[magic cave]

I don't even look at the account except when @warm adder goes band for band with me

[azure junco]

Doesn't the average Canadian have negative money

[magic cave]

sampling bias

[azure junco]

idk but I've noticed a lot of employed people spending way beyond their means

it can only be sustained through lines of credit

or other debt

[magic cave]

There is no penalty for taking debt on in Canada

BoC makes inflation higher than interest rates

[azure junco]

Aren't interest rates like 7% rnv

[magic cave]

Also make sure to only pay the minimum balance on your credit card

[lapis tide]

no need

simply finance through consumer lending corporations

especially for purchases like gaming consoles or computers

[azure junco]

especially if it's amortized into daily payments that are as little as a few dollars. it's cheaper than a daily coffee

[lapis tide]

this is very true

cut out the sushi burritos and starbucks

[azure junco]

man I haven't had a sushi burrito since high school but they mf slapped

[magic cave]

What about designer bags and clothes

[azure junco]

the place near me used to always give me food poisoning though

every single time I ate there

[magic cave]

Should I use BNPL software for those too

[lapis tide]

use BLPN instead

[azure junco]

Only if it can be broken down into nice cheap payments. Cash flow is always more important than the bottom line. If only $5 leaves your account every day, you're wearing that bag for $5

[lapis tide]

literal truth

[azure junco]

What if I use bcnf?

[tough knot]

actual waste

[warm adder]

daddys money

[lapis tide]

what is considered designer?

i've been feeling bad about buying h&m and some old navy

[magic cave]

[azure junco]

Wayfair , Nordstrom , bluenotes

[magic cave]

H&M is fast fashion

[azure junco]

Things like that

[lapis tide]

you are low meek

[magic cave]

Uniqlo and Zara are designer

[azure junco]

Uniqlo unironically has some of the best quality clothes for the price

[lapis tide]

uniqlo is trash

i spit on the inventor of uniqlo

[azure junco]

They're the only place that sells pants that fit me properly

[warm adder]

Uniqlo is poverty clothes

[lapis tide]

you are a man of great width. do not generalize your experience

[warm adder]

[azure junco]

Man I feel bad for you.

[warm adder]

dhgate shoes be hitting huh

[lapis tide]

I have seen your perineum. Do not claim falsehoods in esteemed community

[drifting shore]

[azure junco]

That’s my main reason for doing the interview

Verily fka Google Life Sciences on my resume

[azure junco]

GOOGLE ₍ᵥₑᵣᵢₗᵧ₎

[drifting shore]

they still have the same perks as google

its just an internship im fine if it files for bankruptcy right after i finish the internship

larp as working at google

[drifting panther]

Is it really good for prestige tho, you can’t put google on resume

It would still be verily

[drifting shore]

verily (FKA google life sciences)

[vivid fiber]

They are under alphabet

So essentially google

[formal prism]

Is it still possible to get an internship for summer now

When I maintained the Canadian internship list I'd find a lot more smaller/mid-sized companies on Glassdoor

That wouldn't be on LinkedIn

[thorny palm]

[fierce lotus]

Oh Glassdoor

wbu

yup

it’s a strange role

half the job is consulting

[noble field]

Anyone get Lyft phone screen

[crystal comet]

60k is not fantastic

[kind hazel]

yes otherwise its a lose lose situation for u and the company u wanna work at

[warm rock]

i don’t see why it would hurt, especially if you need to accept an offer before getting theirs

[worthy orbit]

i think you should only do it if you're interview went really good

[quartz ridge]

Not fantastic but quite good in this economy

I’m not saying it’s amazing but it’s def not something to scoff at

[crystal comet]

it's like 31.25/hr

easy for quite a few people here to scoff at

[lapis tide]

congrats

yeah just say you have a deadline

[gilded charm]

anyone tried flex jobs

[warm adder]

dont u get 28?

at rbc

[crystal comet]

yes

[crystal comet]

wdym pay masters higher

yes swe

[stone osprey]

But that’s intern

FT must be higher

Ye RBC pay is funky

They pay whatever the fuck they want

[crystal comet]

yeah what i meant was like if it isn't uncommon for interns to make >=31.25 then it's not weird to think that's not that high

[stone osprey]

Ye

But I doubt NG are getting above 90K

In this market

At least us folks who don’t have FAANG

[stone osprey]

Even 85k rather

[worldly ridge]

60k is the new 6 figures

this is the new normal

[crystal comet]

wdym de

[analog current]

Data Engineer

[crystal comet]

oh

so he just flexing in my face then

that's cool...

[quartz ridge]

30+ is respectable imo

[quartz ridge]

85k is incredible. 60k is good

100k is like you’re probably very very smart or hardworking

[stone osprey]

Hey Rbc > zon

Ngl tho RBC is pretty good for Canada

[drifting shore]

or luck

[magic cave]

What about 110

Not like $110K, $110

[calm elm]

110 reasons to apply

[magic cave]

Job market has me so down bad I'm applying to technical writing positions to get into Ericsson

[quartz ridge]

You’re at Zon no? That company went underwater

The issue with Zon is that once you get it you can’t pass resume screens for any companies because it lost value during pandemic

[vivid fiber]

Not true lmao

Also AMZN is doin v well

[quartz ridge]

Most people I talked to who have Zon cannot find a new grad job

It’s because they lowered the bar so much in 2021 where you just need to explain your OA

To pass it

Yes

[vivid fiber]

Tbf most ppl cant find a job rn lmao

[quartz ridge]

It’s not worth as much as before and is viewed poorly in Faang

[fossil field]

whats goood

[quartz ridge]

Yeah but people with Microsoft are all employed

[fossil field]

my app is finally going to production end of this week

[quartz ridge]

While people with Zon are struggling as much as people with say Geotab

To be honest as long as the work is cool

Where you work don’t matter

At all

[vivid fiber]

[quartz ridge]

80k + is great

That’s all that’s needed for like 90% of people

I agree, for a new grad thats a great salary

[fossil field]

internal use only for now

Hi kitty

[worldly ridge]

ur cat is soc ute

looks like a lion

[drifting shore]

is winning the lottery in your plans?

[kind hazel]

if u dont say anything, theres a good odd that they wont be able to come up with an offer fast enough, then you cant work there and they cant have you, creating a lose lose situation. You can also just accept one offer and then renege after, but I mean that is frown upon. I personally dont believe that just because u asked for it to be accelerate that you will have lower chance of getting it. At the end of the day it is business and everyone involved usually understand what opportunity cost is.

[quartz ridge]

Can you just delete your name

Annoying….

[ashen mason]

all the ciena postings are low level

There are 2 meanings for low level

You could either mean low level programming

Or low level as in junior or new grad etc.

can your buddy give me a shout 😭

[tender coral]

anybody got Notion OA or phone call?

[gilded charm]

what can i make out of this?

29 apps in this market on linkedin
should i assume there's about 500 from elsewhere?

[terse burrow]

I think linkedin counts as apply if you click link

So idk how accurate it is

[gilded charm]

yep but im confused how this postion has < 100

prob becuase its named as junior engineer or something im guessing

[vivid fiber]

This could be a reposting

Also they most likely have posted to other job sites

Plus there's their own job site to account for

In general, you should be looking at more than just LinkedIn though

[dense frigate]

Anyone interviewed in HP SDET intern before?

Got reached out for this tonight 11 pm.

[quartz ridge]

Lol in this context it’s pretty obvious they mean low level programming

[quartz ridge]

to be honest though, learning CUDA Is probably useful if u wanna do nvidia

[violet flint]

Has anyone here interviewed with Apple for an AI/ML internship position? I have one soon, and I'm looking to get some extra information.

[kind stag]

[stable ravine]

[quartz ridge]

RBC Better name, Konrad better pay

[quartz ridge]

New grad i graded in december 2023

[quartz ridge]

you got interviews or no

[gilded charm]

How’s it been for you I’m finishing up in April

0 in everything apart from not being able to start sooner, intervie call but cancelled

[quartz ridge]

Ok so I got one interview but it got cancelled sadly

It was at a startup and they just cancelled the interview so now I have no job and still searching

[turbid crater]

My boi is on top

[azure junco]

I've heard people say that RBC isn't the best to start your career, since it's a dinosaur company and you might get put on a team with bad tech

Then again with Konrad you might get put on a shitty project

[wintry linden]

Im not a new grad, but honestly with the way the economy is right now, you likely gotta take what you can get. If you get an RBC offer Id suggest you take it and dont look back, and once you got some experience then jump ship.

Ive known plenty of ppl who started off with banks and moved on to better and brighter things afterwards. Its not optimal but its better than nothing

[quartz ridge]

Don’t really agree. Most banks have modern tech stacks and actually have decent best practice when it comes to software

You would be surprised at the tech maturity at lotta banks

Konrad seems super coin flip

Maybe a bit higher pay though

Yeah people think that if you don’t intern at Faang you can’t make it. Lot of people climb into Faang after NG

[ashen mason]

No

[quartz ridge]

No because interns only do like 1-2 interviews

[wintry linden]

Not entirely sure about that one, heard its the opposite for Amazon.

Was offered a NG position when I graduated and honestly their recruitment process was pretty easy. From what Ive heard their intermediate position interviews are significantly harder.

[quartz ridge]

But after a few years you need like 5-6 rounds

It’s a lot easier to get intern and convert

But think about it from another lens

If you want to switch companies in the future you need to get used to 5+ rounds so

Might as well get used to it now

So it’s not a bad thing

Just my opinion though

[wintry linden]

lol my current company was like 4 interviews straight in one day, shit sucks

[hallow urchin]

how does ur brain not melt

[wintry linden]

man i was speaking in tongues by the end, barely making any sense

[hallow urchin]

do u try to get good sleep night before

i been having trouble with interview endurance

[wintry linden]

honestly it just comes down to prep, the more you prep the less exhausting the interviews will be

My friends and I would take turns interviewing each other with questions we've encountered in previous interviews / things we found online, I'd say that would be the biggest help for most people. Dont just practice alone

[stable ravine]

is there any hope for ngs?

[wintry linden]

You still going for DS roles or SWE?

If SWE I would try to focus on any coding you may have done, lots of DS roles use python and some flavor of SQL (im assuming you did too?) so you can focus on the technologies you used and the impact on the company the projects you worked on had.

(I know thats pretty vague but honestly im not really the best person to be coaching ppl lol)

[terse burrow]

Damn ik rbc is better for name

But is it that much better

[magic cave]

Anyone get into an 8 month internship and dip after 4?

I landed Dayforce but can't do 8

[wheat comet]

U can leave but it might make it harder to come back

If u do want to

[magic cave]

Does this work on my wife and kids too

[stable ravine]

ye

[violet flint]

Nah. Not at all. It's an ML role, so I'm not sure how much Swift will be relevant.

[fossil field]

let it roll

[stable ravine]

⁉️

[wheat comet]

As long as u end your communication with them with “i will always love you” or another form of a buyback clause in the letter you leave them

[violet flint]

No, there isn't. The location for the position is in the United States actually.

Man I'll take IT at this point

[magic cave]

Is handshake useful?

I have access to a UofT account

[warm rock]

i’ve heard a ton of success stories from ppl who have used it exclusively, without apply to jobs from other job boards

so it’s worth looking into if u have access

[boreal sorrel]

and ubc too i think

[kind stag]

What is handshake

[azure junco]

I had an amzn recruiter reach out on handshake

[magic cave]

zon 🤢

Ok I got the handshake account

It's pretty much useless

All positions are in US

And most of them aren't software either

Manifesting it

[strange jay]

i fcking hate this economy

[stable ravine]

[copper star]

anyone have any idea for Verily's technical difficulty?

[stable ravine]

should be med to hard coz google

[copper star]

i think its 2 tech 1 beha, so could it be 2 hard lol

[hardy island]

how many leetcodes is enough for verily or google？

[drifting shore]

i wish theres a fixed amount

[quartz ridge]

How are you guys even getting interviews wrf

wtf

What do these places pay

Must be less than 25 for this market

[maiden elm]

42

[hardy island]

what？

[maiden elm]

maybe 43

[quartz ridge]

42 leetcode question?

What is this number?

You cannot comment on leetcode unless you have taken the interviews

That is my take

[maiden elm]

lets go leetcode for leetcode lil bro

[quartz ridge]

This is all I’m going to say

Leetcode won’t help you pass interviews

Social skills will

And behavioural skills

Leetcode doesn’t matter much

[tough knot]

tf

it does

[quiet crane]

Prob good resume

[wintry linden]

You need both.

It doesnt matter if you have the personality of a golden retriever if you arent able to pass a technical interview.

[tough knot]

^

[fresh fog]

This sentence alone is something alot of dev don't understand tbh

Some people don't have any technical question during technical interview and some get hard leetcode problems

there's a reason for that

[drifting shore]

depends on company

[tough knot]

there needs to be a middle ground

[fresh fog]

that's true but it happens enought that devs should achnoledge (however you spell it) it

[fresh fog]

the difference is leetcode alone won't get you a job however being good at interviews alone could

[tough knot]

Leetcode is often integral to the interview though

[drifting shore]

yea, also u can always ask the recruiter on what to expect for the interview

[fresh fog]

I'm talking specifically about technical interviews and thing is, what to expect is not determined before the interview

[drifting shore]

at least they are gonna tell to prep for lc or trivia

[wintry linden]

Unless the company has a pretty flexible hiring regimen, you arent skipping a technical interview simply because you were friendly in the behavioral interview.

More often than not youre going to be doing a technical interview or some kind of OA before you even have a chance to get to the behavioral.

[drifting shore]

^

[fresh fog]

never talked about skipping the technical interview, read what I said

I said the CONTENT of the technical interview highly depends on you

[wintry linden]

I did.

[fresh fog]

at some places

well you're not adressing what i'm saying lol

[drifting shore]

unless u interview at amazon or small companies, the process is mostly predetermined before the interview

[wintry linden]

I am, the question you will be working on is likely already decided before you even show up to the interview.

[fresh fog]

false my exam is starting but i'll argue later lol

[quartz ridge]

ok leetcode might be a bit more useful for big companies

but im saying for 95% of the companies that are not big tech

you will get more bang for your buck if you learn to be sociable

[lost lark]

The fact that this needs to be said is crazy 😭

[stable ravine]

😭 where r interviews tho

Where r ng postings

can we apply for ng 2025 postings?

but I guess it'll be the same for them too

like 2024 ng

canada is doomed

[quartz ridge]

roblox opened

[stable ravine]

2024?

wew isn't it too late?

[fossil field]

aint no way you guys still applying for big companies after getting rejected over and over again lol

[tender coral]

[kind stag]

[kind stag]

Let's say you're working at a startup

[stable ravine]

depends on the role, if its a ng role no

[kind stag]

[kind stag]

Yeah...

Siemens rejected me

[fossil field]

find local companies and apply

[stable ravine]

python?

[fossil field]

doesnt have to be exclusively big tech/ tech only companies

you will get much better response rate and offer rate

[stable ravine]

tried getting ghosted

[fossil field]

doesnt have to be tech only

[stable ravine]

local orgs also looking for min 3+yrs of exp

[fossil field]

do research on the companies

try and apply

you can even call the reception desk

they will answer

[stable ravine]

wdym dont have to be tech?

[fossil field]

there are companies the main focus is on something else lets say food or like distribution

well they have IT departments too

[stable ravine]

🫡

[fossil field]

those companies you have high chance

low salary but its a foot in the door

[stable ravine]

imagine grinding lc just to get a IT support job

[fossil field]

and most likly in person

not it support lol

you are still building stuff

like mainting website

[kind stag]

@fossil field would you know any in waterloo

Or know how I can look for them?

[fossil field]

dont know about waterloo but they def exist

[magic cave]

Nah it's over

[fossil field]

just google search around companies near you/in your city

[stable ravine]

at this point I would even work for free for the num of yrs bar

[magic cave]

Wait for the singularity

[fossil field]

and do research in those companies and see if they have texh

usually they have careers page

[stable ravine]

nuke war?

[magic cave]

When tech begins to develop too fast to follow

Actually insane

Like they went from ChatGPT to Sora in a year

And my professors are still talking about O(n) or whatever

[kind stag]

Junior applications engineer - aprisa

[fossil field]

yea but new age developing will not be coding character by character instead it will be using ai models to develop and essentially piece things together

until one day in the future maybe near or far you wont need any devs lo

[stable ravine]

oh it was electrical engineering

why did you even apply lol

digital design job

[stable ravine]

ai is dumb af

[kind stag]

It said CS degree was fine lol

[stable ravine]

but it can still give us a skeleton

[stable ravine]

hr mfs are crazy skills said vlsi required

[kind stag]

I applied to a bunch of other Siemens positions as well

[stable ravine]

so I backed off

[kind stag]

Oh wait you got an interview?

[fossil field]

rn my man, we are not that far away from full application development

[kind stag]

What companies did you apply to

[stable ravine]

No

[kind stag]

*positions

[stable ravine]

siemens python dev and infra so far

infra got rejected but i was a perfect match

python dev got ghosted

its mostly luck at this point and I'm unlucky af

[fossil field]

go for smaller companies

[kind stag]

Also applied to

[kind stag]

How do you know about the interviews

Also applied for junior network test developer

[copper star]

[kind stag]

Ah I see

Wb junior network test developer new grad

[stable ravine]

No idea

[kind stag]

Oic

[hardy island]

still not enough i think i hava done 350 but....

[grim cairn]

whenever i see their stats, its always people with 8+ years exp idk wassup with that

[kind stag]

Yeah idk what's up with that either

Even tho they're advertised for new grads

[glossy condor]

python dev ghosted? might be a good sign, i already got rejected like 2 weeks ago

[grim cairn]

how much do they pay

[kind stag]

Man I wanna work with Java

[grim cairn]

did you get through interviews?

[grim cairn]

.

[grim cairn]

they have c# afaik in concord, i had an offer for it last year but turned it down

whats that spreadsheet

[kind stag]

Never worked with C#

[grim cairn]

its similar to java, less verbose

[kind stag]

I applied to konrad

😭

[grim cairn]

very easy to switch

[kind stag]

I know, but they won't take me cuz no C#

[grim cairn]

tbf nobody does c# at school, everyone just gets stuck in it due to work

[kind stag]

Ye I'd need some experience with it first

Prolly in a project

[fossil field]

learn c#

trust me

[glossy condor]

my job apps spreadsheet

[fossil field]

i wanted to do only python but now a c# developer as well as python now but c# is so powerful

and so many companies use it, majority of jobs are in c#

and its really easy tbh

way better than java and i had to do java all 4 years for uni

[glossy condor]

is there like a basic c# project to get started with. one that works with like postgresql and multithreading

[kind stag]

Ye I don't think it'd take long to learn

[fossil field]

build an asp.net web api

[kind stag]

I just gotta bang out a project in a weekend

[fossil field]

store stuff in sql database

[kind stag]

Good for resume?

[weak gazelle]

hi

[fossil field]

idk like make a api to get food recommendation

yea

[weak gazelle]

why was this blocked

[fossil field]

as long as you build a full project with restful api and stuff get some users and great for resume

[weak gazelle]

@fossil field

[fossil field]

idk

ur mom or something

[kind stag]

How long? Also when u meant how gg I meant if you get a interview and have internships you got prior exp

[weak gazelle]

wym

[kind stag]

It's on my resume lol 💀

[glossy condor]

i just need something braindead so i can get the fundamentals and stuff. not looking for anything impressive to put on a resume

[kind stag]

@fossil field do you mind checking my resume out in the resumes section

[fossil field]

sure

real time chat app would be a good one

create a chatgpt use case with api

[kind stag]

How long have you been applying for?

[glossy condor]

can u just post the webpage instead of this pls
oh is this chatgpt

[quartz ridge]

Let’s just say this

If you can code in Java or Kaitlin

You won’t have to worry about your career future

These are enterprise languages that will never get replaced

On the other hand if you use something like Python or Django Tailwind you will struggle for sure

[fossil field]

yes it is chatgpt

[fossil field]

not true at all.

you should always be an expert in some other language like c# or java and always python

python is such a powerful language and tool in general with building scripts and the massive library support

on my current project i build a python api and in the main app is c# webforms app with aspx and aspx.cs

and of course working with js

for work^*

[copper star]

Lol wt, u should feel ready after 350. Dont just solve, try to go topic by topic to understand

Maybe not most hard ones in optimal time, but at least a working solution

[kind stag]

Interviews?

[magic cave]

I'm at 800
