[tough knot]

what program

[tame grove]

ECE

ok ya ig then

Honestly I think maybe if I become like one of those linkedIn influencers it might boost me up a bit

[tough knot]

have you been applying to all the positions on the coop board?

[drifting shore]

Don’t sell ur soul

[tame grove]

I might change but for now I am not starting uni until later so in my free time I tought maybe ill try software

[tame grove]

nah am not a student yet

[tame grove]

FAANG > Soul for me tbh

I realized I dont like hardware that much

and want big buck

[real island]

You gonna CRUD?

[tame grove]

maybe ill do applied math

true but if I wanted stability I would've not came here

[tough knot]

just become a ceo and make millions

[real island]

[tough knot]

that's how it works, no?

[tame grove]

maybe but I need experience first

[real island]

Real

[tough knot]

was trolling

but

there are also hs internship programs

[tame grove]

ehh maybe when am older its easier to transition to ECE maybe a masters but going from another field to CS is really hard

[tough knot]

you can try those (rbc has one)

[tame grove]

hardware I can maybe change to if CS doesn't work out yknow

[tame grove]

rbc like the bank?

[tough knot]

yeah, some companies have internships specifically for hs students

[tame grove]

I joined 1A last year then defered

[real island]

Wait you go loo?

[tame grove]

thats cool

[rugged spade]

they have that innovation thing

[tame grove]

ya

[real island]

Nice

[tame grove]

You cry after exams or nah

i was replying to the UofT guy

[real island]

Wait 💀

Hyper?

Nvidia based asf dream company fr

[tame grove]

Man that's the thing I tell myself that am young maybe I should try go for software before uni and see if it works out then if it doesn't I can do hardware later. But vice versa is really hard

Man its a tough choice and am scared I will lose it

I didn't know that but Anyway you get my point

thats what am saying you can just change to hardware later but oof if you get to CS without 100 interships first your done for

I heard that hardware if kind like a field that pays ok but is stable.

I thought companies dont care about that

really?

dude I saw those software internships even they pay more than hardware

[real island]

For internal job boards they def do

[tame grove]

you mean for the ones partnering with the uni ya I guess

[real island]

Yeye

[tame grove]

am not even in uni yet I defered but ill keep that in mind

[real island]

Cus your competition is your peers

[tame grove]

there not alot of hardware guys anymore tho

even ECE has less now

[rugged spade]

wdym

theres so many @-@

[tame grove]

tbh its not the pay am more interested in like futuristic stuff like AI yknow

ya ya ik specialize early

[rugged spade]

i think its good to explore diverse experiences when u have the time to, such as uni :p

[tame grove]

will hardware ever be irrelevant cause the way I see it is Software if oversaturated sure but its still essential and evolving as if everything is going software

oh

that is the best advice just be really good at anything

[fossil field]

for real

you will never be jobless if you know backend and a touch of frontend

[tame grove]

the number of transistors is slowing down in growth and we are reaching a point where hardware isnt evolving as fast anymore atleast thats what I saw in a youtube vivdeo

[drifting shore]

just git gud

[tame grove]

ya am trying to go to backend

ya ig

[rugged spade]

you can “get good” at smth but u will never know what to get good at until u explore it

[tame grove]

🤔

[real island]

Ye but everyone and their mother applying to software jobs if you wanna apply there

[rugged spade]

@real island hi charmander

[worldly ridge]

prodigy + connectuons = success

[tame grove]

ya but the salaries are only getting higher and higher its like software being super oversaturated doesn't change the pay at all

[worldly ridge]

tool monkey = homeleess

[tame grove]

connections > anything

[worldly ridge]

true

[tame grove]

not always true if you have credibility and alot of connections doesn't matter how over saturated it is

[fossil field]

this

[tame grove]

ill check it out later ill just save it

[fossil field]

ive been repeating this in this chat for months lol

[worldly ridge]

@errant flame how maany leetcodes today?

[tame grove]

oh

true but most ECE workers wont go above 200k either if you just get that one FAANG interview try avoid the layoff maybe like 40 percent you can make a career out of it

[worldly ridge]

what if i am the ceos son

what if im bezos son

checkmate

[tame grove]

if i don't get into a FAANG internship then ya ill go more on hardware or maybe applied math and not risk it but hey I might aswell try yknow

[worldly ridge]

checkmate so conectjons r everyting

[tame grove]

if your dad is VP why are you even working 🤔

[worldly ridge]

ikr

[rugged spade]

fr

[worldly ridge]

yo

[tame grove]

its just that excitement of being in FAANG then quiting right before your laid off and saying EX FAANG is the rush that makes me want to join this mess

[rugged spade]

wsp

[rugged spade]

😭😭😭

wth

[tame grove]

am joing

joking

but I still wanna go to FAANG atleast

if things go south then hardware it is

or maybe ill just give up early and go hardware

idk

[drifting shore]

[worldly ridge]

[rugged spade]

[tame grove]

[magic ether]

hi

[hot rapids]

oh dayum where you going :o

[frail wedge]

Hello everyone, I have recently received an offer for a Dev-Ops position. I wanted a SWE position instead, but that is just the only one I got. Should I take it?

I am just worried because I just heard that Dev-Ops are a modern system admins, get paid less than SWE, and it may be hard to go back into SWE once I get a Dev-Ops position on my resume.

[fiery prism]

You have any other pipelines besides that

[quartz ridge]

Anyone know if SAP is better than Cisco?

[magic ether]

no

[quartz ridge]

It’s worse?

[magic ether]

probs

[quartz ridge]

How about Arctic Wolf or AutoDesk

How do those compare to Cisco and SAP?

[magic ether]

idk tbh

i think cisco has great name recognition

so cisco > artic = sap = auto

maybe im wrong

someone correct me here

thats just what my intuition tells me

[stone osprey]

Arctic is good

[quartz ridge]

Arctic vs AutoDesk?

[stone osprey]

Arctic

[quartz ridge]

Do u know their pay?

I think auto pays like 30

[magic ether]

probs ya

[quartz ridge]

They also 30?

[magic ether]

arctic is way higher i think

look at their levels

[quartz ridge]

I heard Cisco is like 40-45

Which is just crazy territory for Canada

[magic ether]

yeah

arctic is 29 us/hr

but ya cisco is rlly good

[quartz ridge]

How about GeoTab or DayForce/Ceridian?

[stone osprey]

wtf ceridian

[quartz ridge]

ceridian is gone

it got rebranded to dayforce

also how? geotab is tiny

[worldly ridge]

Unicorn

[real island]

Dayforce is a unicorn?

[worldly ridge]

Geotba

[real island]

Oh waits

Read wrong

[worldly ridge]

geotab > quant > faang >all

[quartz ridge]

geotab

is tellecoms

unicorn my butt!

no there is bell and geotab

[real island]

How was wealthsimple final?

[turbid crater]

I thought geotab was geolocation

[quartz ridge]

what do u mean?

i was not selected

[quartz ridge]

no geotab is telecom based in missisauger

[real island]

[turbid crater]

Oh

[real island]

I thought you got it

[quartz ridge]

no that selection didnt work

in my favor

i was ridiculed by the interviewer for working at gaotek spinoff

[lapis tide]

what is this soinoff?

[real island]

Oh rip

[quartz ridge]

gaotek 2.0

@lapis tide

[real island]

So you do work at cohere

[quartz ridge]

wealthsimple has declined me for all positions

[real island]

You jsut said you didn’t get the offer

[quartz ridge]

due to limited headcount

[real island]

Nice edit

[quartz ridge]

@real island u think i can get better luck?

[real island]

And refer me

[quartz ridge]

im not there sir

[worthy fjord]

telematics

[vague totem]

Anyone here work at onespan?

[kind hazel]

I mean the title doesnt really mean that much, a SWE role could essentially you doing ops for all you know

if its an intern position, take it

if its a ft then idk :v

[flat stream]

me too 😖

genuinely don’t know what i did wrong in the interview

[tough knot]

If it’s a big company, you can always ask for swe work

[sour locust]

ik alot of people cisco name > sap but from the internship experiences, I've heard cisco was kinda ass

sap is completeley team dep lol

[sour locust]

take it and keep seacrhing!

[fluid harness]

Why do ppl shit on gaotek

[hasty crow]

Hey, please did anyone here interview for Amazon last week?

[stone osprey]

intern or ng?

i didnt lol just asking

also hey manitoba!

[hasty crow]

intern

[stone osprey]

fall or summer?

[hasty crow]

summer

[stone osprey]

damn awesome homie

[quartz ridge]

heard concur is pretty good, all the agile HANA devloper stuff is just QA

[quartz ridge]

rough presentation part, coding was free right

gaotek is good

[flat stream]

honestly dude i felt confident asl after the presentation

[sour locust]

even for hana it depends on team

[flat stream]

like genuinely had no idea what went wrong

[sour locust]

my friend is there rn and getting to do new stuff

but ik alot of hana teams are just qa lmao

concur team looks very nice tho

[quartz ridge]

yeah dunno they seem to take mostly waterloo people

im not loo so i got reject

[flat stream]

yea me neither but weird ass hiring req if they let us pass to the final

[quartz ridge]

yah i heard all the agile developer roles

are pure qa

[quartz ridge]

yeah i dont think everyone passed coding round

[quartz ridge]

they changed concur logo to be same as SAP logo

remember when it was just a weird yellow thing

[flat stream]

have they got back to u with feedback yet ? i just asked recruiter and the guy that interviewed me in the final

[fickle juniper]

Any Canada folks get OA for HubSpot

[flat stream]

HS?

[fickle juniper]

Sorry HubSpot

[sour locust]

oh when what the

i remember last app season it was the same lol

[flat stream]

yea i got straight reject

[quartz ridge]

oh really?

i meant on linkedin

sap concur used to be some yellow logo

and the main one was the standard blue logo

concur used to look like this

now it's just the noraml SAP logo

[thick ruin]

Are there just jack-all job posting in canada? Linkedin is just senior postings or easy apply scams

[fickle juniper]

Yeah thats why I was curious

My referrals did not fare well and I was wondering if it was a Canada thing

[real island]

Nah not yet

Still ghosted

[fierce lotus]

When did it open

It opened long back right

[real island]

Early Feb I think

Closed yesterday

[fierce lotus]

Oh what

I thought it opened in September

[real island]

This is for fall

[fierce lotus]

I remember applying

Ah right

[sour locust]

ohh what the heck

Hubspot ng?

[hot rapids]

are you from waterloo? :o

nope

[real island]

Intern

[crystal comet]

is trying to negotiate rbc pay a lost cause

it would be like an 8$/hr pay cut for me but better name recognition

so i wnt to negotiate for higher

yeah obv not expecting parity

but rn it's 27/hr

could maybe get to 30?

do u think

[real island]

Based on past exp + competing offers maybe

[crystal comet]

1 yoe in same niche and competing offer for more

so i would think that's solid leverage

[hot rapids]

Just ask, doesn’t take that much work to try

[crystal comet]

ig worst they can say is no

[fickle juniper]

Fall intern

Maybe a non-loo thing 💀

[quartz ridge]

melanie relax we know ur cracked

[quartz ridge]

wait how is 27 a 8 dollar pay cut didnt u say u made 30/hr yesterday...?

so it's 35/hr?

[quartz ridge]

worst they can do is steal ur compiler idea and rescind u

so be careful getting into the depths of context which doesnt apply to descendants

what did u get. around 24

[magic ether]

i think its possible!

I didnt bother to negotiate

[night fern]

Was at RBC before, def try to negotiate they are flexible especially if you have leverage

[real island]

💀💀💀

[weak gazelle]

Aren’t u literally ex-Netflix

[quartz ridge]

Ex Uber

Uber to Hubspot is a downgrade

Reconsider it

[wooden lichen]

why u think u got it lil bro😭

[signal sail]

Anyone here interviewed for trend micro

[dense frigate]

Is it common that 13 days after interview without any email or updates?

It's just a fking summer intern.

[stable ravine]

did you try reaching out to your recruiter?

[tough knot]

i waited like 2 months

[dense frigate]

I just don't dare😫 . What if got an unfortunately...

[dense frigate]

For a summer intern????

[stable ravine]

exactly the worse you can get is that but at least you could be at peace and concentrate on other opportunities

[dense frigate]

Ill send an email later...Maybe tomorrow

[rugged spade]

[quartz ridge]

do you guys consider this resume mid?

https://thume.ca/resume/

[weak gazelle]

Bro did 3x shopify

He’s doomed

As evidenced by his current role at Anthropic

if he was more efficient with his co-ops he’d Atleast be at openAI

[quartz ridge]

agreed with you

3x shopify is usually death sentence

all they do is ruby on rails

so

[drifting shore]

3x anything is rope

[worldly ridge]

3x geotab is hope

[weak gazelle]

what abt 3x goog

[worldly ridge]

homeless

[azure junco]

agreed

[azure junco]

Yes I interviewed with a company i prev worked at in September and they have ghosted me since

[dense frigate]

[strange jay]

very nice of them

[azure junco]

Very nice yes

[strange jay]

my prev boss ghosting me 2

[azure junco]

my team didn't have headcount so they didn't give a return offer so they let me interview with another team and were nice enough to only ghost me after that

[strange jay]

lmfao

[dense frigate]

I think they can just send u a refusal....

why ghost?????

[strange jay]

prob think it aint even worth their time

[dense frigate]

[magic cave]

I didn't get a return offer 😮‍💨

[turbid crater]

[turbid crater]

Don’t quote me on that

Idk

[spice herald]

yeah glassdoor says sth similar

[azure junco]

ibm does ~90k cad base

[analog current]

Microsoft canada opened up again?

[azure junco]

like 90k

ibm doesn't do stock

maybe a sign on bonus if you can negotiate for it

[rugged spade]

this is US

sorry i meant its mentioning USD

would be 90k cad

actually thats like

ohh

noiceee

[spice herald]

[fluid harness]

It’ll help you model this pattern and internalize it

[fluid harness]

Am I the master?

You’re the slave. Gaotek’s slave

[fluid harness]

u work at starbucks u should be making connections like crazy

[lapis tide]

apply to meta

they are hiring

[quartz ridge]

I connected to my manager but he’s a weed smoker

So I cut off ties w him

[fossil field]

no, to the customers...

[quartz ridge]

Oh customer

[fossil field]

you got hundreds coming in everyday

[quartz ridge]

I usually connect with the manager that’s it

[fossil field]

no thats not connecting hahaha

[hot rapids]

Does discord count as networking

[fossil field]

not in the sense you want

[fossil field]

if they find you a job yes

but like talking isnt connecting for jobs

talking and action is what you want

[hot rapids]

Can I get hired at ur company?

[fossil field]

no not really we just hired some devs

we not hiring till end of year or smth

[hot rapids]

Darn

Networking sucks

It doesn’t work

[fossil field]

go in real world

yes it does

[hot rapids]

Why do you peddle that strategy

[fossil field]

thats how i found my job

and my next one

[hot rapids]

I didn’t get it from networking just now :/

[fossil field]

it doesnt work? does what you do now work?

you are trying to grow your network tree so networking you are building

[dense frigate]

So for a student at university, what's the best way to social?

[fossil field]

dev meets, go out

[hot rapids]

But I just networked with you right now and you didn’t give me a job

So it doesn’t work

[lapis tide]

apply to faang

[dense frigate]

[fossil field]

so you barely even tried then complain?

[lapis tide]

there you will meet very smart people

[dense frigate]

If only I can pass the resume scan...

[fossil field]

try it for a month make it your priority and you will be way futher ahead than you are now

[fossil field]

connections and networking, your #1 best chance to get a job in the field you want

[dense frigate]

But that's my target rn

The #1 best choice to my target is achieving my target.

[fossil field]

yea just go out basically and talk to people

[hot rapids]

Who’s the most famous person you’ve networked with, Andre

[fossil field]

the more people you meet the higher the chance they are a dev and higher the chance they can help you get a job

[terse burrow]

Do u guys think doing an oa right before a two week deadline affects your chances

Or does it not matter when

[hot rapids]

Maybe if the company schedules interviews with people who complete the OA first and they find someone who fits their expectations

But if it’s smth like Amazon it probably won’t matter?

[tight gale]

no

[dense frigate]

Last Last Friday interviewed.

What's my question to u...I already forgot.

[wheat comet]

Dayforce/Ceridian or HelloFresh pls help swe intern

[fresh fog]

yeah same

[vague totem]

anyone here ever work/interned at onespan?

[quartz ridge]

Cohere

[fervent knoll]

anyone hear back from Cibc?

[rugged spade]

why BDO?

[azure junco]

Pay?

If you end up working at hellofresh can you please erase me from their database so they stop harassing me with mail and emails and people showing up at my door trying to sell me another box

[quartz ridge]

Morning

I prefer dayforce

[wheat comet]

Yea i gotchu, but also i can get u 75% off on all boxes

[wheat comet]

32 for dayforce , 30 for hellofresh

[wheat comet]

Why

[main aspen]

ceridan

[azure junco]

Doesn't dayforce have a better reputation

Hello fresh isn't really known for their tech

[main aspen]

wait is ur hellofresh for that junior developer position?

and what benefits u get at ceridian o.o

or dayforce ig

dayforce sounds better

higher pay + tech

breaking into tech dayforce also seems better

based on what each company is doing

[lapis tide]

they got apps also

logistics

[wheat comet]

Makes sense ty

[main aspen]

Btw was it the junior developer position at hello fresh?

Cause not sure wheat they mean by junior but if it’s a reg swe at day force

Could be a factor as well but probably just naming

And doesn’t mean much

[wheat comet]

Tbh I’m not sure, it might have been but i don’t even remember what I applied to and they didn’t send me the job description during the interview process

Actually yea i think it was junior

[main aspen]

Wait did u get offer for both already?

[wheat comet]

Verbal for hellofresh, they need confirmation from berlin to give me letter offer , and got letter offer from dayforce this morning

2 small startups

[main aspen]

man got the bag

startup is startup

dayforce > hellofresh

[night vine]

Is it a good place to work/intern for at pension fund in canada like OTPP, CDPQ, PSP for swe or data science ?

[main aspen]

If u need experience for sure

Not sure about those places

But I heard intact is pre good

[rugged spade]

job is job :p

[main aspen]

[cedar kayak]

Where's manulife at, giving me blue balls

[fallen mason]

Thoughts on asking people "let's talk about internships" vs "what do u work on at X company" on linkedin?

basically is it better to be straightforward, or beat around the bush and tell them about yourself before saying anything about internships

[tender coral]

Just go to internships you’re gonna sound like a scammer if you say anything about yourself

[cedar kayak]
