[tender coral]

Really? That’s crazy wow

[magic ether]

what’s robinhood process like?

[supple quiver]

oa -> phone -> final

[velvet gate]

what about asana?

[azure junco]

apply , do some interview , then offer

[slender bear]

for interns its apply -> 1h30 "phone" which is a technical -> final (which is like 4h)

no new grad roles this year

[velvet gate]

So far i had :
apply -> take home -> 15mn hr phone

I guess it changed

[slender bear]

damn my 1yo info is outdated

I'm guessing you'll still have the two technicals I mentioned

gl! asana is an amazing place to work

[tender coral]

Any canadians had plaid phone?

[magic cave]

They hire interns for 0TC and 0 stock options

[spice lance]

anyone do super oa?

[weak gazelle]

Waterloo is acc rlly based lol all the smart ppl I’ve usually seen at the hedge fund I’m at are from Waterloo and it’s pretty much the only Canadian university that’s recognized in the US

[ivory pond]

Are u forgetting Carleton

Is ur hedge fund stupid

[weak gazelle]

What is a Carleton

[weak gazelle]

Hey don’t say that

[ivory pond]

[weak gazelle]

My hedge fund has rlly smart ppl working for it and most are from Waterloo

[lapis tide]

[weak gazelle]

Also the other day i was having a conversation with my mentor who’s a QT at the hedge fund that I’m working at and i mentioned I’m from UofT (doing CS) and he legit had never heard of it he’s from Waterloo btw

[lapis tide]

there’s no way

[weak gazelle]

Yea fr not making it up lmao

[raw ocean]

I can vouch, ppl at my internship only knew loo, not even uoft, or ubc

[fallen badger]

for shopify references do they contact ur old companies

[lean prawn]

how long after life did they ask u for references?

[fallen badger]

havent asked me yet but they said they will hopefully get back to me soon i was just curious

so can i just ask my old employer to write a reference letter for me and i send it to them, or do they ask them directly

got it thanks

[distant fern]

People who passed the tech for shopify, how long did yall's inv for the life story take to come?

[mystic junco]

[distant fern]

[kind tundra]

Bro did not read

[mystic junco]

[distant fern]

the inv/portal = pass

[kind maple]

[mystic junco]

[kind tundra]

Yes

Portal.shopify

Something like that

https://portal.shopify.com

[compact sapphire]

U ended up getting tech interview?

Or not yet

[distant fern]

super bait question

[mystic junco]

around 400-500 maybe

[halcyon arrow]

I contributed to shopifys code base and couldn't get an interview from them

[mystic junco]

i wonder if employees can read sales of all the youtubers that use it for business

[kind tundra]

Yeah

[wild flicker]

has anyone done the pair programming interview for shopify intern positions before?

[peak herald]

Anyone get a reach out from Microsoft recruiter?

[lean prawn]

does getting life 100% mean u passed technical ?

my portal doesnt even have pair programming tf

[wild flicker]

wait what

is ur lvl2 the tech interview then?

[lean prawn]

no

[wild flicker]

r u dev degree

[lean prawn]

nah

[wild flicker]

then i have no clue

bro idk wtf they want from me for the pair programming

why cant it just be leetcode

[lean prawn]

my shit tweaking

[wild flicker]

they said its a system design question

does anyone know what i can expect

and how i can prepare for it?

its an internship position by the way

someone plz help 😦

[slender bear]

lock in my guy

[magic cave]

Sys design is easy if you're even somewhat competent

Leetcode is far worse

[kind maple]

ye - they have the intern process here https://internships.shopify.com/

[wild flicker]

really? i like being able to practice the questions and recognizing certain patterns. idk what system design really is even? im also not competent so thats another issue

[slender bear]

interviews are conducted to gauge competency

[wild flicker]

okay dont roast me for this but, shopify also said this: Throughout the exercise, you’re encouraged to use whatever programming language you are most comfortable with and refer to resources you usually rely on (Google, Stack Overflow, Docs, etc.). does that mean i can use chatgpt cuz i HEAVILY rely on gpt

[wild flicker]

system design is insane for a 35 minutes intern interview tho no?

idk i would much rather just get leetcode

[slender bear]

not insane

start reading up

[wild flicker]

alright ill try my best

[broken whale]

Anyone get c1 canada oa yet for ng?

[broken whale]

Except him

[stable ravine]

@vivid fiber this guy is making fun of me coz im jobless swe working at mcD

https://tenor.com/view/wagie-wojak-gif-18834650

And I dont even get tips

[quartz ridge]

76k is good

?

[broken whale]

@stable ravine at databricks and larping as mcd employee

[wild flicker]

not object oriented programming/design? my email said this tho:
You will participate in a 35 minute Pair Programming activity with a Shopify Developer. We’ll present you with a Systems Design problem that you’ll take the lead on solving with your interviewer. You’ll be the ‘driver’ writing the code, but you’ll work together on the solution. We’ll share the problem, and you’ll solve it in your Integrated Development Environment.

Throughout the exercise, you’re encouraged to use whatever programming language you are most comfortable with and refer to resources you usually rely on (Google, Stack Overflow, Docs, etc.).

if its leetcode why would they let me use stack overflow?

i see but was it easy at least?

just know strings/arrays and basic data structures typa questions?

yea maybe they did but i guess its good to be prepared for both

alrighty so ill prepare for an easyish - mid lc question, and design questions aswell

honestly ive been getting diff answers from everyone

gotcha, and no skeletal code provided like leetcode im assuming?

and no test cases?

ohhhhhhh

thats pretty different

maybe thats why they said system design

alrighty will do

[cursive abyss]

I also got an interview from huawei for swe coop. Do you mind if I dm you?

[timber lynx]

[raw ocean]

hackerrank -> phone -> back-to-back technicals -> offer

[magic cave]

Just grow stronger

And defeat him

It's okay, those without pure intentions will suffer the five decays of Deva

[pseudo wedge]

[lean prawn]

yea i see this

[pseudo wedge]

huh? didn't they send an email asking you to public it

I got my email for the portal w/ life story invite

lmao that works

I guess portal doesnt do anything the point is it has all the values that they want you to study before life story

does your PR have the reviewed tag

If it doesn't you should email them so they review it

aww :( It's just resume filter then
or u failed test cases

[raw ocean]

what's the porkml story

[supple quiver]

doordash canada is out

[pseudo wedge]

[quartz ridge]

U get senior swe if u intern at amplify as ro

[turbid crater]

Started from the bottom now we here

Guys I just had a rejection email? How do I handle that? I’ve heard it pretty common during swe application but it really hurts 😔

Is there any senpai willing to refer a rookie 🥹

[river plinth]

#canada message this recruiter looks promising for a referral

[worldly ridge]

baklava is american food by that logic

turkish > arab > bosnian > serbian baklava

[zinc knot]

cibc not got allat to be acting like tjat

[turbid crater]

Wow I thought y’all will be super helpful to a rookie b

Wow

[zinc knot]

It is if you’re brave enough

An iphone will only cost 60$ if you purchase a ski mask and a gun

[turbid crater]

Bro I really need something, put oil bro on

[zinc knot]

None we are alr slaves

[turbid crater]

Everything has a price

Idc about zon 🤓

[turbid crater]

I hooked up with a FAANG once best experience ever

[quartz ridge]

[turbid crater]

I thought wagmi 😔

[quartz ridge]

Once I slept with a Faang engineering manager (Amazon Alexa) and she gave me gon. Kind of makes sense since she’s at zon

[turbid crater]

Tbh I’d rather get that than no response

At least I can try probing

[ocean pewter]

well to be very honest, she was very direct! I liked her candid response. Also, im glad she replied back to my email. most of them don't xD

hi

[tender coral]

Really!?!?

[proud canopy]

I have applied to 20 positions in the past 2 months and I have 6 coops as a waterloo grad (2 from FAANG) and I have only heard back from 1 company

am i cooked

[quartz ridge]

hi

anyone ehtere

20 positions

pump those rookien numbers up

xD

hiihhihihi

[proud canopy]

thats because you're not a waterloo grad like me

with 6 coops (2 from FAANG)

I should't need to apply to so many jobs

i should have multiple offers

im cooked

[stable ravine]

\

[magic cave]

I agree

Recruiters should be prostrating to me with my exp

But I still have to spam apply if I want to move up

[tender coral]

Damn is there a reason they banned it on the tsx? Is the trading volume not enough?

[quartz ridge]

😂

You word smith like comorbid hunchback in Bayesian vertical scaling

[lost lark]

Only 20?

[proud canopy]

youre probably not a waterloo grad youll never understand

[pseudo wedge]

average elitist waterloo student

[humble aurora]

i dont understand how non faang experience ppl get interviews and faang ppl don't for the same position

Geniunely don't understand how that is possible

[magic cave]

It's luck

[mystic junco]

I will carry you in my prayers 🙏

[turbid crater]

Ive heard it’s mostly hard for some people. Idk what qualifies as good

Guys does anyone know how to make a rag that uses pdfs ? And I can make flow diagrams with ?

[quartz ridge]

Is the quake it if education good or just good coop

[turbid crater]

I’ll assume education is good too or else companies wouldn’t be calling them back

[quartz ridge]

I thought the coop program was just elite

Do you think ubc and u of t compare to walterloo

[slender swan]

Engineering wise Waterloo is definitely better imo

Feel like they have a much more practical mindset compared to UofT's more academic one

[velvet gate]

A receuiter called me bc i didn’t book my interview yet

And i told her to tell me more about the interview

She told me that they’re going to ask me a bunch of behavioral questions, and technical questions as well

They might ask me to share my screen to share my thought process

But it’s not going to be like a leetcode question

Srsly

[broken whale]

Shut up bro

[plucky ridge]

i too wish to know what happened

[broken whale]

Check dm

[quartz ridge]

Probably around 60k

[ocean pewter]

anyone else still waiting to her back after the amazon loop? been exactly 1 week 😦

[quartz ridge]

😂 🤣

Stripe cohere Instacart Okta wish etc 😂

[vapid latch]

id say 75k+

60 is a bit low

[quartz ridge]

60 is prob average no?

[vapid latch]

no

also the question was whats a good tc

top notch pay

60k is not top notch

[magic cave]

60k is like average any job out of graduation

My lowest internship was like 75k

I think 80k is acceptable for SWE in Canada

And 120+ is good

[quartz ridge]

Why you lying outta ur ass

Still a lot more than Google Canada

[quartz ridge]

This guys whole shtick is sabotaging other students 😭

Much more

[vapid latch]

it doesnt sound unreasonable

75k internship

[quartz ridge]

About 230k

Source: Waterloo friend

There can’t be a 100k diff

His offer was 140/70/20

Is ur friend trolling

Toronto right?

What’s his tc breakdown?

That guy def capping 😭

Also check Levels for Canada 0-1 yoe. It’s all 200k+

Mostly in 230-250 range

This guy is trolling ur ass

No they’re recent

Submissions

Like August 2024

[rare carbon]

stripe 200k is mostly paper money

google doesnt match with paper money

[quartz ridge]

That’s 1 case. Also it’s def a false submission. Round numbers with 0 bonus lol

[magic cave]

75 a year is 30 an hour. .

[plucky ridge]

where you grad from again lmao

[rare carbon]

I am curious for 190k google offer, what competing offer they showed to google? there is no 190k TC for new grad in canada

[magic cave]

Close enough

[rare carbon]

I am in the loop and nowadays there is no offer more than 165k google standard package

I am at team match now and pretty late stage

[quartz ridge]

Yep

[magic cave]

Statscan says average income in Canada is 40k

I think it's over

[azure junco]

Hey guys

[quartz ridge]

Google TC in Canada is 160k for first two years

[azure junco]

My tc is now 71k

[quartz ridge]

There is honestly dogshit refreshers at Google before L5

[azure junco]

65k in stocks, 6k salary

[quartz ridge]

So you’re getting peanut stock refreshers at Google

But you do get 160k TC assuming you get the 15% bonus

[azure junco]

While you guys are making peanuts, I'm making billions in equity

[quartz ridge]

Which most people get

[quartz ridge]

It’s 160k TC standard package first two years

[rare carbon]

but there is no competing offer literally, i have one startup offer have 165k base but google doesnt care about paper money

[quartz ridge]

Drops to 145k 4th year because of front loaded vesting

[rare carbon]

wait, correct me if I am wrong, doesnt it refresh?

[quartz ridge]

Very little refreshes for L3 and L4

Once you hit L5 you get a big jump in stock refreshers

But also one thing to note most people get promoted to L4 within 2 years

So you’ll get more stock and a small bump in base then

And you’ll have overlapping vesting so your comp will be really high post promo for like 2 years

But yeah I will say don’t expect more than 115 base for NG unless you have a competing big tech offer

Meta is best

Netflix even better

But yeah I know someone has negotiated Google Canada to 195 TC with Meta competing

0 YOE

[rare carbon]

i have a startup with 165k base, idk will google match more with my base?

[quartz ridge]

Definitely worth a try

[rare carbon]

cool

[quartz ridge]

Can I ask what startup?

[rare carbon]

i will dm you

[magic cave]

Anyways looks like I'm wrong about the average salary, but this data is based on all Canadians, not just college graduates

[echo latch]

this is reasonably accurate for current google ng l3 offers in canada

and they do nego up to about ~190k if you have higher offers

[quartz ridge]

Sure

[quartz ridge]

190 for 4 years or first 2

It’s very easy to get 190 for Y1 if you include sign on etc

[rare carbon]

ye I have been on the market for few months. there are no canadian company pays more than 165k, not with paper money

[echo latch]

i mean most people would still pick google over amazon at these salary amounts so they dont feel the need to bump up the pay

[echo latch]

regular ng offer for google canada does not have sign on

google only has sign on for hcol and vhcol or if you negotiate

yes

they'll bump up if they think the other company's a competitior

[plucky ridge]

they both rescind offer lmao

[echo latch]

so if it's meta they'll bump

[quartz ridge]

That’s correct. But I’m wondering when you say 190 TC do you mean Y1 TC

[echo latch]

if it's some rando startup they wont do anything

well nego can be either sign on or stock increase or both so it depends

[quartz ridge]

Because Y1 TC doesn’t mean much. I’d say Y1 and Y2 are most important

4 year TC is always bad at Google since they front load

[echo latch]

well the idea is you get refreshers so it balances out

id rather it be front loaded in this economy than back loaded tbh

ehh prolly tbh

[quartz ridge]

OFC yeah

[echo latch]

if it's strictly higher than google

[quartz ridge]

But refreshers are peanuts before L5 😭

Really does not even out

[echo latch]

ive never heard of this happening and ive sent them an offer that's basically almost 3x the year 1 tc

but if you're the first person to have an offer rescinded that's an achievement too

you can make a reddit post and maybe get some gold there

[quartz ridge]

Unlikely prob just won’t move lol

Like they’ll just say nah here’s original

[echo latch]

you got external new grad interview?

[rare carbon]

ok whatever, 165k is good for me I think

[quartz ridge]

O k

[magic cave]

Wait

What if they give you

201

🤯

[normal parcel]

what about 202

[frozen brook]

Oof :( guess im no one lol

[quartz ridge]

Life is meaningless without a TC of at least 70@

70k imo

[river plinth]

at this point take 70k, better than nothing

better than unemployment

[grizzled crystal]

Is it difficult to get a job in Canada without a degree?

[grizzled crystal]

For what kind of jobs?

[lean prawn]

uber

eats

[weak gazelle]

Uber driver
Uber eats delivery driver
Basement sharer
Etc
