oh u mean that
on us scale
tbh based for canadian admissions
they kinda sorta do
especially with inflation
no standardization
like across provinces some have standard exams (alberta still i think?) some dont
the 225% year?
2020 l
anyone her working at amazon currently?
give zon referral 🥺
tbh the only thing keeping a 99 average helped me with was scholarships
alr got didnt work 😭
i got a big ass number
how much 🙈
80k
sheeesh
the lottomax millions is a lottery
let be real univeristy rlly doesn't matter that much
Only for coop
im not trying for a 4.0 in uni i want to live
😭
i want to be HAPPY!!!!!
thanks hamster
My gpa never got me anything except a nice little title on my degree lol
thats exactly why i dipped from my 3.8 to my current 3.2 😄
veeva moment
Whats verva
they rejected me cos low gpa
yeah veeva has 3.3 min req
my friend with 0 xp got oa, and me with 3 coops got rejected
xde
I just want to get quant
why cant i see more quants do actual rich people stuff
like boat club
and wear their lil polos or sumthin
buy a horse instead lets see it
bring ur horse to poker
they need to be more like the stereotypes
or just not the types to flex
but they'll gamble a lot
theres a big UW Poker club -> quant pipeline
ive heard of that 😭
standard quant hours
i think quant is only for IMO-type ppl
yeah but the interview process probably has a lot of cheques to avoid false poisitives
as does any prop shop
they lookin
for certain kind of individual
for these roles
what is this
genuinely dont think an insufficient math background with some leetcode memorization/pattern crunching and high level sys design is gonna get u a quant job
math olympiad
there u go
yeah quant swe is more achievable
still need like 2 faang internships first
most of the time
or else you just dont pass on resume

thanks ur a G
gotcha
toronto?
I see
literally updated 5 days ago
fax
Is it just me or does this sometimes miss stuff
ye
gotta manually use tht to search to see some stuff
and even then it misses sometimes
overleaf resumes
my brohter
it's latex
i would live in port dover for a nice internship rn
yea true
what's there in port dover tho?
ngl i wish i was into hick town hobbies but i'm not
but yeah i think it's good
i rice latex so hard
custom fonts, custom glyphs
to make my resume look sexy
do you have any 2024 2023 template
ive been using that not sure how it fare through ats and all
will delete soon, so pls rate
this should be like the bizniz card scene in american psycho
no ratings?
damn
wait you are asking for feedback?
oh well my resume looks sexy
yea i riced it so hard
i spent like a week ricing it
importing custom fonts
no like customization
Race Inspired Cosmetic Enhancements. (R.I.C.E.)Parts put on cars to make them look fast, when they have no internal tuning, and are actually slow as hell. Parts usually consist of excessivley angular bodykits, large rear spoilers, neon, sponsor stickers, chrome rims, fake "coffee can" exhaust tips, and loud, annoying paint jobs and/or vynils. So...
just use jake resume
i cant fidn that anymore
anyone received OA from zon?
what position
Back to da grind 
SDE intern
Morning beautiful country of Canada, happy Tuesday!
pay your taxes
gm frens
Gm
i wasn't wishing gm to u
Dam wtf
Dats messed up
gm
U cant wash away my tears that easily
At gym between sets
who said i was employed
i think for u being a discord admin is a fulltime jo
i bet women wont stop fawning over u
i'm jelly 
"so what do u do?" "oh me? i mod a 100k+ discord channel filled with doomers constantly spamming "rope" and then "wagmi" and vacillating between that forever"
*90k+
u giving me factual information about this server when u dididn't really have to is why i make fun of mods
Yes
insallah when i get employed (astaghfirullah, when????? but insalah very soon), i will take a detox from this server
the doomerism is now almost a part of me
joevermaxxing

Well... Canada as a nation created 100 new jobs in December
USA created 300k+
We're fucked 
i need to study economics fr i don't understand how they pull these numbers
Ottawa’s economic growth strategy rests on four shaky pillars: accommodative monetary policy to support interest-sensitive sectors of the economy like credit, housing investment, and durable goods consumption; expansive fiscal policy guided by short-term "guardrails" and lacking a long-term fiscal anchor; record immigration levels to turbocharge...
Would yall choose Shopify or Intuit?
what's the position
and what do you want to do

Which company is generally better?
depends bc intuit offers frontend only roles for example
get offer first
so if you want to do backend that impacts decision
but also yeah don't worry about hypotheticals until you are in a position that it can happen
try to get both and then push one to fall 💪
How do you even move one to fall tho, do you just say you want to do another opportunity in the summer?
you don't need to give so much detail
Oh you can just say
just tell them it works for your timeline better or something
sometimes less is worth more 🔥
and then if they explicitly ask why maybe give it some thought
tbh i wouldn't know what to do if they asked why 💀
It’s joever if they ask why 💀
So if it was intuit front end vs Shopify backend but I wanna do devops
What’s the best choice?
getting an offer from either of them would be the best move forward i think
hypotheticals don't really help because you may never end up in that situation
I will manifest the reality
Real
No point thinking about it
Working hard is better than having these erotic fantasy
It is not erotic. I will enter big tech soon enough
Do u hav interview with them?
It’s good to dream and use imagination
Not at all
I have interview with a startup
It seems to pay 19/hour
did u know amazon is now strict about not doing this in the contract for interns
they said something amongst the lines of that it has to be declined, theres no "pushing" their offer
Do you guys think the Arctic Wolf is a good company?
It is a security company but has a good vision
Yeo damn 💀
ecommerce or tax software
I think e-commerce is cooler
But I also want to join a big techer using it
MS says if you don’t want the location they picked you for you can cancel the interview 💀
id place shopify much higher
Intuit >>
intuit is not a tech company
Intuit has good resume value fs
Everyone I talked to said Shopify is better
I know a Shopify intern from my school
But what is the reason?
people hate intuit
who
Intuit does not give low pay if that’s what you’re asking
they fucking shat on mint which was their only decently consumer friendly product
If it’s high paying why is Shopify preferred(
It’s just because it’s a better product or has a better name?
cuz good products vs shit products
Or tech stack
lmao you can’t relocate with amazon either, too many interns to manage
I guess this is true
only extenuating circumstances can get u a location change
Who says Shopify is preferred?
I’d rather work for Intuit
I asked on the summer intern channel and people were only saying Shopify
Damn fr?
Not sure then
yore wrong
Same

if we're talking hypotheticals, i would rather work for microsoft
i would rather work for wayfair
me too
hypothetically, between all of FAANG, intuit, and shopify, i would pick wayfair
Wayfair seems mid
L take
did you know that wayfair is in the big tech extended universe
your goal is to get into big tech
are we talking shit about shopify?
Wayfair to me is similar to IBM
No we are hyping Shopify
only problem with shop acc to me is they use rails
and they didn't give me (or anyone) ro
have you ever worked at wayfair or ibm/
No
where is your prev experience
Startup 18/hour
That wasn’t there last year?

But I would say anything more than 25/hour is incredible for an intern
Most interns make minimum wage to 23/hour
So above 25 is top 10%
The average new grad probably makes 30-35/hour
the fuck
every company that you've mentioned so far pays more than 30 an hour as an intern
not ibm
ibm pays $32 for 4 month interns
IBM pay is low from what I know
this is word of mouth i got rejected from ibm 💀
also ibm pays at least 90k for new grads
Congrats on IBM no ghost
nah fuck ibm
yeah it was 27 a couple years ago
IBM is an incredible company comparable to the Arctic Wolf
btw wayfair pays $40/hr for interns
Seriously?
i know someone who got $29/hr for pey
structube pays 41/hr
In Canada?
yes in the us its 48
40 in Canada for intern wow..
ddid you know that nvidia laso pays 40
bro gotta be trolling
Ok top 25%
do u think i should still try?
i wouldn't blame you for reneging if they don't let you push 🫡
what is your university if you don't mind me asking
i would
or what city do you search for internships in
I go to Ontario Tech University
saskatoon
One of my favourite things to do is DevOps
I love ci and cd work
And do not like CRUD
uhh
usually devops work is part of a swe's job description
there aren't very many dedicated devops roles
Do you consider cI/cd a good field
i don't particularly consider it a field
i consider it part of the responsibilities for a swe

I see but I can specialize in DevOps?
accept both and then over employ :
hope one of your teams is 2 days rto
and then time one for monday/friday and the other for tuesday/wednesday/thursday
with the money you'd be making from both you can afford it
I have no idea 💀
😭
anyone know if Service Now is good?
i have received a request for a phone screen
and want to know if it is a good company or just another bogus one.
i noticed many fake postings recently or companies that have a good name but still do fake postings
i know they are to enable recruiter to collect stats
or to fill a quota of applicants but to never really read them
i feel that it is a robot reading them
I realy like your pfp
not even human.

thank you
It’s a real company if that’s what you’re asking
I’d say it’s fine yeah
I’ve done 25 leetcode now
Think I’m ready for the big boys.
How many have you all done
Does anyone know any big name companies left to hire for new grad roles in Canada?
1
4
haven't done leetcode in months, just do Uoft CSCc37/CSC373
this is a lie
u can understand the pattern all u want but implementation is what bites u
o u from uoft
You guys are all doing under 10 leetcode and want to succeed?
How is this good for your career healthiness
CSC373 is useless for LC, only helps with DP and advanced graph algos
Hard asf course for no reason
uoft cs is just math theory gymnastics to tire u out so u dont have energy to acc lc and gain real world skills
mfers in 4th year with 4.0 and perf knowledge theory but don't know how to use git properly
name 1 person like that
i know a couple
what they did was for dev heavy courses they form teams where do all the non coding so they get to 4th year and still know 0 dev skills besides scripting
basiclally math majors who dont wanna be math majors
UofT uses git a lot so I fail to believe that
Considering you need to use git to submit stuff
!process hellofresh reject
You can only use this command in 2022_winter_intern_process, 2022_summer_intern_process, 2022_grad_process, 2022_fall_intern_process, 2023_summer_intern_process, 2024_summer_intern_process, 2023_winter_intern_process, 2023_fall_intern_process, 2023_grad_process, 2024_grad_process
You can only use this command in 2022_winter_intern_process, 2022_summer_intern_process, 2022_grad_process, 2022_fall_intern_process, 2023_summer_intern_process, 2024_summer_intern_process, 2023_winter_intern_process, 2023_fall_intern_process, 2023_grad_process, 2024_grad_process
assuming you mean CSCC73, not CSCC37
Anyone know where I can get the Amazon tagged questions? Do I have to get lc premium for those?
Can u use the bot?
No
You need to use git for like 3 mandatory courses to graduate lol
how do you use the bot for the questions?
tbh idk much about uoft cs, but i noticed that i see a lot more 4.0s?
that's a joke
4.0 was rare in my class of '23
theres some dude in my program with an amazing transcript
like a google program i did
uoft cs
i mean they know the basics but anything outside of that spooks them
which campus
scarbs
do yall graduate like together or by campus 💀

i think this guy was sg
idk i aint attending graduation
waste of time plus i dont wanna see anyone every again
i see
too busy doomin sadly
i can see myself at con hall spamming job apps while waiting
no ty

i straight up dont know ass about uoft 💀
watch all the non-cs majors with smiles and happiness
meanwhile all my cs frens are doomin
make a pyramid scheme or a "startup" and then hire everyone around u and inflate the roles
and then disband it and pursue careers in tech
holy fuck ceo wants this project ive been workin on this friday but it was estimated for 2 more weeks
gotta grind this week rip my tickets to rave on thursday
rip networking ☹️
lol
whats up what u been up to lately
just do blind75, if u truly understand how to do every question u can prob solve any question except maybe DP hards (look at 0/1 weigthed napsack problems for that)
^^ +10000
Is hundreds needed?
But I heard a lot of companies will ask outside this list bc it is now standard study prep
Which ones?
idk if they do, my friend got asked a question straight from there for his amazon interview and i got asked one question from there too for my last internship. Even if they ask something different doing blind75 will help u learn all the patterns u need to know
Great that’s good to know
yea its less about learning the questions themselves, but rather most questions ull be asked will be some variation of those 75
hey did anyone receive amazon (canada) OA for 2024 summer today?
anyone here interview for Google Canada? dm pls 🙏
anyone get openai offer Canada? Plz dm
dm'd

Anyone here get service now phone as well?

Bro thinks we cracked

Still cracked
Congrats on Redmond and WS
congrats on madi
what the fuck is up with ruby being used more now ??
i swear the hype was all node before
why am i seeing more ruby roles now
i wish theres more positions so we wont be competing against the same role
its pure rng
WAGMI
i still don't understand how i got the offers




I’m passing at most one interview from them both
combine both and 1 offer
i want free food
zon gives free food
isnt zon only gives banana
@drifting shore what they say to move fall
didnt ask
someone else asked and they basically said no
dont want to email them abt pushing to fall within a week of accepting the offer
anyone moved microsoft to fall?
u already accepted 2 offers for summer?
most likely gonna renege my other offer
two summers ago the shopify cohort was like 200

source?
two summers ago is the golden age
depends on which one no
only 50 ppl submitted or
pr
for backend
the other ones are less ppl but ckmlaratively easier
i wonder how they are going to "grade" them. so many people overengineered, and some only did the minimum
how, did they make frontend for it too or smth
that's workflows manual check
you gotta submit to get it manually verified
ya basically someone took a look of them alr
but then some of early early submission has no check
¯_(ツ)_/¯
oop i submitted the pr link
damn if they put all that work to forget to submit
same
same
anything should be fine
what checkmark?
oh im blind mb
they aren't lol
that's the classic shopify experience, make you do an OA that will never be looked at
(before resume screen)
bruh
🫡 it was a pleasure
i would do the same
so is there any dotnet position in canada
Yeah Microsoft
-_-
Does anyone else feel like this year has had a much bigger uptick in reneging compared to previous years
Cohere in Canada?
Hi all
Does anyone know whether learning a old language is good
Let’s say I want to do Fortran work
Or COBOL
There are benefit?
Anyone know if the economy will recover
i do
I’m genuinely very curious about if my job opening will increase
it will
i do
In the next while
there will
Ok thank you
your welcome
you may
Thank you
there will
Will it go up as well
yes
bros talking to a magic ball
yees
j
how to get zon oa
@mystic gull
thank you
the empty braille does not work anymore
you also forgot to mention that he needs to
Congrats on job job
you too
Actually I only do AlgoMonster🤓
depends
have we given up


Hardly
In my own circles maybe 1 / 20 are getting interviews
And these are all people with silicon valley internships
I applied to both 4months and 8months for rbc swe, but only got an oa for 8months
I selected that I could do both 4 and 8 but would I even be able to just do 4?
Get the offer first fella
For internships, you can ask when you get an offer if they're open to changing it to 4 months
If they don't clarify during the interviews
quit after 4 months
Not tryna grief ww
Id like to add that this is since last may
how big are your circles
This is from asking 50-60 ppl so a pretty small sample size
huge circles
i also want to magically achieve my goals without putting the work in
real
How are there still no jobs
Like is it fr fr Game over for 2024
I’m not particularly watching it but I check biweekly n there’s nothing fr
Hi guy
Just making a wonder right now
Would you prefer a low pay tech or a high pay IT?
Just make a hypo here
All advice is to be considered. Will make a decision and tell you all.
depends on where your priorities are aligned
if i had a mortgage or needed the money in general id do the high pay IT
company name, job title, job responsibilities?
if not and i was investing in myself to make sure i make it to where i want to be, low pay tech
Hi so there is IT analyst position for TD bank and pay is around 30, but there is a swe startup and the pay is around half of it
This is inside Toronto downtown
i'd take TD and move around to whatever career path i wanna take
shopify
Nah they start screening as soon as theyre posted/ people apply
What company are you talking about here?
shopify
how do you know that they're only hiring 30 across all streams?
i think they said it was estimated guess or smth
Please read the message above that 

I didn’t say that, someone else estimated that and I’m just commenting on the estimate
I'm sorry I'm blind 

whatchu gatekeeping for tho 
💀
did you submit the oa?
iirc the selection is rolling and there're almost 300 pr
its the third time someone thought that im the person who pulled the number out of my ass so i deleted it

💀 i understand
the distribution is so different tho
backend had like ~190 forks
only 60
thank you
ig they'll hire more for backend and frontend
less for other
like infra was so ez
i will take the TD Bank. it is double my current salary
more than half the ppl submitted
TD will pay me 27.5/hour for an IT analyst.
u got the offer?
this is a huge change for me...
nice
you did infra?
not yet
nah backend
i got a interview
was it ruby on rails?
ye
but they ask me for transcript but my gpa is low, so i hope they will let me do an interview
td would be more stable but the start up can teach you so much and can really equip you for roles that probably will pay 60-70 an hour but depending on who you are as a person and how much are you willing to give, start up might be toxic so who knows
u can get a 60/hour in canada?
infra was a fcking sudoku 💀
i thought the maximum is probably 35/hr-40/hr
theres some people in this channel making like upwards of 200k lol in canada too
pork chop trolling
is 15/hr even legal?
if you have union fees
how tf? isn't min wage like 16. something?
not 15.
my current salary is 17.5
at startup
well this was my last internship. i dont have a job right now
beefsteak
i decided to renege GaoTek offer
since i have option of a top 4 bank
not option yet, but will be incoming
gaotek top canada tech company
i burned the bridge with GAOTek so it will be poor choice for new grad..
will keep hunting handshake for new opp
i also will like to move lateral
say i go into TD by a miracle
i can do lateral move right
move to cousin, BMO, or cousin JP Morgan
this is a good strategy to get more job in same sector i think..
maybe move to distant cousin bloomberg for a big change.
and visit beautiful city: new york.
anyone interview with Cisco?
anyone interview with arbys?

@broken whale also u know like 10 people who have
hear me out. i think google is better than cisco
they ask to see your portabello mushrooms
That’s that I was thinking
lol
but you need to consider some change.. splunk was absorbed into cisco
so now cisco has splunk inside of it
and is now better than before

i will admit.. splunk is great company better than cisco
workday slow for anyone
most of us unemployed
also ms/amazon sent out oa/interviews
but cisco meraki is on another level
if yall aren't checkin
Amazon ghosted me fr
google > meraki > splunk > cisco > geotab
Joever for that
but it is a close one
between meraki and splunk
both are good
come down to ur preference..
i will provide a hot take. faire > arctic wolf
only 1 replied 😭
the new grad salary of faire is incredible.
nah
arctic wolf i havent' heard as much about
bro I told you how my google interview went
ask ryan for cisco or even gord
not google! Cisco before Google
cisco new grad is 90k...
it is a good salary for a boomer company..
cisco == ibm > geotab
no offer! how enjoy 😭
look
ur going to keep focusing on that you need to get it
and stress yourself out
and then not get it
focus less on the need and more of it as a learning experience
ill be honest
here is real take
splunk > faire > cisco > arctic wolf > ibm == geotab
this is the accurate one..
what about md?
how u know?
pork chop is cisco hiring manager
Real
same as geotab
@quartz ridge wanna hire me
how u know cisco ng salary 90k? @quartz ridge
get offer first

This was for a past year
Few year ago it was this number
It is prob over 100 now
Or around 100
How many leetcode?
Will consider:
-
300 leetcode
- full stack app or chess engine
- 1 research / Google summer of code
-
3.8 gpa
Then can message me…
💀

Using LC count as metric
Some good project ideas that quant and faang recruiters have told me about:
MERN discord clone
Calculator app
Chess engine
Todo list
Tic tac toe game
Automated trading bot
discord bot^
Weather app
I have all of that minus the 3rd but have intenrships
can u hire me
Aren’t you in multiple company pipelines rn
Why is bro dooming
um maybe
internships where
if u have one that's around geotab level or above i'll take u in as an apprentice..
I only have ones that are better?
doubt my friend
is meraki significantly higher
meraki is cracked company
they have a policy where once u get hired you can work remote from everywhere and they match your salary
so Toronto to London to SF to Chicago u can be anywhere
i want to be in mumbai
but i live in the mubmai slums
imagine my TC
$1m usd 
homelss encampment would be suitable since u have a tent and a community imo
Yeah I’ve gotten intel CIBC RBC and IBM
I had to cancel all of them unfortunately so I can’t speak on what they’d ask
I wish I had ur problems
What
Their software dev came out in like November
Ik cause my old manager told me to apply
Oh
Ahhhh old manager
Surprisingly the internship hunt wasn’t horrible this year, but no big tech has ever responded to me in like the three years I’ve been applying
Except for Amazon now

I got a question for all yall new grads that still dont have a job yet. Do you guys know oop? Like if i told you can you make a Person class for a bank could you do it without googling solution? Could you access apis in ur code and use it (weather api/open ai for examples) and do something with them? Do you understand some sql and db relationships? If i told you to design a table could you do it or query a table?
