midnight valve
#

do you need to be in a coop work term to get a j1 visa?

real island
midnight valve
#

don't you need like proof of enrollment during your term there?

#

like full time enrollment

real island
midnight valve
#

basically if you are on a official coop work term you are considered a full time student

real island
#

Ohhh right

midnight valve
#

and I keep reading on reddit and stuff people say for the j1 process you need proof of full time enrollment

#

but if I'm just on a break term at school, I can't get documentation saying I'm full time enrolled

real island
#

Oh I see what you mean, do they use the proof from the current term?

midnight valve
#

yea I'm not sure, but surely people not in coop programs have gotten j1 visas before right

real island
#

Yeah ik tons of UofT people who interned at US

#

And they aren’t enrolled in co-op program

quartz ridge

Ik People heavily involved in ubc cs club with sick 1st internships not get zon

And they def don’t favour ubc students

No lol

#

You’re saying you’re school gapped

quartz ridge
#

rng is cope because you can have the best resume

#

and still not get it

#

non-rng is the opposite of cope

#

lolol

If you have best resume you don’t care about Zon

best resume with your experience lol

you can only have a resume as good as your experience

its like 17 buckeronis

react + graph QL

so i see this as a win tbh

#

so all people need to know

#

is that if u develop good soft+hard skills

u can eventually climb the ladder

that's all i have to say to all the doubters

to get into a startup u dont need to be that good

DRW u do

or more condition

#

#

#

so if u have 4 YOE or a referral or if u worked at yahoo

#

#

yahoo or zynga

#

thats not hard for someone with good social sklls like myself

#

being well socialized helps a lot

stable ravine
#

you go to rave?

quartz ridge
#

im a social

stable ravine
#

im anti-social how to become social taking cs has exacerbated my social skills

quartz ridge
#

here's what ill tell u guys ok

#

the key to enjoying life

#

is not to make max money

#

it's actualy to become a competent dev

#

and here is why i say this

#

making money yes u can go on a yacht, yes u can go to dubai

#

yes u can get infinite bubble tea

#

but if u become a good dev

#

u will never have to worry about being laidoff

#

because u can just get a new job

#

so the true thing that brings most ppl stress

#

is acc the fear of no job!

#

because most people have no side hustle...

#

@quartz ridge what are your thoughts on networking with hiring managers at raves

#

Kuro in Canada channel thanospog thanospog thanospog

uneven meteor
#

it’s all about rizz and resume value and politics

uneven meteor
turbid crater
uneven meteor
#

but beyond http/jvm/sql it’s all memes and you just learn it on the job as required

#

as long as you got the basics down and can reliably crack Leetcode rounds and not sound like an idiot talking with 10+yoe devs it’s good , beyond that it’s all diminishing return

turbid crater
#

How do you apply tho 😭😭

uneven meteor
#

Shopify baited me with fake role

#

joever

quartz ridge
magic ether
#

i do 🙂

quartz ridge
#

what is politics then?

#

explain this?

uneven meteor
turbid crater
#

Never thought about that, I was always looking on LinkedIn thank you @safe light

uneven meteor
#

or you’re just 1yoe swe

quartz ridge
#

it does tho

quartz ridge
#

0 yoe

#

well i got laid off

#

lol

#

so i guess i have some past startup exp

#

thats about iut

uneven meteor
#

interns can get laid off?

quartz ridge
#

i got cut because company ran out of budget lol

uneven meteor
#

trust stay away from startups

quartz ridge
#

i didnt get laid off

#

company went bankrupt lmao

uneven meteor
#

the thing is

#

big tech ppl like hm’s etc have been there for 30 years most of them

turbid crater
#

We need to watch a podcast between @quartz ridge and @fossil field

magic ether
#

deadass

turbid crater
#

These guys are the goats

uneven meteor
#

when you start even opening your mouth talking about anything you did in the startup

magic ether
#

dunning-kreuger scale goes crazy for these 2

#

@fossil field where are u?

uneven meteor
#

their brain starts rotting instantly and think you’re an idiot

magic ether
#

I miss u pookie

turbid crater
magic ether
#

PLEASEE

quartz ridge
#

i got

#

it

#

now

uneven meteor
#

also ppl who actually care about this stuff

quartz ridge
#

but amazon

#

is like low af bar

#

and they include it?

#

weird hto

#

amazon intern is just an OA review

magic ether
uneven meteor
#

modern stuff is also a meme coming from ppl who don’t even know how non modern stuff works

quartz ridge
#

and then u get a free conversion to full time

#

frmo that

magic ether
#

amazon rng i promise

quartz ridge
#

but amaozn bar is low for intern

#

its an OA

uneven meteor
#

like saying grpc is better than http over rest is an instant sign of a ngmi dev , you filter/self select yourself out

quartz ridge
#

thats about it

magic ether
#

they didnt send me OA

#

🙂

turbid crater
#

So a tester at zon will be taken but not a tester at google ? Lmao 😂

quartz ridge
#

REST Is useless

magic ether
#

^^^

quartz ridge
#

GRPC Is where its at

magic ether
#

resume screen

#

wait

quartz ridge
#

like think about it

magic ether
#

rest is not useless

quartz ridge
#

why would u ever want to use REST over GRPC

#

theres is 0 use case!!!!

#

lterally 0!!!!

uneven meteor
#

I would tell you

quartz ridge
#

no

#

i go to ontario tech university

#

lol

uneven meteor
#

except you probably have no clue how either works

magic ether
#

LOL

quartz ridge
#

they dont hire from here

magic ether
#

😄

quartz ridge
#

it is ONtario Tech Uni

#

the only place that screened me once was Kinaxis

#

but then they dropped me

#

cuz hey said i was antisocial develoepr

magic ether
#

i use rest cuz i dont wanna deal with protobuf

magic ether
quartz ridge
#

well not antisocial but intentionally silo

magic ether
#

kinaxis is rng btw

quartz ridge
#

like i silo myself from the team

#

its not rng

#

its skill based

magic ether
#

it is

quartz ridge
#

meritocratic

magic ether
#

i asked

quartz ridge
#

like all other companies

magic ether
#

its literally rng

quartz ridge
#

that are worth joining

magic ether
#

i asked my manager bro.

quartz ridge
#

anywhere rng is just not worth it...

magic ether
#

i worked there brother i know

#

some teams randomly select resume from pool of resumes after x amount of days, some teams do FIFO

turbid crater
#

We’re really cooked 😞

magic ether
#

til they find x amount of people they wanna hire

#

makes sense

#

silicon valley thinks really highly of loo

turbid crater
magic ether
#

^^^

#

yep 🙂

#

yeah its shitty

#

i have passed 0 big tech screens and idfk what im doing wrong

turbid crater
#

Example ?

quartz ridge
#

rbc

#

yea but kinaxis

#

is really hard to pass

magic ether
#

no

quartz ridge
#

once u get past the resume screen

magic ether
#

its not 😭

quartz ridge
#

i heard they only take you if you demonstrate lot of potential

#

yes it is

#

bc i didnt pass it and i usually pass stuff at school

#

its similar

#

difficulty, well it should be lol

#

i got a really tough interview with HM of the AI developer squad

#

AI platform team

magic ether
#

i had a 30 min interview where they asked me how to know if a number contains an some element at least n/2 times

#

AI is harder

#

from what I know

#

but i dont think its crazy

magic ether
#

no

#

its unsorted

#

hashmap

#

or sort

#

technically you could binary search once its sorted

quartz ridge
#

but yeah

#

where have u interviewed thats harder than kinaxis?

magic ether
#

hashmap faster

quartz ridge
#

for me it was very hard lol

magic ether
#

no where lol

quartz ridge
#

the guy just asked me so many weird qustions

magic ether
#

RBC i guess

quartz ridge
#

that i couldnt answer at all lol

magic ether
#

but that was cuz it was system design

quartz ridge
#

oh i heard @unreal field knows all the rbc recruiters

#

prob ask him for a rbc nepo

magic ether
#

i was offered dw brotha

stable ravine
#

😲

quartz ridge
#

and some other weird stuff

#

like what is differnece betwen kNN and decision tree

#

and some AI shit

#

i dont know all that

magic ether
#

whats annoying about kinaxis intern is that its trivia

quartz ridge
#

its weird af to ask an intern that stuff lmao

#

he was like explain what is RAG

magic ether
#

i did get random trivia

quartz ridge
#

0 leetcode

#

just random AI trivia

stable ravine
quartz ridge
#

i had 0 idea how to respond lol

fossil field
#

Is it for ai engineer position?

quartz ridge
#

yea

#

he asked me like

stable ravine
quartz ridge
#

what is diff between some random ML stuff

fossil field
#

Hell yea I can help u out of u need it

quartz ridge
#

bro that would be amazin

#

u are good at AI

fossil field
#

I’m ai engineer

quartz ridge
#

wow

#

that is so cool

magic ether
#

OMG @turbid crater LOOK LOOK

fossil field
#

I’m working on ai project rn lol

magic ether
#

LOOK LOOK LOOK

stable ravine
quartz ridge
#

damn it's hard talking to myself

fossil field
#

Started as full stack 3 months ago and then got promoted to ai engineer after first month

turbid crater
quartz ridge
#

i need someone else to type for me

fossil field
#

But yea ai is sick asf and so fun to work with

turbid crater
#

Bro this is gonna be epic

magic ether
#

ai is fun 😄

quartz ridge

OMMMGGGG

fossil field

Lmao

magic ether
#

OMGGGG

#

stable ravine
magic ether
#

they are the same person

quartz ridge
#

fossil field
#

Actually had to work with the cto today to fix the deepgram api crashing our phone system

quartz ridge
#

i went from full stack -> ai engineer and going to become the ceo/cto of a big corporation moving forward. deep diving into some ai research soon

magic ether
#

Andre do you think you are senior level?

stable ravine
#

by any chance is pork chop andreml and dude is usiing two devices to chat with himself

quartz ridge
fossil field
#

But def not a senior lol I’m still not experienced like that

#

But I do know my shit

quartz ridge
#

I know a lot

magic ether
#

Okay code is just code?

fossil field
#

My dads a senior developer and I’ve been learning to code since I was 8

quartz ridge
#

I just use GPT to produce senior level code.

fossil field
turbid crater
fossil field
#

For what?

magic ether
#

GPT does not produce senior level code imo. it cannot help design complex systems 😄

turbid crater
magic ether
#

well it can, but not as good as a senior

quartz ridge
fossil field
quartz ridge
#

You use it to generate a skeleton

#

And then plcuk around it

magic ether
#

i get that but it generally wont generate the best solution for you imo.

fossil field
#

And then you make ur code and put it back to gpt and ask to make it more effiecnet and follow best coding practices

magic ether
#

you have to have a lot of domain knowledge

fossil field
#

Trust me I’m doing the work of 3 developers with me and gpt

magic ether
#

bro it cant solve leetcode questions it hasnt seen before most efficiently

fossil field
#

Ur not using it right

quartz ridge
#

u can easily make it senior level

#

with some prompt engieneering

fossil field
#

Also I have my own gpt intwrface and using open ai api

#

Yea what pork said

magic ether
#

You have to know what you're talking about to get it to do that

#

@unreal field IM SAYING

quartz ridge
#

but yeah if u learn

#

to use gpt

#

well

#

u can easily rise to senior

#

with speed.

#

.

fossil field
# turbid crater Like to get in

My advice is not to apply to bit companies very low chance to get in unless uoft or Waterloo. Apply to small-mid tier companies

quartz ridge
#

i had to apply to 1k+

#

to land myh first job

#

u really need to spam apply

#

for best result..

fossil field
#

Me at 1400 lol

#

But didn’t get job through applying

quartz ridge
#

i got it from nepo

#

through a friend

#

but still

magic ether
#

go to hackathon?

quartz ridge
#

it was worht the grind

fossil field
#

Hahah same connections

weak gazelle
fossil field
#

Not nepo it’s connections baby

quartz ridge
#

yeah connection for me

#

not direct family

fossil field
#

That’s the best way to get a Jov

quartz ridge
#

was from a connection

#

as well.

fossil field
#

And I’ve been telling people stop focusing on applying only focus on connections

#

You’ll get a job way easier and faster

quartz ridge
#

not gonna li

#

ai will rule hte universe

#

u relaly have to hop into ai asap

#

or u will fall behind

#

and get replaced....

magic ether
#

the ceo asked me how my dad was

weak gazelle
magic ether
#

super easy interview

fossil field
#

Yea these senior devs at my work refuse to use it and they are much slower than me with ai

magic ether
#

does ur company allow GPT?

weak gazelle
#

his network almost entirely consists of ML OOP senior engineers

fossil field
#

Yea a lot of people use it

magic ether
#

ChatGPT 😄

fossil field
#

I use it in front of cto

magic ether
#

what is a model?

fossil field
#

Bruh nulname

magic ether
#

what is neuralnet?

fossil field
#

Idk if ur serious but that’s uneducated

magic ether
#

what is kNN

#

what is linear optimization

weak gazelle
#

@fossil field is ur CTO older than you

fossil field
#

Sigmoid function.

fossil field
#

I’m 52

magic ether
#

how old are u Andre

#

oh

fossil field
