#

Hi

#

I have a query

#

Is there recipient?

ruby ridge
magic ether
quartz ridge
#

Is this

#

If u are a hiring manager

#

And u have two candidate ok just make a hypo

#

Candidate A is a Nokia 3x intern with a compiler project

#

Candidate B is a Apple intern with a Math award from high school and 3 AP class top score

#

Who u choosing here?

#

Consider urself as roleplay for hiring manager @magic ether

wooden lichen
#

see who wins

lapis tide
quartz ridge
tough knot
#

It’s Apple

#

free vision pros

quartz ridge
#

I’m pretty sure 3 Nokia is similar to 1 Apple

#

No?

tough knot
#

He could still be doing or just finishing the internship?

crystal comet
#

also trick question because i'm the only person to ever have a compiler project and i'm not 3x nokia

fresh fog
crystal comet
#

or you're scared of change

#

should be diversifying

fresh fog
#

an internship is 4 month... how often do you have to change lol

crystal comet
#

wdym

fresh fog
#

I agree it's probably better to diversify but I don't think it's a red flag

#

because again, the company wanted to keep you, meaning you're decent at what ur doing

crystal comet
#

yeah u right

#

plus not like nokia is no name

fresh fog
#

true

tough knot
#

Apple first internship is crazy though

fresh fog
#

I say that but I interned at a no name for the past year

#

And I'm not planning on leaving

quartz ridge
#

Nokia has value

#

Lot of people do Future Tech Intern program

#

For Nokia

drifting shore
tough knot
#

💀

drifting shore
quartz ridge
#

Why would u leave an internship for another company

#

Better to show commitment for ur future employers

#

Than just permanently hopping companies

fresh fog
#

Wouldn't say it's "better" to show commitment especially for internships

#

But I don't see how it's a red flag to stay at the same company lol

#

Both have values

tough knot
#

not even no-name

#

some midsized company

quartz ridge
#

Well depends how good my manger and teammates are

#

And the tech stack and impact

#

Really depends on

magic cave
#

Remove the small company from resume

quartz ridge
#

Lot of things

magic cave
#

Pretend I committed to google the entire time

drifting shore
quartz ridge
#

Is google even that good? Bloomberg seems better?

#

Bloomberg is above meta or google

quartz ridge
#

Or no

tough knot
quartz ridge
#

I actually not sure how good Bloomberg is

#

What u guys think?

fresh fog
quartz ridge
#

I’m just saying me personally

fresh fog
#

That's the whole argument here

quartz ridge
#

I would take a committed 3x Nokia vs a guy who won rng who got Apple

#

That’s just my take

quartz ridge
#

Nokia is good and 3x shows return offer

tough knot
#

How do I rng Apple

quartz ridge
#

Apple is just get lucky to work on Vision Pro and can leetcode

#

Doesn’t show any ability to hold down job and get return offer

fresh fog
#

I would take the better one which I would assume is the nokia one tbh

quartz ridge
#

Just my opinion though my two cents

tough knot
drifting shore
vivid fiber
#

As in know the same langs

tough knot
#

that’s what I assumed ^

raw ocean
#

same

tough knot
#

if the dude only knows how to leetcode, maybe not lol

drifting shore
#

all the zon interns i asked said that they had a bad exp

#

none of them would return if they have a better offer

raw ocean
#

what's the reasoning for interning at the same place 3x tho

#

if it's not your literal dream company + job + team

drifting shore
fresh fog
#

I stayed at the same company because they were offering part time until I finished my bachelor... Didn't feel like doing other internships and figured a 2 year "intern experience" while at school was better than interning at 3 diff companies

tough knot
#

I’d stop applying after Apple though 😳

fresh fog
#

Also it allows me to finish my bachelor faster

drifting shore
tough knot
raw ocean
fresh fog
#

also guys with the current state of the market, I would argue that commitment at no-names could be valuable

#

but idk

tough knot
#

I’ve determined that the market will get better in 2026

fresh fog
#

damn

#

thanks for letting us know

tough knot
#

np, prepare for massive google recruitment

raw ocean
#

i wonder what happens in 2028

quartz ridge
#

They pay for it?

magic cave
#

Nah I disagree

quartz ridge
#

Main idea is that number of years of experience plays a big role in hiring

#

Why do you think so many international 5 YOE fill junior jobs?

#

Because YOE is king in our industry

#

Think about Anduril 4 month intern vs Senior Developer from Pune, India , who are you hiring as a SWE 1 at OpenText?

lapis tide
#

precisely

quartz ridge
quartz ridge
lapis tide
magic cave
#

But 3 months vs a year is nothing

#

It takes me 6 months to onboard

quartz ridge
#

?

vivid fiber
#

Experience does not trump all lol

#

Quality of experience matters as well

quartz ridge
#

Is no brainer right

vivid fiber
#

Again it depends

magic cave
quartz ridge
#

Faceless?

#

lol

magic cave
#

I just onboarded the entire term at Msft and they paid me the entire time

quartz ridge

What is facetious

quartz ridge

Ur making the money regardless

What if I could play League instead

During Gaotek

dense frigate
#

Why I alr been refused by 1password...

#

I submitted the application the night the position posted and I have strong bg......

#

How does these companies work I'm so confused.

hot rapids
#

they pick out of a hat

quartz ridge
#

Umm

#

1 password has no lc

#

It’s pure behavioural….

#

If u cannot pass 1 pass u cannot pass even AutoDesk ……

dense frigate
#

I just want to know why and the criteria of picking up candidate.

hot rapids
#

maybe grad date, num of exp, types of companies you worked for. Thats what I would think about if they rejected quickly

#

probs grad date would be biggest one?

#

oh I misread, you didn't get rejected in one day, you applied day posting came out

cedar kayak
#

Someone I know has pm position at amd, it's pretty good

dense frigate
#

Grad date is Jan 2025.
Num of exps:2
FAANG fulltime in Bay Area and coop in Boston.

hot rapids
#

tough market man, too many apps to go through, they might not even get to yours, otherwise there's just simply someone who has even stronger bg :/

dense frigate
#

STILL NOT Qualified?

hot rapids
#

maybe you're too qualified : )

dense frigate
#

I want to make sure is this kidding or serious?

cedar kayak
#

Yes, and 16 months I think

hot rapids
#

wait are you a US citizen or working in the US with an F1 visa

dense frigate
#

F1

crystal comet
#

red flag

#

did you get roblox in hs?

hot rapids
#

does canada have any immigration rules for people studying in US on F1 and interning in CAN 🤔 ?

dense frigate
#

I'm just finding intern instead of new grad

#

Bro, just intern

#

I'm studying at Waterloo NOW

hot rapids
#

are you doing masters?

dense frigate
#

Yeah

hot rapids
#

does that have co-op

dense frigate
#

Yeah

hot rapids
#

hmm yeah you would have 40hr/wk worth auth if under co-op

#

probs too qualified : )

dense frigate
#

I can't find 1 disadvantage for my case.

#

Is Master's a disadvantage now??

hot rapids
#

sometimes companies want someone less experienced so they can mentor them, maybe ur too experienced : )

#

and they think you will ditch and go back to faang as soon as you get the chance

#

instead of taking their return offer

dense frigate
#

Seriously?

hot rapids
#

ik some companies (cough veeva) who don't like ex-meta or amazon interns

#

cuz they will leave as soon as big tech calls again

dense frigate
#

I mean who's not gonna leave immediately if a big name call u?

hot rapids
#

that is pre smart hiring descision, versus someone who just leetcode grinds to pursue big tech

dense frigate
hot rapids
#

if you have faang on resume and a boston company (datadog? hubspot?) shouldn't you just recruit for big tech

dense frigate
#

Wayfair

lapis tide

wayfair to jane street pipeline

I have a query

#

Any candid recipient?

#

Don’t have cohere

#

Sorry

#

Do you want GaoTek?

#

Ok my query is this

#

Say u are a hiring manager

#

Quick hypo ok

lapis tide
quartz ridge
#

Meek is fine

lapis tide
#

i will be receptive to your query

quartz ridge
#

Candidate A is a grad from UBC with 2 research and gaotek

lapis tide
#

what do they research?

quartz ridge
#

Candidate B is Carleton grad with 3x Nokia and 1x Kinaxis

#

Who u choosing?

#

Research ML and systems engineering

vivid fiber
#

It's not useful

#

Firstly, none of us are recruiting managers

quartz ridge
#

Just want to evaluate two candidates

#

To see what to focus on

vivid fiber
#

It's highly dependent on the job, the company, and the actual skills

quartz ridge
#

For example candidate A is better schoool and more research base

vivid fiber
#

Plus the behavioral ability

quartz ridge
#

Second candidate has some ok level internship and longer YOE

vivid fiber
#

ML you're annoying me

quartz ridge
#

How is this troll

vivid fiber
#

It's not productive

quartz ridge
#

Ok

vivid fiber
#

Please refrain from such questions thanks

quartz ridge
#

I retract the query

drifting shore
#

they seek attention

lapis tide
quartz ridge
#

Please send ur query

#

Pose it now

lapis tide
#

say you had offer A for G but its waterloo 3 months

quartz ridge
#

I am in hottub

#

Bathing with a book

#

A nonfiction one at that

lapis tide
#

offer B is RBC 16 months but its QA

#

if you were hiring managee

quartz ridge
#

Definitely rbc here

#

That is top choice

lapis tide
#

ok

#

thank you

quartz ridge
#

Reason is the YOE is worth it

#

U know?

lapis tide
#

yes i think you are right

quartz ridge
#

Good

#

😌

#

Be prudent in ur query

#

Soulsuck may remove u

#

Have meek while he is around

lapis tide
#

i will limit my queries to fewer than twenty tokens in soulks presnece

drifting shore
quartz ridge
#

Good choice

#

Rbc

#

In this naretmmmmmmm

#

Markets

#

Hiutu

crystal comet
#

i would take 1 month of openai over 36 months at rbc

quartz ridge
#

Why would you do that

#

U do realize that right now market

#

Is heavily favour time right

#

So if u woke one month

#

And have no job after

#

What would u possibly do lol

crystal comet
#

doesn't matter

#

openai clout prevails

quartz ridge
#

Longevity matters

crystal comet
#

wdym longevity matters

#

anything you work on at openai would be infinitely more interesting

quartz ridge
#

Longevity is how long ur career lasts for

#

If u work one month y have no longevity

crystal comet
#

and having that name on your resume would guarantee you offers

quartz ridge
#

And new recruiter will suspect u got fired

#

Since no one works at a company for one month

crystal comet
#

not if your title is intern or something

quartz ridge
#

Btw how is ur compiler

crystal comet
#

wdym how

#

how is it doing?

quartz ridge
#

Is it working?

crystal comet
#

i sure hope so

quartz ridge
#

Do u make abstract syntax tree

crystal comet
#

yes

quartz ridge
#

What IV do u have

crystal comet
#

iv?

quartz ridge
#

IF

crystal comet
#

if?

quartz ridge
#

Intermediate form

crystal comet
#

intermediate representation

quartz ridge
#

Yes IR

crystal comet
#

wdym by what IR do i have

quartz ridge
#

Which ones do u use

crystal comet
#

i have my IR

quartz ridge
#

Which one?

crystal comet
#

i use mine

quartz ridge
#

Do u know what IR is

#

And AST?

crystal comet
#

do you?

quartz ridge
#

Like if an interviewer

#

Scrutinize u

#

About IR and AST

#

Could u explain it?

crystal comet
#

yes

quartz ridge
#

What would u say

#

I’m curious about ur project

crystal comet
#

AST is a more computer readable representation of source code

quartz ridge
#

So it’s like

#

Convert byte code

#

To a more parable?

#

Or no

#

Prasable

crystal comet
#

IR is a step you might have between an AST and compiler backend which you would use for optimization purposes or just for an easier format to work with

quartz ridge
#

What is source code vs byte code

crystal comet
#

source code is whatever you wrote in your .js or .py or .c etc file

quartz ridge
#

So IR or AST is more readable

#

For human or computer

crystal comet
#

they're more readable to a computer

quartz ridge
#

What about machine or byte code

crystal comet
#

because they're in a structured format

crystal comet
quartz ridge
#

What about .exe

#

Like what is machine vs byte code vs source code

#

I don’t get it

crystal comet
#

machine code is what your computer runs

#

assembly

quartz ridge
#

What about byte code

#

Do u know about linker is that part of ur compiler

crystal comet
#

hard to explain byte code i guess you could just call it a binary source code representation

crystal comet
quartz ridge
#

So it changes ur source code into binary source code?

crystal comet
#

what does

quartz ridge
#

Also what about Python

#

Can’t u model ur compiler

#

After Python

crystal comet
#

why would i model my compiler after python

quartz ridge
#

Python compiler

crystal comet
#

python isn't compiled

#

cpython isn't at least

quartz ridge
#

Oh what’s cpython

crystal comet
#

cpython is the canonical representation

quartz ridge
#

So some python is compiled?

crystal comet
#

cython transpiles into C i think

quartz ridge
#

What’s canonical is that like a compiler term

crystal comet
#

canonical = the canon

#

it's the standard implementation

quartz ridge
#

Bro u can’t use the word in the definition

crystal comet
#

well idk google what the word canon means then lmao

quartz ridge
#

Is transpile just convert one language to another?

crystal comet
#

yes

quartz ridge
#

What do u know about DevOps

#

Like istio or grafana?

#

Do u know these tech

#

Or Prometheus ?

crystal comet
#

i don't know much about them

vivid fiber
#

Same with prometheus

quartz ridge
#

What is O11y

#

I see these tools

#

Are used a lot

#

For I see ability now

#

Observatory

#

crystal comet
#

occessibility

vivid fiber
quartz ridge
#

Yes

vivid fiber
#

quartz ridge
#

Observability

#

Like the most common ones I see

#

Is like grafana DataDog and Prometheus

vivid fiber
quartz ridge
#

Oh and also Splunk

quartz ridge
vivid fiber
#

Chronosphere, Splunk, Dynatrace, Jaeger, Sentry, Highlight, New Relic

quartz ridge

Splunk is one of the top ones also maybe cloudwatch logs

🫡 do ppl use fastapi in production? Reddit doesn’t like fastapi

vivid fiber

Do you mean Reddit the company

#

Or redditors?

Fast ApI is not a good framework lol

#

Django is 10x better

stable ravine
quartz ridge
#

Use a real framework like Django or Flask

#

Fast API is a newborn in the Python world

vivid fiber
quartz ridge
#

It’s not ready to be in production. It’s not scalable like Java

#

Spring boot is much better

#

Than it

vivid fiber
quartz ridge
#

Fast API is not scalable

#

Django is

stone osprey
#

Wont python be super slow for a scalable system

#

scalable is a fake word

#

fast api will scale fine for anything you build

quartz ridge
#

No it won’t when u have millions of users

crystal comet
#

and if you're big enough to worry about it then you can figure it out then

quartz ridge
#

The best language for scale

#

Is Java

#

Hands down

many people are saying this

quartz ridge
#

yo guys

#

is dev degree a good program

#

or is UW cs better?

#

anyone know about dev degree Carleton/York and know if it is good?

magic cave
#

Athabasca > McGill > UW > Carleton > York > UofT > UW

quartz ridge
#

yeah but dev degree specifically

#

seems to be a free way to get 4 years of shopify dev experience

#

before grad

magic cave
#

But the athabasca name is reputed internationally

quartz ridge
#

every single shopify dev degree is cracked on linkedin

#

i havent found a single one that didnt become senior 1 year after grad

magic cave
#

Sampling bias

quartz ridge
#

cause u get 4 years of exp while doing ur degree then + 1 year instant Senior role

#

and senior is 200-250k tc

#

so basically ur guaranteed a 200k+ tc after 1 year of grad

magic cave
quartz ridge
#

meh

#

you're given 4 yoe at a top tech company

magic cave
#

shopify

#

🤨 📸

quartz ridge
#

free 200k comp

#

and tuition paid

#

boom

#

easy life tbh

magic cave
#

That's my yearly allowance over 4 years

analog current
#

I’m applying to this scholarship rn that’s asking for me to relocate for 8 months, but I’m not sure if I can decline that tbh if I do win it

#

Since I already have an internship

analog current
#

Except, I don’t think I’ll actually work there, it wouldn’t work with my curriculum

#

I think they have remote but idk

#

I don’t want to work there, I just want scholarship money to pay for tuition

#

Honestly and respectfully 😭

#

I’m in uw se, there’s no breaks 💀 so i don’t think it would work

#

My current internship is also from a stronger company so idk man

quartz ridge
analog current
#

😭

quartz ridge
#

the thing with UW is that u get 2YOE instead of 4 YOE for dev degree

#

but u have chance of working at 6 diff companies

#

dev degree is 100% more secure tho

#

u get gauranteeed 4 YOE, and most people get senior around 1 year after grad

#

since ur at same company for 5 years

#

which basically fits > 5 yoe

analog current
#

This is going to be controversial but I think that their stability is better than the average uw grad

quartz ridge
#

even tho 4 years is just internship lol

#

yeah

analog current
#

I’m saying average

quartz ridge
#

and if u look at overall outcomes of UW grads

#

most people end up not even at amazon

#

amazon is prob like a top 25% outcome for a UW grad

analog current
#

I never applied to dev degree myself since I wanted company diversity, however, it’s interesting to look at and a good option

#

I hear it’s very competitive

quartz ridge
#

6k apps

#

50 per year

#

50 is size of 1 cohort and just single cohort per year

#

but guaranteed 4 yoe at Shopify

#

big name

#

and senior role very likely post grad

analog current
#

yeah uw se is around 2000 for 125 spots and cs is 300? For 13k applicants

analog current
#

let’s change spots

#

i do one semester of uoft cs

#

u do one of waterloo se

#

let’s do it 🙏

#

are you St. George

quartz ridge
#

so the programs that give you free cash

#

are UW swe/cs and carlteon/york dev degree

#

rest is competitive

#

oh maybe ubc/uoft is also big edge

vivid fiber
#

Or at least a sr role they would offer to a ng

quartz ridge
#

If you live in Canada you spend cad

#

If you live in Us you spend USD

vivid fiber
quartz ridge
#

Yes it is

#

But that’s not exclusive to Shop

vivid fiber
#

Yea

quartz ridge
#

That applies to every company based in Us

vivid fiber
#

Yea

quartz ridge
#

All I’m saying is that dev degree is basically a cheat code

vivid fiber
#

I think its fine

quartz ridge
#

You get 4 YOE at Shopify and most people get senior title within 1 year of grad

#

Levels has senior at 160/170 base

vivid fiber
#

I think co-op at UW is prob better from someone who is motivated

quartz ridge
#

So while most Waterloo or top school grades are SWE 1 at a good/big tech company

#

Dev degree has senior in same time span

vivid fiber
#

To fresh grads

#

Also do they give sr?

quartz ridge
#

Yah but dev degree is a pretty good paved path to that

quartz ridge
#

They actually get the role +pay

#

Not just role name

vivid fiber
#

Idt they got sr

quartz ridge
#

No stock for Shopify but they get base and 15% bonus from what I hear

vivid fiber
#

They got a slightly hire ng pay

quartz ridge
#

What’s sr?

vivid fiber
#

Same title

quartz ridge
#

Hmm

vivid fiber
quartz ridge
#

Did some LinkedIn lurking most people get promo within 1-1.5 years post grad

#

So not right away

vivid fiber
#

That's not really that good then

quartz ridge
#

But quick promo while most normal grads need 4-5 years to hit senior

#

Think about it like this the Shopify dev degree part time internship counts as full time experience

#

While most companies don’t treat intern exp as YOE

vivid fiber
#

Could get sr in 1.5~2.5 yrs

quartz ridge
#

I’m pretty sure it’s title and comp tho..

#

Like when u get the senior title u legit get the senior pay

#

Not rly a point in just getting the title alone

vivid fiber
#

I believe you

#

I just don't think dev degree is better for a motivated individual

quartz ridge
#

But yes I agree that top talent and high discipline will still get better outcome at UW

vivid fiber
#

Compared to a co-op program

lapis tide
#

remember to maintain high meek, ML

quartz ridge
#

But dev degree seems to be a paved road to a senior position at Shop

quartz ridge
vivid fiber
#

Yeah its def goof

quartz ridge
#

Im being meek no? @lapis tide

vivid fiber
#

I just disagree that its better than co-op

lapis tide
#

keep it up

drifting shore
quartz ridge
#

I think if you’re an average Waterloo student, dev degree is better. But for top students who can reach Jane street, Cit or Meta by 6th coop it’s not as good

#

But for people just hitting Zon by 6th dev degree is better/comparable imo

vivid fiber
quartz ridge
#

Liek I see a fair share of UW grads that work at ok places like SAP or AutoDesk and then new grad Zon

vivid fiber
#

Zon pays more

quartz ridge
#

And the Shopify 4 YOE vs 2 YOE with diversity and fast promo to senior

#

Is def worth it for me

vivid fiber
#

Also Shopify is a ruby codebase

#

Not a fan

quartz ridge
#

Cause once u get Senior title u can easily jump ship as a senior to another top company

vivid fiber
#

You can be downleveled

quartz ridge
#

Main thing about dev degree is u legit have 4 years of work experience

vivid fiber
#

Since other companies may see 2yrs and not agree

quartz ridge
#

U could get down leveled if u underperform on interview

quartz ridge
#

But most likely u can get interviews for a senior position esp if ur already senior at a big tech

drifting shore

vivid fiber
quartz ridge

I see downlevel happens a lot more when ur a startup or no name

#

A startup is less likely to downleve

hardy island
#

hi all, anyone from UW does those companies only hire 1 or 2 student on the waterlooworks ?

vivid fiber
#

Than a company with a rigid structure

quartz ridge
#

I mean moving from startup to big tech

analog current
quartz ridge
#

Sometimes big tech only treat big tech experience as valid exp

He was telling me about title inflation allat

vivid fiber
quartz ridge
#

I see that as a pretty big arrange

vivid fiber
#

@quartz ridge do you work at shop?

quartz ridge
#

But for me I prefer to level up at a normal pace

drifting shore
quartz ridge
#

No I don’t

quartz ridge
quartz ridge
#

It really is highly competitive. 50 students per year, 6k apps

But yeah you can really make it to the top from every school

Some schools just give you a lot more opportunities

Guys I would love some advice

#

If I accepted and signed 12 month internship at AMD summer 2024 - winter 2025

#

But I hypothetically get an offer at a bigger tech company for a 4 months summer 2024

#

Is it worth to reneg the 12 month or is it like possible to somehow negotiate it to like an 8 month fall-winter after already signing off on it?

drifting shore
#

Renege

#

4month > 12month
