me lol

[timid tartan]

After OA?

[cinder kraken]

Yea

[timid tartan]

Huh weird

[cinder kraken]

I did 3/4 questions

[timid tartan]

Where is my rejection LMAOOOO

Wtf

[cinder kraken]

man 4 questions was a bit too much

especially in Java

[real island]

Anyone get Hubspot Canada Intern OA?

[timid tartan]

OA format is always the same regardless for NG or intern

In fact the question bank is the same I believe

[timid tartan]

Hmm I'm gonna follow up again -- mine has been almost two weeks

[real island]

Oh okay I didn’t get it yet but I saw people getting rejection before OA

Hopefully I hear back soon 🥲

[timid tartan]

Dw too much if you have other options lmao

The pay is not as good as you'd think

[real island]

Oh lmao I got 0 options rn 💀

[timid tartan]

Oh shit LOL okay

[frosty axle]

How soon after oa did you hear back

I'm getting ghosted as well

[frosty axle]

Did you email them about it?

[honest tulip]

Where r all the winter coops

[timid tartan]

Yea this is gonna be the second time

[timid tartan]

Tbh I think without a perfect score, we should assume rejection lmao

[frosty axle]

Yeah that was my assumption as well

[timid tartan]

Yea in this market non-perfect is pretty much a suicide move

[frosty axle]

But no rejection also makes me think we could just be in a second pool of candidates

[timid tartan]

Even perfect doesn’t mean anything either

Let alone missing test cases

[frosty axle]

Also it's veeva Toronto so potentially less competitive

[timid tartan]

That’s what I thought initially

But it’s been roughly 2 weeks for me

Really doubt it

[frosty axle]

Same here

Did they ask if you were interested in any other roles in the hr phone

[timid tartan]

In previous years yeah but in this market uh

😂

[frosty axle]

Fair enough

[timid tartan]

Nah

[frosty axle]

Hmm alright

They asked me if I was interested in the performance eng role but looking at their site it's not an entry level role

[timid tartan]

Just try it though

Maybe you have enough exp to skip entry level

[frosty axle]

Yeah I said I was interested

[frosty axle]

Most definitely not

[timid tartan]

Lmao

[timid tartan]

Is it C++ role?

[frosty axle]

I think it's java as well

Gonna email them to ask more about it

[real island]

Oh damn when did you apply?

[frozen brook]

same, applied on the 6th and rejected 2 days later :( have 1 bank and 2 engineering companies but no luck rip

[real island]

1 F500

Stripe I got ghosted

[prime cedar]

what was you oa score for stripe?

[real island]

I applied and they ghosted me

[prime cedar]

oh okok

[simple python]

[oblique crater]

keep grinding kings and this is also true ^

[real island]

😔

[simple python]

wher winter

[frozen brook]

google apm in coming out on the 18

product manager intern

[honest tulip]

Are there any companies in Canada that are not sht

I did a coop for a bank

Never want to do it again

[real island]

Are banks not that good to intern at? Just wondering what your experience was like

[frozen brook]

microsoft, amazon, google, hubspot i heard

[honest tulip]

i was at an electric car company this summer (not tesla) and the difference was night and day

[simple python]

yea i know :C

[honest tulip]

at the bank the people in charge of day to day of the coop program were full time devs doing this on the side

[frozen brook]

I actually liked my bank intern, people were great and made lots of cool friends. Tech stack was okay, a bit complicated and outdated, but pushing to prod had a lot of bureaucracy. I finished a task, but it would take a day or two to push it to prod cause u had to write documents + get approval from 2-3 people

[simple python]

never got anything from them tho 😭

[honest tulip]

whereas the company i was at this summer had great organization in terms of having a dedicated university relations team

[analog current]

whats ibm OA like

[honest tulip]

building community

[analog current]

for new grad

[honest tulip]

the internship had a lot more structure in terms of completing an intern project, and having a scale on how your performance was measured

[simple python]

1 easy/med and 1 writing to files

[honest tulip]

and yeah i agree bank approvals take forever and the tech stack is old and it's really hit and miss depending on your team

[simple python]

just did it 10 minutes ago lol

[prime osprey]

2 questions and you get 1hr. I thought it was difficult, I only managed to solve all test cases for the 2nd question.

[analog current]

proctored?

[prime osprey]

say no more

[hot rapids]

I’m basically applying to everything and getting no phones :P

[uneven arrow]

[quartz ridge]

[urban ore]

It’s the other way around, the job is the way to get a visa

[candid oxide]

only hft 💀

[real island]

🤔

Lowkey could be genius

[quartz ridge]

yeah like you just put headquarters

[tawny raptor]

[candid oxide]

It doesn’t

[azure vortex]

and not the toronto position

[quartz ridge]

nah

bing chilling

jokes on u that's how i got my last job

[normal jetty]

I think it works if u did it remotely based out of there as an independent contractor right

[smoky flare]

I did it last week, first round was 1 easy debugging question, then 1 LC easy to medium. Second round was 1 LC easy 2-3 LC Mediums (one was number of islands, don't remember the others that well). I did them all but I think I fumbled it by saying my expectations are 75-85k ideally 80k, haven't heard back yet. Say 70k to the hiring manager if they ask you.

[pseudo storm]

I saw on levels that they pay 70k in saskatoon which kinda sucks

[oblique quiver]

A few

[smoky flare]

Yeah it says says in process on their website so idk yet. Btw they might ask you to optimize your solutions too so keep that in mind.

[oblique quiver]

I miss most tech xd

[pseudo storm]

Yeah they asked that today during the technical part

[oblique quiver]

F I just got my sequence change cleared

[eternal fossil]

[soft hamlet]

Just went to the Deloitte office

I actually wanna work for them in the consultancy group

[lunar sandal]

any internships ?

gg

[soft hamlet]

Deloitte opening in Jan for consultancy

Yes but usually the only conflict of interest shows up when you work in auditing or assurance

In consultancy not so much

[lapis tide]

https://tenor.com/view/deloitte-work-werk-work-from-home-wfh-gif-22916701

[soft hamlet]

It's crazy how you can be a manager with 5 YoE tho

[lunar sandal]

Deloitte

hmm

[soft hamlet]

Ye

Also you can do double promotions by working in Canada for 6 months and Australia for the other 6 months

[teal remnant]

I think the pay is not that good for Deloitte Canada

[lunar sandal]

ye ik ppl that have done that.. idk tho Deloitte isn’t exactly a company I wanna stay with

[soft hamlet]

Also double performance bonus

[lunar sandal]

Any pay is good pay in dis economy

[soft hamlet]

Nah it's more of a 2 year ish stay

[teal remnant]

It’s just average pay tho

[soft hamlet]

Like 70-80k in my area + performance bonuses

In my area that's pretty good

[teal remnant]

Which is basically average pay any company can do that

[lunar sandal]

Tf ?

Ottawa living expenses that low?

[soft hamlet]

Yes

You can rent for like < 20k/yr

[lunar sandal]

???

[teal remnant]

Ain’t no way

[soft hamlet]

If you commute from my neighborhood, you can rent for 800 a month

Convenient rent is 1500

[teal remnant]

All of us should move to Ottawa now 😄

[lunar sandal]

++

[teal remnant]

Let’s take all the Nokia and Cisco jobs 👀

[soft hamlet]

Cisco pays the same in ottawa as toronto

Nokia has 90k offers

[teal remnant]

Better than Deloitte lol

[soft hamlet]

Yes but performance bonuses are fat at consultancies

[lunar sandal]

Bro I rlly don’t wanna spend a summer in Ottawa

[teal remnant]

I see

[soft hamlet]

You can probably get like 10-20k if you are lucky or work really hard lol

[teal remnant]

Damm

[soft hamlet]

Which is still about the same as nokia

But most entry level here is 70k with little to no bonus

[lapis tide]

Bro tryna convince mfs to go to deloitte

[soft hamlet]

I want deloitte

[lapis tide]

Less competition

[teal remnant]

Idk why I think Deloitte is just decent

[soft hamlet]

Probably only for a term or two of co-op or maybe a couple of years of full time

[soft hamlet]

You aren't wrong

That's why there is so much turnover

But it seems like a good learning environment

[teal remnant]

Are consultants also dev there ?

[soft hamlet]

Yes

There is a dev team for consultancy

[teal remnant]

Oh I see what u mean

[soft hamlet]

And also a cyber security and infra teams in the risk analysis department

They all pay about the same but the bonuses from consulting are apparently good

[teal remnant]

Do you need lc for Deloitte ?

[lunar sandal]

😂😂😂

[soft hamlet]

Hirevue

[lunar sandal]

smth abt ur profile

Is funny af

[teal remnant]

I see

[soft hamlet]

[teal remnant]

Mine ?

[lunar sandal]

No the minion guy

[soft hamlet]

Deloitte reads cover letter to see which team they want to place you in

So if you don't submit one, gg

[lapis tide]

https://tenor.com/view/wewew-minions-siren-lights-cute-gif-17090542

[soft hamlet]

Idk I want deloitte for at least one term

And then move on

[lapis tide]

First time that sentence has been uttered in cscd

[soft hamlet]

Banana don't jiggle jiggle

[teal remnant]

[oblique crater]

cs students will clown boring cities and then sit at home in their $2700 1 bed apartment and doom post all weekend

[soft hamlet]

Nah fr

[lunar sandal]

This is almost exactly me

bravo 👏

[teal remnant]

Yo but how you guys affording 2700 apartments 🥲

[soft hamlet]

You don't

[oblique crater]

all love g it’s a common occurence

[lapis tide]

Id rather doom in view of the cn tower

[fierce lotus]

Cisco sent some rejections apparently

[teal remnant]

Ottawa good bro

Reach Nokia 🥲

[fierce lotus]

Expensive tho

Salaries don't match the living expenses

[placid dawn]

lets see if gpt4 is worth it as they say

[wheat comet]

why LMAO

[wheat comet]

not anymore tbh

it got shittier after release

[meager cairn]

hi

=^-^=

[wheat comet]

i swear its almost the same as 3.5 now

[placid dawn]

so far it is pretty similar

also way slower

[lunar sandal]

It’s prolly cuz ClosedAI ( again, probably ) uses a huge dataset that they have hooked up to an ensemble of LLMs that made gpt4 so good

Now seems like they decoupled some pieces

or rather, datasets**

[placid dawn]

i heard the point of the ai is to become humanlike . aka dumb and slow

[lunar sandal]

Eh

Still just a text predictor and generator end of the day

[fallen mason]

is uber star only for us applicants?

[drifting shore]

^mass hiring coming soon hopium on low

[digital rapids]

QQ for any Canadian citizens. When filling out job apps, do you say yes or no to "would you need sponsorship to work in the US?" Asking because I recently found out that getting a TN visa as a software engineer only requires a job letter at the border and is a same day process with no quote limit on the visa. So technically a company doesnt have to "sponsor" you, but Ive always put that I needed sponsorship in apps and that has definitely taken me out of consideration for some jobs.

[fallen mason]

I say yes

[vivid fiber]

You have to put yes

Companies kinda have to sponsor you

Most companies still hire a lawyer to make a pre-processed application for you

That was my experience, and the same exp as some friends as well

[digital rapids]

Ah true, thanks for clarifying.

[slow warren]

and for "do you have work authorization" you put no right?

[vivid fiber]

yes

[real island]

What role is this for?

[soft hamlet]

dude what

[eternal fossil]
