Sorry, I don't eat pork. I was warned previously for speaking in theological matters so I won't elaborate.

I am not well informed about that person 😕 😞

[wheat comet]

This is CS Careers not CEO careers. That makes this post disgustingly off-topic. You will be reported with haste.

[plucky ridge]

Fret not. I have already dispatched my fastest steed to carry a message to the esteemed moderation team. I presume they will carry out the task with haste and due diligence.

[chilly steeple]

I will be a CEO who will hire people from here... this is extremely relevant to the community and will be great for all of this channel's user and the rest of the team who are under me and follow me loyaly

does canada welcom foreigners for internship? US J-1 is very hard to get sponsored

[azure junco]

Ngl I've never heard of Canada hiring internationally for an internship

It's super tough even for international students in Canada to get an internship

[lofty marlin]

omg.

how about nonintern jobs? canadians say it's harsh condition even for them..

earth cooked

[azure junco]

I do think it's easier to get a nonintern job, I know a lot of grocery stores & fast food places often hire students regardless of if they're domestic or international (since Canadian intl students get a special work visa anyway)

But then again if you're going into cs do you wanna be stocking shelves at Walmart in Canada vs working directly in your field but in your home country

As a foreigner with a working holiday visa, is it unimpossible to get internship in Canada? as i know internships are mostly for co-op students

[high tapir]

V possible to still get internships, I opted out of the co-op stream and still got 3 internships

just mass apply

[lofty marlin]

oh good

let's intern in canada !@

[plucky ridge]

lets do it !!!!

[wind stag]

where do you apply at mostly

[magic cave]

But he's a foreigner

Even international students struggle with internships

Actually even domestic students struggle with internships

[marsh thorn]

actually

they both equally struggle

because international students are allowed to work

it comes in with their visa

[high tapir]

Solution is still mass apply even if it’s harder

I’ve worked with Internation students at internships before — but I’m not as unfamiliar with the holiday visa specifically so might be worth asking someone who also has one and an internship

[high tapir]

linkedin angellist and ycombinator

indeed

First internship I got off indeed Lowkey

[plucky ridge]

why lowkey, you got it or you didnt get it there?

[slim girder]

Yea I did it yesterday what’s your question this was for early career Waterloo

[naive shell]

Lowkey cause he wasn't proud of it

[high tapir]

Lowkey bc I wasn’t expecting to get an internship of indeed lol

[high tapir]

Yooooooooo

bros clutch

was jw the Leetcode difficulty levels bc recruiter said expect 30 line questions, so not sure if that’s easy/ medium or if I should expect hards. Also I keep wondering if they’re gonna ask dp or graphs bc I’m getting mixed responses there. So what Leetcode level do u think u got, and should we expect dp or graphs?

[high tapir]

Ngl I didn’t wanna stay there I openly told them I was Leetcode prepping and kept the backpack they gave me

stingy compny wanted their backpacks back from interns lol

[naive shell]

big dick energy

[slim girder]

It’ll be a leetcode medium question and definitely graph questions should be your priority when preparing no DP I heard they discourage interviewers from asking that here (unless you’re interviewing in India)

I was asked a graph question had to use a combination of dfs and minheap

[slim girder]

According to Google engineer lol you might get unlucky but very unlikely you get it

Just the phone so far haven’t heard back from that

[harsh imp]

Anyone interviewing for CIBC?

[rare carbon]

Can I dm you @slim girder

[high tapir]

Thank you bro this helps a lot

[high tapir]

Okokokok running through all the graph questions these next couple weeks let’s get it

and heap too ig

I’m Surprised u didn’t get any question asking about squares like Detect Squares because they’re all over the google recent 6 months on Leetcode

[slim girder]

Which leeetcode question is that specifically?

Goodluck man

[supple quiver]

anyone successfully push a big 5 bank internship from summer to fall

[supple quiver]

Summer 2025 to fall 2025

[high tapir]

There’s one called Detect Squares and then another super similar one where you calculate the minimum area square from a set of points if you pull up google last 6 months ull see dem

[high tapir]

Probably depends on ur manager or HR, if ur a return I’ve done it and seen it be done but idk ab first time

Be careful, not everyone there is a dev

[quartz ridge]

Question for everyone, would you guys prefer an offer from Apple, Shopify, or Google? Please message me back fast so I know what is the ideal path for my career into the coming storm.

How’s RBC?

[quartz ridge]

Is Gaotek actually better than these options?

[magic cave]

Why did bro lump Google in with those two

[quartz ridge]

You are an associate developer there?

I’m pretty sure Shopify is considered top 2 in Canada for startups

Next is Wealthsimple.

So it is comparable to Apple

[rare carbon]

google no brainer

[tough knot]

Apple

[vivid fiber]

Shopify isn't a startup

[vivid fiber]

Depends on the team

But I'd lean Apple or Google

[quartz ridge]

I’m getting a mix of Apple and Google which one would you take?

Apple TV and Gmail

[vivid fiber]

What would you role be on each?

[quartz ridge]

SWE for both

Doing backend stuff

Apple is in Cali and Google is in Toronto

[vivid fiber]

Whats the techstack for both?

[vivid fiber]

Also do you have a location pref?

[quartz ridge]

I think Google is Go and C++

And Apple not too sure

[vivid fiber]

@quartz ridge any location pref?

If not, id lean apple

[quartz ridge]

I just have Shopify Google Apple

Yes

[ruby ridge]

shopify is best for canadian patriots... which are you

[vapid latch]

has anyone done confluents frontend engineer interview loop?

[ivory pond]

in: resume

[humble aurora]

In what world is shopify even remotely close to google and apple

And google is considered better than apple no ?

I think google is a no brainer

[patent sigil]

What's your previous experience?

[timid trail]

Shopify

[humble aurora]

can u explain

[timid trail]

It is very prestigious

[humble aurora]

but not even close to google and apple tho

pay is less too

[timid trail]

i love shopify

[patent sigil]

Saying you worked on Gmail sounds cooler than Apple tv

[chilly steeple]

I copy pasted my resume on google search in hopes they would finally read it

[humble aurora]

gmail is way more core than appletv

[quartz ridge]

Thanks. Sorry I honestly thought Shopify was pretty close to Faang level. I might be wrong

[quartz ridge]

Startup and non tech company

[quartz ridge]

As intern. This is for a new grad position. I am leaning towards taking Apple TV.

[quartz ridge]

Any reason?

[quartz ridge]

Hey can I DM?

[quartz ridge]

Can I DM as well? Have a query

[timid trail]

Its shopify

[naive shell]

Gaotek

[humble aurora]

Sure go ahead, but my rational here is very simple: gmail has way more users (1.8b) and is way more recognized and known than appletv (40m subs), hence it looks more impressive because not saying appletv is a side team, but it is a less core team than gmail for sure.

I guess the netflix point is true

and sure video streaming can scale

not as much as gmail

i dont agree

sure maybe

but thats not what matters

what matters is the relevancy of the product imo

[magic cave]

I waited 12 hours for chest pain once in Mtl

[lyric imp]

can I post to #personal_projects with something I'm charging for?

purely in terms of positions also mtl sucks, for example theres no amazon in mtl, like why

[high tapir]

Is anyone else finding it extremely tough to get interviews in the states rn? Or is it j me lol

[high tapir]

I think isolated components in web dev and ui components will be really automated with AI, but still designing the architecture of the app would be best in the hands of a human

[magic cave]

The name and pfp change

Don't do it man

[plucky ridge]

[analog current]

[magic cave]

[ocean mountain]

quick question, do canadians need sponsorship for us work (internship and full time - or is it different for each case)? ive been seeing conflicting reports and just wanted to make sure i understand the application process correctly

for the question if im legally allowed to work in the us, should I put yes? and for the sponsorship questions, would the answer be a yes or a no?

[plucky ridge]

yes but @stable ravine doesnt need referral, dont they work at Google?

[ivory pond]

@ocean mountain

[floral tiger]

I just put no cuz, technically TN is a status, not really a visa sponsorship

[ivory pond]

I put No unless they specify tn in the question

[ocean mountain]

ah i see thanks @floral tiger @ivory pond

so for internship the sponsorship question is yes then

[lapis tide]

yes

[floral tiger]

yes

[lapis tide]

check pinned

[echo latch]

for people still wondering: I got what I wrote from immigration consultants so it’s as accurate as it’ll get lol

I should add that into pinned as well

uni sends a lot of kids to the US so they deal w this a lot

[ocean mountain]

thanks @echo latch

[floral tiger]

oh, I put that i am authorized

damn

[ivory pond]

U are not authed, yes u need sponsorship

Unless they don’t specify TN😝

[echo latch]

Authorization basically is asking if you’ve got a green card/US citizenship/something that allows you to work unrestricted

[floral tiger]

are you working in the us right now? also what degree do you have?

[lapis tide]

english major

[magic cave]

Grab some sandwiches at Old Mtl and make it a picnic

[normal parcel]

Do you know any good food places? I want to get a good rueben and poutine during my trip

[errant egret]

Does shopify give auto assessments?

[magic cave]

Reubens: Bain coloniale
Poutine: Au Pied Du Cochon, La Banquise, and Ma Pouille Mouillee

But I wasn't a fan of MPM and you get clowned on Reddit if you post La Banquise to r/poutine

[normal parcel]

Nice thanks for the suggestions

I saw a few ppl say MPM was good but yeah I'll take your consideration into acc

[magic cave]

They say it's good because it's big and like $15

[normal parcel]

Ah but the quality is mid?

[spiral kelp]

Is KPMG at Canada start their process for summer 25?

[rare carbon]

what did they ask you? any hard dp or graph?

[raven night]

wait their testcases r incorrect???

[analog current]

obviously incorrect

[plucky ridge]

they want you to fix the tests obviously uhduh?

[raw ocean]

completely half assed OA, idk what's going on over there

[rich wren]

Im pretty sure the OA is just badly made I dont think its one of the "fix it" ones since it has instructions to not change the test file specifically

[raw ocean]

yeah idk what they're doing

also being able to see everyone else's solutions

???

[eager haven]

i seriously don't know which genius at shopify thought it would be a good idea to make the OA submissions be public PRs which everyone can see

[rich wren]

fr 😂 Theres like typos, they didnt include the readme for testing, the test file is completely wrong and the Abc 123 test case is wrong as well 💀

[eager haven]

did the same shit for fall or summer last time too

[raven night]

did the same shit last year

[raw ocean]

wow so ig no one thought it didn't make sense

[eager haven]

and they had mistakes in the test cases last time too

[rich wren]

if this is the OA is this rly the place to be working at 💀

[eager haven]

they should have the intern they hire from this cycle create the OA for next year

[raven night]

im sure some lazy ft or some intern made this OA LMAO

[eager haven]

its a Senior Technical Educator who's been there 7 years

[raven night]

💀

[white gale]

[magic cave]

[tender coral]

[hallow urchin]

Anyone know if u can get internship referrals for msft canada/usa
Last time I tried, the employee didn't have the option

[analog current]

[hallow urchin]

He was able to refer me for a USA role but vanc the option wasn't there

[magic cave]

No way you believed him 😂

[magic cave]

I fed again today

-20 LP

Die a lot in League

I don't

I have the RO

So no big deal

Hang on

[magic cave]

Anyways I feel like software isn't the play anymore

I'm in like team meetings and the high-level coworkers are talking about how they can't afford this condo or that condo

And damn that would be my future

Unless I escape to America 🇺🇸 🇺🇸 🇺🇸 🇺🇸

[raw ocean]

in canada?

[magic cave]

Yeah I doubt

60k is the average salary in Canada and 300k would put you in the top 1%

Some people never make it to Senior Eng

And some people never make it to NG 😮‍💨

[azure junco]

It's possible, I know people making 300-400k in Canada, granted they're more like 7+ yoe

[magic cave]

That people can easily make 300k in Can

[magic cave]

But is $300K enough to live in Van 😦

My girlfriend is a rich fob

Not even a joke

I have to pay for everything tho

[wise rover]

I feel

like the average scares me from that

is that realistic? or you would have to be in a huge company to even attain that salary

[magic cave]

That's not realistic for everyone though

The safer bet is just to go into crypto

[wise rover]

Feels impossible based on the average. I think in any field theres the top 5% that make crazy figures

I used to think im garaunteed 200k off of being a software dev

now im struggling for post grad job

my girl garaunteed a major income from dentistry while im getting scamemd

[magic cave]

Should I swap to dent

[wise rover]

I love it, but its so saturated

[magic cave]

Restaurant owners make a lot

High margins

[wise rover]

at this point its like people who dont really like it can get a better job than i can

[magic cave]

Stupid people line up to buy Hello Kitty drinks or some shit

Sheesh

I just went clubbing every weekend when I was at Amazon

[wise rover]

how i get into amazon bruh

LOL

[magic cave]

What school

[wise rover]

when did you guys grad

UOIT

[magic cave]

It's over

[wise rover]

Went to UofT before that

[magic cave]

Oh

I don't know what school that is

[wise rover]

for 2 years

until i couldnt make

post

[magic cave]

I thoguht it was typo

[wise rover]

OntarioTech UNi

yeah

wasted 2 years

[magic cave]

Wait so you're PhD?

[wise rover]

no

[magic cave]

2 years post is a masters already right?

[wise rover]

no

Basically

i went to uoft

then realized

im not allowed to major comp sci

cuz of post

i triewd for another year

and my avg dropped

cuz courses got harder

then i switched out

got my first year creds trasnfered

I started over at UOIT

AS second year

my entire education got fucked cuz of uoft

[magic cave]

Oh so you grad in 2026?

[wise rover]

2025

i grad

This year

essentialy

[magic cave]

Interesting

[wise rover]

Yeah, i was 4 percent off of one course

to make post

but because of covid

[magic cave]

What tf is post

[wise rover]

they didnt allow us to take the course again

Its basically

UofT takes a bunch of students first year

you are in math, stats and comp sci program

but

not actually in a major

[magic cave]

Oh you need to get X to get in

[wise rover]

Pos. of Study is what post stands for

so

[magic cave]

But 4% is a lot yeah?

Like if you wanted to be the pinnacle of software engineers, you don;t want to be anywhere close to the cutoff

What's wrong with a math major though 💀

I see

[wise rover]

basically when covid happened

[magic cave]

That's why @weak gazelle alwats flexes Mozilla

[wise rover]

all the difficulty of online exams

were super hard

cuz proctured + they assumed cheating

so

a lot of grades faile

[magic cave]

Were you not allowed to hop on Discord calls with the boys?

[wise rover]

never

they wateched

also

you need an 85% in 2 courses

plus

[magic cave]

Oh McGill did not proctor 💀

[wise rover]

3.75 avg

Yes i do

I did

startup internship

[magic cave]

It did 😮‍💨

[wise rover]

I can give you guys my resume i just needa like...hide my info lol

[magic cave]

I originally wanted to apply for Neuroscience

[wise rover]

just so i have some help

[magic cave]

And I had a 4.0 and they didn't let me in

[wise rover]

thats insane

reminds me of applying for waterloo

[magic cave]

Bro

Your name is on it

[wise rover]

Ill just show and delete after

yeah idc

lol

[magic cave]

Looks like a fair resume

Probably needs to be more detailed and utilise star

[wise rover]

what is star

[magic cave]

Situation Task

Action Result

[wise rover]

hm, i will incorporate that

I heard objective doesnt matter

I guess it makes sense to also remove that

[magic cave]

Because things like "developed" and "implemented" doesn't really make sense

Developed X using what for what etc.?

[wise rover]

It is

._.

I dont get ideas for projects man

and i cant be pu tting youtube tutorials

Sigh

fuck

[magic cave]

Find something that bothers you

[wise rover]

Im taking my AI courses this year

[magic cave]

And then hire offshore developers to make a solution for you

[wise rover]

I wanted to make some AI based project

as its like kinda what im interested in

but

I havent learned enough

[magic cave]

import requests

[wise rover]

Also idk if certifications are worth looking into

[magic cave]

Certs are generally useless

Maybe AWS and Azure certifications though

[wise rover]

I think I have it, its just so burnt out

especially being this long undergrad

[magic cave]

2 years undergrad?

[wise rover]

more like 6 bro

[magic cave]

??

[wise rover]

5*
