one guy went from gaotek to geotab though

he found a job through g - > g pipeline

[worldly ridge]

is it all 8 interns in one team

[zenith eagle]

Mine was in descending order, train driver, train engineer, train mechanic, postman, pilot, aircraft mechanic, etc etc

[quartz ridge]

most of the others are doing online masters

[worldly ridge]

is gaotek just all interns

[quartz ridge]

like OMSCS

gaotek has around 20% interns

80% rest are either like PMs or Seniors

not many new grad or swe IIs

[worldly ridge]

unpaid interns right

[quartz ridge]

we have a very bimodal

yes unpaid

[worldly ridge]

20% unpaid interns

20% slaves

[quartz ridge]

bimodal distribution in seniority

[worldly ridge]

[quartz ridge]

relax...

dont call it slave

[worldly ridge]

sorry...

what do i call it

[quartz ridge]

it is employment opportunity

[worldly ridge]

sorry...

good times

Before transitioning into adulthood, children often view the future with optimism and excitement, believing that they can achieve their dreams and aspirations with ease. The idea of facing unemployment or financial challenges may seem far-fetched and distant during this period of innocence.

However, as individuals grow older and approach the end of their formal education, such as graduating from college, they are confronted with the reality of the job market and the pressures of finding employment. The transition from the sheltered world of childhood to the complexities of adulthood can be jarring, as individuals grapple with uncertainties about their future prospects and the challenges of entering the workforce.

Facing the possibility of unemployment after graduating from college can be a sobering experience, as individuals realize that their education and qualifications may not guarantee immediate success in the job market. It can be a time of anxiety, self-doubt, and uncertainty as individuals navigate the transition from the innocence of childhood to the realities of adult life.

[quartz ridge]

nope gemini pro

jk its gpt but why not gemini

[worldly ridge]

i use bing ai

[quartz ridge]

notion ai

is actually a secret weapon

[magic cave]

To steal your data and make your DB slow?

Yeah

[quartz ridge]

one of things that people will get wron

about industry is this

industry hires more leetcode tool monkeys than what is needed

good engineers do not spend time on resume

they spend time on hone skill

learn CI/CD and learn Istio

you will rarely see a passion driven non tool or lc monkey at top tech

they will be at places like Citi or Geotab

[magic cave]

How tf would you know about industry when you're unemployed

[quartz ridge]

because they know that real engineer is worth

more than selling ur soul to lc and hackerrank

im just telling u what i heard and learned

not saying it comes from me personally

95%+ people at top tech or Big N have selled their souls to the satanic lc monkey and are left empty

and uncherished just for a high TC. truly sad...

[magic cave]

No way LC is what's stopping you from getting a job 🥱

[quartz ridge]

I’ll never ever sell my soul to lc lol

[worldly ridge]

you dont need to do LC because ull never get interviews

[quartz ridge]

i got one with geotab

recently lol....

they asked a haccerrnk

so i didnt pass

but i aced behavioural

[ivory pond]

Congrats

[worldly ridge]

see you in mcdonalds

carpe diem

[magic cave]

Bro I tried applying for McDonald's

They asked me Trapping Rain Water II

I just wanted to work the register 😭

My savings are about to run dry and I'll have to sell my Maybach

It's over

[worldly ridge]

your asisan, you are the model minority

whyc ant u solve it?

perhaps you deserve to be unemployed

[magic cave]

Water my neck, you can ski on it

[worldly ridge]

I went to the woods because I wished to live deliberately... I wanted to live deep and suck out all the marrow of life... to put rout all that was not life; and not, when I came to die, discover that I had not lived.

[magic cave]

[broken whale]

Ft at startup or intern at big tech?

[tropic matrix]

Ft at startup

[broken whale]

Reason

[tropic matrix]

if they give RO then big tech

[broken whale]

Hmm

[tropic matrix]

market is bad

[weak gazelle]

@broken whale congrats on netflix!

[broken whale]

Thx bro see u there

[weak gazelle]

netflix intern > ft at startup

dont listen to @tropic matrix lol

big tech intern can be used as leverage for better NG offer

[tropic matrix]

are you a new grad?

[broken whale]

Cap lol

[weak gazelle]

5YOE at netfilx

so i know what i'm talkign abt

jk @broken whale depends on startup

if it cracked faang then go for it

if goog/nflx/meta/apple

only

[broken whale]

Uk which startup and big tech

[weak gazelle]

[broken whale]

[magic cave]

@weak gazelle Mozilla

Mozilla only accepts UofT students

[broken whale]

no

[magic ether]

hello

[weak gazelle]

and loo

earlier they had loo only internship

[tropic matrix]

hi

[zenith eagle]

Need to work on Firefox's SpiderMonkey JS engine

Mozilla engineering next level

[magic cave]

You?

[zenith eagle]

Or need to work on servo rendering engine in rust

Yea

I'm an omega Firefox and Mozilla simp

[magic cave]

Why not Chromium

[zenith eagle]

Mozilla's engineering blogs especially on improvements to SpiderMonkey and custom memory management and squeezing performance is so goated

They also invented rust and servo

[zenith eagle]

Doesn't seem as cracked, more complicated and bloated and not as great as Firefox I think

Tho V8 engine engineering is quite good

But like chromium and V8 engine is developed by at min thousands of developers but Firefox and SpiderMonkey is by just a couple hundred and still Firefox beats chrome or goes toe to toe

[magic cave]

Chrome is slow because they want your data

I showed up to a hackathon drunk this morning

[zenith eagle]

Channelling the true montréalais behaviour

[magic cave]

The project is due in 14 my group has no work and I need to sleep

[zenith eagle]

Hackathons are meme I think

They do nothing but fuck up your sleep schedule

Only people who seem to win are those who've had a great idea before hand and can either code it up on 2 days or basically they bring in previous work before the hackathon

[weak gazelle]

chromium cringe

[magic cave]

They're easy wins, it's like a business pitch and most CS majors are uncreative or too shy to present

Simply whip up some technically impossible Theranos shit and pitch to judges

[fossil field]

sara landry was mental...

[quartz ridge]

mozilla is good?

compare to something like coursera?

what would u all choose

1. moz 2) coursera

[fossil field]

why u asking? you got offers there?

[quartz ridge]

yes

i have the offer incoming

need to make the optimal choice now

moving beyond gaotek

@azure junco choices? @lapis tide

summon some meek

[fossil field]

coursera

[lapis tide]

mozilla

[azure junco]

push one to fall tbh

if you can

[magic cave]

I agree with Coursera

[quartz ridge]

i cannot push it

i tried to ask for the freedom not granted

[azure junco]

which has higher return rate

[weak gazelle]

coursera literally gapped by mozilla wym

[magic cave]

Mozilla hires UofT students

[weak gazelle]

and loo students

for internships

also not like u working on smth unknown at mozilla
Most/all interns work on firefox

[magic cave]

Does that make it better 🥱

[weak gazelle]

yea

cuz uoft loo are the most prestige and elite institutes in canada

that gap every other uni

[magic cave]

🥱

[weak gazelle]

ok

[magic cave]

McGill high diffs

[weak gazelle]

@magic cave

mcgill

hyper coping cuz he rejecc by loo poli sci co-op

[quartz ridge]

not too sure

[quartz ridge]

mostly they work on plugins from what i heard

[weak gazelle]

1 out of the 10 intenrs i know worked on plugins

no its not

check linekdin

lol

loo and uoft usually gap others by a good margin

[quartz ridge]

faang don't care about school...

only quant (jane street, citadel, hrt) care about school.....

just leeting you know..........

[weak gazelle]

faang literally cares about school

[quartz ridge]

don't be premature judging.......

no it don't.....

[weak gazelle]

it does

[quartz ridge]

my friend got in and he goes to nippissing......

[weak gazelle]

faang will care about school

[quartz ridge]

he got Zon offer in 3rd year nippissing.....

[weak gazelle]

cuz of saturation

nippinssing is cracked

[quartz ridge]

also know someone who got a Zon offer in 4th year (6 moths before grad) at Windsor Uni

[weak gazelle]

who did htis analysis

thye're clearly wrong

and you legit said this

it's not "similar" lol

the distribution so obvious

its similar across the non-prestige unis

wait ubc acc cracked but i feel like that cuz of amazon vanc alone

why WLU last i legit thought it was a good school for CS

lol what

??

didnt u go to loo @safe light

yea but literally everyone updates linkedin

nah i've never heard of ppl not updating linkedin after making it to cracked company

[tough knot]

ubc > uoft

damnnn

[weak gazelle]

bruh it probably takes into account allcampuses

check UofT St G alone is close to UBC all campuses

population is abt half btw

[tough knot]

ubc has multiple campuses 💀

[weak gazelle]

oh yea

true

ubc crtacked

my opinions on UBC have changed

[tough knot]

true kinda

[weak gazelle]

it now claims number 2 position after UofT

[tough knot]

uw 1st

[weak gazelle]

🧢

[tough knot]

Yes it is

Amazon doesn’t count

[weak gazelle]

@safe light most people who say "school doesn't matter" don't consider that it will once the saturation gets to that level

that's why IB literally is gatekeepedc by school

[tough knot]

If it didn’t matter no one would care about going to UofT or uw

[weak gazelle]

you know that they can simply have a school filter like they have in IB right?

in India they filter based on GPA

and school

both

lol

huh

you understand that companies may be forced to do that?

like what if there are 100000 applicants

they need an elimination metric

ok

[drifting shore]

zon is rng

[weak gazelle]

dont u literally go to loo SE

chyll

[drifting shore]

[weak gazelle]

so what do you suggest they do when they have wayyy more qualified candidates than they have positions available?

[drifting shore]

doomed to zon

[weak gazelle]

so you think filtering based on school is filtering randomly??

bruh

so acc to you, gettring into a cracked school is completely random

because that is only how what you are saying would make sense

[shrewd cargo]

how is mcgill compared to utsc

cs

[weak gazelle]

[tough knot]

Both good

Utsc is a prison though

[shrewd cargo]

which one is better

[weak gazelle]

lmfaoo wut

[tough knot]

Not in Canada

[shrewd cargo]

as in the campus or very difficult

[tough knot]

Campus

[weak gazelle]

waterloo is

waterloo SE absolutely is

[tough knot]

they’re about the same, and for McGill do you mean soft eng or cs?

[weak gazelle]

they usually just assume u go to waterloo when u say "canadian uni" and cracked company in SF

[shrewd cargo]

cs

[tough knot]

I do

[weak gazelle]

least biased non waterloo student perspective

[tough knot]

nah, Waterloo is better than mit

and what is cmu?

[shrewd cargo]

main thing is utsc has coop but mcgill doesnt

so yh. but i need to look more into it

[weak gazelle]

utsc imo

u can take utsg courses too

[tough knot]

Coop helps esp right now

[shrewd cargo]

is internal transfer doable

utsc -> utsg cs

[weak gazelle]

but i heard their co-op thing changed

[weak gazelle]

hard

[tough knot]

No

[shrewd cargo]

I see

[shrewd cargo]

ah yh me too

cant recall if that was for all uoft or only for utm

[tough knot]

CS doesnt accept internal anymore

[weak gazelle]

😮

send source

also those schools are startup focused

waterloo industry focused af

stanford -> faang is step down

for industry it is

[tough knot]

Stanford isn’t any more worth than uw se imo

you’re paying more for what?

[shrewd cargo]

whee do you get these stats

[weak gazelle]

stanford name is a lot better
i'm just sayinf for SWE i't sthe same

[tough knot]

What is Stanford class size?

[shrewd cargo]

i mean obviously canada market cant compare to usa but canada undergrand is still respected

[weak gazelle]

stanford venture capital potential obv gonna be a lot higher

[shrewd cargo]

people dont go to uni for education

they go there for the contacts

[tough knot]

For 60k a year lol

[weak gazelle]

absoultey worth

[tough knot]

def not

no cs degree is worth that much

[weak gazelle]

it is lol, you have that brand for the rest of your life

if you can't understand that then no point arguing

[tough knot]

school matters to an extent, but in no way you should spend 60k a year

[tough knot]

you’re delusional

af

[weak gazelle]

also liek SWE you can get replaced at any time,
VCs actually care if u went to an elite institute or not

[weak gazelle]

someone got rejected from stanford

[stable ravine]

8&3b cad?

[shrewd cargo]

because theyre in two different countries

what do you expect

[weak gazelle]

it's obvious copium when peopole say "stanford isn't worthh it"

lol

say that when u get replaced

i'm just saying VC potential

[shrewd cargo]

but they still come from canada

[weak gazelle]

i literlaly said if you wanna be in industry UW SE is the same hting

but you understand that Stanford name is known worldwide right? can't say that about UW

[tough knot]

All I’m saying is, spending 50k+ more on a uni is crazy

esp when you can get similar education from a diff uni

[weak gazelle]

not if you are going to an elite uni, at all

it's not about the "education" you can get the most efficient education online

[tough knot]

still a scam lol

[weak gazelle]

lol

[tough knot]

maybe if your parents have money to blow

but people who are paying their own way out, def not

[shrewd cargo]

[weak gazelle]

doesn't stanford provide fin aid for people who ccan't afford it

probalby not internationals though

[tough knot]

yes, doesn’t nearly cover all

[weak gazelle]

stanford MBA is literally goated

[shrewd cargo]

whats the US equivalent of uoft and mcgill

like ut austin or smth

[tough knot]

Friend applied and it covered about half…

same dude who went to uw se instead

no

[weak gazelle]

not going to stanford with half scholarship is crazyyyyyy

and taking UW over

[tough knot]

What is rich

?

[weak gazelle]

just take a loan and go lol

[tough knot]

What do you define as rich?

[weak gazelle]

i know this dude who took UofT Physics over MIT physics

[tough knot]

Yeah, around there

prob

[weak gazelle]

again should have absolutley taken a loan and gone to MIT

[tough knot]

lol

depends if parents help with education though

most people get screwed by osap too

[weak gazelle]

dont asian parents help with everytihng

lol

[tough knot]

💀

[weak gazelle]

???

taking a loan is not being a "slave" tf u mean

L take

[tough knot]

yes it is

[weak gazelle]

cringe take

[tough knot]

Slaving for a degree

[weak gazelle]

not for MIT it's not

[shrewd cargo]

you have to be confident in yourself to take a loan

[weak gazelle]

lol

[lost lark]

The alumni network alone puts it up there

[weak gazelle]

people here be thinking their faang swe jobs gonna last forever

lol

[lost lark]

thing is if ur in canada

u have less chance for TN with math major ive heards

[fossil field]

pee pee poo poo

[lost lark]

Yea

[weak gazelle]

my point is u better be investing in branding because i rlly don't think there gonna be much else that businesses gonna look at
when they can have tools doing the crux of the work

[lost lark]

How tough is it to get US grad school offer

[shrewd cargo]

im in the UK and math is much harder to get into than cs, but in NA it seems to be the other way round

[lost lark]

With like a 3.8 gpa

[shrewd cargo]

usa has more business opportunity and higher QOL

[lost lark]

Yes and no

[tough knot]

Care more about research and letters than gpa from what I’ve heard

[lost lark]

I have 0 research and 2 letters 🤣😭

[tough knot]

💀

[weak gazelle]

most people doing math have 0 business sense lmaoo

they're book nerds

[fossil field]

wagie? everyday u working is a day you upskill and learn something new

[weak gazelle]

literally worse than wagies

[lost lark]

No

[fossil field]

ur new grads now, you dont know shit. Work and learn and then after that talk about monies

[weak gazelle]

i said most not u

[lost lark]

Im not math

😂

[weak gazelle]

[shrewd cargo]

? most entrepeneurs on this earth would rather be in the US than canada

[fossil field]

yes for sure

us way better

[weak gazelle]

bruh i was talking to this math major and he was legit like every job shouljd make the same income

[fossil field]

but you can succeed in both countries

[weak gazelle]

[fossil field]

yea ew

fanng overated asffff

i wouldt want that

[lost lark]

Me asf

[lost lark]

Not in canada for long!

[fossil field]

make sure what u do that u dont do it just for money but to have passion for it and love it and want to be better at what u do

[lost lark]

Stay down til u come up lil bro

[weak gazelle]

@safe light where else would u be making that 300k CAD salary if not at zon lol

ppl ur age making 70k at non FAANG

[fossil field]

facts

[weak gazelle]

then do it rn what u waiting for
do it while u have the 300k job

[lost lark]

When you realize that the average canadian makes much less than 70k youll realize how privileged we are

😭😭😭😭

In what?

That sounds cool

[drifting shore]

30k from interning at zon

[lost lark]

Ik what youre feeling

Youre at that point where you want to start a business but you cant yet

[lost lark]

Itll take timr

Do you have a website for your product

I wanna see

Snm

[wheat comet]

This is the case at almost every company ur gonna go to tho, u might as well get paid for it

[weak gazelle]

what is ur product @safe light

will help u go viral

trust

simplify?

[wheat comet]

Realistically <1% of people gonna start something thats successful enough to support themselves long term

Best thing u can do is enjoy what ur doing, enjoy the process, and not make ur whole life about work

Ur here for a limited time dont spend ur whole life doing code unless u really enjoy it

[fallen mason]

Does it mean they want to continue with the hiring process?

Wondering so I can grind leetcode if so

Or is this just a regular thing before they take a look at resume

[placid dawn]

market in canada ded or are yall getting offers

[fallen mason]

Holy shit this is my first time hearing back from a company outside my co-op board

Wild

[rancid wolf]

it literally says they're excited to continue the [hiring] process in that email lol

[frozen sleet]

Is there anyone here went through J1 visa process with cultural vistas and also the interview at embassy?

I’m going thu one and looking for some help…

[nova spire]

Can anyone give a rundown of the process to get a work visa for say the US? I know there's something like point of entry and you apply for one there or the company you work for can sponsor you. Just more information on the process would be greatly appreciated or any links :D

[rancid wolf]

ng or intern?

also, canadian citizen or canadian PR? different processes

[lucid loom]

If ur Canadian citizen piss easy for NG

If ur Canadian PR ur just whatever other nationality u r rn cause it doesn’t count

Intern is easy for j1

In both cases easy but Canadian citizen don’t need appointment either so super easy in that case

[runic lion]

Anyone got an interview from Instacart for software engineer before?

[halcyon arrow]

Only rejections

[stone osprey]

is writing Canadian PR on your resume helpful?

[mellow dune]

Noa

[azure junco]

No

[drifting shore]

not really cuz we have open work visa

[nova spire]

intern and im canandian citizen

[nova spire]

so canadian citizens that r becoming US interns should look into j1 visa?

[stone osprey]

For intern I think the process is the same

[lucid loom]

They’re both J1

But u don’t need a consulate appointment

U can just invoke it at the border iirc

[rancid wolf]

you'll need J1 then like others mentioned. I'm sure there's articles / reddit threads out there discussing it somewhere, I've never done it tho

[weak gazelle]

altman fired as CEO

"fired"

[stable ravine]

@weak gazelle who is safe then

[weak gazelle]

nah many founders are smart enough to have a sensible board and/or org structure

[weak gazelle]

[weak gazelle]

nah the board was dumb

[fossil field]

ive moved up quite a bit and with my knowledge know i could be making 100k+

[weak gazelle]

[weak gazelle]

@fossil field the NG market rn is rlly bad lol

[neon imp]

Could do something like tangerine or similar?

[zenith eagle]

yes

congrats

if you're that concerned go with a neobank

[waxen drum]

which channel to start dooming

[zenith eagle]

2023 and 24 are classics

full time kinda bad to for some reason

haven't rlly been on any other channels

[waxen drum]

been lurking on those for the past couple of days

thought being active might help me lock in oh boy i was wrong

[zenith eagle]

i mean it's fun to doom while being locked in

ngl doomin in 2023/2024 was why i was able to lock in

and now im bing chilling

[waxen drum]

thats good ill get there eventually

but this weight on my chest every morning is getting annoying

[lapis tide]

wise might make sense depending on things

[signal garden]

who is aj

[zenith eagle]

intern recruiter/manager

i love him

you'll meet him soon enough, if u so choose to accept offer

[tender coral]

For shopify do just need to do the technical challenge early? Cause the only people I know that got interviews were were the ones that did in like the first week

[zenith eagle]

earlier the better

fwiw i submitted a bit late, but was still able to get interview

[tender coral]

Thanks I think that may have been my mistake

[signal garden]

@zenith eagle Do you know shopify comp?

[zenith eagle]

for intern?

40/hr last summer when i was interning

might be raised

but it's also in person

so idk

unlikely they reduce it

[signal garden]

@zenith eagle Do they allow defer to fall?

[zenith eagle]

not this szn no

they're doing this weird thing of in person, summer only

unless they have fall internship

why u askin me im no longer with them ask ur recruiter

also my internship was 100% remote

u gonna take it?

also wat skool? prev exp?

any other offers?

fwiw shop has been a fantastic resume booster if nothing else

enjoyed everything about it except the tech stack
