Canada has pretty much 0 R&D in tech 🫠

[night snow]

Do executive work in other countries, money launder by buying properties in Canada

[lunar sandal]

it'll be felt the most by ppl that dont alr own houses for one

i wanna train an ai modal of me to do interviews for me

[dapper thorn]

Read up on their values and throw that shit in too

[weak gazelle]

search it up

[timid tartan]

Munich re was only for DE position right?

Databricks call in 5 mins and I'm already dooming bcs I can't go to the US anyway

Why is everything only in the US ffs

[lapis tide]

why not

[timid tartan]

Not Canadian

Probability to get H1B is < 20%

[lapis tide]

🤣

become management

[lapis tide]

@lunar sandal berate this man for dooming with dbricks call

[timid tartan]

[weak gazelle]

are you international or PR

[timid tartan]

International

[weak gazelle]

yea then Canada is much safer but no jobs..

[night snow]

what country

I think some are harder for H1Bs

[marsh thorn]

Is there a Canadian location for Micorosft explore?

[night snow]

like China and India

[weak gazelle]

all are quite hard for H1B especially in the market right now

it' hard even for TN cuz why would companies take non-locals over locals

[lapis tide]

l1 is the way

[weak gazelle]

true

[night snow]

🫡

[timid tartan]

Indonesia

It's equally hard tbh

The probability is < 20% for everybody

[weak gazelle]

nah H1B is near impossible rn

[timid tartan]

Might be slightly easier to get the Green Card if that's what you mean

[weak gazelle]

the lottery system is stupid

[timid tartan]

Chinese and Indians have a much harder time to get the Green Card

[weak gazelle]

unless for a FAANG

[timid tartan]

Yea exactly

[marsh thorn]

the waitlist for Indians I hear is over 100 years

[weak gazelle]

but why would companies transfer you from canadian office to american office

[lapis tide]

to pay you more

[night snow]

Oh yeah I heard from my Chinese friend that even a travel Visa is lined up till 2025/2026

[honest tulip]

what january internships have people applied for that are still open?

[weak gazelle]

i see a lot of people do it from Indian offices to american offices

[honest tulip]

does anyone have a spreadsheet

[weak gazelle]

but canadian offices to american offices isn't as often

[marsh thorn]

Guys does anyone know if there is Microsoft Explore next summer in Canada?

because the ones I see are in the us

[night snow]

I believe there is Microsoft Garage in Vancouver but not explore

[real island]

Yo did a bunch of your guys Microsoft applications transfer today?

[marsh thorn]

wdym transfer?

the vancouver job got taken down

[barren sinew]

In my experience once you're in the states, companies consider you American. They're fine with sponsoring you to the American office even if they have a Canadian office

[vernal sigil]

Why do u have so many apps

[real island]

LMAOO I applied to every location

[marsh thorn]

the job posting got taken down

the one in vancouver did

[weak gazelle]

you mean worked for an american company/office?

[real island]

Ohhhh

Makes sense

[marsh thorn]

click on the info button

[vernal sigil]

Mine got transferred the day of interview invite

[marsh thorn]

What's INT SWE?

[barren sinew]

Yea once you live in the states full time companies don't think to move you to their Canada office.

[weak gazelle]

oh yea of course

[barren sinew]

Even if you need sponsorship

[real island]

🥺 don’t give me hope

[vernal sigil]

Intern

[marsh thorn]

you got an interview? Congrats!

[real island]

Wait the posting is still up for the one I got transferred today to for example https://jobs.careers.microsoft.com/global/en/job/1598557/Software-Engineering%3A-Intern-Opportunities-for-University-Students%2C-Bay-Area

[marsh thorn]

bruh

[real island]

Anyone else apply to this one?

[marsh thorn]

it says the job description is not available

I thought it was taken down

[real island]

I think it’s cuz you can’t apply to the int SWE one directly

[real island]

What time did you get interview invite?

[vernal sigil]

13:45

1 min ago

[real island]

Wait you got one today?

[vernal sigil]

No Friday

[real island]

Oh

[weak gazelle]

i think it auto transfers you

if you applly to a US posting

from canada

[real island]

The thing is I applied to this in August

And just transferred today

[vernal sigil]

No i tested with 2 friends and they didnt get transferred

[real island]

So idk what that means tbh

[vernal sigil]

?

[weak gazelle]

yea

[vernal sigil]

Ye

[weak gazelle]

it got auto transferref for me

oh wait

did your friends not apply to the canada posting

and only to the US one

it probably auto transfers you if you first apply to Canada posting and then the US

[vernal sigil]

One didnt and other one did

One applied to pm canada 1 month before and other one applied to canada swe 10 minutes before

[weak gazelle]

you got an interview for Vanc right?

[vernal sigil]

Yea

[weak gazelle]

and then you appliiked to the US one

and it got trasnferred

that's auto

[vernal sigil]

Yea

[weak gazelle]

that just means they know you're in canada, transferring to US for tje job posting

probably

but it is auto

[vernal sigil]

Then why @real island get transferred 1 month later

[weak gazelle]

they probably checked late

[vernal sigil]

And friends dont get transferred

[weak gazelle]

@real island

did you apply to canada firwt

first

[real island]

Did any of them apply to this one?

[real island]

Uhhh Idt

[vernal sigil]

No

[real island]

Canada came out later

[weak gazelle]

yea then probably they just figured

oh wait

yea

then

[timid tartan]

Oh shit Databricks sponsors H1B visa lmfao

[weak gazelle]

did they tell u that in the phone

[timid tartan]

Yes I asked

[fallen mason]

should u turn on your camera for a hr phone interview on google meet

[timid tartan]

Also they have Amsterdam office so if anything that would be an alternative as well

[hot rapids]

This is what mine looks like

Got transferred like within a week or two of applying

[weak gazelle]

see if you applied to the US posting first

[weak gazelle]

and then the Canada one

then it probalby takes soem time for the transfer

[real island]

Yo wtf North Dakota un rejected me

[weak gazelle]

if you applied for the Canda posting first and then US, its auto

[real island]

💀

[wooden lichen]

what does this mean?

[vernal sigil]

U gonna get interview

[wooden lichen]

We transferred your application to Explore Sophomore, Canada to US, September (1597584), and it's in review.

[weak gazelle]

did you also apply for a canada posting before

[wooden lichen]

[weak gazelle]

yea so that explains it

[wooden lichen]

oh okk

[weak gazelle]

[wooden lichen]

[real island]

[vernal sigil]

The remote one gets paid Canadian salary btw

That’s not an internship. It’s part time sde

U have to live close to the office

[fickle lotus]

ye gotta move to victoria

id be down for that if it was ft

[vernal sigil]

Victoria is the most boring town

[fickle lotus]

job > boring

[real island]

Bruh wtf 😭😭😭😭

[vernal sigil]

Ye apparently ppl last year accepted the internship offer with us salary and 1 month before starting Microsoft halfed the salary

[real island]

LMAOOOOO

nahhhh 😭😭😭😭😭

That’s just wrong

[worn trout]

i didn’t get transferred

[weak gazelle]

Did u apply to us posting first

[worn trout]

yup

[simple python]

i applied to US first and got transferred for both

same day as well so wouldnt it be auto @__@

[real island]

Transferring doesn’t depend on when you applied to Canada I’m pretty sure

[somber cedar]

anyone interview for ceridian?

[twilit sable]

anyone heard back from Capital One or IBM after the OA

[storm stream]

Not yet

[storm stream]

Photoshopped

[twilit sable]

O nice

I have two OA links for some reason too I can take it again and maybe they wont catch my ass

[eternal fossil]

yo fuck canada

[magic perch]

I heard someone was moved into interviews for IBM, they got 100 on OA

[eternal fossil]

this entire channel is banking on ibm and c1 to save them

theres no hope

only the cracked will get in

imagine new york channel talking about just 2 companies in the entire state to give them jobs

i hate canada fr fr

[magic perch]

I met with the c1 recruiter at a fair, they told me they'd flag my app, added on linkedin -> proceed to ghost me after lmao

[eternal fossil]

they all do that

just fillerbuster until you leave the table

[soft hamlet]

Interac don

don't have roles

[wooden lichen]

did you go to their booth lol

[soft hamlet]

they came to our school to literally say hey apply to intern in january

they gave me a cutlery set and a rubix cube

[wooden lichen]

yeah they said they;re not taking resumes either

[twilit sable]

I did get an OA for ontario power generations anyone got that

[eternal fossil]

cutlery set was so we can cut our wrists

[soft hamlet]

[eternal fossil]

rubix cube was so that after you cut your wrists, you wanna increase the bloodflow to your hands

so get solving

[worn moss]

any1 got any tips for wealthsimple interview?

[soft hamlet]

wiley edge came to our school too

[wooden lichen]

wtf even is that

[eternal fossil]

with their 55k a year jobs ???

[soft hamlet]

wiley

[real island]

Which 1?

[soft hamlet]

the textbook company

[wooden lichen]

best our school has to offer is lockheed martin

[worn moss]

software eng

[real island]

Nah I mean tech or presentation interview

[worn moss]

tech

[soft hamlet]

if you pass resume screen and behavioral you are given a job after 8 week training (all paid)

and you can leave at any time

[real island]

I heard you can find the q they use on Glassdoor

[soft hamlet]

tbh not a bad idea if you can't get anything after graduation

[eternal fossil]

ya for sure

thinking about going to fdm tbh

[soft hamlet]

they said you can hop at any time

[eternal fossil]

the 2 year lock out and 1 year ban from swe is shit tho

[soft hamlet]

they know that they have high turnover

[soft hamlet]

they said 60k starting

full remote

except for training

which they can offer some relocation to mtl

or toronto

[soft hamlet]

how can they enforce that

bruh

just don't work for fdm clients

wait are lockout clauses even legal in canada

[eternal fossil]

last i heard their policies were dog shit

[eternal fossil]

i mean

our employment laws are kinda dog shit

[soft hamlet]

better than the US

by a lot

[eternal fossil]

oh ya

[soft hamlet]

@eternal fossil at least in ontario it's not allowed

[eternal fossil]

does this person perhaps not realize it

holy shit lol 30k to break the contract

whaaaat the FUCK

[zinc knot]

a recruiter viewed my linkedin

[zinc knot]

Too bad the company is shit

[real island]

Anyone hear back from amplify after completing OA?

[soft hamlet]

ok that's normal

that's not illegal

you are a contractor for 2 years

locking you out of the industry after you leave is not legal

non competes are now illegal

[oblique crater]

contract breaking fees are illegal for at will employment im fairly certain

hire a lawyer for a few hundred bucks to send a strongly worded letter and they wouldn’t dare respond to you

[soft hamlet]

It's a contractor position likely

Which means it's allowed

[viscid swift]

hi sorry, canadian citizen applying to us internships, is anyone familiar with what visa options to pick?

[real island]

Is this for Amazon intern?

[viscid swift]

[real island]

Ngl they been rejecting all Canadians

Canada posting is out tho

[viscid swift]

yea alr applied

managed to snag a referral to us tho so just shooting my shot haha

[real island]

Seems right tho

Ahh okay

[viscid swift]

thanks man

also big fan of the profile picture

[wary tundra]

I told y'all, don't sleep on Tims. They pay their devs 100k+ and the app is 2nd most used after Amazon in Canada

[lapis tide]

they dont sponsor

[vernal sigil]

hes right amazon doesnt sponsor intern

[wary tundra]

when did databricks come out

[viscid swift]

[vernal sigil]

[viscid swift]

[acoustic agate]

yeah the company that does the tim hortons app dev is RBI (Restaurant Brands International)

[inner trench]

Wtf

[reef crest]

iirc, it was sone variation of the mars rover challenge

[simple python]

yo my amazon referral email finally came

only took them a week

[zinc knot]

Yep

Mine came too

I already filled my application out tho kekw

[hot rapids]

Just got a reminder email to finish app on Amazon uni

Oh everyone got haha

[zinc knot]

I got the referral mail

[magic perch]

There’s interesting tech work happening at any large organization. Pay may be less and and the work may not be cutting edge, but there’s lots happening.

[real island]

I didn’t get the email 🥲

How long it take yall to get the email?

[lapis tide]

your referrer lied to you

[viscid swift]

it took me like 3-4 days

from when he submitted it

[real island]

When was your referral submitted?

[wheat comet]

still didnt get mine

😔

[real island]

Same it’s gg

[zinc knot]

The next day

[viscid swift]

like friday/saturday

[zinc knot]

From when the app came out

[wheat comet]

i got screened by just the email

[real island]

Fr

Amazon don’t want me

[real island]

Canada or US?

[viscid swift]

both

[zinc knot]

Amazon want me fr

[viscid swift]

he referred me for both and i only got them today

[real island]

Ah okay mine was a bit later

I’ll wait a little longer 🥲

[viscid swift]

haha good luck!

[main grotto]

nah did you get interivew?

[somber cedar]

yes

[finite cloud]

Does anyone know any international students in Canada who got sponsored and interned at US?

[sour bison]

Plenty do. Internationals and domestic students in Canada get the same J1 visa to intern for a company in the US. The only difference is Canadian citizens don't need to do an interview with a consulate officer

[finite cloud]

Oh ok thanks. Do the big companies in US usually take it into consideration? I got an interview from a US company. Will being an international student put me in any disadvantages ?

[sour bison]

I mean they usually ask on the application if you require sponsorship

So if they proceeded with giving you an interview you should be fine

Is this worth taking

[eternal fossil]

yes

worth it

imo

comes in handy when youre a back end eng and you gotta set up load balancers or clusters etc etc

[tough knot]

I’m taking something similar next term, csc343

[night snow]

I took an undergrad distributed systems course and I really liked it too

useful stuff

[soft hamlet]

Carleton has a bunch of distributed systems stuff

OS, DB and lower level things

[night snow]

especially if you get asked systems design and scalability questions during interviews, it will come in handy

[soft hamlet]

I can either take the 4th year or the grad level

I'm already speedrunning my 3rd year courses in second year, I think it might be worth doing a couple grad courses even tho I won't do a master's

[soft hamlet]

I do want to specialize in infrastructure

So I guess it will help me there

[soft hamlet]

We have 3xxx, 4xxx and 5xxx distributed things

[soft hamlet]

Oh your csc343 is similar to my 3xxx, 343 is not distributed though

[tough knot]

Oh Okok

[eternal fossil]

grad level math courses are good

take em if you can

youll meet cool people

[shy scaffold]

not true

know canadians who are in the process

[soft hamlet]

I suck at math

There is a set of stochastic courses tho

First Carleton quant ⁉️
