But youre doing the same thing right now 🤔

[fossil field]

no not at all

i dont have crazy pressure and crazy timeframes

this is something i enjoy and im self led, i get the make the decisions on this project and everything

bruh thats so funny

im playing roblox rn

[azure junco]

why don't you build an ai trading robot inside of roblox?

then sell access to it and collect robux

my millionaire mindset at work

[kind hazel]

just got one, there are more jobs needing english than jobs requiring french

with that being said you re still at a disadvantage

[fossil field]

Nah i wouldnt sell this, it works by trading a crypto smart contract on bnb smart chain where each trade is 5 minutes on up or down. If i sell it then the pool would be smaller for me in turn giving me less $$$

only when it stops working for would i sell it

but then again i would fine tune and create new strategies

But now im working on a trading bot using ml modeling to predict outcome of a stock/etf/asset trained on chart anaylsis and TA. Although it wont be able to predict a year from now since the entire market is built on fluff and speculation, there is short term swing trading opportunities that will follow TA, price action, and chart analysis allowing me to predict price of asset in 1 day, 7 days, 21 days, a month with high accuracy. And then Im going to create a web ui that will allows you to use it and fine tune it and get predictions or even use a strategy bot built into the ui.

I am focusing more on options since you get more return but it is higher risk

anyways back to roblox pet sim 99

[cunning hill]

oh so u had another technical on top of code signal

[crystal comet]

and some background context questions

yeah

they seemed to like me and asked a bunch of questions about my resume cuz they were interested in some of my projects

so i thought i would've heard back by now

but i guess it was all a ruse

[cunning hill]

i dont think a lot of people heard back

[crystal comet]

hopefully

[cunning hill]

maybe theyre just being really selective though lol

[kind tundra]

in my interview, they told me that they wanted to match similarly to the waterloo works timeline

so surely soon

[stone osprey]

Are you loo?

[kind tundra]

yeah

[stone osprey]

Why rbc

Are you 1 year?

[cunning hill]

Which position did you get?

[mellow anvil]

swe but idk the team or anything recruiter didn’t reply back

[analog current]

I saw the fall 2024 SWE but I missed the application deadline and I sent my resume to some guy that works there and he said he sent my resume to the recruiter

So idk when imma hear back for that

[mellow anvil]

ahh gotchu my interview is for summer

but i guess role would be similar

[real island]

Yeah don’t need to be in formal co-op program

[turbid mesa]

Last year around this time I applied for a position and then they were ready to hire me but asked me who’s my co-op advisor then didn’t give me the role

Applied again this year because some of their positions say intern but then also have (co-op) after

So just kinda confusing

[real island]

Oh I think it depends on role then

[magic cave]

Wtf is fatfire

I'm reading these articles and it's like

You make more money than FIRE

"Fat FIRE is similar, but focuses more on abundance. That makes it a sound retirement strategy for high earners who live in an expensive city and are used to pricey meals out and frequent travel to top-end destinations."

And the advantages are that you make more money

Like no shit?

But also one must realize that when you leave work to live in abundance, you're no longer bound to your corporate chains, but to your own carnal desires

Why not just make a ton of money at big tech and then retire with a shitty (but chill) $80k/year job

[short marsh]

is it the growth path interview?

also what position did u apply for?

[azure junco]

What do you do once you FIRE

Like realistically

You spend 10+ years living like shit to save as much as possible

And for what

[magic cave]

30 year GOoon sessh

[short marsh]

ahh nice, well maybe a mix of behavioural and technical with the team idk

i would ask more info

[worldly ridge]

thats prety much it

[azure junco]

But why not just like

Save and invest reasonably

And still enjoy your life

[worldly ridge]

that is what the people there suggest

save and ivnest sou can be financialy free

[azure junco]

so fire is basically just be financially literate

[worldly ridge]

yep

[azure junco]

i always thought fire is like save 80% of your income

[worldly ridge]

they teach stuff like safe withdrawal ratess, minimzie taxes on ur withdrawals whenu withdraw, how much u need to retire, how to budget, rent or get a mortgage, etc

like basic financial stuff eveyrone should know

[worldly ridge]

nahh

u can save whatever money u want

[terse burrow]

do you guys think its better to put money into tfsa or rrsp first

[worldly ridge]

When you want to shield your savings and investments from the drag of annual taxation the standard advice is, unless ...

your employer is matching your RRSP contributions

you are confident that you will contribute in a higher tax bracket than you will withdraw (even when you consider the effect of potential GIS or OAS clawbacks)

you are an American taxpayer

you are trying to maximize the Canada Child Benefit or the Child Disability Benefit

you have a reason to think that you should shield your retirement savings from creditors

you don't trust yourself not to keep dipping into the retirement savings in your TFSA

…you'll probably want to use all of your TFSA contribution room before you contribute to an RRSP.

For more information I suggest that you read these 2 MoneySense articles

http://www.moneysense.ca/save/investing/rrsp/rrsp-vs-tfsa-which-is-right-for-you/

http://www.moneysense.ca/save/retirement/the-savings-struggle/

There’s so much to learn

[fossil field]

right always something new and new tech created

find which sector you want to make an imact in and then grind in that. you will be some fulfilled and happy while making good money

find companies where your impact means more

you will see a fair share

meaning find smaller companies. You will be appreciated

[lapis tide]

what about big companies

[fossil field]

no

not if you want to make a big impact

hes weak

[azure junco]

it's not a contradiction to believe in both of these things

[lapis tide]

[real island]

Nah I go UofT lol

[boreal sorrel]

rip lol,

[proven carbon]

One of my acquaintances and my old TA got new grad offers there

[pine widget]

People outside of the University of Waterloo seem to think that WW is like a restaurant where the university serves jobs on a menu, and you simply choose the one you want. WWs has been a lot worse for me compared to external job searches, because you are literally competing with all these smartasses.

[kind hazel]

ye no waterloo works going to shit is not a benefit to any1 lol

[lapis tide]

said the waterloo student

[kind hazel]

im not a waterloo student .-.

[pine widget]

the only time i got shit ton of interviews was for my 1st coop during fall 21

[real island]

[pine widget]

literally since then the postings has been a lot worse

i feel like 🤡 paying the 750$ every term when i find the jobs on my own

[real island]

Skill issue

[pine widget]

WS, Faire, Tesla, MSFT, Pinterest all external for fuck sake

[nimble crescent]

its ok we still pay for pac expansion even though they finished that long ago 😭

[pine widget]

i applied to them internall multiple times no response

[real island]

Most humble CS student

[pine widget]

not offers, interviews

[pine widget]

i went to pac once in my life and didn't even workout cause its packed

[drifting shore]

benefit me

[real island]

Tbh most loo students I see have mid internships

[nimble crescent]

ya checks out

[real island]

you not in the most 😈

[glossy condor]

university job boards are always shite tbh
only good if they have exclusive stuff

all my internships, i secured through external search.

recruiters literally filter search results for "uoft, waterloo" though so :/

[pine widget]

i've been applying to only US and some top canadian postings for the past 2 coop process, i only got OAs from US startups and interviews from some CAN startups

[glossy condor]

where are the startups at

do they pay ?

[real island]

[glossy condor]

waterloo probably has the most propoganda out of any CS/SE program in canada

is carleton a mid tier school? or is it shitter

isk

idk

[drifting shore]

carleton -> shopify

[pine widget]

However, I can say that many interviewers in the US were aware of the University of Waterloo and mentioned how talented its students are. So, the prestige definitely helped me in securing interviews.

[glossy condor]

one of our alums worked on the thanos facemesh technology
https://www.cbc.ca/news/canada/ottawa/derek-bradley-oscar-winner-film-sciences-1.5012848

[real island]

That’s kinda the main selling point

Even when I was applying to uni most people said they stop using WW after first couple coops lol

[crystal comet]

ngl for startups just track down ones that use tech u know

and cold contact

[glossy condor]

is there a big list
how do u know where they are

[crystal comet]

wdym a big list

the list is as long as the amount of tech startups lol

find them

smh ur a carleton student too... if you had come to the internships panel you could've heard all my startup intern insights...

rbc doomering

mid brings forth mid

[glossy condor]

wow two of them wow theyre taking over

[crystal comet]

lack of offer

i can control it though

i should control it

and yet i'm not

and as such i am a disappointment

yeah

could be harassing directors

[vast aspen]

[real island]

[vivid fiber]

Last year was better

Also rng is a factor

Hopefully next year is better

[stone osprey]

rng?

[stone osprey]

[stone osprey]

[vivid fiber]

Rng = random number generator, which just means luck

ngl I found last year was worse

I got hiring froze on so much

[hallow sapphire]

[vivid fiber]

Nah last year was easier

I recruited for ng last year and did fairly well

[hallow sapphire]

I think I had something like

20 interviews or something

and 90% all forze hiring

[vivid fiber]

Thats unlucky

But from the stats

There are much less job postings and offers this year compared to last year

[hallow sapphire]

hmm maybe I didn't try hard enough

but I've been doing much better this year than last

[vivid fiber]

Maybe you're lucky, maybe you've improved

Who knows

But the amt of offers for new grad and intern are like 60% of last year...

[hallow sapphire]

prob improved if anything

lucky I am not

My offer last year got rescinded

[crystal comet]

[glossy condor]

ibm auto-OA is just crazy considering they shat the bed on the phoenix pay system and cost canadian taxpayers upwards of 2 billion dollars
there are still people who are trying to resolve pay disputes because of it

[azure junco]

Don't you already have an offer

[lapis tide]

congrats on ibm

[crystal comet]

[tender coral]

[lost lark]

[minor pewter]

For those who got selected for either the Growth Path or the Interview straight after that (some got jumped), did y'all get emails from recruiters? I only see my status on portal.shopify.com but I haven't gotten any emails yet

[real island]

For NG?

[lost lark]

Yea

[boreal sorrel]

i’m wondering that too woops

[stone osprey]

is there a githb link for fall internships?

[analog current]

Bruh it just came out how they giving OA so fast

[lucid loom]

Cause they already closed the dumbass application

Fact that we don’t have a GitHub link for NG postings in CA is wild

[analog current]

That’s for grad tho 😭

[lucid loom]

Missed so many things fr

I legit don’t get how y’all r even finding these unless ur lurking on job boards all day

[analog current]

That’s exactly what I’m doing

[lucid loom]

Cause the only way I found Microsoft was some expired link from an old Reddit post lmao

Bruh

[analog current]

Lmao

[lucid loom]

Start a GitHub repo

For all new grad postings

🙏

I’ll ET u 50$ if I get a job from one of ur postings promise

[analog current]

LMAOAAO I need to get a job myself first 😭

[lucid loom]

You’d still be applying to all of them tho

[proven carbon]

Real

[lucid loom]

I don’t think my application will severely impede your progress

Just do it for the culture

Cause I can’t even find one fucking posting bruh

[analog current]

Lmao if I find grad posting I’ll directly send em to you dw 😭

[lucid loom]

Microshit could’ve at least went on linkedin

[lucid loom]

Respects young hustler lemme add you

[analog current]

They did for a couple hours

Then removed it 💀

[weak gazelle]

@lucid loom dont u have google

congrats on google

[lucid loom]

Thank you

Yes but I don’t wna take it

[weak gazelle]

yea google mid

[analog current]

Give it to me then tf

[lucid loom]

Cause they only offered my 950k instead of 951k which I so clearly deserved

And I’m not one to be bullied by corporate America

[analog current]

Lmao

[lucid loom]

Fuck Microsoft tho fr

They got a lot of game dev stuff I actually wanted to do

And I missed it

And I didn’t even see a ping on this channel

Y’all opps fr

[thorny palm]

how's ranking goin on waterloo rn so far?

[lucid loom]

@lapis tide OPP

[lucid loom]

What’s that

[stable ravine]

are you getting any interviews?

I think I can crack any interview at this point but all I'm getting is rejections

[lucid loom]

I’ve probably applied to 5 jobs

Cause I can’t seem to find any openings to save my life

Everytime i look it’s just senior roles listed under linkedins shitbox search engine

[stable ravine]

Idgaf I'm apply to everything I see on linkedin so desperate

[stable ravine]

should kick this hr mfs

[lucid loom]

So acoustic fr

[stable ravine]

don't even know how to post a job on linkedin

[lucid loom]

I aint rly tripping tbh

I’d happily take a break and go around the world atm

Come back and apply when market gets better

[stable ravine]

all I got is rope or grind no other options for me

[worldly ridge]

take a1 year sabatical

[stable ravine]

seems like i gonna take rope soon

[lucid loom]

There’s always other options dawg

Grind is useless if it’s for some mediocrity

[stable ravine]

idc I can jump when the market is good

[lucid loom]

Take a step back and approach it from a spot of what u deserve not what ur given

Idk why but that feels harder to do

[stable ravine]

swe market is testing my limits waiting for my time to gibe back one day

[lucid loom]

I feel like if u have a shitbox company current

They just look at u like a shitbox employee too

[stable ravine]

they only look at where you worked prev

😭

[lucid loom]

Lol it’s all shitbox tbh

[stable ravine]

no matter how cracked you are , you'll get ghosted

[lucid loom]

I’d just take the break atp and go live in Asia for a few months using my tax return

Come back still technically a new grad lmao

[stable ravine]

how?

[lucid loom]

W my mental health repaired

Cause I wouldn’t have professional experience

Graduated within 2024

[stable ravine]

i hope we can apply for 2025 ng positions too

[lucid loom]

U can apply for december roles starting

Or usually u can apply for NG 2025 too

A lot of them just say no professional starting exp

In any case it’s not the end of the world

If u rly desperate work on ur own shit and try to make it

[weak gazelle]

[lucid loom]

Uhh

Not faang

[weak gazelle]

congrats on FAANGMULA

🙂

[lucid loom]

Fuck
