Mobile?

Everything is satirated

What about vue?

[magic cave]

Terrible takes and poor research

[worldly ridge]

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jk9NLUyYEpw

[zenith eagle]

React more industry standard

Vue is like deno and react is like node

[wheat comet]

Many companies also use angular

Honestly ive seen vue used a bit too

[analog current]

Yea but isnt it harder

If imlearned vue first would it be easy to transition into react?

[wheat comet]

React vue i would say similar learning curves and angular is known to have a slightly harder learning curve

Other than food and lodging

Exactly lmaoo

[zenith eagle]

nothing gives me more joy than experience schaudenfruede of waterloosers taking L's

all that spoonfed opportunities and then still whining and complaining

saw a couple of posts on r/uwaterloo that other schools dont deserve faang offers

one of the people they pointed out to is my friend who graduated from ryerson and is ballin at LinkedIn, and they're pointing out that cuz he Ryerson kid he doesn't deserve it

I’ve heard smaller companies in Canada value your coops/internships more than if ur from top unis like Waterloo, is that true?

Nah I think I’m cooked then

[magic cave]

Are you from Waterloo?

[outer edge]

This is prob my last chance for internships and all I have is a shitty ahh midsize no name💀

No, I’m from a US uni and planning to do the M.Eng program at Waterloo this fall

[magic cave]

Ah I recommend following Nicholas Chen

In case ur wondering, I’m international and the US job market is totally dead, so I plan to come to Canada(at least I can stay for more than 3 months of unemployment)

He gave me several tips on succeeding at Waterloo entry and the internet search

On Tiktok ;-;

Oh I see, will do, Ty

I can assure you Canada is not any better

[magic cave]

Canada is actually worse

[outer edge]

That I’m very aware of

[magic cave]

@worldly ridge Have you checked out Nicholas yet

[outer edge]

But the US is much more strict with their policies for aliens

That’s the word they use 👽

Oh

Yeah Canada loves internationals

A lot of them work at FAANGMULA

[worldly ridge]

I dont care about UW

[magic cave]

(emphasis on the ULA)

I also have a mscs offer from a top US uni

[tough knot]

isn’t that a cash grab type of program?

[outer edge]

Basically

No coops

[tough knot]

then why do it

go for thesis based

[outer edge]

That’s why I’m hesitant to choose waterloo over mscs in the US

[outer edge]

The phD route?

[tough knot]

no

A masters but with the thesis option

instead of coursework

[outer edge]

Ahh I see

[tough knot]

you get a stipend as well

[outer edge]

Yeah you got stipend but it’s also difficult to get in

[tough knot]

yeah

[outer edge]

Canadian masters programs are actually more competitive than US ones

[tough knot]

makes sense

less schools

If you want a course work type or masters

[outer edge]

Less schools and smaller cohort

[tough knot]

just do omscs

way cheaper

[outer edge]

From Georgia tech?

[tough knot]

yeah, other unis have it too

but gtech is considered one of the better ones

[outer edge]

Yeah it’s great but I need to apply for work permits

Gotta do on-campus ones

[tough knot]

It’s online

[outer edge]

Another thing is master’s degree from Waterloo (or any Non-GTA based unis) will make it easier for me to apply for a pr

[fresh fog]

kendrick won obv

[tough knot]

Grad school is good at Waterloo, just not the programs that ask for an outrageous amount of money for the coursework option

I’m at no name uni with a 1 year internship experience am I cooked ?

Well if the master’s degree carries even the same prestige from the undergrad at least it’s worth something

For cs you can get in the thesis based program to have the stipend and convert your degree to a co-op one IF your advisor approves

So you'll get the uni name, co-op, and do some research and stuff

[outer edge]

Nah I asked admission committee and they said no coop for mmath cs now

[magic cave]

Lowkey even I feel cooked

[outer edge]

They only allow research-based coops

@everyone how many lc do you guys solve before breakfast ?

[magic cave]

Depends on whether or not I have an interview that day

[old osprey]

Bro idk what you mean by this. Every research field is different and Waterloo has some insane faculty in some areas

[magic cave]

If (yes) {0}
else {1}

[fresh fog]

what if you have multiple interviews ? should be proportional

[outer edge]

Well, Waterloo is gonna help me a lot for getting a Canadian pr, while mscs in the US means the same struggle as undergrads (h1b lottery, green card wait for several years)

[outer edge]

I think she’s prob comparing Waterloo with mit or Stanford level US schools

[old osprey]

Yeah it's no mit for sure

[magic perch]

This is so sad that smart people are actively saying they’d like to keep staying in Canada but are not getting any viable support

The Canadian government’s reward for risk takers working hard to make it in Canada is that they get to give away more of their money in taxes 🤡

[tender coral]

Wow this article is actually so good

[tender coral]

It's not fully government tho, canadians are very risk averse and instead of investing in stocks like americans, we tend to invest in real estate (tbh if you look at it it's been basically guaranteed returns for decades). America doesn't have that problem, they aren't risk averse, and housing there is comparatively cheaper. Insane that the Zhang said that he had to have the nod from american investors before canadian ones would even consider him, that is ridicolous wtf

[magic perch]

I would argue a bit of the housing investment is driven by the government’s promise that immigration taps will be free flowing

Hence guaranteeing demand

[weak gazelle]

it's mainly the government

[magic perch]

Also conversely new come immigrants are very unlikely to risk their few savings into risky tech bets, so housing is what they choose to invest in

[weak gazelle]

the canadian government is what's turning this into a mediocre economy

there's literally no reason to invest in canada

while the government should be incentivizing investments, they take the opposing move by acc deincentivizing it by doing stuff like increasing capital gains inclusion rates for all corps

[weak gazelle]

there's already a huge talent issue in canada, top talent doesn't move here because they don't have incentive to

and the few top ones that canada cultives move down south

for obvious reasons

it'll be extremely dumb not to

[magic perch]

The cap gains tax rate increase is huge. As a founder you are sacrificing valuable time with loved ones and precious resources on risky projects. Why on earth would you choose to remain in a place where that risk and time input is hindering your rewards.

[weak gazelle]

yea it's more the principle of the move

that the government doesn't even have the basics right

and believes in de-incentivizing true innovation

i mean that's a bit of a stretch but it's true because investment runs innovation

[tender coral]

Yeah that's also true, it's good for GDP numbers short term if people are spending money on houses, but long term it's not feasible every government just plays hot potato with the issue and doesn't want to do anything about it

[drifting shore]

idk, yes

[fickle juniper]

[magic cave]

Why does (insert any company) pay pennies in Canada

[barren sinew]

This is the outcome of most of Canadian media being owned by American conservatives. The inclusion rate in the US is 100% but the media is going into a frenzy for 75% after you make over 250k in capital gains

An honestly why shouldn't someone making over $250k in capital gains in a year pay a bit more. I'm making a considerable amount in RSUs this year and if the stock jumped where I made an extra $250k, I'd feel fine paying a bit more

[worldly ridge]

@idle plover How much did you pay in taxes this year? Tell us

[ruby ridge]

Whats your SIN?

[tough knot]

What’s the pay

[sly kindle]

Canadians are regarded

[cedar kayak]

Ain't amd like ~120k starting

[magic cave]

It's capital gains and profit

Not even employment gains

My Harbourfront apt takes $10 000/month

After paying myself for management and other maintenance I'm left with $2000/month in capital gains

[vivid fiber]

You're paying 10k a month in rent?

Ohh

[magic cave]

I would need 12 of those to even start hitting that number

And the taxation only affects the gains exceeding

[wooden lichen]

if someone makes this much but is the only one in a family of 4-5 bringing in a salary it might affect them

esp w col in canada rn

[magic perch]

More than 250k in cap gains is not very much money for founders putting in 80 hour weeks getting something off the ground.

[radiant isle]

Anyone got codility from Demonware?

[barren sinew]

To be affected by this tax, you don't need to make $250k in stock. Your stock needs to jump $250k from what you were granted. So say Google gives you $100k in stock. Your stock needs to jump to $350k before you start to get taxed a bit more.

Anyone with this problem can easily have a family in any city in this country

[barren sinew]

This can be said about any tax on capital gains. In the US the inclusion rate is 100% and founders are doing just fine. Canadian founders are screaming about 75%

I think you misread my message

[idle plover]

so far just this year ive paid 40k in taxes

[idle plover]

hey :3

[worldly ridge]

Where do you think your taxes are going?

[idle plover]

funding your fucking unemployment checks

you lazy piece of shit

[worldly ridge]

Why am I homeless then

[idle plover]

because im stealing your unemployment checks

[worldly ridge]

Im happy for you

[idle plover]

you should apply for more social benefits so i have to pay more in taxes

[worldly ridge]

I failed to pulled my bootstraps, I disagree. I deserve to be homeless and receive no aid from society.

It is up to only me to turn my life around.

should @worldly ridge be homeless

[magic cave]

Sounds reasonable enough

Yeah queens

[drifting shore]

@vivid fiber

[vivid fiber]

Hello

I am a queens alum

I listed my degree as bachelor of computer science when recruiting for itnern

Now that I'm a fulltimer i just list as computing

[vivid fiber]

Also if you ever need any advice feel free to dm me

Im always happy to help out queens kids

[drifting shore]

I listed my major as computer science

[idle plover]

if your rsu's just increase in value it has no effect on taxes

its only when you sell or vest that triggers a taxable event

vest is income

sell is capital gains

[barren sinew]

When your RSUs are vested, that's taxed as income. If that appreciates after that time, that's taxed as capital gains. In Canada only 50% of the capital gains are taxed

[magic cave]

Vaguely

I ironically stuffed my Montreal room with 3 South Asian men for $1800 total

It's a bedroom in a 4 1/2

Roommate hates me

And they hate me too

[wheat comet]

^

[barren sinew]

What @PEPSI said was correct. We said the same thing

It's not that crazy that your stock compensation is taxed. It's part of your income like any other income

[barren sinew]

I know you were being hyperbolic but I got curious and checked. You need to be making above $252k before any excess of that is taxed at 50%

(if you're living in BC. I included Federal and Provincial)

But cash bonuses are taxed like normal base salary. So it's still according to the marginal tax brackets, not 50%

Yea but you gotta make $250k before any of your income is taxed at that level due to marginal tax rates

250k

Atleast in BC

[safe light]

bc is better @barren sinew

[barren sinew]

I'm in Seattle

Like what?

Neat. I didn't know that

It's nice to be rich in the US, not otherwise

[azure junco]

Right but the 50% is only if your base pay is 150k already

Not saying that the tax rate isn't crazy high but it's not entirely accurate to say 50% is taxed

I think Canadians would be happier with the tax rate if we actually got something out of it

But it just goes into a fire pit

Yeah I agree

But imo if you make 150k and it's really that big of an issue you can get a new job in a place with a lower tax rate

Because most jobs that pay 150k in Canada are very prestigious and open up more opportunities

good thing I have basically no family here 💪

most of my family is in the USA that's why I wanna go there 😭😭

idk my parents chose to come here 20 years ago

All in all Canada is good yeah

The only bad part is CoL but if you make over 80k that's not really an issue

The culture, food, and people are all great

[stable ravine]

but i want more

If you have dual income each with 80k you can

But also there are houses on sale for 60k in Saskatchewan

[stable ravine]

Who lives in Saskatchewan 💀

Crazy

[azure junco]

40k on rent is crazy

I think 20k is more reasonable

40k is like 4000 per month

Sorry 3200

I pay $900

Downtown Toronto

Next to your

[stable ravine]

Living alone == 100% sanity

And the rent increases a lot if u r in a newer condo

[stable ravine]

Gonna live with roommates? 💀

[trail ember]

just wondering, where

[azure junco]

Sudbury

All along the go train routes houses cost 1mil+

[trail ember]

damn 4 hours drive from dt

[azure junco]

I love Canada

Where will you find a condo outside of Toronto except for maybe along the border though

[trail ember]

north york is also expensive af right now

it is a lot cheaper back in 2018ish

[azure junco]

The correlation is when Doug ford got elected

[noble field]

Finch is where dreams are made

[trail ember]

well I still prefer dt for sleeping at least 40min more in the morning lol
