guys its not end of the world
if u dont land an insane coop tho
ive seen ppl transition from super mid new grad companies
to top tier ones
theres alwyas time lol
dont beat urself up ngl
I've seen people just sleep on small local company then jump to big tech
New grad interviews are tough
I would rather do intern interviews than Ng
And then convert
that is always the plan
Ng is 6 rounds 😱
3 private bathroom tho
no response from them
ye but when u jump companies
bruh u have to do 6 rounds
better get used to it now
xD
brother for that price in mtl you would get a nice ass sunrise view every morning without ur roommate yelling at u
guys
is it too little
yeah shit is ass
wait im curious
that I only applied to 50 internships for this summer? I only applied to the Canadian ones
Waterloo
ye no its worse now
is worse
i feel like similar tho
but no waterloo rent is worse
damn
last time I check
starlust is not
get to 500 pump up those rookie numbers
this guy told me hes jobless lol
liar?
no that's WLU
arent u faang starlust?
everyone I talked to at loo that got their first coop has 300+ app lol
lmao
u can even see the stats on their subreddit
how are you all applying to 300 internships?
into thinking u were not a capper.
or do they include US ones?
include US probs
Wilfred Laurier University
where’d you intern before rbc
University of Waterloo
loo's funnier brother
kinaxis and a startup
are different
get in that fintech grind
W
bro rbc pays well no?

damn HR networking actually work?
mid to high 20s for intern
u can negotiate to min 32
yeah true
i didnt cuz only offer
i got offer in oct i think
thanks
damn offer in oct for summer
amplify seems really cool
thats crazy
well cuz they do that shit really early cuz its not a reg internship
I just want a US offer tbh
its like a 4 month hackathon and then present to execs
this
idk if I’ll get one lol, but gonna try for fall or winter
so sad to se this channel vs the 2024summer channel
we are just citizenship diffed
😭
true
heard some people getting offers though, so gonna try
born in a slightly less good place lol
why?
because that's the US?
even look at the location section lol
and that one is like faang city
there's a lot of canadians I know
my roommate got an offer from both Wayfare and Amazon
getting offers tho
where tho'
and now I feel like a failiure 😭
i got no response from wayfair
microsoft, google, amazon, jane street, databricks, notion, ramp, etc.
is founding a startup with his friends
what school? thats crazy u know so many ppl
ubc
I thought that too Lool
idk anyone with good offer except american citizen
🤣
omg how did you know?
they're all mostly just canadians
I thoughts he was queens
@tough knot wait we go to same school
mutual friend you mean
wdym
nah, im just in that one for fun lol
ye
bro blackberry and Nokia need to stop ghosting me
they only hire kids in Ottawa
Same with Cisco
Cisco is hard af 💀
actually if u have a chance to go to a techfair that cisco attends
thats a golden ticket
lowkey if you got into the same room as an engineer manager then its a free W
no way it’s gotten to a point where we need to voyage for jobs
whats open for fall 2024?
blackberry is going up in fire rn
well the university i wanted to get a master in gives alot of ai/ml classes. Idk if it's possible to do a master while working full time but if it's the case, it seems like a safe option
just gotta get my PR first
Did anyone get next round snowflake ?
Did anyone here submit Shopify's technical challenge?
Not sure what GitHub link to use when submitting - the forked repo link or the PR link
Got the OA... Didn't even do it
It wasn't too bad
Do u guys have any resources to practice for behaviourals
What’s the name of the fair ?
No
What's Grad(PIP)
Any NGers in this chat?
was Nokia a good exp?
Looking for some NG role.
Nokia is great!
They have a Future Tech intner program
intern
for high schoolers
need to transfer to Carleton fr
did anyone just get nasdaq verafin (intern) transcript request? is this auto
Why would transcript be auto 😂 😂 😭
idk bro it doesnt say my name i also dont trust it
barely getting any responses
paranoia
Are auto transcripts legal?
yea i got an email
cuz i think cse was requesting transcripts seemed like that was auto
could be wrong
do you need to be in a coop work term to get a j1 visa?
No I will be interning in the US and I’m not in co-op
don't you need like proof of enrollment during your term there?
like full time enrollment
Not too sure how it works since they didn’t start the process for me yet, but do you mean like doing school and co-op at the same time? Or?
basically if you are on a official coop work term you are considered a full time student
Ohhh right
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
Oh I see what you mean, do they use the proof from the current term?
yea I'm not sure, but surely people not in coop programs have gotten j1 visas before right
Yeah ik tons of UofT people who interned at US
And they aren’t enrolled in co-op program
that's false
What false?

congrats on USD
Congrats on H1B lottery
damn i guess shopify sending out the internship rejections 😭
I think they pay ridiculously low for hs interns
this is an old ss I can pull but it’s why everyone goes to RBC instead
Cute program though
after oa?
yeaa did the technical frontened one
no
no clue it was uOttawa
where
its huge to have an internship before uni, it's not even about pay
imagine going in as a freshman with 1 inter ship under ur belt
its huge
i agree, im just saying that rbc takes up the hs talent
i did a hs internship program myself
high schoolers doing internships now
almost 4th
crazy
some people just dont do any so its good that youre trying ykwim
Job LLC
Not really , needs some bigger names
Joever for bro
this is some bulll sheeeyt
citadel crud
like its trash?
how come tho
i thought it was decent
That resume will get u on a blacklist at any company
why tho
can u explain how its bad
Just a bunch of mickey mouse shit
Nothing of substance
Person could have gotten better value by volunteering at a dog shelter
Truth
What's the difference
congrats on yahoo
just did DRW OA
my q was weird
my final one
i feeeeel like i coulda done it in one pass
but
i had to do 2
because i needed to get the maxL and the minR at the same time
i couldnt think of anything
😄
so i calced minR before and did maxL during solve phase
anyone have any ideas how I coulda done that?
Bro they're trolling
theyre just messing with me?
@tender coral
damn man
no body serious about being a good engineer nowadays
everyone just dropping memes on me for no reason
...
no need to worry, everyone here is an unemployed loser with 0 tech experience
unlike @weak gazelle who works at G and purchased a condo in harborfront
when i get an offer from mcdonalds, i will tell @weak gazelle and make sure i get an invite
that'll do it
Unpopular opinion: the rarer the internship in big tech the better it looks in recruiter eyes.
As long as you are in big tech you’re good imo
I worked at Walmart but whenever I mention it people think I was a shelf stocker
I worked at Mindgeek but whenever I mention it people think it makes sense because Im very physically attractive
W
what
Amazon has lost all value
eveyrone and their mothers has amazon
for real man
wbu?
dont want amazon
lolol
would rather go to something like Nokia
than Amazon
microsof?
ya
true
lol
its more like
SAP -> Zon -> MS lol
esp for them van kids
at ubc
Cap
same
My dad would disown me if I did Nokia
my mom is actually a lesbian
idk what lesbians think of nokia
screw amazon though
2
Grats on Zon
i am going to the g instead
Réal
But u can’t really say this cuz you don’t have it
not cap lol
UBC is literally the biggest SAP feeder @broken whale
lol
does your cat mew a lot? has a sharper jawline than mat rife
nothing guarantess anything ngl
stop mozilla man
congrats on Netflix
nah two sigma
So why u say sap -> zon -> MS?
ive seen a lot of people go from sap -> zon
and plus zon is based in Vancouver
usually they favour local ppl
that's always been the case for companies
Not true again
how so?
Zon is rng
backed by what data?
Backed by fax 📠
Ik People heavily involved in ubc cs club with sick 1st internships not get zon
like i said ur not guaranteed zon
cherrypicking some people to disprove the premise doesnt work
ur just favoured if u go to UBC
Yeah cos zon rng
And they def don’t favour ubc students
lol ur not backing up what ur saying
ur just repeating that it's rng over and over again
Issok lil bro
hopefully you come back next time with some data instead of being a broken record and saying "it's all rng" 10x
💀💀💀
do it if it helps your case
probably better evidence than repeating your catchphrase
Okk lil bro
@real island worked at Zon
@glad echo tell this man

im saying zon favours Vancouver people
No lol
how so
They pay housing to everyone anyways
well if you go to waterloo
Charmander can attest that Zon doesn’t hire from UBC
So doesn’t matter
you will be favoured regardless
that’s the first time anyone’s asked about her routine. yes she does
but i am saying that amazon favors ubc peeps
Cope
But fax is it’s rng
it's not rng lol
Ok
you think they take a pile of resumes
UBC is the best CS uni in Canada
why wouldn’t Amazon prefer ubc students
lol how is that cope
Lmfao bro just said ubc mow waterloo 

Aww
rng is cope because you can have the best resume
and still not get it
non-rng is the opposite of cope
lolol
huh
What does this mean
you don't know what a stepping stone is?
No
you think the average cs major goes from 0 -> js?
best resume with your experience lol
you can only have a resume as good as your experience
but if you're saying Zon literally just pulls resumes out from an rng machine, that's cope
lol
💀💀💀💀💀
yeeesh sure i did
💀
pull up another one big boi
Fr
I already lost some today
😂
I have MSFT Redmond idc about Zon lol
💀💀💀💀
Oh damn! Like u did bwhahahahahaha
clearly no soft skills tho
I passed google
Microsoft assess behavioural a lot lol
Go cope in ur dorm room lil bro
nah msoft is just leetcode
Lmfao i am out
like most big tech
why u mad
Lol
lololol

Stop
peace
Go get ur first internship
mods please delete channel
Guys wealthsimple vs Intuit vs adobe but I don’t have any of the offers???
it's not tho
thats the thing
if ur competent
u will land something good
they all coping because they havent put in the work
if ur a good engineer u will do well!
all the rng ppl are copin hard 🙂
that's how it is
Well yea but surely not every recruiter who sees your resume will have a bad day
if you have a desirable skill set u will make it
Has anyone ever done a panel interview at IBM (Payments center) ??
🧢 🧢🧢🧢
i'm saying if ur a good engineer
u will get hired
and if u have a solid skill set
u will 100% make it in the industry
no doubt about it
i found one
but it pays under 20 bucks
but im happy with it
its like 17 buckeronis
but im still learning a modern tech stack
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
like think about it like this
if ur working at a startup
making 15 / hour
but ur using React + Graph QL
That’s cope
and some guy is at DRW making 90/hour
working on CRUD
who do u think will win?
it's ofc the start up guy
who is using modern tech
like think about it
DRW
the software landscape
people in cs for money
is changing all the time
if ur learning some outdated fortran
ur gonna become obselete
even if u have a big name
on ur resume
no?

lol 100% DRW
they dont filter based on company
like the ATS is keyword search
based on like tech
not company name
learning frameworks is not that hard being a good engineer is hard
drw is an oa and a technical leetcode
u just need to be a leetcode monkey
and u will make it
but to be a good dev
u need to know how to communicat
e
well
..
well theres a reason its easier to get into startups...
pork chop be cooking and it's inedible
just*
fr, there was barely any Vancouver people lmfao
congrats wtf
where

Come to ma crib
completely replace REST APIs
i spent hundred of hours
debugging and using REST
but now we will have a shift
a big one as well
to using GRaph QL
ill link everyone the documentation
@quartz ridge when are you graduating?
this will change ur life especially if u do CRUD.
well. it will be this year.
im just warning that CRUD will be changed with this new technology
u can just query what u wanna see
not the whole thing
it's really efficient IMO.
isn't graphql old?
those who dont see benefit of these new tech
like graph ql
or something like grpc
will just fall behind in industry
Bro wastes his whole day trolling on discord
these older technolgies will fade out
Pork chop is cracked as fuck lol
Peak life
least cracked troll
Pls review my resume
but can you invert a tree?
this does not matter at all
leetcode is truly truly for losers
no one ever becomes a senior engineer
using leetcode
But we all have to play this game
tru im a lc monkey and I'm jobless
the only way to become senior is to become a better dev
take on more scope
be a leader
thats it
leetcode is for monkey in animal kingdom
dont join this.
Steven 2.0
steven and andre not trolling tho
this guy is just wasting his time on a cs discord trolling on purpose
💀💀💀💀💀💀
the cutting edge/modern stuff is useless lol , absolutely useless to know
the big tech HM will die inside when he gets n’th startup employee coming to them talking about “modern technologies”
messi don't leave cscd and rejoin challenge
andreblockchainnow*
modern tech is very sueful
its how u grow
think about it
what makes u grow more
doing Pascal or writing Ruby on RAils?
u realy cannot compare tehse tech stacks....
think about it right
use the brain and analyze candidate A) fortran deveolper 14 YOE
vs candidate B) 1 YOE as a graph QL + react + jenkins specialist
who are u choosing here?
ofc B. he has taste of modern tech.
simple choice... for any competent hiring manager.
someone who can reverse a ll
not true
u need 1
or more condition
not all
at least 1
so if u have 4 YOE or a referral or if u worked at yahoo
ur ok
yahoo or zynga
thats not hard for someone with good social sklls like myself
being well socialized helps a lot
you go to rave?
im a social
im anti-social how to become social taking cs has exacerbated my social skills
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

being a competent dev is like step 0 but it has massive diminishing returns
it’s all about rizz and resume value and politics
obviously if ur doing Ruby it’s rope
On god
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
How do you apply tho 😭😭
Need Canada
Shopify baited me with fake role
joever
r u serious? so ur sayig it only matters ur leetcode skills?
i do 🙂
I can’t tell if ur trolling
Never thought about that, I was always looking on LinkedIn thank you @safe light
or you’re just 1yoe swe
it does tho
im an intern
0 yoe
well i got laid off
lol
so i guess i have some past startup exp
thats about iut
interns can get laid off?
i got cut because company ran out of budget lol
trust stay away from startups
We need to watch a podcast between @quartz ridge and @fossil field
deadass
These guys are the goats
when you start even opening your mouth talking about anything you did in the startup
their brain starts rotting instantly and think you’re an idiot
I miss u pookie
Please someone make it happen PLEASE 🙏
PLEASEE
also ppl who actually care about this stuff
but amazon
is like low af bar
and they include it?
weird hto
amazon intern is just an OA review
modern stuff is also a meme coming from ppl who don’t even know how non modern stuff works
amazon rng i promise
like saying grpc is better than http over rest is an instant sign of a ngmi dev , you filter/self select yourself out
thats about it
not true
So a tester at zon will be taken but not a tester at google ? Lmao 😂
REST Is useless
^^^
GRPC Is where its at
like think about it
rest is not useless
why would u ever want to use REST over GRPC
theres is 0 use case!!!!
lterally 0!!!!
I would tell you
except you probably have no clue how either works
LOL
they dont hire from here
😄
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
i use rest cuz i dont wanna deal with protobuf
rip
well not antisocial but intentionally silo
kinaxis is rng btw
it is
meritocratic
i asked
like all other companies
its literally rng
that are worth joining
i asked my manager bro.
anywhere rng is just not worth it...
i worked there brother i know
some teams randomly select resume from pool of resumes after x amount of days, some teams do FIFO
We’re really cooked 😞
til they find x amount of people they wanna hire
makes sense
silicon valley thinks really highly of loo
^^^
yep 🙂
yeah its shitty
i have passed 0 big tech screens and idfk what im doing wrong
Example ?
no
once u get past the resume screen
its not 😭
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
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
is this binary search
no
its unsorted
hashmap
or sort
technically you could binary search once its sorted
hashmap faster
for me it was very hard lol
no where lol
the guy just asked me so many weird qustions
RBC i guess
that i couldnt answer at all lol
but that was cuz it was system design
i was offered dw brotha
he asked me what is the difference betwen goroutine and a thread
and some other weird stuff
like what is differnece betwen kNN and decision tree
and some AI shit
i dont know all that
whats annoying about kinaxis intern is that its trivia
i did get random trivia
why? did you ask him which one is better grpc or rest?
i had 0 idea how to respond lol
nope
Is it for ai engineer position?
you should have interview is both way
what is diff between some random ML stuff
Hell yea I can help u out of u need it
I’m ai engineer
OMG @turbid crater LOOK LOOK
I’m working on ai project rn lol
LOOK LOOK LOOK
teach me senpai
damn it's hard talking to myself
Started as full stack 3 months ago and then got promoted to ai engineer after first month
omggg
i need someone else to type for me
But yea ai is sick asf and so fun to work with
Bro this is gonna be epic
ai is fun 😄
but yeah im working close to the CTO now
OMMMGGGG
Lmao
what do you do with ai?
they are the same person
gonna get promoted
Actually had to work with the cto today to fix the deepgram api crashing our phone system
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
Andre do you think you are senior level?
by any chance is pork chop andreml and dude is usiing two devices to chat with himself
Meh stay jealous
i am you
No, but I produce intermediate to senior level code
But def not a senior lol I’m still not experienced like that
But I do know my shit
I know a lot
Okay code is just code?
My dads a senior developer and I’ve been learning to code since I was 8
I just use GPT to produce senior level code.
Exactly
What is your opinion on some big companies being just luck ?
For what?
GPT does not produce senior level code imo. it cannot help design complex systems 😄
Like to get in
well it can, but not as good as a senior
pure RNG
Not using it as copy and paste using it as brainstorming and setting up the bones
i get that but it generally wont generate the best solution for you imo.
And then you make ur code and put it back to gpt and ask to make it more effiecnet and follow best coding practices
you have to have a lot of domain knowledge
Trust me I’m doing the work of 3 developers with me and gpt
bro it cant solve leetcode questions it hasnt seen before most efficiently
Ur not using it right
You have to know what you're talking about to get it to do that
@unreal field IM SAYING
but yeah if u learn
to use gpt
well
u can easily rise to senior
with speed.
.
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
i had to apply to 1k+
to land myh first job
u really need to spam apply
for best result..
go to hackathon?
it was worht the grind
Hahah same connections
Why don’t u just get good instead
Not nepo it’s connections baby
That’s the best way to get a Jov
And I’ve been telling people stop focusing on applying only focus on connections
You’ll get a job way easier and faster
not gonna li
ai will rule hte universe
u relaly have to hop into ai asap
or u will fall behind
and get replaced....
the ceo asked me how my dad was
That is why Andre is focusing on ML
super easy interview
Yea these senior devs at my work refuse to use it and they are much slower than me with ai
does ur company allow GPT?
his network almost entirely consists of ML OOP senior engineers
Yea a lot of people use it
ChatGPT 😄
I use it in front of cto
what is a model?
Bruh nulname
what is neuralnet?
Idk if ur serious but that’s uneducated
@fossil field is ur CTO older than you
Sigmoid function.
oh
