[spice herald]

So is Amazon OA for Canada officially out?

[lavish void]

TBH I'd be down to take the offer if it was paid even minimum wage

[storm stream]

I'm down to take unpaid labour if it's all you got

but you have amazon lined up fuck them for not paying you

[mint gorge]

they are illegal but I don't think there's anything actually enforcing that, you can take it for the experience

[lapis tide]

idk why we keep saying theyre illegal

theyre not

https://www.canada.ca/en/services/jobs/workplace/federal-labour-standards/interns.html

[lavish void]

"If you are a student intern, the Canada Labour Code does not require that you be paid and the activities you perform for an employer are not considered to be work."

[worldly ridge]

@analog current this is u when u graduate

https://tenor.com/view/buzz-lightyear-gif-21327280

[analog current]

[worldly ridge]

[worldly ridge]

[vivid fiber]

thanks

[weak gazelle]

[lapis tide]

Congrats

[weak gazelle]

then why wouldn't they just say co-op

instead of student intern

[weak gazelle]

this explains it

[ruby ridge]

this definition of student intern applies to federally regulated industries or workplaces, for other workplaces provincial employment standards apply

GOOD LUCK QUEEN

[lavish void]

Guys, everyone’s gonna get an offer. The job market is turning back around, trust me. I know someone who got fired yesterday and literally got hired in a day! His name is Sam Altman.

[zenith eagle]

alors, comment ca-va c'est bon nuit?

[ruby ridge]

good effort 🫡

[zenith eagle]

even though je habite a quebec maintnent, je ne sais francais, je sais franglais

who has time for anything other than sniping job posts and crying at the end of the day

[ruby ridge]

[timid tartan]

Bad

[zenith eagle]

fuck off mr zon offer

[timid tartan]

[zenith eagle]

people with offers should be banned from using

not in this economy

[timid tartan]

I'm still actively applying lol

[zenith eagle]

y lol

[timid tartan]

[zenith eagle]

zon good

[timid tartan]

Just in case

[zenith eagle]

did cb give u an answer yet?

[timid tartan]

Not yet idek why

It's so so so weird lmao

It'll be on this Wed according to my recruiter

But idk what took them this long

[zenith eagle]

y would they invest so much in u as an intern and then not give u ft offer????

gl

what other processes r u in?

[timid tartan]

Because my internship was in Fall 2022

So it's been like over a year

[zenith eagle]

still you're not an unknown variable

[timid tartan]

LMFAO

[lapis tide]

Congrats on alexa

[zenith eagle]

i'm ngl these recent experiences have made me question if we'll spend a lot of our careers with one eye open to look out for layoffs and instability

i used to think job security wasn't as important in cs since most people switch every few years but like now i defo value it more

[lapis tide]

Youll spend half the business cycle with one eye open

[zenith eagle]

the stress of job applications and the interviews and the uncertainity just is wearing me out

[candid oxide]

[timid tartan]

Hmm aren't you focusing on low level dev?

You should have much better job security in that area

[zenith eagle]

no

[zenith eagle]

beggars can't be choosers

really wish i didnt balk at learning react

[timid tartan]

👀

I mean Java is still applicable for low level dev anyway

My Amazon team does low level database + networking and it's still full Java lmao

Exactly

[zenith eagle]

i literally interviewd for autodesk

recruiter asked if i knew java

i'm like hell yeah

[timid tartan]

Cracked

[zenith eagle]

i had a few projects in java -- trnapiler, etc

she rejected me still saying "u have a lot of nontrivial java exp but we're looking for java exp in spring boot so sry you're not moving forward"

https://tenor.com/view/tissue-roll-hangging-suicide-funny-gif-22276377

WHAT MORE DO THEY WANTTTTTTTTTTTTT

I GUARENTEE U MY TRANSPILER IS MORE COMPLICATED THAN SPRINGBOOT

i swear if they did this shit for non technical roles

[timid tartan]

Lmao

I'm not surprised anymore

[zenith eagle]

i see you have msft office suite 2010 exp but we're looking for exp in mst office suite 2018 so you're rejected

??????????

[timid tartan]

[zenith eagle]

do they do this shit for non technical roles?

like i don't get it

[timid tartan]

I mean bruh

First of all calm down

Second

Remember this is employers' market

They can be as picky as possible lmao

[zenith eagle]

if you're gonna reject me for not having professional exp with spring boot specifically u better be doing this to a HR applicant if they dont know office 2018

[timid tartan]

They probably have 10000+ other candidates with multiple Java, Spring, Hibernate, Maven, whatever you name it exp

[timid tartan]

Btw why don't you just make one

It shouldn't take too long for a small app lmao

[zenith eagle]

i told her i've used it for school projects

and she's like what about at ur internships?

i already knew it was joever

[timid tartan]

Yep that's it

You're cooked lmao

[timid tartan]

Are all your internships low level stuff?

[zenith eagle]

no

one one was

first was typescript/javascript, nodejs shop

2nd was c++/c,python, with a bit of ts and js and node

the last two were same company just rails

[timid tartan]

Bruh

[zenith eagle]

i don't mind non low level dev work but when i touch javascript or rails or whatever i feel like a soydev

yeah i hated rails so much

[timid tartan]

Lmaoooo yea

[zenith eagle]

so much so if i got RO i prolly would think long and hard and would consider turning it down

[timid tartan]

Mine is JS/TS + React/Angular, Java (Spring), Go, Python so far

I'd love to do smth with C++ / Rust honestly

Well there's still NVIDIA, Qualcomm, Intel, etc

[zenith eagle]

whenever i work in c or cpp i feel like an actual dev

a respectable dev, and that i'm using my degree

[timid tartan]

LMAO

React is not even a language

[zenith eagle]

also feel a bit safer knowing i cna't be replaced with a js soydev bootcamp grad

[timid tartan]

?

[zenith eagle]

i'm also too stupid for frontend

[timid tartan]

Literally same

LMFAO

FE is the hardest shit ever in the world

[zenith eagle]

genuinely i tried getting to react many times and i was like this is too complicated and convoluted

when i was in hs and learning fe i almost contemplated dropping out of

CS since i assumed that's basically it for jobs

[hot rapids]

I've never done a FE role either

[timid tartan]

It's fine tho there's no point forcing yourself in it

[zenith eagle]

all jobs need Fe work and i was like fuck maybe cs isn't it for me

[timid tartan]

Tbh you can argue either way

[hot rapids]

all my roles have been go and python so far

[timid tartan]

Niche job is harder to get but better job security all in all

Idk

I don't think there's a "correct way" to approach the job market

[zenith eagle]

c and cpp make me feel like a respectable programmer. python makes me feel happy and the developer producitivity in the abstractions it provides plus simple synatx that reads like english/psuedocode make me feel like an academic working on new algorithms or like a hacker putting a mvp real quick

[timid tartan]

Just do whatever you like the most

[zenith eagle]

havent used java for work but i could see myself tolerating it

but aside from those languages

i hate most of the work

[analog current]

how many embedded jobs are there in canad

a

relative to mobile

also how hard is it to learn other technologies when u have a job

like asy ur a web dev

is it hard to leran mobile dev while ur web dev?

u would have to lean after ur 9-5

[fickle lotus]

that depends on your work ethic imo, definitely need to exercise tho or your brain will be mush

as for how hard it will be, in my experience the more technologies you learn the easier it becomes to learn subsequent ones

the fundamentals are largely the same

not saying it'll be easy tho, esp after already programming 9-5

[vivid fiber]

I'd say there are prob more mobile jobs. However, the market for developers reflects the number of jobs. Meaning there are probably 10 Mobile devs for every mobile jobs, but maybe only 3 for every embedded job.

So it equals out

[vivid fiber]

It's impossible to say as the above user mentioned

[vivid fiber]

again, depends on your work ethic and discipline

[analog current]

hm

true

[tawny zephyr]

50% of time they dont really read resume correctly

github would be like 5%

At least for new grad

[fickle lotus]

January/February is last copium for Canada

[harsh imp]

is it gonna get better after that?

[magic ether]

jan feb is prime time for canada

[fickle lotus]

Yee I'm just hoping the weird market rn doesn't impact that

[magic ether]

hope not!!

[fickle lotus]

Inflation is down tho which is good

[magic ether]

yeah i think that this might be an off year

so delaying grad might be the play

[timid tartan]

Doesn't new grad hiring typically finish at that time lol

I've heard new grad hiring is usually over before the new year idk

Def doesn't apply to internships though

[terse burrow]

[candid oxide]

it’s only good if ur average high af

[analog current]

anyone heard back from ripple?

[swift kernel]

35% of people landing a co-op in first year is still completely insane compared to other unis

the avg across all Canadian universities would prob be closer to 5% if not less

[analog current]

Yeah some ppl have

Not many tho

Ok good Ik I got rejected then lmao

Tbh low co-op rates will continue to increase as more people join, overall Waterloo still has amazing placement rates

or if u sublet they will further sublet that sublet

[worldly ridge]

how do u usualy verify ur sublet? in the past i only asked for proof of enrolment and send the contract

my past subletter was v chill tho

[eternal fossil]

depends on how long youre subletting for

under a year?

[weak gazelle]

can u sublet ur place just for a month

or just for a summer

[eternal fossil]

risky
