2 birds one stone
but we r all broke
mcdouble is no wlike 3 dollars
thats how bad the eocnomy is rn
we'll ask for starting bonus
does mcdonalds have signing bonus
i dont live near the redacted area anymore becuase of work 
this channel should have a meetup
buy mcdonalds
together
and enjoyu life
no im actualy homeless

dont have enough moneyf or my schizophernia
Meet up at Rebel
I mean if theres nothing to applyu on linkedin
that means we have time to touch grass
meetup at google
im down
New fear unlocked
š
Good thing I was scared of rollercoasters from before
Damn, could have used that 30 mins to do leetcode
Too bad

is this latest news?
Ghosted
yes
this happens often, idk how ppl get the balls to go on these rides
Ik someone who did
is it ng?
pey?
I got ghosted by konrad intern for what itās worth
same lol
4 month
i even applied to pey pos
how am i not hearing BACK š
What places you apply to so far for PEY?
Must be the gpa diff
so many bro tenstorrent, ml startups, amazon, huawei, cerebras
GPA hella important for PEY from what Iāve seen
i thougbt interviews dont start till oct?
Internal job board
ye mine isnt even THAT bad + im one of the few ones that have prior exp
Yeah tbh youāll be good
Itās still hella early
October youāll hear back more
Intel outbyet?
negative
cope š„¶
if i knew gpa owuld be this important
i wouldnt have grinded anything but school last year
like where
š
they ask you STATS for ML positions?
thats what ml is
im jk ik
š¤£
still thats a bit extreme for a pey posting
linearly regress to some bitches
i would hate to do stats
what are some ml stats
google it
bro outside of pey ur gpa doesnt matter
unless HFT
ima try graduating with a 3.5
graduate with a 1.86
is stripe oa auto or nah?
really dont wanna do this bell video interview bs 
yeah they have a bunch of tech graduate programs still open
until end of Oct
you can apply to up to 3 so gonna pick another 2 after I do this video interview
no I've only applied to one
so im guessing they re-use across apps
well, if I end up having to do another one might be good if I fuck up this one
I think fuck ups are normal tbh, we're only human
esp with such a strict time format
no idea, I applied pretty late tho gonna do the OA tmr
I got it after 3 weeks so I donāt think so šš
imagine getting it
brah
ye had no idea it was open lol
Why do i get no interviews 
amazon gapped
didnāt u literally get msft final
Yea but i only got sentry oa and msft interview out of all my apps
How do I get msft bro 
"only" msft interviewā ļø
I donāt even remember places I have applied to anymore
Thatās what i dont understand. I get resume reject from random companies and get lucky with 1 big name each internship search
thats how it is
Last winter i literally got rejected by everyone and only got amazon interview
No
@vernal sigil what uni
Trash
Which province
@raw rampart
Ayo wait
Ye and most of them downtown
doesnāt pan go to Concordia
Concordia is dog shit
it's like the special ed university of mtl
all students are low key disabled
Heās concordia lol
bro wtf š
why are yāall trashing the uni bruh just get your job and keep it moving
@weak gazelle does your name start with
?
Fr lol plenty of cracked ppl at Concordia
montreal sounds super nice to live in
visited this summer it was easily the best city in canada
so much happening
Who mutual
bro is doxxing out in the open
Same
Mozilla had a week long meetup there
Nice city
how hard. was mozilla pey interview
that sounds so sick
no posting came in yday
pey sounds pretty good damn

better not be 3.5 gpa filter bro
š¤£


wym š¤£
My first team was C++ heavy and the posting looks like theyāre hiring for that

tic tacs
I just think theyāre probably looking for C++ folk
i thought they loved rust or something
They made it
oh yea lol
That would be a huge plus
If u have rust experience
Whos everyone? I like C++
Only lang I'm comfortable with is python 
Yea it's a weird skill - most companies don't use it but it seems like a lot of people stull value it
C++ , C are mostly used in game dev and embedded systems?
Solving LC in C++ isn't that hard. I haven't ever felt at a disadvantage when compared to Python - except for string manipulation
Both those industries are pretty small compared to most dev jobs
best I can do is vector<int> a(n0);
yea
oh brother
Fintech loves C++
Yea there's a fair bit of companies that use it. It's still a great skill. Just that there's soo many more JS jobs out there
Isn't GPU program like assembly level? Not sure just asking
I haven't ever felt disadvantaged not knowing JS but knowing C++. I just target diff jobs
Wait u donāt know JS?
All I know in Js is 5+3 gives 53
I did Computer Engineering so maybe that's why. Did embedded first coop, C++/Dev-ops dev 2nd. New grad was on an infra team and now general SWE doing Go
Nah. The Infra was Meta though
nice
Although they used Python the most
Ng at meta?
Yea Meta recruiters really want C++
Yea briefly. Till I was laid off with the big wave š¦
Don't say you're searching for a job ...
Nah I'm employed. Thanks
Guppy works at a small fintech startup next to Hudson River
Help us get employed š
Ufff -1 cracked guy out of comp
Yea it's not all that different. You could learn pointers in less than a week. I think that's the thing most people struggle with
I once did a Amazon OA in C thinking they wouldn't ask me DSA questions in that language. Big mistake, I had to build data structures before being able to use them
I didn't move forward
C and C++ are very different
did they ask u to build an AVL tree
For example some ppl be like C/C++
Donāt recommend that cuz
That may throw some experienced hiring manager off
I've heard the same. People who really know C++ don't think of it like that
I think this only matters for low level pos
sure but the reason something exists and how it's currently used isnt necessarily the same
Not even. There's no hashmap in C's stdlib. Try doing LC without a hasmap
if you were looking for solutions to a problem in the two languages, optimal solutions in the two would almost always look very different
thank you for the insight
No
Still on ā interview completed ā
Do you know whatās citi hiring process ?
Never got oa after they said I cleared resume screen
But I know people who got phone and final
I'm kind of suspect of this since I used to see like 10x the number of JS jobs compared to C++. Also how is scratch above Rust or Swift. Is this just basing it off of Google Searches?
Nope they send you email
But people already got final
So I think too late now
I cleared resume screen but got ghosted no oa wtf
Yeah
No the intern one
Idk about ft
I got an email from them
But never heard back from after
Bro said they will tell me next steps proceeds to ghost me for 2 week
Meanwhile people got phone 
Aināt no way
Thatās not how phone works
You schdule a time in advance
š®
Well I fked up then
I didnāt get any call š
But why will the randomly call makes no sense
I still donāt know any JS pretty much
Ahh I missed the train then 
even though I made a full react front end I just stackover flowed and banged my head against the wall through it
Either citi is slow asf or I missed the call
Anyways we will see
š®
U cracked bro I donāt think I have interviewed for more than 10 yet
š²
Hello this is John Smith from AirDuct Cleaning Services
pey?
All the best sir 
Nope
Scotia plum profile thing is so weird
Thatās good fam
Ng market rough from what I see
Canāt you go back to ur last internship place ?
š²
The place I was at last summer also did not hire new grad this year
Itās a bank
š²
Thatās good pay Damm
Keep grinding bro
I also need to get back on lc lost motivation cause not getting much response
@analog current just did the video interview, pretty chill
it is man, one of my answers was defs a bit all over the place but I ended up bring it together by the end lol
oh same dude
1st and 3rd went great
mine was about critical thinking in a hard problem ive solved
I tripped over myself answering because I couldnt tell how much technical detail I should go into lol
Thats good honestly, I overcomplicated it by talking about a tech problem in my internship lol
I defs need to get a standard response in my head
Also they said to dress professionally but I wore a tshirt lol
yolo im a dev
yep, exactly the same thing I did lol
I was just tired, defs gonna dress better if I end up moving on or get an interview with banks
bro the policies for my coop program are so cringe, I can decline up to at most one offer canāt reject any interviews
better than no coop program
cadillac fairview enjoyers
ftx
that was like a third of the money
also you dont get 11.1% returns by being defensive
i think they should start a payday loan company
@weak gazelle my boy š» blew up in tiktok
https://www.tiktok.com/@longtendo227/video/7280647047068339462?lang=en
did u ever see longchung in toronto though


torontos aint a world class city if long chung's popularity die dout
Do u guys ever just
Lay in bed and still apply to jobs on your phone
Or are you guys stable and like to shut off at night
U hav your resume on ur phone?
hmm tbf its not that hard
esp on android
actually ios is fine too i had to move around some pdfs while i was sick once and couldn't really sit up
so I'd use my ipad for them
i got two OA links for capital one do you think they'll notice if i take it again
does anyone know where/how the leetcode bot gets its problems
like the one on this discord server, does it just pull the most recently tagged company questions
Leetcode
It doesn't pull the most recent
It's a bit out of date atm
This site is more up to date
oh hey sweet thanks!!
For experienced candidates yeah
Tbh the entry level / new grad hiring seems to be done already lmao there's literally nothing
What about interns @timid tartan ?
How is that even a question
There's a shit ton of that out there

Yeah but they ghosting bro
At least compared to new grad
Bcs you don't have multiple faang on resume


Welcome to the market

Imagine if the tech workforce became 10x more efficient
and for example Amazon could build software 10x as fast
Theyāre not hiring 10x fewer
Theyāre building 10x software
And weāre nowhere near 10x gains in efficiency
Agreed fr
We move
It is monday my dudes
New week
New postings
Keep at the grind
Me too
Yeah it seems like there is 0 new grad positions available in Canada. What gives?
Yep exactly
@sly kindle cant u also apply for US?
Yeah I have been applying to US. New grad opportunities are pretty slim so far there too
Godspeed 
If u canāt find a job then weāre all fucked
Opens up in January for new grad right?
intern market is also shit
better than NG yes
but not as many compnaies taking as many interns
and too many people applying
Yo, I hope this year the internship market is actually better than last year, last year's was brutal
Itās already worse š
People last year had Zon offers by now no?
how so?
^
Zon hasnāt even sent OAs yet
amazon?
Ye
I knew someone
who has dual citizenship
American and Canadian
and he got an internship last summer in Philly
and he was only a first year
meanwhile I only have 1
they not hiring
Dual citizenship is OP asf
Real
not with us. u have to pay income taxes to us no matter where u earn the money
No, Canada and the US has a tax treaty
Naahhhh lmao
oh didnt know
how? Do you have a cracked resume?
Bro called his resume bad š
i wish
i also applied in like october š¤£
Oh tbh thatās prob a little late
I didnāt get OA last year either š„²
i applied in feb

Need job
yes
Yeah I know a guy who was shortlisted in 2021/2022 for zon internship in August. He got in from the list and has a ft return offer rn.
I had an offer for summer 2023 in July 2022
That's crazy if they haven't even sent out OA's yet
U returning to zon for 24 summer?
wtf ššš
pretty sure amazon intern apps usually come out mid july, this year was mid sept š
Anyone still ghosted by Hubspot Canada intern?
Nah. I got a not-inclined
And I'm graduating this year anyways
Bruh same š
Reject from HubSpot ng; š¤§
Any luck with interviews?
I have 4 internships including 1 at Amazon, 4.0, projects, and I've gotten 1 call back for NG applications so far.
Applying in both US and Canada
š„²
Do you go to UofT/Loo?
Hi, I need some advice, I am messing up simple OA's like really easy ones. I am doing leetcode, did around 250 questions mostly mediums and still mess up OA's. I really need help, I don't want to keep making these mistakes especially in this job market.
@sly kindle goes to too
me and him would munch up lazeez everyday during the good old times 
you gotta remember just the concept on how to solve it and then try not to worry/think too much about it during the OA. It sounds like you don't do well under pressure, so maybe try to relax a bit before doing the OA like being a comfy mood or something lol. I usually watch youtube before I do OAs and I think I do average -> better than average
that being said, I suck at behaviourals and technicals interviews, but thats another thing lmao
Got grad date rejected by square point ?
Bruh what
its fucking over bros
@sly kindle how are your hardware friends doing in terms of NG
if u dubs ppl cant find shit us peasents from community colleges (ubc/uoft) are done for
has anyone interviewed with arista networks recently? I have my first technical this week and was wondering what types of LC questions to study
LOL I go to Laurier guys
From what I hear though UW kids aren't doing incredible either tho
study c is all i can say
and know ur os concepts well
Hey can anyone provide insight as to what I should expect for a 1 hour long in person interview?
not necessarily, my buddy didnt have much c/c++ experience and he did LC in python. but that's probably team dependant
which company, but prolly leetcode, explaining a project technically, maybe behavioral too?
usually like a 15-20 min behavioural and the rest techinical. Depends on the the job tho
which company is it lol in person damn
normally they interview in c strongly
Stingray
oh probs an exception then, interesting
atleast when they hire us
yea every 1 hour interview i've had is in this format 20 mins behavioural and rest technical
anyone did intact AI developer oa before?
Front end back end and asset management
Stingray
I try, previously while hunting internships I used to solve OA's rather easily, complete it optimize it everything.
for codesignal Q4 did you guys ever have to implement union find, interval trees etc? or am I just overthinking the solution
Did you get veeva reject yet?
no you do
i got a union find question
but didnt figure it out
i thought it was an infinite interval question
so i implemented a BIT and tried it with that
but the solution was too slow
reject trees
No it's the opposite lol. If my resume was good then yea y'all are fcked if I can't get a job.
But my resume is not good
@lunar sandal berate this man

Hey good/bad is kinda subjective too
There's no single standardized metric to categorize it lol
Then either rusty, or your anxiety is flaring when doing them when they didnt in the past
easy
i messed up because i thought the first question was LRU cache though LOL
however in the multiple choice they asked 1 stats question and 1 ml question (about hyperparameters)
have they not found anyone by now???
thats a little sus
its been there for months
Oh fk idk what that is lol
This one is for Montreal
Even if itās also AI developer?
one mine though that was like a single digit percentage of the points so its probably nbd
i imagine the hong kong & montreal teams are pretty distinct
i guess they might use the same oa idk
from what i know, intact mtl had a event like a career fair
so they were waiting for that and then will be filling for winter
Around 30
no clue, maybe low 30s to mid 30
Same as msft
hmm maybe i should apply
Yea for first internship they pay mid 20s but for 3rd they pay 30+
c1
oh shit right I see yeah cuz I read using hashmaps usually it is solvable guess not
oh nice was it at all interval related?
Ayo rbc 
same : )
are HR phone interviews technical (anything other than ur resume experiences)
for swe backend position (c++)
I have not passed any of these LOL
anyone know if stripe new grad is full? they took down their toronto job posting
why do u need amplify
Wait you got DoorDash interview?
how long was it open for
anyone interview with scotiabank trade floor before?
oh how i wish i could do this
u dont got mid terms b4 reading week
@turbid island did kinaxis drop the offer yet
no way
Had a friend who heard back a week ago
Did you fill out that form they sent btw?
op
Ohh I see, when did you apply?
Charm, did you get the DD OA
wait dd has oa
I think?
ye i was gonna say
Nope
j went straight to phone
Yeah i aināt getting shit
I finished OA on Friday just waiting to hear back
Damn same š„² itās gg

im not passing screens at all
outside shitaxis i didnāt get anything yet
send me my tiktok oa
albeit dog resume
I got a half decent resume

Granted 0 faangs
I got my tiktok oa, but didnt do great rip
what position
has literally no one heard back for the ml one
š¦
swet intern
yep i would also make a pretty sweet intern
sweat*
i got my return offer and i got a $5 ($35/h total) raise, but I know someone who I was working with as an intern last year got $38, should I ask for like.. 40?
Return internship offer?
yea internship
Does the other intern go to the same school as you?
nah, waterloo :(
Ah, could be why they get paid more
hmm.. painn
do they pay based on schol? wdym,
been with them twice tho, and like.. this would be my third
Oh in that case you can prob get more
is he on same team as yours @frozen brook
yea
Some companies do
I thought skill>>>anything else in swe
clearly not lol
i mean, the time before that I got a $2 raise >-> so idk, kinda wanna make up for it
Also, gonna try to use it as leverage to make companies hurry up (dd and goldman)
imagine emailing goldman this
Anyone interview for intuit intern in Toronto before? Itās 30min coding
Goldman donāt give a fk
ill dm
Yea today, I applied externally but im from ww
congrats on intuit
Congrats on intuit and dd
Congrates!
Welcome to Canada
We will have an entire generation of unemployed scrubs
I applied to a minimum wage front-desk position in my school
and I got rejected
and I was told that the position was "competitive"
but it was just a part-time minimum wage job
and the questions they asked
4x FAANG + HFTs or gtfo
That's the rule in Canada

what were the questions they asked
at small companies that paid more (albiet not by that much, $5, but still decent)
they asked me "as a front desk representative, how will you foster and encourage diversity, equity, and inclusion here?"
and I'm just like
I'm just a front desk dude
i will deny service to people with a skin colour that is not mine
yea my friend heard back from google sydney
when does Google Step open?

real
October 7th
source?
even HFT ppl resume rejected by job offering 17/hr in eastern quebec
I read on the discord you can prob search for it
because they'll think you'll jump ship the second you see something better, in defense of those companies
This must be a joke right
it is a joke
hft aint shit
Nah
Yes
they said "no"
name 10 people who did
I know a few people
not loo
Hearing back for US internship is much easier than US new grad IMO lmao
says steven with 6 FAANG and HFT on resume
I don't even have 1
@timid tartan is cracked af
(No, Amazon doesn't count)
Iāve heard a bunch of folks heard back, not nearly as many offers
I have no faang, no hft
That's why you're even more cracked dude
@lunar sandal berate this man
..
Applications out
@hot rapids not faang tho
That's still faang-adjacent I guess
imagine barely anyone in current 2nd-3rd year market is getting faang
amazon coinbase
what r we gonna dew
be the barely anyone
āResume trashā
need luck for that
having google docs on resume helps with ATS screening? 
Make ur own luck
This is a question for #1019675142248468601 faq
Use Jakes Resume tho
yeah like quentin tarantino
"performed meta analysis"
š
ATS' aren't that dumb
built amazon clone*
Unfortunately
ats is overrated
deployed ec2 on AWS 
do projects even mean anything after ur first internship
why not
LMFAO ive seen a lot of this
Used OpenAI APIs to create a todo list app
bruhh that's like starting a pc, idk why ppl have that on their resume
For?
jobs
if this is bad, think about what finance majors have on their resume
bold openAI
Used OpenAI (invested by Microsoft, competitor to Google Deepmind) APIs to create a todo list app
ATS W
Some good project ideas that quant and faang recruiters have told me about:
MERN discord clone
Calculator app
Chess engine
Todo list
Tic tac toe game
Automated trading bot
now its.. idk what it is
i think user traffic >>> everything else
no matter how cool ur shit looks
can anyone one review my friends resume?
if ur not logging metrics on it idt ppl care
bro is telling me that its solid
send me their address
Used OpenAI (invested by Microsoft, competitor to Google Deepmind) APIs to create a todo list app that can capture tasks todo or in progress such as quantitative research
increased OpenAI API usage by 30%
invested by peter thiel, founder of paypal, investor of stripe
Used Python (invented by and widely used by engineers at Google, Apple and Netflix) to build a calculator app
Spearheaded competitive analysis on FAANGMULA (Facebook, Apple, Amazon, Netflix, Google, Microsoft, Uber, Lyft, Airbnb) industries, gaining a comprehensive insight into the tech and sharing economy trends
best APM point
if that's what they do
queried LLM for optimized answer, which reducing web(google)searching by 80%
I once saw a resume where the dude unironically described his intern project experience as āhelped 100000 people keep their jobs at the companyā
I hate recruiters
ANY NEW NEW GRAD POSITIONS
Prove me wrong: the dumbest people in any company work in HR
wish I was one among them
That has been my anecdotal experience
None
They just have literally dozens of candidates and no info, so they canāt say anything useful most of the time and honestly donāt care much about most junior candidates
yk ppl say dont generalize but then whats the definition of n people's anecdotal experience all being the same?
a fallacy
āPure coincidenceā
Yes a lot
Never believe any anecdotes! Trust the data!!

Ask me for a soruce
I can give themt o you
if you dont believe me
source please 
I'll throw you a party
don't playing with my pain bro
I told my friend his points sucks, he thinks I'm jealous of his resume
lmao
please
wrote object oriented code in Java
LOOOOOOOOL

resume rejected from supermarket
I feel like if you are applying for service jobs, gotta take off all ur internships otherwise they think you will dip
ik mcdonalds would rather have the no prospect fella that is forced to stay
maybe the amazon fulfillment center will pick up an alumni
You know what job will be really popular in 10 years
You guys should start preparing
⦠landlord foot massager
Or maybe landlord chef
Or landlord serf
Is this
Like ur massaging the landlords foot?
masseause
why does it feel like the US fellas are popping off every day, but canada is so doomer 
its over bro
US too good
i saw a resume once that said "used if-else technique for form input handling"
This person now works for Google
i use if else statements a lot too š
this is ml
++
dox
US is having issues too
Only difference is that Canada hasnāt had a real economy in years
Our economy since 2016 has been immigration -> increased asset prices
Let me sleep with you so its 1150?
and you get my cuddles

Iām down
This will only get worse in the coming years
Soon we will see tens of thousands homeless
Me in 2 years
east hastings?
What do we even produce?
Real estate agents
KW
maple syrup
2.3k is well within market range in KW
I dont get why Oakville is so expensive though
Literaly so far from office and in a suburb
Thats high end tho
Not basic 1b
its joever
isnt it the average?
not speicficaly high end condos
1.9k avg
old ppl love suburbia
oakville prices are jacked wherever u go in that city bro
Ahh I see what u mean
I mean its literaly just a bunch of rich old people that loves golf and tennis and boats
and suburbian life

yeah im never stepping foot there again
refer me for doordash in cali (Iām still waiting for the TikTok interview invite, if Iām ever going to get one
)
oakville = palo alto of canada
minus the being across the street from stanford
insetad its sheridan college
Appleby college is probably more presitigious
Kids in appleby college are pobably CEOs at 22 and dont hang around at this discord becuase of connections
thats why I think it presitigous 
they hire kids straight into jane street (and finch)
i wouldnt even be suprised
like you could be friends with kids whose parents are oil barons there
get into jane street without any interviews 
new building under construction 
its very nice though
also its not a college
its a private school
that can cost more then ur degree 
yeha but get to work in citadel afterwards though
private schools are about the network
yeah exactly
what the fuck

is that a high school

yea lmao
tons of private schools in the US
and aroudn the world
thats almost intl tuition
are even more
expensive
espeicially in the US
you'd see vast majority of alumni at these schools at ivy leagues
legacy admissions 
yeah they're magnate schools
but that price is just cuz the school can extort the parents..also class sizes must be small af

my friend went here
where is ur friend now
and in eastern asia (where he's from), UofT has a pretty good name
Just say chinese
he's not
you are right it might be anxiety 
Close enough to get to dt Toronto in like half an hour but far enough for a quiet town vibe. Also on the lakeshore
i dont think it was just amazon that made me like this
its also this idea tht once you made it
now what?
when you prioritize a goal for so many years and then actually get it
the future is uncertain and the will to grind goes away
but yeah, its tough to be in that situation
glad he came out of it eventually
I think itās very team dependent
100%
Give job
Yeah I see the appeal, for me though, I found it realy boring - maybe because my childhood was there. Rather live in a shoebox in a city for me with a short commute to work but to each their own
Internships but all my team was chill
Thatās basically any company right ?
I love zon tho gib zon 
Ye so zon not bad depending on team
rather die as amazon employee than no job
rather amazon employee than a normal new grad job
u guys need to work in construction for a week lol
Fr bro, my friend Bill did roofing in the middle of July it's hell
Bill the Redhead Roofer
happened to me when I graduated, I just realized I had to pick another goal if I ever wanted to get my willpower to delay gratification again
absolutely
otherwise I was eating out, less gym and just doing whatever my lizard brain desired while keeping up with the minimum at work and socially
