Canada would be a lot better without Quebec

[magic ether]

This

[thorny frost]

Quebec should just become France II

[magic ether]

except the drinking age is 18

so it was nice when i was 18

[zenith eagle]

?????? no lol

and i say this as an anglophone supremacist

[thorny frost]

They want to separate themselves from us anyway

[timid tartan]

Canada is bad no matter what
No jobs, expensive af, high taxes

[thorny frost]

Why don't we just let them?

[zenith eagle]

expensive? sure, no jobs? sure high taxes?

it's analgous to cali taxes

except i think most of our taxes are well spent (lacking in healthcare and a few other areas)

in cali holy shit

[timid tartan]

Really?

Hmm

[thorny frost]

Canada is so shit honestly

[zenith eagle]

how the fuck are the roads in cali worse than quebec??? it doesn't snow in the bay area

[timid tartan]

But the thing is our TC is much lower for the same taxes then lmao

[tight gale]

Is that TC or base

[worldly ridge]

Congrats!!

cold applyig is out of meta now 😎

bro went the old school way and secured the bag

[dreamy crane]

Hey guys

[fossil field]

I have crypto and developed/developing trading bot for it for a couple years now

[analog current]

do u have cold wallet

[fossil field]

🫶

[analog current]

dude this is so fire

[fossil field]

Yes I do

[analog current]

why do u buy crypto

do u believe in it

[fossil field]

It’s a technology, it’s just like investing in any other technology and has very interesting use case, can also be used as currency and has way less transaction fees than traditional banking and more efficient

And you don’t need to go through middle men like you do with Banks

Instead it’s peer to peer so you know exactly where and from transaction is

[lapis tide]

idk about less fee lmao

[analog current]

what if the gov bans it

or regulats it

ok i needa study

so gtg

[fossil field]

Govs cant do shit lol, they can say " they ban it " but its just saying like "im gonna put this fire out" and not actually doing anything

its not centralized (Not most anyways) so you will still be able to use it

and goverenments tried before, look at china or india or even us kinda tried

only way to "ban" it is to turn off all the internet in the world

[fossil field]

way less, banks take 1-3% fees and its reflected in business while for example bnb is 0.02$-0.20$ cad for every transaction

[lapis tide]

perhaps

the differnence i think is that one is consumer facing fees

the other is baked in

also for cash transfers the amount banks charge doesnt depend on time of day or how many other people are also transferring

[fossil field]

Yea so crypto isnt meant to actually replace the dollar, its meant as an option just like gold is. It has its own use cases that can be better in certain situations just like the dollar has or gold has ya know

[lapis tide]

yeah id agree with that position

[fossil field]

but in an unstable economy like this and where a centralized dumb ass mf government has no idea about monetary policies that work then its better to dump that shit and go into other options

thats why i hedge in this economy and put my monies into gold/silver, crypto

[lapis tide]

which government

[fossil field]

every

[lapis tide]

tell that to ecuador

[fossil field]

especially us and canada and germany and japan and basically every

still isnt strong

[lapis tide]

fuck it was el salvador

tell that to el salvador

[fossil field]

cant make money out of nothing and expect it to have value, monies value is supposed to be backed by an asset which used to be gold

but then it was oil for the us and realestate for canada

thats why its worth shit compared to even 10 years ago lol

[lapis tide]

i prefer trusting the government

[eternal fossil]

Yooooo

[fossil field]

oh for sureeeee

[eternal fossil]

Got employed holy crap

Nice

[fossil field]

hehehe thanks

it was such a grind

[eternal fossil]

Gg @fossil field

[fossil field]

full stack

im usually backend and never done fullstack but lessgo im a really fast learner

[fiery prism]

Anyone did ebay oa before

[candid oxide]

Is it gca this year

[fiery prism]

Yeah

[candid oxide]

then it’s just normal codesignal gca

[fiery prism]

is 432 good enough to get ebay interview 🙂

[candid oxide]

I got ghosted last year with 846

[fiery prism]

432/600

[candid oxide]

846/850* yeah they changed it

[fiery prism]

shit I see

[candid oxide]

if it’s auto oa I just wouldn’t expect much but could always hear back

[fiery prism]

nah I applied to ebay for a while ago

don't think it's auto this year

[candid oxide]

Then maybe, some companies gca bars r pretty low

[analog current]

but reaslistiacally do u see it as an asset

whats the use of it

it just goes up cuz ppl buy

it provides 0 of anything else

[fossil field]

lol no but just like any other asset it goes up and down based on speculation

take a look at smart chains like binance smart chance or ethereum

so so much you can do and interesting teech

i used binacne smart chain to build smart contracts that can provide a lot of use cases, i mostly use it in building my bot

if you want to really see the tech and the usecases check this out

https://bitcoin.org/bitcoin.pdf

original white paper

also this

https://ethereum.org/en/whitepaper/

[analog current]

can i dm u, what cold wallet do u hve

[fossil field]

theres a reason theres a shit ton of companies and start ups using web3 and smart contracts

sure dm me

[analog current]

which exchange do u buy from

dmed

[lapis tide]

its auto pretty sure

[dreamy crane]

Yo Yoel romero

[lapis tide]

i think everyone that i know of that applied got oa

[fiery prism]

I love ufc too brotha

I’m fact my goal is to be ufc champion

As I’m working on my CS degree too

[hot spruce]

@fossil field hey did you land your interview through sending out tons of applications?

[dreamy crane]

I won’t bro

I have good boxing defense

Also my physical body is strong af

And I do neck training

Will be consuming fish oils to protect the brain

And will be doing CS to keep my brain shark

Sharp

Yeah study a lot before the fights and get a lot of assignments done

I’ll have 4 fights in a year

Not like imma fight every week lol

[storm stream]

don't get hit in the head too much

then you can't even do 2sum

[mint gorge]

this is coming from an anime pfp

[fiery prism]

yeah I got 40% discount

[fossil field]

no i got it through conneciton, i sent over 1200 applications and go nothing from them

[fiery prism]

nope ghosted

[stone osprey]

Goddamn 1200

How many interview did you get?

[dark wren]

anyone interviewed w amex canada before?

^for swe intern

[lapis tide]

how tf you get amex to respond 🤣

good luck

[fossil field]

1... and just a screening

[stone osprey]

That’s crazy, did you keep track of the stats, such as number of OAs recieved etc

I’m just curious

I have applied to 350 positions, no screening or interview just a bunch of auto OAs

[fossil field]

didnt need to keep try, i could remember cause i could count it

2 auto oa, and just 2 screens

i also didnt apply to fanng cause no point.

and i have 2 internships as well and decent resume

[dark wren]

is that good?

[lapis tide]

Idk but pretty rare

[hot spruce]

same

you'll probably hit 1000 the same way

[main grotto]

has anyone worked at harris computers before?

they have new posting

but its only paying 18

[fossil field]

Both of u should not rely on just spamming applications. Youre best bet and most reward for the work you put in its building connections and asking for referrals and things

not just big companies like fanng, recommendations means shit there i had a referral at amazon and didnt even get an oa.

[stable ravine]

Zon never posted ng job

[fossil field]

yea it was middle level role

but either way

[stable ravine]

Consider the current scenario I'm pretty sure no one wants a ng for experienced role coz there are experienced ppl willing to work minimum wage for a job

[stone osprey]

Yea same I am on my second internship and a decent resume

[stone osprey]

Yea that’s what I’m trying now as well

Spamming applications is not helping lol

[stable ravine]

https://tenor.com/view/married-with-children-al-bundy-hanging-noose-suicide-gif-4481202

[stone osprey]

@fossil field which company did you get hired at after all

Btw I’m talking in terms of internships. I know NG is even worse

[main grotto]

what does ng mean 🫣

[fossil field]

internships means shit nowadays too

peope with 7 getting nothing

[fossil field]

new grad

[main grotto]

ahh

ok ty

[hot spruce]

theres no reason to specifically mention experience as an internship anyway

[dark wren]

@lapis tide can i dm?

[hot spruce]

HR doesn't care

[fossil field]

i mean i think its useful and better than nothing

but in terms of hiring you over someone else, they have 5 yoe people appying for junior roles

[hot spruce]

Yes I see that now. Reality hurts. It's time to brush up my soft skills. Do you recommend any meetup group in particular? or an event to try things out?

[fossil field]

really just event, and everytime you go out, always see it as an opportunity to meet people that can lead to a job. I used to go to parties and talk to people and ask for refferal and if they knew anyone that knows about jobs

got a referral through that

it really is hard work, a lifestyle/mindset

[hot spruce]

that's excellent advice. thanks man

a lot of anonymous readers thanking you silently right about now

[fossil field]

Yea hope it helps, its something I wish I knew before

[hot spruce]

Should we bother with the US side of things?

Haven't had luck there, but I assume locals are priority

[alpine compass]

Has anyone been able to get a new grad job this season?

It seems impossible tbh

[lapis tide]

Lmao sure

I have no insights

[fossil field]

Its unlikely, i tried for a little but seems like it had no effect on my chances

[fossil field]

just landed one today

after 3 months of extremely hard work

[hot spruce]

a lot of sleepless nights?

[fossil field]

nah not like, just like thats all i did, that was my job from 11-7 everyday, was finding jobs

working on anything and everything

even going out to ask for min wage job until i land it

[alpine compass]

Congrats bro!

[fossil field]

but canada is insane and i coudnt even get a min wage job

thanks

[alpine compass]

Just wondering what can of experience did you have on your resume?

[fiery prism]

I’m counting on my RO

[fossil field]

i did too, finished in august and got nothing

think ahead

dont make mistake like i did

[fiery prism]

Which comp

[fossil field]

ia financial group

[alpine compass]

So you got a return offer since you were an intern there?

Or is your ng job with another company?

[fiery prism]

Damn that sucks

Yo I’m york too

[lapis tide]

No knock but its always funny when people say utilize instead of use

[candid oxide]

[fossil field]

no, they didnt give any i had to find myself

[fossil field]

sickkk when do u graduate?

what company u intern with?

[fiery prism]

Still undergrad

Just got a 12month coop so prolly 2025

[alpine compass]

Oh nice! My resume is kinda similar to yours in that I have 2 internships at the same financial company(not ia financial group) but I haven’t even gotten an interview so far :/

[candid oxide]

probably more canadian postings in the new year

[fossil field]

Really really hard, I sent over 1200 applications since September and had 1 interview from that. Only getting ghosted

My best bet has been connections

I’ve gotten all my serious interviews from connections

[little apex]

Did you get a verbal return offer from them?

[magic ether]

resume resume resume

[thorny frost]

That's why I'm going to steal business students' jobs instead

😏

[real mason]

@fickle lotus @spring meteor finally got my recruiter call scheduled, they sent me this:

[gilded charm]

hey guys is linkedin showing lower number for applicants on job posts
it used to be 500-1000 per post now i keep seeing around 50

[hot spruce]

it helps with user interactivity if you lower the big bad daunting number lol.

[sly kindle]

50 PLUS

[fossil field]

No I asked if they can take me on as new grad after and they said it wasn’t in their budget

They were laying off a lot of contractors while I was there this summer too

Lots of companies doing that cause no more free infinite growth money

[stable ravine]

It shows on premium

[fossil field]

Shows 150+ on LinkedIn premium nothing more

welp tie to cancel that now

[gilded charm]

gyattt damn i was excited thought chances are high lol

[wheat comet]

Even on premium it only shows 150+????? Wtf

everytime you do what other are doing you just know it wont work

[keen brook]

canada market aint it chief

[fickle lotus]

Nice, so rolling interviews eh?

I thought they only shortlisted a few people

[gilded charm]

yeah man i cant see it im from yyc too

[gilded charm]

just read an article where take2I is considering hourly charge to play games wtf

[fossil field]

A lot of these business were only profitable when they scale with interest free money and now when its expensive to borrow they are losing money, thats why a lot of companies especially start ups are shutting down

so they need to do anything they can to monetize the hardest

which basically makes shit super expensive

huh damn i just explained inflation but this is in terms of services gawd damn

the world man wtf is going on

[little apex]

Oh that sucks! On the good note you found something else

[strange jay]

anybody heard back from amazon (summer 2024, van/toronto)?

[lapis tide]

[strange jay]

[fossil field]

Yes stop putting ur hopes in cold applying, doesnt work especially for new grads unless ur op programmer with high school and internship status

[fossil field]

work on that i promise youll get a job if u do that

[stone osprey]

Has anyone heard back from Amazon for summer 24 internships?

[prime cedar]

Zon not hiring

[stone osprey]

Fr or are you serious?

[fallen mason]

Yo if I'm from ontario (my gov id's match my ontario address), but go to school and do a co-op in BC, which address do I put when a company asks for it?

[thorny frost]

Amazon is just a stepping stone for other FAANG companies

Nobody actually wants to stay there long term

[prime cedar]

Are u a prev FAANG or zon intern?

[thorny frost]

No but I have friends who interned/worked at zon

[proud coyote]

Dw I don't think they started yet

[thorny frost]

Most zon employees leave after 1-2 years

I'm planning to work for a F500 company

I don't really care about working for FAANG

or move on to a better company lol

[prime cedar]

U better not have applied to zon

Speaking like that

[thorny frost]

Amazon is generally better than AWS but it's still bad nonetheless

YMMV

I'm talking about the non-cloud division

why?

I see but it would be really cool to work on ecommerce or payment related stuff

[prime cedar]

Pay in Canada is one of the highest

[thorny frost]

for FAANG?

[prime cedar]

Yea

[thorny frost]

damn I didn't know that

[prime cedar]

I mean we only got google here too

[thorny frost]

no way

They can't be paying higher than Meta

[prime cedar]

Stripe used to pay more

There’s no meta in Canada

Maybe Vancouver not sure

[thorny frost]

no I'm talking about the US

[prime cedar]

Oh yeah

Meta pays more

LinkedIn pays more

Stripe pays more

?

No they don’t

Yeah that’s the thing

A lot of companies pay 100+

[thorny frost]

100k+ is good

for many ppl

for HYPSM and T10 schools, probably 200k+

[prime cedar]

A lot pay 100+

In US 200 isn’t that crazy to get

A decent amount of companies pay that

U just gotta grind

[thorny frost]

top achievers think 400k+ is good but only a very small percentage of ppl can get into quant and make that kind of money

[teal remnant]

Hello @timid tartan

[thorny frost]

400k+ is surgeon money lol

minus the insane loans

true that

[candid oxide]

i dont understand the point trying to be made here

so you're saying theres no difference between someone getting paid like 200k and 400k

[timid tartan]

Bro what

[candid oxide]

i mean some companies clearly just pay more than others, and that would be considered "good" by comparison

[timid tartan]

I guess so

[candid oxide]

yeah i mean if youre comparing companies where the tc is barely diff than obviously its pretty much the same

but like this obivously 400k is a significant diff

[timid tartan]

Feels like in this country every dollar really counts lmao

[barren sinew]

The jump from 400k to 500k may not be that meaningful (idk I don't make that much) but the jump from 80 to 150 or 100 to 200 definitely is

[thorny frost]

Most people probably won't last 5 years as a quant

They'll be too burned out after a few years

[candid oxide]

i mean they hire a decent amount of ppl a year, i know several ppl going to jane st/cit full time

and its not even math problems or anything its just SWE

[teal remnant]

How do I get cracked send help

[thorny frost]

Must be UWaterloo

[barren sinew]

Idk why we're taking like it's 400k or bust here. FAANG is life changing money for a lot of middle class kids

[teal remnant]

Yeah but who is giving 400k 😂

[thorny frost]

lol.

[teal remnant]

Can Nokia give 400k ?

[thorny frost]

If you're the CEO

[teal remnant]

No way

[teal remnant]

That’s low for ceo right ?

Minimum 1 mil for Nokia ceo

[thorny frost]

I think so. Maybe for CTO then

IDK

[teal remnant]

How do you get 200k tc bro I would be happy fk it

[candid oxide]

i mean they can just join another firm if they really want the tc

the number i gave isnt even in like sf/nyc its in florida

idk where this conversation is going anymore

[strange jay]

Does connections work after referral tho

Like other than small startups

[barren sinew]

That's on the highest margin tax. There's no possible way it would lower your take home by 50%+

[strange jay]

Unless ur daddy is head of engineerong or smt

Thats what i thought lol

[thorny frost]

if 400k isn't enough for you to have a comfortable lifestyle then you're just bad with money

[candid oxide]

for you to get teh same takehome in say somewhere like the gta, you would prob need 1:1
COL adjusted
so 200k USD = 200k cad,

but there's just infinitely more 200k usd jobs in HCOL usa than 200k cad anywhere in canada

[strange jay]

Tf

lol

[thorny frost]

100k isn't enough to live a comfortable lifestyle in many big cities in Canada unless you have a partner who's also making that much money

[strange jay]

100k cad or usd

[thorny frost]

cad

[strange jay]

Its bs

Rent at least 25k if u rent room

[weak gazelle]

?

cap

[strange jay]

1 usd = 1.35 cad

Its widening

[weak gazelle]

cap

lol

[strange jay]

Rates

Fed may raise to 7

[candid oxide]

no cad is worthless

its why everyone wants to go to the US

[strange jay]

Us ppl spending like crazy

Rates not coming down

At least

They dont have carbon tax

My ma was furious bc shes in NB lol

Dutch is fucked

They fighting against cartel or smt

[thorny frost]

I heard the dutch people are very racist to Asians

[strange jay]

Ye

Like entire europe is

[candid oxide]

what made you even come to this chat dr crud

[strange jay]

I bet weed makes ppl nicer eh

[weak gazelle]

Kuro makes 600k

[thorny frost]

that's 100k more than what I'm making now lol

[strange jay]

I heard they're tryna regulate now

Might as well do us remote works in berta

Cant do toronto rent its fcking crazy

[thorny frost]

I heard Calgary is in the top 10 most expensive cities in Canada now

Everyone and their moms want to move there

I'm in Ottawa rn and this city is boring af

Don't come here

[strange jay]

Its tax rate

Income tax 3-5% lower than ontario i believe

Ottawa > Toronto tho

[thorny frost]

Ottawa has the boring tax

[strange jay]
