Congrats on Rejexx
anyone interview with mackenzie investments for winter 2024 quant intern?
j getting all the interviews though
that's so unlucky
Yeah they got past most resume screens :o
@mystic gull i need your resume
he has project with 14k users
i have a project with 140001 users


can this get me a swe job
@everyone @here
Lmk if you get the recruiter phone, don't wanna keep my hopes up lol
Huh
has anyone interviewed with BAM for swe intern?
This may be a long shot; but, has anyone been through the process with World Education Services http://www.wes.org/ca/ for evaluation of non-Canadian credentials? (Potential employer says they may need it, I've definitely got questions about how that works/timelines/whether or not doing the evaluation once then covers any/all future potential employers, etc.). Even longer-shot, it's an Australian credential (but, I don't think that matters other than it being simpler in the whole not needing to be translated from some other language to English part).
World Education Services (WES) is a non-profit social enterprise dedicated to helping international students, immigrants, and refugees achieve their educational and career goals in the United States and Canada.
doomer king out of the mud
bro was raised in the gutter fr
Delete deez nuts
if it's not from a recruiter it's standard reject
This is about as standard a reject as it gets
I caught the dooming 😭
All these rejection emails dropping today forgot how depressing it is
Which ones did you get
Autodesk and Cisco were the only ones so far 
thanks
Autodesk backend for summer ?
Bb x 3, WeDrive
Wtf 💀💀
intern?
Ye
dooom doom doom
got zon background check 
Nice! Just enjoy life until Jan then
No more stress
same
is it bad to apply to both a company's internship and new grad role
how have yall been doing with applications
in toronto and applied to over 800 places these past 2 months since i graduated august and shit luck going hella broke rn
Fucking shit
I have no winter 2024 internship
How the flying fuck r all these people getting offers
best bet is connections
i got all my interviews so far from connections and none from cold applying
same I am not getting any bites for winter/summer either :')
I have referrals for like all the companies
Asana, snap, Palantir, samsara, databricks, coin, faang, etc
Doesn’t mean shit
did you get DB oa?
Show ur resume
@vernal sigil my pic better
Show ur resume
is _ hiring
Do you have any prev. exp?
Especially at the places you mentioned I think they’re pretty good abt giving OAs at least to people who get referred
Wonder if maybe your resume has something throwing them off

anyone know how much drw mtl pays for ng
Damm
RBC asked me system design q last year and their pay was like $23
i literally stopped applying to banks and big names like that
only get rejections even with internship experience
I wish I had the option 
nothing much. how did you even manage to apply to 800 positions?
same im never doing those stupid IQ reaction test games again lmao
literally why do companies even have that still
Banks don’t even pass me for resume screen 😢
Y'all have known him for that long?
I only know banks have swe interns from hearsay
anyone heard of "rideco" in canada? know anything about their tech?
http://rideco.com
RideCo’s on-demand transit software and solutions transform transits by making them convenient to ride and cost effective to operate.
youtube getting scary precise with the targeted ads
Like their techstack?
Y do u wanna kno?
whatever you know about their company
is it good, etc
lol
dat mean do it again
Just got rejected from Veeva after a decent final round
i got rejected too one month ago LOL
i think veeva is very picky
ha
yeah idk anyone from canada who got veeva offer other than me
swimming in success fr
i think theyre rlly picky yeah
all my friends got rejected
The behaviourals were super chill
And I had three programming questions
- TWO SUM
- the easiest string parsing question
- find if an array is rotation of another array
The optimal solution for (3) is a dp solution. The interviewer even admitted he was not even sure what that solution was
But apparently it is a standard question out there? I couldn’t figure it out either way
veeva ft or intern? @mystic crag
Fulltime. I am ex faang intern as well and apparently they hate those candidates. They dropped a bunch of ex metas last year apparently
They asked me “if you had to choose between meta and Veeva who would you choose” 💀
i had meta on my resume 
meta obv 
more
oh wow, mine were harder than that i think
i got resume rejected xD
lambton kid spotted
york ?

york is da place to be
tbh i dont blame them
Oh %100
i would say i prefer zon
I was fully using them as a backup

not saying that you specifically match that criteria but faang hired wayyy too many interns in past 1-2 years and its lost its value for internships
bro u got other offers?
nah veeva > zon
idk the exact specifics of zon offer but veeva is somewhat comparable and better wlb
refer me next year pls
prob not as good engineering but id rather a worse engineering culture and not want to kill myself
zon on call is da shit
me RO
no dms
jkjk
no ro
never interned at zon
lmao

not cut out to be at MANGA
i believe in u!
i don't believe in myself

later
gotta grind assignment
and i am shitposting here

L
thanks tho
is it better than humber?
Wassonde > Laurier

@kyleotero kys
Did Kyle ever hear from a real person why he was declined

💀
on 9 point scale
That’s why I hate unis
They did me dirty too
who ping me
Someone pinged me and deleted
proof?
Yeah someone did the same to me
I think it was DM
huh
i wanna announce
after gaining all this new knowledge on so many different routes of programming i am paralyzed with the amount of things i can do and have therefore decided to drop out and persue NFT reselling as my job
so true king
dont i know u from somewhere
i’d guess laurier discord
sadge
nope not fortune enough ;/
cs 
to do embedded
has anyone here worked for the CSE as a swe intern?

canadian stock exchange?
cuz thats called TSE
toronto stock exchange
communication security establishment

government
cse - comp sci and engineering
yes i am first year its very hard to find coop i have a final round this week

what yr ru?
any tips to help improve my chances?
duyde idek what i wanna be
what do u do
web dev
mobiel
whatever the fuck "computer vision" is
i can basically do everything but the job is web dev
computer vision is deadass like a camera
wym
how can u know everything
a bit more difficult like cv requires optimization
bro just has superficial knowledge
im decent enough to be hired
how
ive coded for a while
do u buy udemy courses
why would i need
how can i start for embedded egn
u want to explore embedded systems?
yea
get work exp
dy have cs exp?
what uni ru in
ru canada?
yea
its better to start early no
to get as much exp in embedded
its hard to get exp in embedded so u have to do for a long time
this guy at uni on my first day showed up and askd for my linkedin and i thought he was joking but he was deadass
can u do leetcode?
ii have done 4 easys in 2 years
can u do backend coding?
ru at tmu? giving me those vibes
idk what that is
ryerson
yep ur a tmu kid
how do i get into embedded
idk bro why is ur entire text history u just asking how to get into xyz career
get work exp ..........
dyk anything abt CSE?
no idea. but ig it would be easy. try glassdoor/reddit?
is redacted good for first yr
work exp>>>>pay
being a first year
and in this market *
idk no idea what's the pay for first year but juniors get paid around 27-30bucks avg, ig its good.
senior
nice what uni?
wait so do coops look at what yr u r or how many coop terms uve done?
and base ur salary off of that?
Yeah it’s good
idk I dont think your salary depends on your coop term
it depends on the org and your competence
That’s 2 dollars more than my first coop
isn't that minimum wage 
Just do it for 4 months and then get somewhere higher paying after
Wtf when did minimum wage become 16.55
Kids these days
i see. how hard do they go on technicall interviews at the government
Non existent
Unless u interview at CSE
thats what im doing
CSE is kinda hard no?
u worked there?
Nah I worked for PSPC
for 1st year they wouldn't expect much.
Didn’t they quiz u on random Java concepts
i cleared OA and Hr/behaivioural
On the oa
so i applied to everything on the website. i got like 10 oas
one was java yes
one was c++
one of python
The ppl who work for CSE are probably super paranoid and not on this server
one of js
One person I knew who interned at CSE as a first year
everyone ive asked has very tight NDAs
math phd at Princeton now
wow
Yep
That guy was cracked, he was a math specialist at uoft
Turned down Waterloo cs to study math at uoft
crazy im a math major too rn at uw
Had a 100% avg in hs
wait why? uw math is better no?
Not for pure math
If ur the type who wants to do phd
i see
More research opportunities there
our CO department is insane i think
Yeah it is
Uoft has a better analysis group
Some shit like that I forgot
Math too hard for me I transferred out
what major ru now?
troll
dude i swear im being serious
im watching this rn
idk which software thing to specialize in
is there a list i can see of the paths
Yep, take a look at https://roadmap.sh
Bet bro ty
There is no embedded here
I decided to fuck it ima just do it
Whatever i am most liking ill just search what that would fall under and do ir
bro gonna spend nxt 2 yrs ruminating on what to pursue 
Just look at a job description of a job u want
Look at the technologies , make projects with said technologies
I have all the keywords on my resume still getting resume rejected ;/ ..
I dont eant any job

I want to be just like u
Dun dun dunna na
Dun duna na
Mahone solos
I’m fucking dead lmfaoo
i got rejected from ubc cs and im in faang now
i really hate the cs entry process in canadian schools
What did u study instead ?
^can confirm
math
At ubc ?
I transferred out of math at uoft cuz I wasn’t able to declare cs either
So I studied cs at a diff uni
Was it worth staying
yeah
Should I have stayed ?
not sure if it was worth staying
I’m studying cs at Carleton U, basically no name
i didn’t really like studying math but i tried to take cs-esque courses like graph theory
Did u run into visa problems
yep
Like not being able to us TN
:(
faang in canada
Oh I see
i’m applying for a green card rn tho
Yeah I noticed math ppl are stuck in Canada
Gl its only 2-3 years for Canadians , pretty short right
Did u do anything special
To pass resume screen as a math major
did u get formally married?
yeah i got a court marriage to do the CR1 visa
nope
Congrats !
Yeah when I was a math major I felt really hopeless
Seeing everyone else able to declare cs
I can feel that. I remember when I got rejected from cs the first time
i wonder why canadian universities do that
granted it was cause the cs depo forgot about me
having a gpa barrier to cs entry
Does uni matter in faang
@rain delta did u hear how bad it was this year?
I’m still coping a little bit that I can transfer to a better one
nope did it get worse
oh yeah i heard that
there was so much overfill
all the cs rejects going for math
SFU is good for cs tho
helps get the foot in the door
but after that
depends on u
I know a lot who go to faangs
international?
or domestic
2 Internships left
If u were me would u grind lc and try for faang rn
Or focus on getting a return offer ig
tbh
I think it's p easy to get into fanng
you just need to be able to do medium at the min
I usually only get hards when I get
bad interviewers
quants
How long did it take u to get unseen mediums consistently
or shit companies
Bc that’s my main problem rn
i think most of faang isn’t hiring rn right
all problems are a variation of another
internship
rip why
@rain delta got 2 rescinded offers and couldn't find another ng
so I just gave up and I'm going to grad next year
got internships
and hoping for an easy convert
dang i’m sorry to hear that
yeah delaying grad seems like the best choice rn
I'm happy I did
a lot of my confidence came back
so I'm happy I'm in cs again
cause I was dreading it a lot recently
that and like
ima be real
I needed a fucking break
LOL
I kept working myself too hard
why is this in amaazon
im just searching for early BF deals at 4am and I got this 
This realization flipped my whole world upside down man 😔
Your pfp is a koala I thought it was a rhino
What did you realize
I saw it
did u decide what ur gonna do
no 😦
ur a great vidoe ditor, u shud be an editor
what should i do
my bad habibi
did u ever do a hackathon
HABIBI :3
no because i shower
not even that
sloth
ye
wtf
that sounds rough sry to hear that
in similar situation and chose to delay grad by one semester
ty
But I'm vibin tho now
just gotta adapt and figure things out
and better now at the start
instead of when I have a fam and kids
yeah fr, also you are completely fine career wise doing that casue canada is not really hiring many ng, more will come next year
o
I'm not even applying to canada
I'm a dual citizen
huge dub already
easy money, admit 2000 students, milk the first year tuition, and only let 300 into second year
UTM's strategy as well
where at?
sorry to hear
nope lol not at all
How
maybe to get in, but once you're in it doesn't matter
Oh yeah lol
I thought that’s what he meant
in terms of getting in, you might be more attractive to recruiters if you have a top t uni on ur resume
ah okay maybe i mis-interpreted it
this isn't entirely true, uoft kids normally just transfer to other programs right? the gpa barrier is there to filter out specializations no?
dang i shoulda paid attention in stochastic probability D:
i've seen people doing a math major get better jobs in cs than cs majors DD:
its not even that. for example my cs grades were really good but i had a rough first year (barely took any cs courses and my grades tanked cuz of my math courses)
if they were solely looking at my cs grades i could have made it in
but for some reason they take the cumulative average
Same man, same
math is for the rejects, the cs major is the one that only accepts 300 students
jump from hs to uni math was crazy
are u at uoft?
ironically they accepted me into the math major though
nah ur quite lucky, utsg is top in canada for quite a few programs lool
It is, but I wish I went to uw, courses are easier there and I could do the same since I’m not sure about grad school
wait fr?
ive never heard that
they don’t really know what classes u take with a cGPA tho
Yeah, easier than uoft for sure
for example if ur in arts you could just spend your first year doing art electives
and have your grades tank because of those classes
and those have nothing to do with cs
that's why i hear bare people getting really high gpas
It’s not easy but they don’t go in detail about the analysis stuff in math
which tanked my gpa
uoft loves proofs
Not rlly
The math courses for cs kids are so easy
in the flip side, you could take gpa boosters first year and get into cs with those grades
if the issue was just a working proficiency then the bar wouldn't be so high, but the reality is that there are only so many seats available in comparison to the amount of ppl that attend
and i don’t think that’s fair at all
just like how it isn’t fair to use your cGPA to determine if u get into cs
yes…
bro what are you on about
the strat is to take courses in the summer
The required math courses for the uw cs program are not hard
calc?!
i hate that there’s even a strat
send course code
Theyre not
But theres easier ones
unless ur cracked
what course code was your calc
Math137 and 138 had proofs
uoft is built for cracked people tbh lol
They’re not required for the uw cs program?
127 and 128 dont
They are
Theyre the defauly
U can take 127 and 128 but u have to get a certain grade
Like a 75 or 80 i forget
For it to count as a 137 or 138 credit
did u get ur bgc
R u uoft
did u?
yeah
dam kinda early no?
Hahaha yea that course sucked
Ye
You took it?
So did all the other business courses
it’s about 60. days before i start
The shitty side
u were arts tho no?
😂😂😂
Oh
yeah
they only look at cs grades
still you get the uw degree
during our year
Yea
But the name isnt rlly worth much without waterloo works
im pretty sure it was cGPA
no one is gonna ask you what side you’re on in an interview 🤣
idk i applied several times though
true uw is just coop
I got Laurier side but chose uoft
they confirmed it to me
I kinda regret not going
I would’ve only taken uw if I had got cs
they use w/e is lower
min of (cgpa, cs) iirc
Yeah, but I wanted uw cs
with WW
I think waterloo is still fine
Ah really
honestly got uoft the barrier to entry is pretty high cuz it takes so much work to get done
I used my friends in 2018-19 for the first coop but thats abt it
most kids just suck now
No theres half as many jobs now
If there were 10 bloomberg spots in 2019 there were 1 in 2022
what year was this
2017/2018
Its both
this tbh, bare layoffs
requested a freedom of information act
Waterloo works looked so nice, friend in astrophysics was showing me how many posting there were
look waterloo kids get private postings compared to everyone
ASIP boards had like 3 💀
The social life sucked
what if u only took 110 and applied tho
Im not Waterloo works so
True
I know what you mean
u needed 210 to apply
uw has a w co-op system
if you were in arts
so they would only look at two courses
Carleton’s is good too
110, 121, 210
I got some coops off the name alone but recruiters got rlly pissed when i told them i was non coop
is what they want
I might have gotten blacklisted for doing that 💀
tbh the thing I hate about canada coop
is they don't tell you to apply to the us
Did you get a look at the Laurier coop system, was it god
So ass
I couldnt get a job off it
😂
Actually, what about business jobs?
For business its good
But all my cs friends ended up taking a BA or finance job in first year
I didnt want either
Rip
Waste of time
Yea
finance tbh is alright
Im not rlly about it
I know a few that used it to pivot into quant
^
How r u finding jobs without PEY tho
we have asip but I’m gonna drop it
I’m finding em externally fine
Rlly?
Ye
So its not ur first coop then

Cuz my uoft friends are in hell rn
I took a gap sem, starting in Jan
💀
offer seaspn
They had to settle for some shitty PEYs
Are they software positions?
Yea but low end
I work with a bunch of u of t folks, their pey is solid, they're doing it at my workplace
what is low end?
Aw hell nah
Theyre getting short changed
oh, we all get like 28 an hour at my plce
Yea the market is shit rn
Maybe 7-8 months ago they woulda got 30 for the same job
🤦♂️🤦♂️
I got 25 for first coop
idk I’ll take it
Nah thats solid
Break from school 💀
25 is great for a first coop lol
Yeah, not complaining
yee
nothing worse then updating ur resume after 150+ apps submitted already
OHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH
CAAAAAAAAAANAAAAAAAAAADAAAAAAAAA
OUR HOMEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE
and native land
ion rmb the rest
what the fuck is machine leraning
it isnt rel
real
becuase u have to teach it rather than it learning on its own
jokes
In demand of jobs
Government propaganda
EA reject dropped 🥲
they shouldve been more clear; job prospects at mcdonalds and tim hortons higher than ever
prob easier to get a job at Jane Street than at mcdonalds with all the labour importation
200 ppl standing in line for a grocery clerk job
😩😩😩
BYE BYE
why fhamly
what do you'all think about pay of 38/hour for intern?
