[azure junco]

(please nvidia give me a job)

[fresh fog]

I feel like using an existing architecture is kinda of cheating. One must come up with its own and not rely on RISK or CISC

[azure junco]

do you know os? if you want to run multiple programs you need cisc or else you will always have race conditions.... atomic instructions must exist

[fresh fog]

orrr you find a better architecture????

trivial

[quartz ridge]

This is fantastic…

[stable ravine]

[quartz ridge]

I’m in this boat….

I’m legit 2023 grad

[untold geode]

Cuz this shit isn't sustainable

[quartz ridge]

Still can’t find a single job

Idk what to do

Are you also 2023 grad?

[untold geode]

Yes sir

[pliant haven]

they never replied to me even after I did all that

[untold geode]

Or maam

[quartz ridge]

What is ur previous experience or school?

I legit can’t get interviews

I’m getting ghosted left and right it feels like tinder

[untold geode]

If I had a nickel for everytime i got ghosted

I'd be #1 richest man rn

Its depressing is an understatement, and frankly an emotion i am past feeling

I am legit looking for advise or learn what other ppl are doing

[magic cave]

What school

[untold geode]

UBC

[magic cave]

I don't know that one

[quartz ridge]

[magic cave]

Zon? 🥺

[untold geode]

[quartz ridge]

Have u applied to Scale AI I heard they are a god startup

But yeah market is brutal

Can’t land anything

[untold geode]

Working for departments on campus, like medical department

[quartz ridge]

I’m currently working as a barista lol

Hopefully 2025 ends up better

My persistence is strong but tbh

My motivation is low af

Especially when I fine tuned my resume and custom tailor for every app

And zero callbacks

It’s really brutal

[untold geode]

So its true, we're replacing the sociology majors at the cafes

[quartz ridge]

U didn’t get RO?

At ur intern

[untold geode]

Nope

'Financial hardship' had them restructuring

[quartz ridge]

I was working for free at Gaotek

For the longest time

Like unpaid

[untold geode]

💀💀💀

[quartz ridge]

And I’m finally getting paid, although not as an engineer

Sadly

Well I gues u could call me a coffee engineee

Engineer

[untold geode]

Its confusing cuz the longer this 'gap' exists on resumes, the more the recruiters grow wary

But its like, you mfs did this and are asking 'why gap???'

[quartz ridge]

Did u do a masters

Or no

R u still leetcodinf

[untold geode]

Nah

[quartz ridge]

And applying or have u given up

[untold geode]

Just undergraduate for now

[quartz ridge]

Like what’s ur modus operandi

What I’m doing right now is this

[untold geode]

Still applying, makes no sense not to

[quartz ridge]

I’m working 9-5 day job at Starbucks

Doing leetcode on the side

Custom tailoring and fine tune resume

Spam apps using handshake LinkedIn glassdoor indeed

And also chatting up customers for networking

Secured a referral to BMO through interacting with a starb customer

He interned there as a financial analyst

I work nonstop when I’m not on here glazing

Either leetcoding or fine tuning

[untold geode]

I'm trying to fuck around with new projects, to meet the demand for more 'real world' application

[fossil field]

work on connections and get job through that

[fossil field]

and do this. Deploy it and everything

also look at smaller companies you have better chance there for a job

[magic cave]

But I wanna work at faang!

😭

[fossil field]

no ur a loser

you havent once proved you are a decent developer

[magic cave]

What do you want me to do

🥱

[fossil field]

[magic cave]

Too doxxy

[fossil field]

show me an app u built

[magic cave]

Also too doxxy

[fossil field]

excuse after excuse

[magic cave]

Also building applications isn't conducive to being a good developer

Neither is GPA 🥱

But mine is above 95% on a 4.0 scale

[untold geode]

Aw man, tried that...made it to final rounds and got given the L

[quartz ridge]

You’re cringe and don’t deserve faaang

[fossil field]

[analog current]

[fossil field]

[analog current]

But those are the freshman

[fossil field]

[fossil field]

stop making jokes to mask for the fact you are failing

go work on projects and be on this server less, maybe it will get you a job

and go work on connections

[magic cave]

🤣🤣🤣

[magic cave]

That's why I'm here

[fossil field]

[kind stag]

https://tenor.com/view/cscareersuk-csuk-cscuk-cscareers-ukcscareers-gif-10863678244189749930

[worldly ridge]

Bullish

[swift kernel]

SPY to 6000 by 2025

[worldly ridge]

Housing? Bullish as well

[quartz ridge]

how prestigious is Box vs DropBox

anyone know anythig about this query

[drifting shore]

get offer first

[zenith eagle]

you know its hard not to believe in the conspiracy theories with they way the feds are operating

[worldly ridge]

cardboard box in toronto has more prestige

[zenith eagle]

everytime i read news about trudeau/freeland/miller/mendocino im like

what bubble do these tards live in?

[magic cave]

What is the conspiracy?

[zenith eagle]

there's no way they're this stupid, like they attended good schools and have a lot of accomplishments (except trudeau), so either they have a cognitive decline while in office or they're in it to make canada actively worse

but then again i meet some hick boomers and hear them talk and they're also deranged

idk

[worldly ridge]

they are serving corporations, not citizens. they are not dumb. this is what johnny silverhand told me. Trudeeau will create Arasaka buildigns and trudeau towns. Piere polivere will create Militech. Jagmeet singh will create Trauma team.

[magic cave]

Yeah Trudeau went to McGill, he's smart

But they're all just trying to pad their own wallets

[zenith eagle]

but like if they wanna pad their pockets, this aint america u can't be pelosi and become a billionaire on a $200k salary, at most u get like one or two mil

that's nothing really

[magic cave]

Lobbying and $80000 vacations

[zenith eagle]

is it worth destroying the fabric of the nation, exacerbating the anglo-francophone divide, and more?

[magic cave]

I'd do that for 90k job idk wym

Trudeau is a communist and the son of Fidel Castro

[zenith eagle]

whats funny is the quebecois sepratists always hate ottawa and anglos for the shit that gets imposed on quebec but literally now and most times in history it was always a quebecois pm and quebecois staffed caucus that shot quebec lol

trudueau is francophone, miller is from quebec etc etc

[zenith eagle]

u are the reason why this country is failing, going to the lowest bidder smh

trudeau will literally eat shit if it means he gets 1 more woke point that's meaningless outside of the bubble

[worldly ridge]

@errant flame thoughts?

[magic cave]

I don't think he actually cares about woke points

It's just a means of distracting people from the real issues in Canada

When people are arguing about pronouns or whatever, they aren't discussing the crumbling infrastructure, lack of housing, the ogliopoly on groceries and telecommunications, the 2 million immigrants added each year, etc.

[quartz ridge]

Is Dropbox any good

Or is Cisco preferred nowadays

[worldly ridge]

u r forgetting the id's piere is advocating for

[magic cave]

IDs?

The goonpass?

[worldly ridge]

the mind geek pass

[zenith eagle]

tories try not to fuck up a ez win challenge

again and again smh

but it's funny cuz if u'd ask anyone which party would introduce online id you'd be hard pressed to find anyone suggesting the tories

[magic cave]

Tories?

[worldly ridge]

conservative party

[magic cave]

The guy who peed on a girl?

[worldly ridge]

Interesting

Never heard anyone call them that before

[zenith eagle]

[zenith eagle]

same thing in aus aparently

and in uk/eu as well

[tender coral]

america is too big

[zenith eagle]

some kids in germany/norway acc dont know how to use certain words in native language cuz they useenglish too much

american soft power influence and cultural projection too big to ever stop

[tender coral]

lmao american culture is the default culture it's actually crazy

everyone says they have no culture but it's just the dominant culture and no one notices

[zenith eagle]

it's wild that the concept of a "default country" exists irl

im sad canadianisms will fade, and american stuff will take over

u already see it with all the culture war bs

[tender coral]

nah we're cooked bro

[zenith eagle]

also u have fools who consume so much american politcs they know more about american issues than canadian

protesting over some us judge dying like who cares

or trump being president and we have protests here

bro

protest about trudeau and company making life here miserable

u ask a rando name ontario's capital they say ottawa

smh

ask them to name who our head of state is they say trudeau

ask them the official residence of the pm

I had a question, would anyone here consider consulting?
My friend at Bane makes 200k a year as a consultant and can get me a referral to analyst (~120k)

And does anyone still keep projects on their resume when I have 7 professional experiences

[quartz ridge]

Nah they can’t make 200k

Unelsss 10YOE

You only make that kind of money in tech

Not in consulting

[magic cave]

It's MBB

And SCs at Deloitte make 100K already

[quartz ridge]

Only if they have high number of stars or user base…. Otherwise no

[quartz ridge]

After 5+ YOE maybe

Or if ur applying for NVIDIA and it’s some parallelized gpu training with cuda

Or some fgpa shit lol

Otherwise no……

TLDR….. only if u have user base high stars or niche company specific projects……….

[magic cave]

Someone else weigh in

[zenith eagle]

[tender coral]

Good shit bro clearly you on grind

[zenith eagle]

i hated the prof and the ta's

[tender coral]

Lmao

[zenith eagle]

ta's were soooooo dumbbbbbbbb

[magic cave]

I doubt this

[zenith eagle]

i was legit ta'ing

them

[tender coral]

They worse than dumb, it’s weaponized incompetence

[zenith eagle]

my roomie was a uottawa cs kid

i attended a few of his classes

[tender coral]

They just want a resume booster

[zenith eagle]

dawg idk why uottawa kids have such an ego

against us carleton kids

the quality of cs atleast was sobad

[ivory pond]

Carleton cs clears ottawa tho what

[zenith eagle]

yea but uottawa kids act like they're harvard or something

[tender coral]

Carleton cs is way easier wish I did that instead tho Ngl

[zenith eagle]

easier if u choose ez classes i think

u can overload on hard shit

[tender coral]

True

[zenith eagle]

some classes were as hard if not harder than some uoft ones ime

[ivory pond]

Which ones would u say

[tender coral]

But at uottawa you barely get any electives and the courses are hard for no reason

[zenith eagle]

anything taught by anil maheshwari

at uoft atleast u can bring in a cheatsheet with stats distribution and stuff

anil wnats u to know all the distributions and formulas and lemmas and theorems by heart

[ivory pond]

chad

[zenith eagle]

fuck that noise lol

u got offer btw @ivory pond

[ivory pond]

[ivory pond]

Yeah 100%

[zenith eagle]

tesla/rivian/lucid autopilot feeder

[zenith eagle]

blackberry rtos -> qnx is the brand name i thnk

[tender coral]

All their good engineers get poached lmao

[zenith eagle]

if they would legit stop playin and pay more

but noooooo

i miss my hull gatineau apartment

shit was so nice

[tender coral]

They can’t afford

[zenith eagle]

living in downtown hull mins away from alexandra and protage bridge and the river was so nice

[tender coral]

Canadian capital and investment is shit

[zenith eagle]

beautiful area didnt take advantage of it as much cuz i was busy grinding

[zenith eagle]

no they can they're just lazy

canadians are a lot like aussies

[tender coral]

I guarantee a company like that in the states would be drowning in capital

[zenith eagle]

wanna chill and very risk averse

esp in investments

[tender coral]

To risk averse and stingy when it comes to public investment also

Commonwealth tings

[zenith eagle]

"hmm i have some money what do i do? invest in a business that's amazing and has a big moat? no too risky. i'll invest in housing and land"

meanwhile amazing startups and businesses are begging for money

[tender coral]

We have a lot of good entrepreneurs but they just go to the us cause there’s no money here

We need a big Canadian venture capital fund for tech like y combinator

[zenith eagle]

but like not like this just limited to canada

[tender coral]

That would be amazing

[zenith eagle]

this problem of braindrain to us is all over the world

a lot of eu startups and companies now in us

[tender coral]

Unlucky and lucky that we share a border

[zenith eagle]

datadog,uipath,etc

same thing with australia

atlassian aussie company but now hq and main office in usa

imho most countries really trifle innovation

like eu trynna block nvidia

[lapis tide]

congrats on nvidia

[tender coral]

No one else is set up in a way where they can expand to US without actually going there except for Canadian companies

[zenith eagle]

or india and china putting regulations on requiring lengthy and costly govt permission to deploy an ai model

like

wtf

even a simple ai model u need permission?

dawg

[tender coral]

Yeah but their governments aren’t too good

[tender coral]

Makes sense that they moved but Canadian companies don’t talent pool is already big in Canada and the most they would need to move is prolly to Toronto and open up maybe a second office in another large market in the US

Shopify still has HQ in Canada for example

[zenith eagle]

yea apparently vc's have a saying about canada: "us talent but for eu prices"

spitting in our faces

[zenith eagle]

mfers didn't give me or anyone ro

sour taste

oh well

still wish them well tho i loved my time

respect it more for being in canada still

[tender coral]

Same with Hootsuite I think not too sure how big they are tho

[tender coral]

Didn’t even give me an interview lmao

[tender coral]

I need that diversity send the application link lmao

[zenith eagle]

they're kinda rng

i wouldn't sweat it

i only got interview cuz i had a ref i think that helped a lot

[tender coral]

Damn that sucks, their application process is a pain too with that app they make you do

[zenith eagle]

they didnt even look at it brah

kinda got mad cuz i put so much effort

it was just a barrier to make fewer people apply apparently

[zenith eagle]

god why is our country and government so f||redacted|| and g||redacted||

makes me ashamed tbh

[zenith eagle]

what'd they ask in coding round?

i know they switched it from lc style pair programming to rails web app task

looking for if u can code + work in a team primarily

so if u can code but cant work in a team

or if u cant code but can work in a team

fuck up coding means many things

how big

like off by one error? and u did well build a rapport with ur pair programmer interviewer?

u chillin

off by one but didnt build any rapport?

idk how much focus they give for rails specific task since when i did it was language agnostic coding interview

i was asked some problem of fares travelled with a twist - basicallyez building up to hard

basically lc but with a little on top

sounds similar

what was the q

oh

uhh

tell me the q lol

dm if u want

hard to say

depends on if others also didnt get to 6

[zenith eagle]

bon matin

[twilit merlin]

Anyone know if we can use Bank of America for payments and salary in Canada? Or do I need to open a Canadian bank account? And if anyone has opened a Canadian bank account as a foreigner was it a difficult process and what documents did u need?

[hardy island]

anyone know the intern process for autodesk?

[pastel fulcrum]

1. apply
2. get ghosted

[naive tulip]

so real

[hardy island]

i mean how many rounds for intern interview

[zenith eagle]

2real

also for ng, i applied with ref, recruiter call

ghosted

lmao

[polar dust]

does anyone here have experience with getting security clearance with reliability status level, and pass security assessment for the Controlled Goods Program (CGP) and ITAR

[hardy island]

anyone interviewed at BlackBerry for devop role？

[tender coral]

these guys rejected me for every single role I ever applied to wtf

[hardy island]

so sorry to hear that

[drifting shore]

Loo?

[drifting shore]

They only hire from loo

[tender coral]

Who tf do they think they are lmao

But some of the jobs were in Ottawa damn

Ik you joking tho

[magic cave]

I do, what you need

[ivory pond]

I interviewed for a similar role

[tender coral]

All good bro good luck on your interview

[quartz ridge]

Devops is actually very important

[hardy island]

thx bro

[polar dust]

dmed

[fossil field]

actually?

[gilded charm]

Rejection or actually cancellation?

[tender coral]

What company? Depends

[drifting shore]

doesnt matter cuz u got rejected

[azure junco]

why would they lie

[rancid wolf]

if you're a canadian citizen that doesn't have a criminal record you'll be fine

reliability status doesn't take too much to get

[quartz ridge]

Yes lol

[quartz ridge]

I actually listened to your advice

Didn't get any follow up after the referral

But it was a good change of pace

[fossil field]

wooot congratz! keep it up

chances will keep increasing the more you do it

im proud of you

[quartz ridge]

Thanks

I been talking to customers at work

How many hours do you code a day @fossil field

[polar dust]

even if i was not born in Canada and hold dual citizenship the other country? (I was born in hong kong so I also had hong kong citizenship)

[rancid wolf]

I'm gonna be honest with you man that'll probably make it significantly more difficult lmao

I know hong kong isn't exactly china (or at least it wasn't until recently), but they'll probably be more inquisitive into your background is what I would guess

[magic cave]

It'll definitely take longer because they'll have to investigate the HK side but I think as long as he's citizen should be approved

[tender coral]

You’re chilling

[fossil field]

at work? ranges between 4-6

[gilded charm]

Intern role with a bio tech

[gilded charm]

Idk just trying to figure out patterns

[gilded charm]

True.

[compact pike]

anyone know what kind of questions they ask in amazon interview

some people I heard say they didn't even get any Leetcode Questions.

[dusky lintel]

i can share some info about how amazon interviews work

interviewers have a choice between using

1. their own questions

2. choosing a question from the internal amazon question bank

3. some amazon teams have a pool of questions they like to use. some interviewers have their own favourite problems. these can be object oriented or leetcode style, and are usually not from the question bank

4. the question bank is supposed to rotate out questions once theyve been leaked to the public.

I assume you're interviewing for an internship. I'd say ~50% of the time, interns get a simple objected-oriented design problem. you can google for some examples and practice this. remember, since the question is up to the interviewer it could be anything.

Yeah I'm thinking the West has fallen

[turbid crater]

It’ll definitely payoff, around 80% of it will be garbage but your future self will be grateful for that 20% that’s useful

[halcyon arrow]

2 jobs for 80k + equity

Is that good for a new grad?

[magic cave]

I think 80k is average yeah

[halcyon arrow]

For two jobs?

That's 40k a job

[magic cave]

Two jobs?

I think "Data + ML Engineer" is one job

[halcyon arrow]

Data + ML engineer

That's two positions

[magic cave]

What position is data

[halcyon arrow]

data engineering

[magic cave]

You've been hanging around overemployed.com too much

[halcyon arrow]

lol

[magic cave]

The definition of data science jobs, especially in startups range a lot

[halcyon arrow]

I doubt most data engineers are also doing machine learning

[magic cave]

I think having to create the data and then develop AI models on it can fall into the scope of one job

[halcyon arrow]

Data engineering is something different?

[magic cave]

But also to be unemployed for an entire year and then suddenly securing two jobs is unlikely

[halcyon arrow]

Hmmmmm

[magic cave]

My definition of data engineering is the ingestion and processing of data, and then you could reasonably use it to train and develop ML models off of that

But also companies can name their roles whatever they want

[quartz ridge]

lol this is the only time this Scale AI nerd is right. It’s pretty obvious it’s one job lmao

No new grad job pays 40k. It’s just a position where u do data Eng and ML

It’s not two jobs….!

[magic cave]

At least I'm not unemployed 🥱

[quartz ridge]

Idc im improving and happier than y

You

U could make 300x me I’d still be happier… u complacent…. Learn to enjoy code and life….

[halcyon arrow]

Lol your username makes it sound like it

[magic cave]

You're on Discord 24/7 and continue to provoke me

Doesn't sound like somebody happy to me

[quartz ridge]

He only cares about prestige and money and values nothing else in his life

[halcyon arrow]

Do you run a minecraft server on the side?

[magic cave]

Marijuana and women

[quartz ridge]

0 matches on hinge

500tc 0 matches

Maybe if you were 2 inches taller

[halcyon arrow]

500tc you could churn through escorts and mail orders brides

And why don't you put 500tc on your hinge profile?

[magic cave]

He's talking shit

I'm only at 170

[quartz ridge]

He’s trying to prove he’s worth more than a bank account

[magic cave]

And I'm not 5'4

[halcyon arrow]

170 tc or base?

[magic cave]

TC

[quartz ridge]

You said you were 5’4 like a week ago

[magic cave]

Who getting 170 base

[quartz ridge]

You grew,

?

[magic cave]

I also said I was unemployed 2 weeks ago

[halcyon arrow]

Everyone in NYC and sf

[magic cave]

In Canada

[quartz ridge]

So u became employed and grew 5 inches

Nice

[magic cave]

I never mentioned my actual height (?)

[quartz ridge]

Uhh u said 5’11

[halcyon arrow]

So u got ur 80k and now ur trying to get 90,095.45?

[magic cave]

That's 7"

[quartz ridge]

Too lazy to find ur message

[magic cave]

I'm 175

Whatever that means

[quartz ridge]

175 is 5’9

Brother

[halcyon arrow]

[quartz ridge]

Bro is wearing stilettos and measuring his height

[magic cave]

Anyways

[quartz ridge]

Learn to go barefoot

[magic cave]

No that's the price of bitcoin

But I like to pretend I am unemployed to learn the feeling of gratitude and piss people off on Discord

[halcyon arrow]

lol what

[magic cave]

170K is not a lot when I compare it to my American colleagues and other monsters at my school

So I must explore the depths of Discord and realise that maybe it's not so bad

[halcyon arrow]

The faang or bust ppl?

[quartz ridge]

Lmao so cringe

Ur whole life ur comparing to others

You’ll never be content 🙂

[magic cave]

Yeah

Are you?

[quartz ridge]

🙂

[magic cave]

🥱

[halcyon arrow]

The only thing I admire is how they never got laid off and stayed at the only company they worked for.

I know a guy who's worked for Nvidia as an intern and now a FTE out of school.

[magic cave]

I think I know this guy

[magic cave]

McGill?

[halcyon arrow]

no...

[magic cave]

😦

[halcyon arrow]

Another guy I know just worked for Amazon as an intern and then a FTE and then moved to twitch and survived three rounds of layoffs.

[charred basin]

i have a friend who interned at amazon , graduated got full time offer from amazon and has been there since last 2-3 years making 6 figures

[magic cave]

. . . Isn't this normal?

[charred basin]

yes

it is

[magic cave]

I had a friend who graduated but couldn't find a job

And now he works at Starbucks talking shit on Discord

And he's 5'6

[charred basin]

im working freelance though for now while i job search

[magic cave]

[charred basin]

[halcyon arrow]

openai and nvidia is the new faang

[magic cave]

It's because of the pfp

[charred basin]

[worldly ridge]

[magic cave]

Black and white edgy anime character

[worldly ridge]

[magic cave]

@analog current back me up

[worldly ridge]

[magic cave]

I'm a 14 year old hispanic girl

[worldly ridge]

[magic cave]

You got me 😦

[magic cave]

But that's not true

[worldly ridge]

[analog current]

you’re both right

[worldly ridge]

ders probs 1 dude

[analog current]

edgy anime pfp = indian, kpop = asian

[worldly ridge]

^^

[charred basin]

[worldly ridge]

anime pfp can be any racec except latam ppl tho

[charred basin]

imma have to change my pfp

[magic cave]

You changed your PFP 😦

[magic cave]

[terse burrow]

[charred basin]

@magic cave

[magic cave]

Actually it was really trippy

When the plane landed everybody clapped

[worldly ridge]

what

why

[charred basin]

this is why i said from my pfp specifically

[magic cave]

Americans just do that

[worldly ridge]

[strange jay]

anyone gonna be interning in Vancouver from May 18th ish to August 9th?

[glossy condor]

real job openings? or fake ones like these

[barren sinew]

Big companies are still sponsoring. Idk about small companies but it doesn't hurt

[zenith eagle]

bonjour mes ami

[tender coral]

How about Waterloo students?

[gentle palm]

It doesn't matter what uni you go to when it comes to immigration sponsorship with Amazon (or any other company)

[weak gazelle]

[tender coral]

Damn I had no idea so I guess they do their internships in Canada?

[weak gazelle]

Congrats on Waterloo

[gentle palm]

yes, if you wanna work at Amazon (intern), you apply to Vancouver/Toronto

[drifting shore]

They do, for loo

[drifting shore]

They do for loo

[tender coral]

Makes sense

[zenith eagle]

not for loo only

they just changed their stance

i think if hm really wants u

they can make it work

but 99% not happening

[gentle palm]

Highly doubt it lol, at least for all the loo students and alumni I’ve spoken to

[drifting shore]

#2024_summer message

[gentle palm]

One of my friends at loo got the offer for Seattle, but recruiter found out he needs sponsorship, they transferred him to Vancouver lol

Could be hm dependant, but more likely than not, they won’t

[drifting shore]

https://www.linkedin.com/in/tristanlam/

found a decent amount of loo interns in seattle on linkedin

maybe they all hav green card

[gentle palm]

lol true, or maybe I just don't know what I'm talking about and just yapping

quick question, What do y'all wear for your interviews (dress shirt, suit, uni hoodie etc.)

[drifting shore]

i don't wear anything special

my interviewer was wearing a scooby doo shirt

[wheat comet]

I just wear a button up black dress shirt

But all my interviewers were wearing random tshirt or hoodie

Does hurt to look presentable

Doesnt*

[fossil field]

i usually do like a nice sweater like date night clothes

and black jeans or dress pants

black pants*

[drifting shore]

tru

[ashen mason]

i've interviewed 60+ people and never noticed what they're wearing. doesnt matter in this field

[magic cave]

Halo effect is still real

I wear half-rimmed Ray Bans, YSL Y, Burrberry puffer, a basic collared black shirt, use a hair straightener for volume on my hair, no pants because it doesn't matter, Bulgari viper ring, and Balanciaga punk blade necklace

[pallid reef]

[ivory pond]

Black knitted sweater

[wide prairie]

Hey I'm gonna be interning in downtown vancouver this summer too, feel free to reach out if you know a place for housing :)

[zenith eagle]

[zenith eagle]

i did it for the Lulz

im not taking crud offer

[lapis tide]

what if they paid you five billion dollars

[lost lark]

Yea

Last year

[zenith eagle]

if i get offer im using them as negotiation practise

see how high it can go before i reject

[lapis tide]

yeah but what if they paid you five billion dollars

[zenith eagle]

do u have an offer yet or

[lost lark]

Nah lmaoooo

😂😂

[zenith eagle]

well im sayin lemme see the numbers first

and then i'll decide

[lost lark]

There are so many ppl switching to non swe new grad i was wondering how many ppl here are doing that

[placid dawn]

hi

hows market

[zenith eagle]

non swe ng?

like what jobs?

[lost lark]

Business analyst, financial analyst

That type

How many of yall are waterloo/uoft grads 🤔

[zenith eagle]

what school did u attend

dude school dont matter

[lost lark]

For coop it definitely does

The ppl ik with jobs are all coop conversions

😂

[zenith eagle]

i mean if you're in coop just get one or two and leave and get things on ur own

less bullshit to deal with

what skool did u atend tho

[magic cave]

School absolutely matters

Some people attend York and then have to scrounge for jobs while being a barista

[gentle palm]

yeah, but it would only matter that much if you've completed 0 internships

or co-ops

[zenith eagle]

?????????/

r u fuckin rumb

most cracked people i knew went to ryerson york

[magic cave]

Oh wait are you york

[zenith eagle]

hrt

no

hrt akuna ramp

it really dont matter too much man

[magic cave]

Nah I was talking about @quartz ridge

[zenith eagle]

if u can become good at skills on ur own school dont matter

[magic cave]

For sure

But you also have to get through the screening processes

[vivid fiber]

My housemate went to york

He's not cracked tho

[drifting shore]

york -> hrt

[weak gazelle]

most cracked people go to uoft

and then the uoft rejects go to waterloo

the waterloo rejects go to UBC

and so on...
