[untold scroll]

heard amzn just sent out their first batch of ng OA

anyone get it?

[plucky ridge]

rise and grind!!!!

[dreamy patio]

what do they ask in their OA?

Amazon OA is just coding like Code signal or something else?

[brazen marlin]

Hackerrank

[dreamy patio]

ohh

what is amazon NG process

[brazen marlin]

oa -> final -> offer

[brazen marlin]

You can find the oa questions online, i saw a post on r/leetcode with literally the same question that I had in my oa

[dreamy patio]

is OA proctored? and in final do they ask SD also or jsut coding?

[dreamy patio]

ohhh

[brazen marlin]

You take a picture at the start with ur id but the camera is off after that

[dreamy patio]

some say OA is 3 hour long, they ask that many questions of coding?

[dreamy patio]

ok

[brazen marlin]

90 min coding, rest is behavioural

[dreamy patio]

ok thnks

cant you email them and ask maybe?

[terse burrow]

My moral king

[azure junco]

@arctic token

[azure junco]

Depends on the company, it's on the lower end for Canada but most places give between $20-$28 anyway

[urban obsidian]

i guess yeah its just so much lower than my previous intern position that i was not expecting it

[terse burrow]

Agree

[alpine wadi]

People already got ng offers twin😭

[dreamy patio]

from where can i find the amazon NG process and what type of questions are asked? and what is LP related to amazon?

[dreamy patio]

[vivid fiber]

[untold scroll]

I thought those are 24? really someone 25 already got the offer?

[dreamy patio]

Amazon OA mail didn’t mention the role as NG

In subject its written as SDE1

So it is for ng right??

[solar olive]

mine was fungible and that's general role for NG

[dreamy patio]

Yeahh ok.. same fungible sde1….

[dreamy patio]

Do they ask SD related questions in OA??

Is it just me or coding + LP?

[solar olive]

just 2 LC q and work simulation related to LP

[tender coral]

@vivid fiber scammer

[teal remnant]

Bro I never got zon oa 💀

[vernal sigil]

Dm @mystic gull he got me the oa

[teal remnant]

Bro I ain’t getting it regardless

I have skill issue unfortunately

[azure junco]

I've heard that @mystic gull can help with that

[vivid fiber]

Ty

[trim nexus]

guys deadass how to get zon oa for intern 💀

i applied w a referral + have big tech on the resume like what more do they need

[viscid escarp]

How late did u apply

[trim nexus]

like 2 days after the apps opened

[vivid fiber]

Its rng

[naive shell]

I dm'd him and he started flirting with me. Is it normal?

[zenith star]

The worse your resume looks the higher chance

[vernal sigil]

Gotta do what u gotta do for the oa

[marsh thorn]

which one?

I know it's crazy

but I don't think they're necessarily looking for who worked in the most prestigious company on their resume

but whose resume shows the most leadership, initiative, and passion

[trim nexus]

it's over for me

[minor spruce]

This is so true, i think zon does that on purpose

[marsh thorn]

I think you're right lol

[high tapir]

Atleast ur not black listed like me

throw in an aws project on the resume maybe, I had that when they reached out

[untold scroll]

had azure project on my resume 💀

[hardy island]

[west coyote]

[broken whale]

karachi lite?

[real island]

No tax time to save $1 🙏

[dreamy patio]

i did and status also changed to No longer considered after i guess 8 hours

wtf is wrong with Amazon

[real island]

That happens when you get the OA

[azure junco]

Mine too lol

[dreamy patio]

what? when you get OA you get "No longer considered" status? and if you rejected wht status you get?

and how many days it take to get result of OA?

[tall fern]

Nah it updates later

[real island]

Nope

At least for me that happened

🤷‍♂️

[real island]

For intern yes that happened to me and if reject not sure but I’d assume you get an email

[real island]

Depends but I heard back in 2 weeks ish

[honest wren]

man is delaying the OA that bad 😭 why did they have to make them due during finals week

such unfortunate timing

this is part of their LPs

💔

[real island]

Ok lol

Then don’t work at Amazon lol

No one is forcing you buddy

[dreamy patio]

would the process would be that diff for both? like you change status for one and not for other?

[novel dome]

[strange trail]

Is there a good way to find companies that do off season internships like fall/winter in canada or US?

[analog current]

Hey guys, around when does 2025 SWE new grad roles open up?

And best way to have a list of them...I already use Simplify GitHub

[alpine wadi]

the faang ones came out september ish, rest of companies will generally come out during January

[azure junco]

Many are already out and actively interviewing/giving offers

[analog current]

What's the best way to find them?

[azure junco]

GitHub + LinkedIn + google in my experience

[heady ravine]

for all the people who have received Amazon ng offers, did y'all apply for the posting that opened in November?

[fierce lotus]

whats there in the criteria corp thingy for shopify?

[azure junco]

Yes they sent final round interviews recently for a batch of November applicants

[fierce lotus]

also how hard was the coderpad for shopify?

[ivory pond]

I haven’t gotten the OA

Is it over

[plain mortar]

Less over than failing it 😭

[magic bane]

how long do u have to complete the coderpad?

[fierce lotus]

4 days

[magic bane]

like how many days

bruh

[fierce lotus]

ill do it tomorrow tho i think

[plain mortar]

Mine was 1 question…. Kinda sucked

[fierce lotus]

Oh

lc hard?

[plain mortar]

No I don’t think it was hard. I wouldn’t really classify it as leetcode, kinda cringe question

[fierce lotus]

Ah ok

[outer mango]

Shopify oa is auto?

[toxic light]

I dont think so

[odd saddle]

Did you do the criteria corp?

[rain mantle]

S25

[ivory pond]

Yes

[misty cloak]

Anyone done eBay interview before

[novel dome]

What was ur OA score btw

[misty cloak]

Think like a 530 but was proctored

[novel dome]

When did you do the OA?

[misty cloak]

Mid nov I think

[novel dome]

Ah I see

I did it early nov and got no response

[misty cloak]

I heard back like 30 mins ago so maybe it’s on the way

[novel dome]

Hopefully

And gl on ur interview

[keen imp]

Hi guys, has anyone here interviewed for google, for a software developer position

[pearl trout]

[dreamy patio]

[pearl trout]

Early Dec and this wk

[dreamy patio]

okk and did you status change after OA on portal?

[pearl trout]

Ye it’s gonna be no longer considered

Changed to no longer considered when they decided to give u OA ..

[sonic basalt]

yee just got reached out for interview

[dreamy patio]

And do they give you choice to puck the interview date??

Interview alot

[pastel needle]

[ivory pond]

😭

They made it way harder this cycle

[rain mantle]

i have not done it yet what we saying

lc hards?

[rain mantle]

fucked

[tough knot]

check dm

[plain mortar]

I spent 5 minutes tryna figure out the question and then got stuck cause I misread a letter as lowercase vs uppercase and spent like more time tryna debug

Doomed

[alpine wadi]

Did you guys put "I want to work remotely for my daily work" before applying to shopify

[toxic light]

Yeah

[silk torrent]

No GitHub coding project this season?

[turbid island]

ctf?

[surreal owl]

why

[quartz ridge]

What better. Shopify or Apple?

[broken whale]

Wtf was that

My eyes are cursed now

[lunar sandal]

holy shit this means i didnt get the job

rip

[broken whale]

They have more than 1 hc lil bro chyll

[real island]

He didn’t do the interview yet

[lunar sandal]

ya but he got int meaning they sending that shi out

[azure junco]

Shopify is the best company in sfaang

[pastel needle]

i thought toronto took interns before lol

[regal lotus]

shopify

[pastel needle]

ah icic, ig its based on wherever the team is

[silk torrent]

there is a reason why shopify is called Google of the North

[fickle juniper]

Actually Google is Shopify of the south

[vernal sigil]

They still give u housing stipend if u live and work in toronto

[zenith star]

Why would anyone rather Toronto over Vancouver

[quartz ridge]

U work at an Amazon?

Or where r u heading?

Can u tell me surely

[vernal sigil]

im homeless

[real island]

True, I think it’s cuz Toronto is 4 or 8 months

So it costs them more

[vernal sigil]

U can get 4 and 8 months in vancouver too

They just put u where its more convenient for them

[real island]

By default it’s 12 weeks tho no?cuz my friend who got Toronto got offered 4 or 8 months

[vernal sigil]

When u get the offer you get a survey where you can request more weeks

[zenith star]

I’m closer to Toronto but I got Vancouver

[real island]

Oh nice

[real island]

Yeah it’s rng unfortunately

[tall fern]

No ways this is actually possible 💀

[quartz ridge]

Do not spread lie. Where r u headed now?

[devout nacelle]

yo do yall know how accurate the score back from coderpad is?

for shopify*

like do they have hidden test cases?

I got 300/300 but I literally submitted last minute

[devout nacelle]

Apple lol

everyone else is just trolling lol

[vernal sigil]

Home

[quartz ridge]

Seem like most people say Shopify is Google of north. Sounds like troll can u confirm this one

[quartz ridge]

No I ask ur next internship positional.

[devout nacelle]

it is a troll

Apple is literally faang ☠️

that’s probably why they’re trolling lmao

[quartz ridge]

Alright thanks for clarification.

[odd saddle]

is that u in ur dp

[quartz ridge]

It’s my back yes

[odd saddle]

why do u look like a girl

[quartz ridge]

Excuse you

[odd saddle]

o ok mb

[quartz ridge]

Sturdy with your sword…

[odd saddle]

🥺

[odd saddle]

idk the question was pretty straight forward for me

dt you'd have edge cases with those

[devout nacelle]

what was the overall score when you got the outlook email?

[devout nacelle]

yea i dont think so

[vernal sigil]

i got an offer from a McFAANG company

[odd saddle]

300/300

[devout nacelle]

oh ok bet i had the same then

i was wondering lol

cause my friend who got shopify for winter had a different OA ig

theirs was outta like 500

[vernal sigil]

340 E Hastings St

[odd saddle]

i dont think it was teh same questioon for everyone tho

[vernal sigil]

Thats my neighbor

Im 340

[devout nacelle]

i’m pre sure it is

at least for like the same application term

like all my friends who did winter 2025 had the same OAs

it was similar to this one too

shopify is hiring 1000 interns though so it’s pretty easy for the final technical too

like literally easier than a LC easy

[quartz ridge]

So McDonald.?

[quartz ridge]

Shopify mass hire this season?

How many HC do they have for us and what is the salary are u familiar?

[devout nacelle]

yeah salary is $35/hr + $1400/month housing stipend (flat payment)

[devout nacelle]

yep

around 300 for winter, 400 for summer, 300 for fall

something like that

Meta and Amazon also got high HC too

[odd saddle]

what's the process anyway

[quartz ridge]

Is this after tax stipend

[odd saddle]

seems different from their site

[quartz ridge]

Did they lower the salary

[devout nacelle]

idk

[quartz ridge]

From previous year

[devout nacelle]

yeah

[odd saddle]

yea i thought salary was higher

[quartz ridge]

Do u know if this is for all of Canada or for US too

[devout nacelle]

Nope, this is based on Waterloo Software Engineering students who got internships there for winter 2025

[devout nacelle]

just in general

canada priority probably

and specifically UWaterloo

[quartz ridge]

I think they have lower salary

[devout nacelle]

and UofT

[quartz ridge]

I heard people get 40 or 45

In earlier year.

[devout nacelle]

they’re including the stipend

and it also varies by year

[quartz ridge]

It was ezclude stopped

Stipend

[devout nacelle]

like if ur in ur last year it’ll be higher

[quartz ridge]

Salary itself was 40/45

[devout nacelle]

45 could be for ur last year of uni

they base it also off of ur grad date

most of my friends are class of 2027 or 2028

[quartz ridge]

Oh ok thank u

[devout nacelle]

yeah

np

[quartz ridge]

So u r 20?

Or 21

[devout nacelle]

ik someone graduating 2025 and has 40 + stipend

uhhh why u asking lmao

[quartz ridge]

Ok I see

I’m curious

[vernal sigil]

im chilling with the 2024 cs grads

[devout nacelle]

OA, my friend only had 74% on it, pass it, then u also have to pass the workplace OA which matters a lot, and then u do the behavioural interview and then technical which is a LC easy easy

idk shopify should be easy to get i think

if u pass the OA ur guaranteed an interview

[quartz ridge]

Do not send slum photos……

Will cause troubles

[odd saddle]

workplace oa?

[quartz ridge]

Has anyone gotten openai

Screen?

[devout nacelle]

ik a friend got an offer there

[proven tapir]

Hi guys, new to this group. Actively seeking projects and job opportunities in field of AI. Feel free to connect.

[ivory pond]

Not so sure abt that ngl

Ig they skipped me

[quartz ridge]

Are I able to show me a resume from him?

[devout nacelle]

u didn’t pass the behavioural then

u actually have to pass it cuz it’s not just like random

like the workplace assessment one

your answers actually matter

there’s a proper way of doing it

plus isn’t it an IQ test

for part of it

[ivory pond]

It’s an iq test + behavioural thing

[devout nacelle]

sorry i can’t

[ivory pond]

but what do they want for behavioural

[devout nacelle]

idk

like just be honest in ur answers

[quartz ridge]

Maybe u could say his school or org experienced

Previous experiences?

[devout nacelle]

same as mine

university of waterloo

software engineering, computer sci, computer engineering

prev experience we all have like 3+ co ops

some big tech

[fickle juniper]

Why would we troll

Discord is the most serious platform on the internet ime

[mint gorge]

It's FAANGS with Shopify now, keep up

[quartz ridge]

This is for a new graduate or for an interner

[quartz ridge]

I don’t appreciate the lie when I need to select my future company. Rethink your words

Speak with integrity or people will not enjoy your company hubspottee

[fickle juniper]

Lol bruh

Do u think I own HubSpot?

Why would I/anybody else care

[quartz ridge]

Do not endorse false information in public forums without any base…

The question here is real one of Shopify vs Applez look for actual input here.

[fickle juniper]

Alright boss thanks for the advice I’ll be 100% truthful from now on

[lunar sandal]

who got ebay offer and how long after interview? also ebay vs shop as backup? thoughts on prestigerank?

[fickle juniper]

The answer here is u should reject both offers, drop out of CS, start a web3/ai company and buy both Shopify and Apple. Then u don’t have to choose

[distant hazel]

u didnt get oa?

[ivory pond]

I did

[distant hazel]

and didnt get score yet right

[lunar sandal]

🙂 👍 ty! gl further

[ivory pond]

For last cycle I did

[distant hazel]

same. didnt see my score yet this round

[ivory pond]

No I got my score for this one too

[distant hazel]

oh

[ivory pond]

Takes like 20 minutes to get it

[distant hazel]

what the

when did u submit

[ivory pond]

Yesterday

[quartz ridge]

Serious? You take my question as pure joke.

In this market you must be prudent with each cs decision

[fickle juniper]

?

Genuine advice

[devout nacelle]

interner

[devout nacelle]

i got it immediately

out of 300 right?

[distant hazel]

i didnt get mine yet

[devout nacelle]

like u finished the OA?

[distant hazel]

yea

[devout nacelle]

wait for shopify?

[distant hazel]

yes

[devout nacelle]

u didn’t get it back?

o

that’s weird lol

did you check your email?

[devout nacelle]

☠️

[alpine wadi]

where'd you get these numbers?!

[fringe hawk]

this is troll right 💀

[brazen marlin]

why would it be troll

[quartz ridge]

Why troll?

Scotiabank velocity is better than RBC amplify

Actually know someone who took velocity over AutoDesk because it’s a prestigious route…

[fringe hawk]

is ebay not bigger name + harder to get?

probably better pay too

[brazen marlin]

nah bro big 5 -> faang+ pipeline is real

my google interviewer was very impressed with my RBC internship

[zenith star]

This chat gives me aids every day

[quartz ridge]

Seen lot of big 5 to FAANG

Like RBC Amplify

Or Borealis AI

Or Scotia Velocity

Really good step stone for faangers

[quartz ridge]

Agree.

[quartz ridge]

I would choose AutoDesk.

You have both offers

?

[quartz ridge]

AutoDesk

So u don’t have shop yet

[alpine wadi]

What makes you say that

[quartz ridge]

Shopify is just Ruby. Much less learning and applicable.

Broaden the scope and sharpen the sword.

[alpine wadi]

But Shopify resume value could make it worth

[quartz ridge]

It’s like doing Fortran in an internship. Or even COBOL. Has very small application outside of the internship so low values. Me personally I would take AutoDesk any day of the week that end with Y.

[devout nacelle]

istg this whole chat is trolling 💀 goofy ahh chat

[quartz ridge]

Like who?

For me standpoint. You should not spend an internship learn legacy tech like Ruby on Rails, Fortran, cobol, pascal etc. better to learn React, Kuberneetes or AWS

It’s about a long term learning journey not short term money gains…

Someone follow the logic

[lunar sandal]

shopify OA asking out of this world optimizations

[azure junco]

Shopify gaps apple for job insecurity

[ivory pond]

Shop

[vernal sigil]

Fr i took velocity over openai for the prestige

[quartz ridge]

Nah openAI is better than velocity don’t know what you are saying….

That one not close

But Scotia velocity is better than Kinaxis and Shopify.

Comparable to AutoDesk prestige

[devout nacelle]

someone literally said to take shopify over apple 😭

like this chat is just trolling

[devout nacelle]

i agree with that

[devout nacelle]

idk about this

shopify and autodesk are way better than scotia and kinaxis

[quartz ridge]

Ok but the guy saying openai worse than scotia is complete troll

He is complete trolling.

[devout nacelle]

💀

[quartz ridge]

OpenAI one of the best startups

[devout nacelle]

yeah idk this chat is just trolling

[quartz ridge]

OpenAI maybe similar to Jane street

[devout nacelle]

openai is literally the highest paying tech company

[quartz ridge]

Or even better possible

[devout nacelle]

atm

don’t they make millions

as staff engineers

[quartz ridge]

I think they pay new grad 250

[devout nacelle]

and plus everyone knows openai lol

yeah lol

[vernal sigil]

Scotiabank’s tech is ass

Their services are down more than they’re up

Also americans know Autodesk, eBay, and Shopify. not scotia

[quartz ridge]

Ok but Kinaxis is really bad…

[quartz ridge]

Ok maybe velocity is similar to Shopify then? Cuz both use not good tech (like legacy and ruby on rail)

AutoDesk seems better with using C++ for the AutoCAD and fusion

[devout nacelle]

yeah kinaxis is ass

i thought i said that

[quartz ridge]

It’s like Geotab

Or Nokia

[devout nacelle]

yeah

pretty much

[quartz ridge]

It’s like a first internship kind of things imo

[devout nacelle]

yeah

for sure

are you new grad?

[devout nacelle]

eh scotia velocity also seems kinda mid

[devout nacelle]

that’s true

[quartz ridge]

I’m at Apple

Yeah new grad

[devout nacelle]

ah nice nice

[trim nexus]

thanks guys

[quartz ridge]

I guess velocity isn’t that good

[devout nacelle]

did u go to UW?

[quartz ridge]

No I. Went to a rly bottom tier school

[devout nacelle]

yea idk velocity isn’t too good imo

oh damn

[quartz ridge]

I got pretty lucky

[trim nexus]

i think from my exp, having a good tech stack would benefit me more than company name

i alr have big tech name on resume

but tech isnt that good

so i passed processes

but manager rounds were always a pain

[quartz ridge]

One of York, Ryerson, Conestoga, Seneca. Don’t want to dox too much

[devout nacelle]

i see i see

[quartz ridge]

Yeah once u have a decent name

U shouldn’t worry as much

Imo

[devout nacelle]

makes sense

because of high hiring?

[trim nexus]

like my uni not even that good but why does it have a surprising number of shopfiy swe interns

yeah

[devout nacelle]

yep

same

they hired like an insane amount of waterloo students

[trim nexus]

like everyone any their mom gonna have it on their resume

[devout nacelle]

yeah lmfaooo

[trim nexus]

yeah it doesnt seem "selective" anymore

[devout nacelle]

like everyone i know that just applied

just got an offer

easy ass technical interview

kinda wild

[trim nexus]

so it might seem prestigious now but next cycle i feel like its not gonna be the same

Yeah exactly 💀

[devout nacelle]

perhaps, but also meta and amazon are also not that selective either

but then again like varies for meta and amazon

shopify is like yeah everyone and theirs grandma getting it

[trim nexus]

meta and amazon interviews r so hard tho 😭 😭 😭

[devout nacelle]

it depends on your luck

[trim nexus]

or *can be so hard

yeah

[devout nacelle]

i seen some people get leetcode mediums and even a leetcode easy

[vernal sigil]

Meta asks tagged and amazon asks two sum

[devout nacelle]

tbh as long as you just do the lc tagged ur usually fine

[trim nexus]

yeah true

[devout nacelle]

yeo are u UW @trim nexus

[trim nexus]

nnah im from a mid uni too 💀

[quartz ridge]

Wait what did they have in the technical

[devout nacelle]

💀 damn

[quartz ridge]

So it’s gonna be like Zon 😭

[devout nacelle]

i feel like it don’t even matter goin to UW anymore

our co op is so ass now

[trim nexus]

my UW friends complaining a lot lol

[devout nacelle]

literally like make some simple python functions that move a robot

[devout nacelle]

yeah the co op is ass here

[trim nexus]

but i think yall still a leg ahead of us

[devout nacelle]

ig

but i feel like it’s not the uni

it’s just the students are cracked

[quartz ridge]

Zon rng u can get two sum with an Italian pubsub interviewer or get trapping rain water XIV if u have a fob international ex-K-pop trainee

[devout nacelle]

like they would’ve done just as well at UofT CS

[trim nexus]

true

my last co-op

i was like one of the only non UW students there

[devout nacelle]

💀 this is accurate af

[devout nacelle]

o wtf

[trim nexus]

LMAOOO

[devout nacelle]

[trim nexus]

[devout nacelle]

[trim nexus]

[quartz ridge]

[quartz ridge]

💀 😂 mars rover?

[trim nexus]

[quartz ridge]

😂 😂

[trim nexus]

LMAO right

[quartz ridge]

[quartz ridge]

Would u take ur 95k prorated company or Shopify vs Wealthsimle vs Wish?

Like how would u rank those ones

[devout nacelle]

no way

wealthsimple is also 95k prorated right?

WS is pretty good

probably around the same

true

🤷‍♂️

wait is 95k prorated like 50/hr

[quartz ridge]

Think it’s 90k

[devout nacelle]

ah i see

[quartz ridge]

It’s like 46

[devout nacelle]

wait 95k is 46???

[trim nexus]

WS is like 50

[devout nacelle]

damn

[trim nexus]

Highest i’ve heard atp

[quartz ridge]

Thought ws was less than the other one

[trim nexus]

non zon

[quartz ridge]

U mean in Canada

[trim nexus]

Nah nah ws pays more

[devout nacelle]

damn someone ik said they got like 65

[trim nexus]

[quartz ridge]

[devout nacelle]

oh fr

[devout nacelle]

yeah idk

[devout nacelle]

did you use it for studying dsa?

Like chegg 😂

Chegg stock is troll

[quartz ridge]

The money goes hard tho

[fringe hawk]

[devout nacelle]

💀

light

[quartz ridge]

I’m not Seneca colleges

[quartz ridge]

Not probably.

If you can code two sum you will minimum get around 100

[quaint dawn]

ay thats what I got 😎

time limit was a little criminal

[quartz ridge]

I got a 250

Then I realize I was offset by 10 and I actually got Bradley martyn

Got 260 and praying my TC is even half of that when Shopify inevitably rescinds me and cuts my tc to the level of a Geotab intern

[eager raven]

Wait so Amazon Vancouver internship is 12 weeks?

[quartz ridge]

8 week

Maybe 10

25

An hour

He’s at Bloomberg now

So I can’t even hate much atp

[silk torrent]

what is the threshold for "making it"

sfaang

[rare quail]

Hey, is anyone familiar with Amazon's intern hiring standards?

I've got two co-op experiences (both dev roles): one with the government and one with SAP. I've also taken some CS courses at a local college and is pursuing a master's degree in CS from a non-Canadian university.

I've applied for the Amazon SWE Intern position 3 times now, but each time my application gets rejected (status changes to 'No longer under consideration' within 3-7 days).

Anyone know what might be going wrong or have tips for improving my chances?

[devout nacelle]

a lot of the times it is dependent on being in a good uni

they give interviews in waves based on ur school

[orchid crag]

💀

[quartz ridge]

💀

[lofty sapphire]

it’s having a good resume and luck (+ referrals), almost every time I applied through referrals for faang I received an OA, whenever I apply for the same role with the same resume without referrals it’s 50/50

[rare quail]

thanks eyad. Good point about getting a referall. Time to dust off my linkedin I guess

[lofty sapphire]

good luck

note that the market is also fucked up, because usually Amazon is not that strict to get OAs specially for internships, I know people with 3 pages resumes that used to get OAs for internships without referrals last year

[wooden lichen]

yeah zon referral didnt work for me and other people ive seen

[quartz ridge]

Market is actually prrettty good

If you know where to look

And have a decent resume

It’s only bad if you are a bad developer. That’s generally how it works

[wooden lichen]

4/10 ragebait

[quartz ridge]

U have Google…

[wooden lichen]

who tf said i have google

#2025_summer_intern_process message

markets good enough to get me rejected from general quality logistics

[lofty sapphire]

[rustic spire]

guys are there new grad jobs in canada or am i blind

i swear i only saw like 10-20 new grad jobs in canada

i mainly apply on linkedin, you guys use any other websites?

[ruby ridge]

What about raves? Thoughts @quartz ridge

[trim nexus]

my friend was selling rave tickets on reddit and she ended up selling to an eng manager at linked in

[devout nacelle]

yo do yall think it’s worth taking a gap year and just do like 2-3 internships during then

i’m already in UW so it’s a 5 year program and we do six 4 month co ops

but my co ops have been ass

[devout nacelle]

it seems pretty good rn ngl

so many big tech companies are off hiring freeze

[ivory pond]

How many u got left

[devout nacelle]

2

already used up 4

so idk

[ivory pond]

cracked

[devout nacelle]

i think i’m just gonna do a gap year

it’s sucks cause so many companies are givin out co ops this year compared to last year

at least for like upper year jobs

[trim nexus]

2 ppl ik landed cracked co-ops on their gap year, so i would totally recommend it

[devout nacelle]

yeah

[trim nexus]

(they delayed grad for it)

[devout nacelle]

ik a guy he did asana + shopify + amazon

[trim nexus]

yupp

[devout nacelle]

and i think that’s very doable

[trim nexus]

im lowkey considering doing one

[devout nacelle]

same

[trim nexus]

like internship in my last year summer

[devout nacelle]

cuz he ended up working at amazon

[trim nexus]

yup yup

[devout nacelle]

like which year?

[trim nexus]

5th year summer

[devout nacelle]

i’m class of 2027 btw so idk if it’s worth

but probably

[trim nexus]

oh same

[devout nacelle]

oh nice

[trim nexus]

its a long time away

[devout nacelle]

yeah

[trim nexus]

so we'll see

[devout nacelle]

true

welll

next year 2025

and then like

hmm

yeah i dunno

maybe i’ll do it after third year is finished

or like right before my first term of 4th year

[ivory pond]

What is “ass”

[devout nacelle]

like not even big tech

[hallow apex]

yall remember AndreML?

what happened to the guy/whered he go?

[quartz ridge]

By. Ass what kinda companies are we talking about?

[mystic horizon]

Guys this is really random but I need some extra opinions on this, do you guys think there's a noticeable difference between McGill and something like Concordia in the eyes of an employer (FAANG, etc) ? Kinda conflicted right now

[quartz ridge]

Would u guys

Prefer

Somewhere like snowflake or DataBricks or Google or data dog?

Curious how

These things rank up?

[devout nacelle]

i would go Google > Snowflake == databricks > datadog

[quartz ridge]

Interesting

Thought they were all similar tier

But I can see why datadog is last

[quartz ridge]

You serious

How u even keep tabs on such a fleeting wizar

Wizard

Apparently he’s making 110 tc now

What an absolute goat

[mystic horizon]

Thank you boss 🫡 I have the choice between both, but Concordia gives me 15000 free money and a semester less of credits which sounds really appealing to me

[quartz ridge]

McGill way better

Don’t listen

Conestoga is like Seneca

lol

Ur getting no value there

[hallow apex]

concordia not conestoga

[mystic horizon]

What's Conestoga 😭 I thought you guys were making fun of concordia w that name

[quartz ridge]

Oh Concordia

That’s less of a difference but still pretty big gap

McGill is the best uni in Montreal

And probably top 3 in all of canada

Concordia is like maybe top 50?

[mystic horizon]

Yeah I think so

[quartz ridge]

I’d take McGill in this market

[mystic horizon]

But the thing is

McGill has no COOP

[quartz ridge]

In the long run the value of having a top 3 uni on ur resume is massive

[mystic horizon]

And I get 15k less

And I do ~1 sem more

[quartz ridge]

Coop boards aren’t that useful in this market

[mystic horizon]

Oooh really

[quartz ridge]

U can still do coop without going to coop uni

[mystic horizon]

Whaa actually?

[quartz ridge]

That’s just what I would choose mate

[mystic horizon]

I thought they got stipends or something to hire "coop" students

[quartz ridge]

You are the final maker shaker

[mystic horizon]

But idk how it all works

[quartz ridge]

Yeah they do

[mystic horizon]

Yeah ofc I appreciate the help

[quartz ridge]

Get government subsidization

[mystic horizon]

Right

[quartz ridge]

But I would take McGill

If I were in ur shoes

[mystic horizon]

Yeah I'm leaning towards it but the money is really nice I can't lie, and I wanted to grad asap but yeah we'll see

[quartz ridge]

It’s like the difference between Harvard University and University of Windsor with a 10k scholarship for being an ethnic minority and a coop board that has Geotab and Nokia on it

[mystic horizon]

LMFAO

Wait so just to be clear

I can still apply to coop shit without being a coop student..?

[quartz ridge]

100%

I wasn’t in coop

[mystic horizon]

Cus if that's the case it's legit a no brainer for me I think

[quartz ridge]

Got. A bunch of offers

[mystic horizon]

Ooh damn

[quartz ridge]

It’s more like intern

[mystic horizon]

Did you take a sem off or

How did that work?

[quartz ridge]

Just do it during summer

[mystic horizon]

Hm yeah

[quartz ridge]

No semesters off

[mystic horizon]

More competitive tho right

[quartz ridge]

I guess but also more openings

Like think about like this

U take university of bullocks u get a short term “sign on” bonus- a little pocket change that feels nice. And u get access to a coop board where the best tier company is Kinaxis which doesn’t even give you free tea during lunch. Or you get a prestigious uni on your resume that brings you long term prospects that will outearn your sign on in first year of full time experience or even your first coop

[mystic horizon]

Okay you're convincing me LOL

[quartz ridge]

Nah this advice real

[mystic horizon]

I'll ask a few profs about it

[quartz ridge]

Read it

The only troll that was in this chat was Andre Machine Learner

He has since departed due to a violation of constitutional .

[mystic horizon]

💔

[quartz ridge]

Ask around gather some intel from your comrade and come back with science backed decision

[mystic horizon]

I will ask my profs but their asses are not responding over winter break

And I'm pretty sure they're legit all from McGill

💀

[quartz ridge]

McGill is god.

[mystic horizon]

I actually looked into that and it looks really fun, I'd be 100% down to

How selective is it?

[hallow apex]

degree mill

[mystic horizon]

Oh.

[hallow apex]

yeah, its like infamous to the point where a number of employers have blacklisted alumni from that school ive heard

[mystic horizon]

LMFAOOOOO WHAT

Woah

Rightt yeah

Okay thank you guys, appreciate you all 😭 I don't use this discord much but I have seen some psychotic messages in some chats HAHA so I did not expect much but this was actually helpful ❤️ Good night everyone

[quartz ridge]

Do people actually know about Mila

[tender coral]

mcgill is an internationally renowned university, even if it's not known for cs, it's still better than concordia imo

[broken whale]

Anyone got bloomberg offer here?

[tired rose]

I did my final round but my recruiter went on vacation and I don't think I'll here back until January :')

[devout nacelle]

go Mcgill

[devout nacelle]

agreed

[broken whale]

Bloomberg?

Check dm! I sent nudes

[tired rose]

yeah

[broken whale]

Intern or ft?

[mystic horizon]

🫡

[mystic horizon]

Thank you

[mystic horizon]

I did see that actually

Who's that

Oh

I doubt it, I barely knew of Pan

That's sick tho

Yeaah

Wait actually i have seen her 😭 Damn, good for her

Genetec to Google to Netflix is wild

LOL really

That's kinda funny LMFAO

Genetec 🚀

Hm yeah

What about the 1 less semester

For context I'm late because I hard threw in cegep during covid

At Conc

I get like 15 free creds at concordia

I'm dumb, what's NG?

Oooh

Oo ty

It's so over...

Yeah

Yeah I'll take anything to be honest LOL

That sounds really helpful I'd appreciate that

But I am looking at the BA btw because of prereqs, just for context

Idk if that matters much

I know the classes are the same if you make them match up with a an additional minor in CS

Can I add you?

[lofty sapphire]

Not sure how the university prestige is relevant to get in faang or other good companies lmao

I’m from UdeM and I know a lot of people who are or did work at all faang companies, even I went to the final round of two of them, and I doubt I missed the offer because of what uni I went but other candidates could solve the problems faster than me, the interviewer seemed still impressed by resume during the behavioural interview

just have good a good resume and internships

[strange trail]

Anyone have advice for finding a place downtown Vancouver? How many months in advance should I start looking?

[lofty sapphire]

and just to finish yes you might get a better change if you go at McGill than UdeM but that’s not due to the university prestige but more because it will be easier to connect with recruiters and connections for referrals, you still competing with all the other candidates so anyway you have to be one of the best to get the offer the university is not saving you if others are simply better than you

[balmy stump]

from mcgill

[vernal sigil]

I go to concordia and got some good internships and new grad offers but id take mcgill in ur situation. No one knows about concordia, even in canada

[vernal sigil]

Usually 1-2 months before

Craigslist, rentitfurnished, uniqueaccommodations

[lofty sapphire]

I get that point, what I mean is that at the end of the day you have to be better than other candidates to get the offer

no matter what uni you went

[balmy stump]

ETS better

[lofty sapphire]

sure, from my experience it’s easier if you went at poly, McGill or Concordia than UdeM or UqaM
