[timid tartan]

You never know until you try

And tbh you prob won't stay for the entire event's duration

I usually just stay for like 2-3 hrs and then that's it

Maybe 2 hrs this time is more than enough

[lunar sandal]

2 hours?

I think 1 hr is enough

unless free food

[timid tartan]

Well

There's a thing called queueing sir

🙂

[lunar sandal]

Idt any queue at 10 am

( please prove me right )

[timid tartan]

Oh you'll be surprised

LMAO

[timid tartan]

Hint: you're very very wrong

People usually start queuing like 30-40 mins before lmfao

Man, 10 am is super late loool

If the event started at 6 am or something then yea it would have been an entirely different story

[lunar sandal]

Fine 9 am then

[timid tartan]

Still not early

[eternal fossil]

[quartz ridge]

would you guys take a big tech company for 130 TC or a startup for 140 TC?

new grad

[lapis tide]

What are the parts of the tc

[teal remnant]

More base is always safer

[quartz ridge]

About 100 base for both

[zinc knot]

Depends, how good is the team at big tech + is the startup well known?

[weak gazelle]

big company

any day lol

big tech company*

it literally probably doubles your potential future salary

[real island]

Big tech

[fluid flare]

Does anyone know if wealthsimple let you move offers. Like moving winter offer to fall or summer

[stable ravine]

startup if you like risk; high risk high reward

if it becomes unicorn; you'll be a millionaire in no time

if you get stocks*

[real island]

I heard of someone doing that before in here

Give it a try

[dark wren]

@fluid flare did u have the technical round?

[faint echo]

wheres the best place to find startups to apply to? linkedin?

[fickle juniper]

How does the tc breakdown

Also it depends on the startup/big tech company

[vernal sigil]

when ur msft interview?

[real island]

Never got one 😢

[weak gazelle]

Name 2 startups you’d take over a big tech at that TC

[real island]

Complete your PLUM Profile here and save as screenshot.
Complete a short one-way video interview here.
Apply to the role and when the application asks for your resume, instead upload the screenshot of your PLUM Profile and the most recent version of your transcript.
To be considered for student opportunities at Scotiabank, Tangerine, and MD Financial you must complete all steps above.

lol

I heard sociabank isn’t good to work at anyways for tech roles

[fickle lotus]

A job's a job

[teal remnant]

Plum profile

[real island]

They don’t even look at resume 💀

Tells you enough

[magic perch]

How’s the YNCN career fair going this year?

[quartz ridge]

Scotiabank velocity program

lets go

thats big

[fickle lotus]

It tells me Plum is the future

[quartz ridge]

anyeon else

[fickle lotus]

I applied to their position that didn't require Plum, just resume

[quartz ridge]

rlly love winter

i love winter season

[fickle lotus]

If it snows a reasonable amount ye

Too much and I spend my whole day shovelling the driveway

[old egret]

is that real?

[weak gazelle]

people

[simple python]

same question

[weak gazelle]

satya narayana nadella is ceo of microsoft

so yes that coudl be real if that's his email

he could technically be considered a recruiter

💀

[old egret]

bruah 🤣🤣

[simple python]

nestle 1 way?

[wheat comet]

is ibm auto oa

[simple python]

just standard hirevue stuff 💀 (why nestle, tell me xyz conflict with the team, difficult choice etc)

[wheat comet]

also if i get 4 OAs for ibm do i hve to all 4

[simple python]

and brain teaser games + choose 100 adjectives about urself

[dapper thorn]

Pretty sure they’re auto as I usually get them pretty fast after applying, depends on the role, probably safe to do so cuz one time I got SQL shit for one of mine and it was like way different than the others I got

[dapper thorn]

This is what you get for ibm OA?

[odd nest]

Probably is lol or maybe [e-mail]

But ceos accounts are monitored by infosec and don’t usually accept emails from outside

[simple python]

no lmao its nestle 1 way

[dapper thorn]

Oh lol I thought you were talking about ibm mb

[old egret]

really? l was gonna apply but then ur filtered by ai with the video u send in

intern

[real island]

Wait huh fr? They use AI?

I mean obvs still apply since the market is terrible rn but if you get other offers consider them over scotia

[old egret]

yeah man ur being judge by ai whether ur a suitable candidate as if ai knows anytin about that

[simple python]

😰

[old egret]

ya l dont normally do those

[real island]

😭😭😭😭 bruh fuck that

[simple python]

do i reapply just laughing the whole time

[real island]

💀💀💀💀💀💀💀

[old egret]

exactly

[simple python]

then i’ll be flagged by scotia as a positive person

[real island]

What if I just stare into the camera the whole time

[simple python]

💀

[real island]

Lowkey might do that for the troll

💀

[zinc knot]

ok like

[old egret]

yeah they track ur eye movement n stuff

idk u need to be robotic like l gurss to get through thtas my best guess

no fr

[zinc knot]

if i reach out to a recruiter (i have her email she mailed for a fall thingy but i never got an interview)

I 100% their OA, if i ask her for summer roles and when they’re opening, would it help with anything?

[real island]

I don’t think they manually review those video interviews tbh

[old egret]

let me fetch the article l swear

[real island]

Doesn’t hurt to try

💀

Bro that’s the thing if they accepted resume I woulda applied but like cmon

[simple python]

maybe they use ai to parse plum profile

[real island]

How you not gonna review resumes 💀

[real island]

😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭

[odd nest]

Video???

[simple python]

💀

[real island]

💀💀💀💀

[old egret]

whats the video app called that u used for the plum interview?

[odd nest]

wtf why is Scotia asking for a video

[real island]

Hmmm let me check my email I did it last year

[odd nest]

They aren’t even a tech company asking for so much

[old egret]

Because HireVue uses AI technology in our products, we actively work to prevent the introduction or propagation of bias against any group or individual. We will continue to carefully review the datasets we use in our work and ensure that they are as accurate and diverse as possible

hirevue uses it

l think it was hirevue

https://www.washingtonpost.com/technology/2019/10/22/ai-hiring-face-scanning-algorithm-increasingly-decides-whether-you-deserve-job/

[odd nest]

All that just to work on azure data pipelines 😔

[real island]

I think rivs?

[old egret]

they just want to feed data to their algo n have dataset for their hirevue n sell the product

they dont really want interns

they want datasets

its rigged 🪢

[old egret]

lm pretty sure they use it too

[fallen mason]

where are u guys applying to

i'm barely getting any interviews

[real island]

I got responses from Dropbox(rej after oa), tiktok(rej after oa), stripe(gonna do OA), amplify(oa done waiting for res), and yeah that’s it

[odd nest]

Might extend my current next fall.
But I’m trying to get either palantir, meta or rivian this time

[lapis tide]

Imagine getting dropbox oa

[lapis tide]

Imagine getting stripe oa

[fallen mason]

damn

[fallen mason]

i got dropbox oa, failed that, tiktok oa, didn't even try, and that's pretty much it

[fallen mason]

i thought dropbox was auto?

[lapis tide]

Haha

If it were auto I’d know

[fallen mason]

shit

i did it when i was just getting started with leetcode

thinking i'd never pass the resume screen

[random raft]

Did anyone get reach out by recruiter at Radix Trading today for phone chat, maybe @echo latch . How to cop offer?

[raw ocean]

for canadians, is there a cooldown for j1 visa?

[echo latch]

There’s no cooldown period for J-1 visas

You can keep getting them indefinitely

[random raft]

NG

[echo latch]

I haven’t done final yet

[random raft]

[echo latch]

I don’t see why not

[random raft]

wtf already in process

Orz

[echo latch]

I’ve been in the process a while now

[random raft]

you will cop offer

[echo latch]

you 2

[random raft]

doomed for me

I'm not even cs/ce major

[echo latch]

You can j ask the qs here there are plenty of people here who’ve gotten a J-1 visa in probably every situation you can think of

[echo latch]

Getting reached out to by radix is crazy tho

Trading firms don’t care about major usually as long as it’s stem

I had to apply

[random raft]

I think I applied a few years ago and they ghosted me back then. Maybe I was in the system or something

[random raft]

Wait true,

I’ve been name dropping the other firms I’m in processes w and they all jump to wanna interview me the same day

[random raft]

Lmao

[tight gale]

[lunar sandal]

Convinced that

This channel is a basement

Career fair was so chill

nice fear mongering with the timings bro.. I came at 11 @timid tartan

And got to talk to everyone I wanted

and I saw maybe 3 companies at least hiring exclusively new grad

no co op

[teal remnant]

Hello fiend

Did you meet rbc

[lunar sandal]

no there’s no point handing ur resumes to big companies

they will toss the paper bro

[timid tartan]

?

[lunar sandal]

u heard me

[teal remnant]

Gud I saw my paper getting tossed by rbc

[timid tartan]

Wdym fear mongering lmao it was crowded at 10 am

[lunar sandal]

I came at 11

It was chill

[timid tartan]

Ya that’s 11 not 10

[lunar sandal]

Not a sweat shop

yeah earlier was worse then

[teal remnant]

How did you find it @timid tartan

[timid tartan]

Maybe lol

[teal remnant]

Imma open a startup and hire you guys

[timid tartan]

Yeah barely anything for exclusively new grad but some recruiters told me to go straight to generic SWE I roles bcs I have multiple years of internship exp

So try those

[lunar sandal]

A few

[timid tartan]

So so lmao

Kinda lol well I only got two important things out of this career fair

[teal remnant]

All I get is apply online

[timid tartan]

1. Look for generic SWE I roles if you have plenty of exp (more than 2 internships at least). Ceridian, Fidelity Investments, and some other companies’ recruiters said pretty much this

2. I asked a Squarepoint SWE to roast my resume lmfao

[teal remnant]

I did that with Konrad

Bro actually roasted

[timid tartan]

Yea idk he went through my resume with basically no feedback

I was confused

All he said “Yeah it’s good, I like blablabla”

The only thing that caught his attention was Coinbase lmfao

[timid tartan]

I’d rather get an actual roast

[old egret]

anyone applied to tesla?

or heard back?

[timid tartan]

Internship or NG?

[old egret]

intern

[timid tartan]

Must be internship I guess

Fml

[timid tartan]

Supposedly yeah

Damn

I haven’t even applied fml

[real island]

Got rejected for one role rest ghosted

Applied with referral too

[stable ravine]

ng?

[real island]

💀💀💀💀

[stable ravine]

bruhh none of the company is either sending me a reject or email for next stage

[real island]

Bro said bet

[stable ravine]

fml

[stable ravine]

ig they threw my resume and didn't even bother to notify me

[old egret]

yeah ghosting me 2

[weak gazelle]

Nah

I got their OA but I didn’t take it

For squarepoint

[old egret]

is that a well known company?

[weak gazelle]

and I’m based in Toronto

They pay like 50/hr for intern

Probably should have done their OA

Actually I was going to

Last day was sept 26th

And then at like 2am on sept 26th they send me this :

Intern

They should have Atleast waited till end of day sept 26th

[echo latch]

it’s decent
squarepoint and drw are some of the only quant firms w an ok Canadian presence

[weak gazelle]

Atleast they pay well

their new grad gotta be Atleast 150k

speculation

[old egret]

oh its quant so like data scientists

[weak gazelle]

they like C++

[echo latch]

It’s like 110k or a lil lower something like that

[weak gazelle]

that’s still good for mtl

[echo latch]

Not necessarily, they have lots of swe as well

The real money makers are the quant researchers and traders tho yes

Lots of low-latency and performant C++, and Python for infra

I think they use Julia too idr

[real island]

I saw lots of people get rejected so maybe they just waiting or they ghosted us lol let’s see

[weak gazelle]

fuck now I feel bad for not giving sqpoint earlier

[old egret]

l saw like on summer intern channel ppl in final maybe its us

ghosting is worst ld rather have a rejection at least l know

[real island]

That’s for spring

All those mfs using the summer channel for spring

[stable ravine]

[weak gazelle]

[normal jetty]

65k ?

[weak gazelle]

90k wouljd be true if firefox was like google chrome
and sold ur data to adverstisers

but mozilla knows better than that

[worldly ridge]

65 million

[timid tartan]

500k Zimbabwe dollar maybe

[timid tartan]

That's still 1.8k CAD, which is more than what I'm making

[echo latch]

Yall are cracked

[worldly ridge]

Mine went there

[reef niche]

unfortunately wasn't in junk too

[real island]

Double check that you also completed it the 2nd time when it moved to university portal

[reef niche]

yes

i had to complete twice

[real island]

When was your referral submitted?

[hot rapids]

make sure you submit on both amazon.jobs and amazon university

[real island]

There’s a wave after this

[reef niche]

one in amazon.jobs (showing please complete application)
while nothing pop up in amazon university portal

so i had to complete the app in amazon.jobs
and submit a new application in university portal
@real island

[real island]

It moved to only university portal

[hot rapids]

have you ever made duplicate accounts in the past?

[echo latch]

Amazon has barely sorted out new grad return offers for 2023 starters let alone 2024 starters

It will be a while until they release external new grad if they come out at all

[echo latch]

Amazon merges duplicate accounts

It’s a leetcode medium

[real island]

Hmm when you say complete new application in university portal wym?

[hot rapids]

yeah they merge, hence maybe why his amazon uni portal isnt updating after he submitted from amazon jobs

[echo latch]

fwiw when I applied back in 2021 I only applied on amazon jobs but it should show up in both? Idr tho

Maybe I applied on the uni portal

[hot rapids]

it should auto show up on amazon uni after referral

[echo latch]

But I remember only applying to one

[reef niche]

but why mine isn't showing up on amazon uni but only amazon.jobs

[oblique crater]

that amazon referral isn’t doing a whole lot

[echo latch]

Offer showed up on uni dashboard iirc

[echo latch]

I wouldn’t worry about this

[real island]

This year I completed app on Amazon.jobs, then earlier this week Amazon.jobs said to go to university portal

[raven sphinx]

bruh is it supposed to look lik ethis

[real island]

Yes

[raven sphinx]

yeah i got this too, on university portal it looks like this

[real island]

Yuppp

[raven sphinx]

I had to do it again bc it didnt submit for some reason

[echo latch]

It goes back to saying “application submitted” even after you get offer lol

[raven sphinx]

LMFAO

[reef niche]

mine is very weird.
LEFT is amazon.jobs which was the first submission on 18 Sept
RIGHT is amazon university second submission on 20 sept

[raven sphinx]

dogshit company

[reef niche]

i dont know what happened to referral...

[real island]

Wait mine says view application

[hot rapids]

honestly its chill, referral wont do much

as long as its submitted

you shouldnt worry

[echo latch]

Referrals don’t mean much unless it’s like staff+ lol

[raven sphinx]

waht the FUCK

when i click it lmao

[real island]

What I did was click application and then logged in and completed it

[real island]

😭😭😭😭

Mine takes me to log in page

This what I see rn

[raven sphinx]

yea i get login page but then after that i get 500

after i log in

[echo latch]

lemme long in and see what it said for my old ones

[hot rapids]

isn't one of their LPs "we only hire the best". If you're the best, why do you need a referral 😤

[real island]

Oh what let me try logging in

[raven sphinx]

there is a good chance my app got tossed into some virtual blackhole

[real island]

Mine works when I log in

[real island]

😭😭😭😭😭😭

[raven sphinx]

man

does it have to say submitted on both

[real island]

Hmmm not too sure but I think university portal is the main one?

So I tbink you’re good

[raven sphinx]

aight good

yeah I submitted twice on university portal

[hot rapids]

wait I think Ryan had issues last year where he didn't submit on one, and he didnt get OA

[raven sphinx]

bruh fuck

[real island]

Wait wym twice?

[hot rapids]

You should email the amazon uni staff and get it fixed

[real island]

I only did once

[echo latch]

"current applications"

[real island]

That status 🥺

[raven sphinx]

I submitted on amazon uni once and then when i checked 2 days later it said applicartion incomplete

so i had to submit again lmao

[real island]

Ohhh

[echo latch]

yall will get it dw

[real island]

You applied with referral?

[raven sphinx]

yep

[echo latch]

just do like top 20 tagged and b75

[raven sphinx]

aight will do mayn

[real island]

🥺🙏

2 months to grind

Let’s get it

[raven sphinx]

@hot rapids do uk if it was amazon uni or jobs

that said he didnt submit

[hot rapids]

maybe just ping him and ask, I don't wanna speculate which one

[echo latch]

also idk if this is still the case but if you see this status after your interview that means you passed and you're getting the offer

at least, this used to be the case

[hot rapids]

I remember this cuz Goku gate got that LOL

[real island]

🥺

[echo latch]

yo how do you know goku

dang you an og i see

[reef niche]

WHY isn't my application linking....

[real island]

You graduated now?

[hot rapids]

I was just around lurking when goku was going through that

[echo latch]

unhinged, but he did end up getting amzn iirc

[real island]

I think the merge messed something up

[hot rapids]

cscd lore

[reef niche]

should i contact amazon for this?

[raven sphinx]

fucj good chance i might never get OA

[echo latch]

will graduate next year

[real island]

If you can I would

[reef niche]

i cant find the contact...

[raven sphinx]

^^

same

[real island]

Hmmmm

[raven sphinx]

LMAO

[echo latch]

he was p chaotic in the amzn server too

[hot rapids]

I have email, Dm me

[real island]

I feel like there should be one somewhere,,, unless there isn’t a general one

[reef niche]

is it this email?

[real island]

That might be not reply, but I’d say dm Melona

[hot rapids]

they responded pretty quick for me last time with that email address

within 24h

[raven sphinx]

Alright i emailed them

ty

[real island]

Ahh nice nice you interned at any other places after Amazon?

[echo latch]

2 other faang

[real island]

Damnnn niceeeee

[vernal sigil]

Zon not hiring

[lapis tide]

messi dont say "zon not hiring" first thing in the morning challenge

[vernal sigil]

https://tenor.com/view/thanos-impossible-marvel-shocked-gif-15104180

[hot rapids]

Splunk pays $24?? That’s crazy

[teal remnant]

Is it usd?

[tawny raptor]

Its just wrong lol

Idk where that guy gets his numbers from

[vernal sigil]

He keeps making those posts but he doesnt understand that levels is in usd even for canada

[turbid island]

but when ppl input their salary they just put whats on their paper no

does it auto convert or smth

[vernal sigil]

It tells u to put it in usd

[turbid island]

oh

[vernal sigil]

🇨🇦

[echo latch]

splunk's salary depends on the number of internships you've done

i wouldn't be surprised if 24/hour is for someone doing their first coop

[tawny raptor]

Its not

https://www.splunk.com/en_us/careers/jobs/software-engineer-coop-frontend-28167.html

For example

Says base is 37

Hm actually it does say assuming 3y of uni

Idk then maybe

But I’ve never heard of that low

[echo latch]

it is according to the dozens of loo kids that they hire

it's listed as 22-44/hour depending on experience

[tawny raptor]

i mean it is dependant but low is prob not 24

hmm

[oblique crater]

150km really just doubles your salary

[acoustic agate]

do u guys think meta gonna drop internships?

[worldly ridge]

i love ur discord

[acoustic agate]

tyy

[fickle juniper]

If ur in the west coast, might be like 10km

[lapis tide]

Delta to point roberts

[barren sinew]

Work remotely across an unfenced street in Surrey and you make double

[fickle juniper]

Point Robert's was a revelation to me fr

[barren sinew]

They should just give it up to Canada

Although I saw a new segment on it how the residents are bitterly divided over that. Some homeowners know becoming part of Canada would skyrocket their property values so are happy with it. And some want it to be a quiet beach town due to its isolation

[hot rapids]

Point Robert’s gotta have bad wifi tho 💀

[fickle juniper]

Idk how it works, but is it even up to the residents 😅

I assume a transaction like that would involve the federal governments

And WA and BC

Seems extremely complicated

[barren sinew]

Yea probably not but there were camps lobbying for either side anyways

[fickle juniper]

Man I'd definitely get some property there if I knew it was going to switch to Canada in the next 10 yrs

Thats some premium property

[oblique crater]

dude holy shit I can’t believe this just looked it up

[fickle juniper]

Point Roberts?

Idk if you know John Tortorella, ex Canucks head coach

He lived there while coaching the nucks

[storm stream]

Now look up how kids in Point Roberts went to school during COVID

It's hilarious

Normally they do four border crossings every day just to go to school

[weak gazelle]

no

that’s minimum

Still imagine having 42 as minimum in the US

[hot rapids]

Someone told me point Robert’s was for witness protection ppl lmao

[weak gazelle]

[paper ether]

Has anyone got amazon OA

[tawny zephyr]

thats crazy

[paper ether]

canadian salaries are so booty

[tawny zephyr]

ong

cohere pays p solid

for canada

[paper ether]

what do they pay

[tawny zephyr]

they gave me 28 base

and benefits

[paper ether]

oh nice

i got the same at Kinaxis

[tawny zephyr]

which equates to like 32 / hour

[weak gazelle]

guys not the companies fault that you aren’t American lol

[tawny zephyr]

sick

[weak gazelle]

[paper ether]

frr

[tawny zephyr]

[weak gazelle]

They’re just tryna get some cheap labour out of their Canadian offices

which has the same talent as their American offices

If not better

Per capita

[paper ether]

bad country

[weak gazelle]

US or Canada

It’s not Canada’s fault

[tawny zephyr]

canada

[weak gazelle]

That American companies are doing this

why is it the country’s fault lol

[tawny zephyr]

not talking about salaries

talking about

[weak gazelle]

And the Canadian companies are just pricing to market

[tawny zephyr]

the country as a whole

[weak gazelle]

Least out of touch first world country resident

[tawny zephyr]

im not even talking about salaries

gov cant do anything

its just companies as a whole doing it

[weak gazelle]

Which is why I said this

Canada better off than 95 percent of the world

[paper ether]

I feel like in the next 10 years intern salaries will catch up

[tawny zephyr]

ehh healthcare is free but bad

[paper ether]

too late for us

[tawny zephyr]

cost of living is bad

[paper ether]

^^^

[tawny zephyr]

salaries are bad even tho not govs fault

lack of jobs

[paper ether]

not enough houses

[tawny zephyr]

systems are slow

[paper ether]

lack of jobs

[weak gazelle]

Lack of jobs is because of the market

You really wanna see a lack of jobs in general, go to a small country in Eastern Europe with double the population of Canada

Not double

With a similar population

Or Mexico

Or anywhere in South America

[tawny zephyr]

i get your point

just cuz its worse out there

doesnt mean it isnt bad here

[weak gazelle]

Or china/india

[paper ether]

yeah but their cost of living is a lot lower

[tawny zephyr]

have u seen the jobs in india

they’re super good

in IT

[paper ether]

like it's impossible

[tawny zephyr]

compared to cost of living

[hot rapids]

Feel like the pay ain’t a big deal when you got cohere on resume as a freshman haha

[weak gazelle]

In what way

[tawny zephyr]

i got it as a high schooler 😳

[paper ether]

Cohere as a freshman is crazy

[weak gazelle]

Of course I have seen the jobs in India
They pay like 5k USD a year on average, in IT

[tawny zephyr]

compare to cost of living

[weak gazelle]

I’m quite sure the cost of living isn’t 15 times lower than the US

lol

[tawny zephyr]

depends on where u are

if ur in tech hub Bangalore its higher pay but higher cost of living

[weak gazelle]

also if you’re living in the relatively expensive parts of India

Like Delhi or Mumbai

lol houses in Mumbai go well over a million dollars

[tawny zephyr]

yeah

its crazy

the reason they do is cuz theres money there

[weak gazelle]

Yea sure but do you know the competition there

[tawny zephyr]

yep

competition everywhere

[weak gazelle]

There are like a 100,000 devs willing to replace you

[tawny zephyr]

might be more intense in india

[weak gazelle]

a lot more intense lmaoo

[tawny zephyr]

it is more intense in india*

[weak gazelle]

Delhi has a population of Canada

Close to

[paper ether]

is swe quality in india similar to canada

[weak gazelle]

technically depends on what you define as Delhi

[weak gazelle]

On average, no

cuz of education and the average engineering university not being close to as good as the average engineering university in Canada

And the best talent drains to the US

[paper ether]

Yeah that makes sense

[weak gazelle]

But that’s not just an India problem

everyone does that

[paper ether]

Its like everywhere i guess

i think canada is the only place where they dont just drain

a lot of them still go

but like not all top engineers will go to the us

[weak gazelle]

Yes cuz the US has immigration problems

so you would see a lot of top engineers coming here

[paper ether]

but it's even easier for us because of TN

[weak gazelle]

Wait no I think

You just contradicted yourself

cuz of TN there’s even more brain drain

[paper ether]

it's easier but I think it happens less

than other countries

like compared to how easy it is

and a lot of people just come back after 5-10 years anyways

[tawny zephyr]

immigration is no longer easy in canada

[weak gazelle]

as a fraction of the population of tech workers? Absolutely not

[tawny zephyr]

relatively to the US yes

look at the ee scores

[weak gazelle]

But wages in tech are increasing in Canada

And because of even shitier US immigration

I think it’s good for Canada in the long run

More top talent would come here instead of the US

And so more US companies would open offices here

And drive wages up

[paper ether]

sure as a fraction, but if we're comparing the amount of engineering talent. On average Canada is one of the most talented SWE countries in the world. Less top engineers leave to the US than other top engineers in other countries, and a lot of the time they will come back to canada after a few years

[weak gazelle]

Yes that does make sense cuz

The top engineers here end up making a lot

[paper ether]

yeah but not nearly as much in the US

like top engineers in the US can make like 500k EASY after a few years

not so easy in canada

and when we transfer that to CAD it's like 700k

you dont see many people here making 700k

[weak gazelle]

any people

[tight gale]

Top engineers can transfer to the US easy too

[paper ether]

yeah im saying it's easy but it just happens less comparatively

to how easy adn the amount of top talent

[weak gazelle]

Wait wdym

[drifting shore]

thats true for every job (not 500k but in terms of income)

[storm stream]

who wouldn't

[paper ether]

that's kind of my point @weak gazelle a lot of them would go to the US in an instant, and for canadians less people make that choice, and if they do, a lot of them come back.

[weak gazelle]

Hopefully in the future they don’t
We need top talent here for the wages to get up there
And vice versa lol

[weak gazelle]

Yea I realized

[paper ether]

like this is anecdotal, but i've met a a fair amount of people who were seniors in the us and just came back to canada after a couple years

so there's obviously something here that people want

i just don't know what it is

LOL

[storm stream]

that's the strat

make your money, secure remote, and return to the motherland

[weak gazelle]

Make remote US salary in Canada

Easy

[paper ether]

not even remote tho

[weak gazelle]

Yea that’s probably what u mean

lol

[paper ether]

they work at canadian companies

[weak gazelle]

like

like what

[paper ether]

like one of my profs, phd at cornell, head of comp department at oberlin college, senior at google, comes back to teach at my uni

[weak gazelle]

Wealthsimple

[paper ether]

and a boss of mine at work

Kinaxis

he did SWE at microsoft

[tawny zephyr]

not a lot of people are willing to pay high tax

[paper ether]

came back to work in Canada

[tawny zephyr]

1st chance they get they're off to the US

[paper ether]

When you compare California taxes and our taxes, they're not that different

[tawny zephyr]

but thats california

good weather

a lot to do around here

[paper ether]

ur lying

LOL

this place fuckin sucks

[tawny zephyr]

I heard ottawa is the most boring city

[paper ether]

"the city that fun forgot" "the biggest small town in the world"

that's what people call ottawa

bro

HAHA

garbage transit, garbage night life, garbage activities

it's only good if you like nature

there's a lot of it for a big city

[tawny zephyr]

facts

[paper ether]

Ottawa is one of the largest cities by area in North America

[weak gazelle]

Do not talk about the Canadian capital like that 😠

[paper ether]

its just too big

[weak gazelle]

Ottawa >>>

[tawny zephyr]

when I went to ottawa

I saw like 10 homeless

[paper ether]

man please don't persuade people to come here

[tawny zephyr]

jump a woman

it was crazy

I wish I could do smth to help

but 1 of me

[paper ether]

yeah like this place sucks

[weak gazelle]

I will reply to you angrily

[paper ether]

don't come

[tawny zephyr]

I think u can make canada work

cheap(er) education

thats why I am considering canada

for post-secondary

[paper ether]

it's pretty decent for internships, because no one wants to live here

[tawny zephyr]

good quality + cheap

but US for everything else

[vernal sigil]

What internships

[tawny zephyr]

I am applying for universities right now

[paper ether]

Nokia, Cisco, Ciena, etc

[tawny zephyr]

Nokia

[paper ether]

I mean pay-wise

[tawny zephyr]

how much they paid

like

19?

[paper ether]

way more

[vernal sigil]

Nokia application takes way too long to do

Ciena trash

[paper ether]

most people i know getting like 25-35

[tawny zephyr]

25 - 35 for canada is good

[paper ether]

35 is on the higher side obv

[tawny zephyr]

but in reality

its p trash (I am just hating I got rejected)

[paper ether]

but ik some people getting 40

[weak gazelle]

If I tell my dad I’m working for Nokia he will most likely disown me

[paper ether]

most people getting 25-30 on their second internships

[weak gazelle]

[paper ether]

LMFAO

[tawny zephyr]

why

[paper ether]

Blackberry QNX if u consider that decent too

[weak gazelle]

just saying

[paper ether]

Ford is here as well
