https://www.barrons.com/news/homelessness-explodes-in-canada-as-rents-housing-prices-soar-ff5daf9c

235,000 homeless people using shelters in Canada. Real number is much higher, and will continue to climb

Who thinks we could see 1 million homeless by 2025?

If immigration continues like this, I think its possible

[echo latch]

Aren’t you a 2026 or something

[soft hamlet]

2026 if I do 4 years, 2027 with co-op (4 work terms to graduate)

but yeeeee

I worked at a startup and they taught me a lot

[vernal sigil]

mcdonalds pays more

[soft hamlet]

wtf

the store salespeople make more money

and they make comission

[soft hamlet]

[soft hamlet]

L

[vernal sigil]

they can just give the merch to all the homeless ppl and test it for free

[soft hamlet]

yes

[vernal sigil]

even this one is better. idk where it is but its probably lcol and still $20 vs $19 in vancouver

zon not hiring

thas L5

[soft hamlet]

TAXI acronym is a crazy reach wtf

[vernal sigil]

they never stop hiring L5+

[soft hamlet]

yeah that one is lcol

yes

you can get runway model jackets for like 70% off

you can buy like 3k worth of jackets and resell for a couple thousand more

[vernal sigil]

can u pay ur rent in arcteryx jackets

[soft hamlet]

it's really hard to work in retail

probably harder than getting that swe position

LOL

600 is still more than I would pay for a jacket

[vernal sigil]

how u live in the winter

[soft hamlet]

I have a pretty shit but warm jacket for $100

looks mid af but it does its job

yeah

I'm tryna buy some chelsea boots

done

done

gonna take like 5 years

[vernal sigil]

if youre tryna buy something in <5 years u shouldnt buy index funds

and use fhsa not tfsa

[soft hamlet]

I maxed both

I'm 18 so it's relatively easy

[worldly ridge]

i hope thye increase FHSA room 😦

[vernal sigil]

6.5k

[worldly ridge]

40k

8k per year

for 5 years

[vernal sigil]

u should stop putting money in fhsa until u have a ft job

[worldly ridge]

yeah :l

[vernal sigil]

youre wasting your tax deductions

[soft hamlet]

[worldly ridge]

i agree with messsi

[soft hamlet]

but I need tax deduction, income high

[vernal sigil]

how much

[worldly ridge]

oh nevermind

🙂

[soft hamlet]

well not super high

but like about a ft job

[vernal sigil]

theres ft jobs that pay 30 and ft jobs that pay 300

[soft hamlet]

like a new grad position at a mid company

[vernal sigil]

if u get 30 u dont put money in ur fhsa

[soft hamlet]

I get more

[astral isle]

Why?

[tawny raptor]

I actually get that rn lol

[soft hamlet]

fhsa is made for home owner

[vernal sigil]

cause tax deductions + no tax on gains

[soft hamlet]

wanna gimme a jacket for 50% off

[tawny raptor]

Climbing gym employees get half off arcteryx

[astral isle]

Same with tfsa no?

[vernal sigil]

tfsa is only no tax on gains

fhsa whatever money u put in, u dont pay taxes on

[soft hamlet]

fhsa rolls into rrsp :>

[vernal sigil]

so if your marginal rate is 50% and u put 5k, u saved 2.5k

[astral isle]

Even when you take it out??

That’s pretty dope

[soft hamlet]

fhsa I need more room

[vernal sigil]

yea but u gotta use it for a down payment

[soft hamlet]

[tawny raptor]

Fhsa is good if you stay in canada

It gets taxed if you go to America

[soft hamlet]

tis a nice side job thing that I'm doin

🤣

I want solace

I got referral for solace next term, waiting for email back from recruiter

we might be workin together

if I get job

which is already massive copium

[worldly ridge]

u can liquidate it

[soft hamlet]

sure

[worldly ridge]

just put it in FHSA now and then liquidate when u move

[soft hamlet]

works for me

I mean I literally just sent my resume to a current intern, their team is desperately trying to find interns

I don't even know what the position is

I think it's java sprint boot

what tech stack are you using

[raw ocean]

what happens with your tfsa if you move out of canada

[soft hamlet]

you liquidate

and pay taxes in the US

I want this

[vernal sigil]

According to the Canada Revenue Agency, if you hold a Tax-Free Savings Account (TFSA) when you leave Canada, you can keep it and continue to benefit from the exemption from Canadian tax on investment income and withdrawals. However, you cannot contribute to your TFSA while you are a non-resident of Canada, and your contribution room will not increase. If you receive certain types of income from Canada after you leave, the Canadian payer has to withhold non-resident tax on the income and send it to the CRA. The tax withheld is usually your final tax obligation to Canada on the income. However, you could benefit from choosing to elect under section 217 to include this income on your return

[worldly ridge]

it will be taxed

if u move to U.S

like TFSA; dats why u need to liquidate it

[soft hamlet]

second year winter job tryna follow a copium version of waterloo

[tawny raptor]

IRS will tax it

[worldly ridge]

RRSP is only taxed on certain states though

like new jer sey

[vernal sigil]

U dont have to liquidate. U can keep ur tfsa even if you dont live in canada anymore. Its just if u become a US citizen u have to pay taxes for whatever u withdraw from the TFSA

Tbf tho Google’s second largest campus apparently is the Waterloo one

[echo latch]

Still waiting

[weak gazelle]

one of my senior software engineer friends at google sunnyvale got transfered to toronto

[weak gazelle]

cuz immigration issues as international in the US

[echo latch]

Google Toronto barely has any engineers or at least any entry level ones

Waterloo is by far their largest engineering office in Canada

[weak gazelle]

i'm not sure if he's in toronto actually, possibly waterloo

[echo latch]

Yeah msft does that too

Good system they have for h1-B randomness

[weak gazelle]

would that be a 50 percent pay cut

sure COL is lower

[echo latch]

cali is considered VHCOL according to Google

[urban ore]

Toronto has Deepmind

[echo latch]

Ng tc not negotiated for that is 220k usd which is 300k cad
Ng tc not negotiated for google Canada is 160k iirc

So yes about a 50% pay cut for entry-level but I’m sure senior isn’t that bad even in Canada

[weak gazelle]

oh yea

easy 300k

[echo latch]

I thought they’d be in Montreal

When people ask me what my major and school is, I'm hesitant to say. It's probably rare for them to be graced with the presence of a student at the top cs/ engineering school in Toronto, the MIT of the north. Especially a software engineering major, the most prestigious program at said school. I feel a bit guilty, as meeting someone so much more accomplished, yet their same age, probably crushes their self image.

How do you guys go about avoiding the question, or what other major do you usually say?

You can look thru ppls stories here

[stone osprey]

Thanks

[dapper thorn]

But basically it counts as needing sponsor, but some ppl lie on their apps to get an interview and bring it up later

And tell them it’s just requires a lawyer to draft a letter from their end

[real island]

Is there a way to do something like this for internships?

[oblique quiver]

i mean sponsorship and authorization are separate things no?

[dapper thorn]

Not 100% never done it myself

[oblique quiver]

so if they don't sponsor they're still willing to like

write a letter presumably

[real island]

Ah okay

[oblique quiver]

(ofc im just speculating)

if working in the US is a big deal to you I think it's worth it to just apply and answer honestly and see how things go

[dapper thorn]

If you go in the subreddit there’s like a few ppl who wrote the letter themselves or hired a lawyer to do it for them, just gotta convince the company to hire you

[oblique quiver]

mhm

ig it all depends on the amount of effort

[little apex]

Is there a list of US company that sponsors for J1-visa?

[dapper thorn]

But the common theme seems to be is that a lot of hr ppl don’t know about the tn visa and they don’t wanna involve their immigration depts so they just pass on you

[stable ravine]

monk? wdym

[real island]

Most big tech prob do

[oblique quiver]

same tbh

i think canada just lacks jobs

[dapper thorn]

Honestly same tbh. Might just have to say I’m a US citizen on the app then hit em with the uno reverse at the end

[fickle lotus]

Yeah it's a slim chance if it's isn't a big company. Ppl give the advice to lie on the application so you get past the auto filter then bring up the TN status during recruiter call or w.e.

[little apex]

Do you think it’s worth applying to non big tech positions?

[stone osprey]

Thistbh

[real island]

If the application asks if you need sponsorship then I still apply but if they don’t I feel it’s prob not worth applying unless they are known to sponsor

[fickle lotus]

Bro trying not to get shot 💀

[oblique quiver]

honestly if the market situation does not change I'm thinking of just setting up shop in the US permanently

[fickle lotus]

it's fine, the fear's overblown imo

[worldly ridge]

what about random mass shootiongs

[fickle lotus]

Just don't engage with crazies

[worldly ridge]

is it up to rng gods

[fickle lotus]

I have a O(nlogn) algorithm to survive such situations

[oblique quiver]

depends on city

[worldly ridge]

my friends sister was on the nyc subway mass shooting

im lowkey truamatized

[oblique quiver]

monkaS

[paper ether]

felt i got a 312 on my first one 2 weeks ago, but its pretty random, i got a 534 on the one i took today

RBC

[worldly ridge]

i think everyone is getting hectic because of financial issues

[paper ether]

the questions are all from the same pool

[little apex]

Isn’t it the opposite? Since positions that ask if you need sponsorship might just auto filter you right away

[stable ravine]

why tho?. you pay less tax, less rent and more TC

[paper ether]

idk i should have gotten a 600 but i figured out the solution with like 2 minutes to go

[vernal sigil]

Anyone else under consideration for zon robotics?

[real island]

Hmmm well for example Microsoft asks but they sponsor

[real island]

Zon not hiring

[vernal sigil]

[dapper thorn]

[dapper thorn]
