Hey is there a group chats for Toronto and Waterloo interns this summer ?
like if you already have 1 YOE
do you still put education at the top
or what is the best orrdering
edu-leadership-proj-exp-skill
isnt this for intern tho
i mean like once ur looking for say, SWE II roles
like intermediate dev
experience - projects - school
Yeah so just wanted to say that a lot of interviewers will tell you this. The impression you make on them is the difference between easy lt questions and medium to hard lt
Not saying it’s the same everywhere but having decent soft skills is as important as being able to code
how do you make an impression before getting into the interview?
ig interview lc questions are rng, if you're lucky you'll get lc easy-medium; if the interviewer decides to fck you then no one can save you
You know the interview doesn’t start with technical questions right away right? 💀
Luck is involved but so are soft skills
yea, I was referring to your reply , "ques is decided before interview"
Never said it was decided before the interview
. not you
Oh well I disagree with them
what do you get asked 
Yeah that's an excellent way of determining if a candidate knows how to design efficient software and work with stakeholders
binary search
tell me about a time you used your leetcode knowledge on the job
I legit have lmao
Wat
i inverted a heap
Ya i kno
That's actually a good practical q imo
Esp if you're interviewing for a data or product eng role
Can't help there, im an infra andy
Not necessarily
A good trait to have is being able to act in ambiguous situations
keep yapping
should b done

anyone hear back from fullscript?
Gaotek
Big G
RBC
Gaotek
Scale AI
Bad wlb
But I've never heard of Gaotek
and Scale AI is a well known unicorn
Gaotek is a well known FAANG
Stop mocking.
Hostel…
Do GaoTek imo
GaoTek >>> Google
Gaotek is gaining traction so
I’d consider it over Scale if you want good WLB and less toxicity
https://scale.com/blog/company-update
Reminder that scale AI laid off 20% last year. Nobody is safe at that company
Layoff was at all levels, from staff engineers down to new grads
So would you not choose to work at Google or Meta then?
Yes they had layoffs, but its still a much better company than Gaotek
Not even comparable
GaoTek >>> OpenAI
I would disagree
Maybe I'm missing something, but Gaotek is certainly not better than one of the most valuable startups in the world.
They're trolling
sounds like what a troll would say
Its a stealth company thats why
Easily beats every company on there in terms of prestige
But the WLB might get a little intense since the work they’re doing is so bleeding edge
Which requires a lot of research
Urgh people worried about prestige companies but are struggling to find any job
I really don’t get it
beggar cant be chooser lol
prestigehunt is outdated
sigma quote tho ngl
baronr othchild looks lieka ghoul in that image
skill issue
shut the fuck up
see you in the counter at lazeez cuz
ill be buying your overpriced tasteless shwarma

hope this brightens ur day
Hamada Helal - Mohamed Nabina | حمادة هلال - محمد نبينا
I wouldn't even get out of bed for a rank F+ company
You are the troll. You are in denial about big G
mood
lol did anyone get Scotiabank SWE intern (Velocity)?
PLUM profile didnt make it
Anyone know if Amazon Summer SDE intern in Vancouver is 3 months or 4 months?
🤫🧏♂️
16 weeks if u are in coop
What if you’re not looking for 12+ months
Can they adjust to 4 months
For AWS
Does Amazon hire SDE interns?
does amazon hire?
Hey guys I don’t appreciate you making fun of my question
@unreal field @bleak vortex the mods will be hearing about this
not you
peace guys i think this is the end of my time in this server
again
they have the best app out of the big banks
so whatever they’re doing must be working
save money live better
please dont
What happ :c
idk feels like this server is just talking about job and company prestige and not much more
and i have nothing to contribute to that
Ill be in the server but wont be active
Does anyone else find that big tech moves superrrr slowly when working on a product
working on a new product and it takes forever to make 1 simple change
What else is there to discuss? 😶🌫️
Does anybody know someone who has accepted an intern offer from Manulife?
damn applied to yelp with referral and got rejected an hour later 💪🏼
Stop this bs man. Stop mocking lol
Literally making me mad saying something I was serious about
Ok at least you removed your undeserved suffix
Was about to drive me crazy
Thank god….
They were trolling about gaotek, it's a company that doesn't pay their interns anything
did u get return offer at ur big tech company u interned at
did the big tech pay more than startup?
oh wow
any reason you chose the startup?
just interesting product?
more than double ur current job?
respect
what company was the big tech?
due to the layoff?
new grad
tesla ap🤑
The early career one
because i heard normal tesla new grad doesnt pay that well
Oh what happened at big tech that you didnt like?
I have a guess but i would like to hear your story specifically lol
😭
Ah ok
Makes sense
Was it infra work
Or like
Hmm i guess i wont be really able to understand unless i knew your project
But i sort of get it
That sucks
OH
Ooooof
Yea ok i could imagine
Yes
I thought you were gonna talk about how team quality was very luck of the draw or maybe team members werent very passionate
But this makes sense too
Sounds like your team just dumped the most painful tedious work on you cuz you were intern 😭
Wait so was it AP or nah
Cause I wouldn’t ever turn down AP for a startup
In any universe
Oh I see
wtf man that’s nuts
Daamn
Did u have some robotics experience or computer vision or perception
Not sure how to land AP interview
I know places like Waymo legit need u to have self drive experience
They pull from Cruise and Tesla a lot
More than double TC is sooo wild not to choose for me, but i do agree with your other reasons a lot
Do you still think all 3 things about current company?
(I know which one but not sure if you wanna say)
Weird though
U talk a lot about higher TC and good pay
So impact u still view as more important
Or good work
Or fast turn around time
So there’s a cut off where impact and Eng talent etc means more
Right?
Fair
Long term vision!
From what ive heard/ personal view i feel like autopilot might have just as good engs but i do understand the choice
Im glad, hope it works out for you
Oh wait yea I completely forgot about average Tesla WLB 💀💀
Especially AP probably worse?
oooof
Ok this makes sense
W decision
Better Eng talent hands down
But worst WLB hands down
It’s a toss up
I respect that he values impact over just pure TC
I feel the same tbh.
@weak gazelle thoughts?
deserves to have the power to ban anyone in cscd
so real
especially at our age/ stage of career I think this makes complete sense
obviously TC/ impact sometimes correlates a lot but when its a close decision I think valuing impact is def the play
especially after you already have big tech on your resume
my roommate interned (and later returned FT) at Tesla AP and their intern presentations were attended by Elon 
WLB was very questionable tho yes but also the engineers there are v smart
Trudeau pays for housing photo ops.
Common sense Conservatives will pay for housing results.
he works for descpicable me inc
no party will build affordable housing or help workers 
shop RO rate is good or no
didnt they ahve like 3 layoffs
need to squat in 24 fr
its empty rn lol
i think even stornoway is empty?
york uni is striking
campus is empty
you can prolly cross the picuket line and squat there
honestly squatting in 24 is ez the rcmp officer in front is v nice
i was talking to him while i was high on acid lmao
v pleasant chat
was asking about how the reno was goin
im not jokin lol
mustve been an itneresting convo
oh yea it was quite something
that whole acid trip was something else
pretty sure i think the french embassy thought i was a doing something sus (it's next to 24 sussex) cuz i was just loitering looking at the pretty flowers they had inside the gates cuz it was so trippy on acid
bailed before the genderamarie came near me LOL
good times 
yeah but George secured the RO so just asking him
hope he can share his secrets
yea i just pimp'd ur mom to my team and manager and skip and i got RO
thanks!
Does ur manager know ur a cuck? Or should I inform him
Buddy projecting a little too hard today
say hi to ur mom for me -- i bet she still sore
this is genuine gobbledygook im reading here
I have no idea what I just read
i got RO at shop by whoring his mom out to my team 
ROcels on watch alert

Girl bossss
my mentee got into mcdonald
Did u pass interview
@vivid fiber ur alma mater is going downhill
She's such a grifter it's insane
I stalked her LinkedIn and instagram literally main character syndrome
i get ms is masters
what is qwic?
queens women in coputing
how is a club a masters pipeline
also masters unless its in research and esp in a hype field is the only option the rest is a scam
oh
well sadly deimaxxing is such a great strat to get big names
you hate em cuz you aint em
dude
she's a 2x explore intern
chargin
$150 FOR RESUME REVIEW
she blocks anyone who links free resources on her LI comments
i love linkedin influencer they’re so inspiring
shes a rent seeker like this is 10000000% rent seeking behaviour
no i acc have ethics
you say that now
u peep her instagram? i wanna punch the narcissim and maincharacter syndrome out of her
yucky
very violent man you are
no it's so revolting
maybe you should apply to join skyler's community
true
the skyler basco
i actaully dont open LI feed at all

do not knock it until you have read it
please drop it below
query
do not be so contemptuous.
thank you
wow big words
very well, ban yahkuna matadaml≽^•⩊•^≼.
but im postively nonplussed by these so called influencers
please stop mock
you have low meek right now
your memoranda have been highly complex
this is why andreml left
this channel has been corrupted with arorgance
and not meekness
indeed
everyone cahsing TC and prestige
i agree with youre analyzis
thank you
can you examine this issue with more detail?
i think the opp cost to pursue masters to get through recruiting is not worth
Not in 2024 and not if are an intl (if the program is course-based, can't comment on thesis)
is intl much harder then local in canada
yeah coz intl doesn't have canadian exp
but what if ur an itnl student with internships
domestic students have atleast 3co-ops/intern
candaidn itnernships
you'll hear back from most places
No matter how cracked you're , if you have 0 fte (in home country) or 0 internship exp in canada its jover for you
this is post mid 2023 ^^ , I have seen ppl with 0 exp getting ng offers from rbc, scotia etc
stop mock
Its luck at that point
I heard nothing from banks
Like ever
Even as intern
But my friends from places like ryerson / carleton would always be working at one
Low meek
Increase meek… and you have chance
At top companies
For example trending micro or gaotek
Yea
Low meek means fail
Its not fun working there 😭
That’s all im gonna say
Any some point there wont be any career growth in banks unless you change your track to managerial roles
Thats everywhere but youll feel it the most at a structured org like a bank
I have to pick up a dime with my Tesla and then store her image in an S3 bucket. Will be back later today. Hope you all have a good day, don’t disturb your manager routine and stay safe
Or like an established telecom
share bucket link
Will share link once I get my S3 provisioned securely. Stay meek and await link
isn't our career path stuck to the first job we choose?
s3 read is fine for me 
You just have to get that first job 💔
“Oh have u tried working IT”
lets say if I get a ng offer for a niche embedded eng role can I pivot to infra?
i have query
true
listening on port 4000
I'm just worried that we'll eventually get expired 
😔
This tbh
you are the type of person who makes fun of homeless people
absolutley 0 meeek
this is why andreml leaft
Sadge
I do make fun of homeless people but only this one homeless guy in Vancouver working for Amazon and is named Steve
have you tried telling him to stop buying avocoado toasts so hes not homeless?
@bleak vortex dont delete that
i think steve died
where did steve go
😦
i think he went back to indonesia
i went to some immigration office today and they said rest of your background is a good you got a degree so education is good too , all you need is a year experience in a job in your field 😭
i was like where tf do i find a cs job
for PR?
yes
cuz my friend said he has 1 year in SWE and its not enuf
oh nah she just said i cant help you with that

Toxic
Did u know mcdicks had a hackathon at one point
is this why swe is oversaturated
Yes because they offer fries with the job
i am looking forwward to be working with u in mcdonalds
Me too 🤝
anyone else having an insanely hard time landing interviews, like iv applied to 200 places and no one has even given me a interview
also p.s. i have no work experience
other than retail lol
intern?
ye
zon?
wdym?
Zon? Or no
There’s no a single place that would do 40/hour for remote in Canada lol
That’s only if ur top 1% in Us
200 is rookie numbers
what does zon mean
chill, im climbing to 300 now

🧢 ur jst mediocre at best
its acc getting oddly hard trying to find jobs, where do u go? @worthy orbit
We ask if ur at Zon lol
Nah rbc doesn’t pay 40 first of all second of all covid is over there’s no remote
whats Zon, a university?
linkedin, github, this channel, indeed, handshake, glassdoor, levels...etc
No it’s a company
thank u
they have remote still
Yeah but there’s no way in hell rbc pays 40
nah im not at Zon
they wont pay u 40*
Ur making 25/hour in person at Rbc
borealis does. Its part of rbc
The guy is not at borealis
ong im not making 25.
BorealIS AI makes sense
Rest of rbc not a chance
I might not be that good at leetcode but my strength in behavioural + oop easily make up for it
@worldly ridge
YOOO
LMAOO
Who tf is Stephen
from doomer to zon
anyone received the second round interview for Verily
what else should i message him?
haappy for him
lc is the only way to get high paying job. Companies not gonna hire u jst cuz u not a psychopath dawg.
we miss him
System design as well
oh yea how u gonna live off of $180k salary?
I know butt here are high paying startups that ask engineering questions
But ur right big tech is all lc
i need to make him doom
any monkey can do that.
steven bouta be homeless
Only the OG know Steven
lemme cook
lol I pay 2.5k for rent and work as a barista
He always has his tent
steven > andreml
Idk what u are even saying
take my starbucks order peasant.
At least I know Jenkins. If I didn’t know ci/cd I wouldn’t even be working as a barista. They asked me what kind of corporate pipelines I knew about and I talked about a Jenkins pipeline analogy
That was first round interview with another barista
Then hiring manager was pure behavioural for the barista role
did u think they'd ask lc questions to work at starbucks?
tf
For SWE intern yes
food is ~8k a year?
but ur barista
is that a good estimate?
Poverty
what else can i say to him?
ask him if he met any abgs in vanc yet 
and then transport - another 4k?
nah wtf only fat ppl eat 8k in a year
i just want to reduce his net pay to like ~20k and then covnert to usd
to make him doom
yall obese or sum shit
Depends on obesity
idk i just eat rice and beans v cheap im trynna max out his expenses to make him feel broke and doom
rice is bad
should be enough for now
if he replies i'll cook some more
convince him to rent a cheapo crack den in DTES for ~ 500 bucks
and survive off of free bananas
from zon
how much he getting paid
tc was $180k and mfer was dooming that it wasn't enough
more then rbc
when he was in the server
so
it's a meme to shit on him
about how any expense is burning money
@worldly ridge any other ideas?
only dumb lazy mfs order from ue and dd
i got none but tell him we miss him 😦
condo fees
^^
1300 for this month then LL increases to 2k
u right i should ask him it's 1300 now but what if they increase?
even more moeney u burning
tell steven he will never afford a house
i bet he's rooming with like 5 other guys tbh
UE collects too much on fees and doesn’t even pay drivers a cent.
oh also i should tell him if he's acc srs he should ubereats/doordash on the side
door dash also a scam takes forever. faster to jst get the food urself
he mentioned that $180k wasn't enough so he wanted to get a partime job
is he jewish wtf?
well some chinese are similarly money minded so lol
ya but for swe
he's indonesian chinese
also if he makes 180 it makes more sense to buy no?
he'd qualify for a mortgage at that amount.
dunno base/stock split
lol no ones paying 180k in van
max for a new grad is 90-100k
dont let these larpers fool you
drives me nutes that people saying new grad can make 6 fig
gaotek pays 190k
lol
180k would qualify u for like 700k
google gaotek
uh
gl living in a bathroom
Utilities included?
u pay mortgage but the idea is you'd hopefully get all that money back or even more when u sell it. its generally an appreciating asset. - condo fees ofc.
does he have a car?
what do u think lol
im mememing
ohh
i dont see a financial future in canada so i dont plan to buy a house here
like you can buy a house elsewhere that isn't in the sticks
face the faxx we're born too late
im making 32k rn

and im happy paying 2k/month for rent
you guys just need to learn to live life
happily instead of dooming
itll shorten ur lifespan as well btw
🙂
i work for free at gaotek
buy low and rent it out and become a slum lord easy passive income
well if u ever traded stocks
you know the motto right
buy high sell low
thats how u win lol
canada is one of the best country to make easy money
im gonna be a brampton slumlord when the market crash n i scopp all the houses
That is the aws guy
freefood simp
ngl im also a free food simp
my dad came to canada in 96 and bought 3 houses in 01 for like 250-300k and sponsored his siblings and they all payed him rent during that time. now all his houses are worth 1.1m
thats because your dad is a G
most dads are poor and work as cashiers
or plumbers
that's the issue
Entertainment unnecessary
his hm gonna love him
my dad works in an aluminum factory
i knew of a dad that worked as a cashier his whole life, won the lottery
then did tax evasion
now he's serving 20 years
not much better
for tax fraud
u kill me porkml
Lottery isnt taxed
sadly it is my friend
Glad that he got banned
not in canada
i wanna keep the meme goin as far as i can till he realizes im pullin his leg
yah
rip its taxed in us
"All winnings over $5,000 are subject to tax withholding by lottery agencies at the rate of 24%. This potentially leaves a gap between the mandatory amount of withholding and the total tax you'll ultimately owe, depending on your tax bracket."
he didnt get banned
He left?
No soulkks banned him
@terse viper was pulling his leg and baiting him
and he took the bait and threatened him
like real threat or something idr
and mods banned him
nah that's not the one
he left too
van for 260k wtf
@worldly ridge u like my "sell ur body parts" bit?
gibe referral
I can invert a binary tree
Hi, I was just wondering does your org has any openings?

he should do onlyfans
i am keen to hear too
@flat stirrup
im from yemen
you can put it here so others can see
i am , dm me
There is no guarantee of a minimum number of hours per week. Your weekly hours may vary as required and you will be paid for hours worked as approved by your manager.
is this common or am I about to get rugpulled somehow?
thats in an offer letter
What company?
That's pretty sussy
Well I mean manager approval is pretty normal but no gaurantee is sussy
Whats the company
usually the standard is that you work a minimum of x hours per week and need manager approval if you go over 40 hours
or something like that
There's at least one user a week
Who's first message is
"7+ years dev exp, crypto/ai/react/mern"
And I just auto ban them
Since it always ends in scam lol
wtf 
I have 10 years of experience with rust. Buy my course to be like me
(unemployed)
Hey all, is anybody free to review my resume?
https://discord.com/channels/698366411864670250/1212208130985828392
Ex-FAANG, 6 previous internships and no interviews for intern
Rank 1 school in canada in montreal
How
mcgill cough
I don't consider anything out of Quebec to be Canada
Mcgill isn’t first tho is it??
it isnt
That’s kinda funny I like it
hollistically uoft is first
I carry uoft (your individual contributions are meaningless)
lol wtf is mcgill
He didn't say McGill though, he just said rank 1 Canadian university
And I didn't say McGill either
Except for right now when I said McGill
💀
fuck verily rej me
i already solve the code
Verily for ng?
intern
they have ng?
you solved the question but still rejected?
Bro left us hanging
yea
interview in 2 weeks
mines in a week
any one knows their headcount
4 last year
wow thats so little compared to the # of ppl who got the phone interview
already found 5 ppl with phone in this server
lol
yeah 5 in here means like 50+ phones no?
if your interview is in 2 weeks when are they gonna finish hiring lol
might already be at hc
2 give to UWaterloo se cs
i from uwaterloo ece then rej with less than 24hour
who is from BC here?
What's up
hows richmond
hows rent in that area
man this is called larping
i think u got rejected because i cant even understand ur english
u prob are a good coder but a bad communicator i legit have to scratch my brain to understand u
i warn you, do not accuse embingo of boisterousness and confusion
who hell embingo/
im telling you
his problem is comms
weak comms
good code...
ur english is so good did u move to the next round or did you received offer yet?
he makes minimum wage
lol
stop expose
stop this
im just telling embingo he has weak comms
thats accurate
i see
i cannot understand his englihs, genuine.
porkML do u acc work at unkonwn startup like peopel here are saying
cohere or smth?
jokes aside, if u got two coding questions right and still rejected then its probably ur communication
i see
did u go over ur approach before coding it? Did u explain time complexity? Did u answer any follow ups they had?
yep
i even explain the code line by line😭
i mean verily's a big enough company to get rejected after getting perfect. So might not be ur comm
the only reason i think why i got rej is my solution is not the optimize solution. come on, just 15 min, ask for optimize solution?
i mean thats a pretty valid reason
to get rejected
the first one i use is backtracking
no i dont stop saying i work at cohere u mozillla
optimize + no comms
thats the main issue
u need to perform at a higher bar in this 2024 generation
they ask you to do 2 leetcodes 15 min each?
its over for me
thats not possible unless you have done alarge number of questoins (3-400+)
yep the first one is easy the second little bit hard.
actually i spent 5-10 min for first one and 20 min for second one
only waterloo can pass this... or people with 350+
leetcode
nope the second one is harder than first one, no pseudocode, you have to run you code with the test case they given
i think Intact is a bigger name
Konrad is hiring ngs? dang
Intact better name
but Konrad pay more i reckogni
anyone know if I should learn Istio or should I learn Grafana?
im thinking of spending 1 year of time to learn either of those
maybe Istio --> Grafana --> KIbana
that would be incredibly good for tech stack dominatrix..
@quartz ridge you got offer?
no im applying
cant land anything
i grad last year december
still looking.
Oh I thought you got konrad
no i didnt
but i know someone who did
i think they pay very good
around 40 which is top .5%
for inern
intern.
anyone know how rare 90k+ is for a new grad?
stay meek, u shud take 30k
bro went from 30k to 50k
or if only stephen HL can unlock.
listen im ok with 50k
anyone has good book or youtuber
on system design?
i want to crack it open soon
Depends on the province/ city
Toronto? Not as rare. London? Gl

konrad pays 35
congrats on konrad @azure junco
THANKS!
congrats on amd
doubtful, manulife / the big banks are all around that I'm pre sure
pretty sure 90k is top 2%-5% in toronto
i would sell my soul for 70k
ok pookie be there in 20
Did anyone get Ziprecruiter OA?
Big banks pay like 25 so does manulife lol nowhere near 40 no idea where ur getting that number from
The average intern makes 20-25 max
Anything outside that ur pushing P
He’s talking about ng , can you please remove ml from your name
oh u mean new grad
Maybe ur right sorry…
citi pays 40+ for interns too
U mean new grad ?
nah intern
wtf
I thought it was only like coinbase borealis ai and faangs
scotia too, atleast used to
Companies pay more than before
Nah no way
Citi maybe
Scotia no way
They used PLUM
mhm, maybe wrong info then, but citi fs
I can believe that yeah
Exact same? XDD?
but its good money fs, just demotivating lol
1pass pays ok too
U have an idea?
I think 33?
For 1 pass
Their interview is free too
It’s like behavioural or somethin
yeah ws is like 46
