[crystal comet]

i don't think i know anyone who got more than 30 for rbc last year

[eternal fossil]

nope

[round prairie]

oh fr?
I've heard people get till $34 I think
maybe its just Amplify that pays more

[crystal comet]

yeah amplify gets more

[unborn saffron]

can i ask what your codesignal score was

[prime drum]

did you get interview

codesignal is prob irrelevant past interview

[unborn saffron]

yea i did

i thought so, i was just wondering how they decide without a technical portion

there werent rlly that many questions asked

[round prairie]

i believe it was 534

[round prairie]

idk man
My interviewers grilled me with so many specific system design questions

[crystal comet]

for what

[round prairie]

was pretty insane

[crystal comet]

rbc?

[round prairie]

yeahh

[crystal comet]

amplify? or regular t&o

[round prairie]

T&o

[crystal comet]

lol wtf

[unborn saffron]

damn what

i didnt get anything like that

mine was super chill

[round prairie]

yeah 😂
I guess it really depends on interviewer
They mightve gone off-script then lmao

[unborn saffron]

yea lmao

[prime drum]

prob because you did swe dev

[unborn saffron]

or i interviewed too late and they already made up their minds at the time

guess ill find out on friday

[unborn saffron]

mine was as well

[fallen coral]

[fallen coral]

yea same

mine was all behavioural

[reef stone]

anybody get microsoft offer

[prime drum]

what year are you guys

[prime drum]

they said swe intern

[unborn saffron]

3rd

[fallen coral]

im in 3rd

praying i get it 🙏

also they gave u a verbal offer?

[deft basin]

Does RBC yield protect or smtg

Last year I got interview with 400 codesignal 0 internships

this year I got ghosted with 600 2 internships 😭

[fallen coral]

im ngl so many people ik with 600 got ghosted

but people with lower got interviews

[misty egret]

Probably

Ive been hearing people with sub 500 code signal getting interview/offer

[supple badger]

i have a 600 and i got an interview

i just think they don’t base it solely off the codesignal , the decision comes down to resume fit + code signal

like they’ll take a lower score with a resume that fits the job over a high score with a resume that’s irrelevant

[unborn saffron]

bruh i had like a 430 or 460 or something and got an interview

its weird

[fallen coral]

yea i had around same

[round prairie]

nahh
They asked me on the phone

[dusky sky]

What’s the expected pay for General Motors swe internship in Canada?

[supple badger]

has anyone gotten rejected from rbc after final interview

[thorny palm]

Hi quick question, On workday account i have verbally accepted offer and on portal now status is in inactive tab as offer accepted. So is this normal.

[surreal owl]

anyone have the trade desk process for canada

[real island]

ask your recruiter

[twilit osprey]

where you able to get it scheduled?

[fierce bay]

yes, finally

[twilit osprey]

When did you do the oa?

And get the survey?

[tropic ocean]

Hey everyone, I interviewed at GitHub for a software engineering position about a month ago. It’s now been 4 weeks, and I haven’t heard back. My recruiter has responded to my previous follow-ups relatively quickly but is saying they don’t have updates yet each time i followed up. I haven’t received a rejection either. I messaged him twice.

Has anyone else been through a long wait time at GitHub or Microsoft? Is this normal, or should I assume they’re passing on me because Ive read elsewhere it might be due to them waiting on internal approvals if they havent rejected or ghosted me yet? Appreciate any insights!

but would it have taken this long aka 4 weeks for if i was their second choice? Would their first choice not been hired by now or a decision made?

[fierce bay]

i did the OA in dec. i was supposed to finish the loop last month but one of the interviewers didnt show up. it took them over a month to reschedule me

what do you mean by survey?

where they ask when i'm free?

[twilit osprey]

yup

[fierce bay]

yes i filled that for jan

[tropic ocean]

Did you get the offer then or was it a rejection?

[fierce bay]

when did you do it

[twilit osprey]

still waiting for the survey

[tropic ocean]

how long if you dont mind me asking?

ok so 6 weeks. Had you followed up with your recruiter and they were getting back each time?

[fierce bay]

do you know of people who've been through the loop and gotten offer / rejection

[twilit osprey]

check the grad_process channels

[tropic ocean]

interesting, my hope is theyll bring on multiple people and are waiting for approvals on it but thats just me doing mental gymnastics. I thought i did well on their interviews so

i personally do, yeah definitely going to keep an eye out for other opportunities. I applied in sept and they got back in jan saying they want me to do the OA

also they ghosted you for 2 weeks straight the first time?

oh wow, that sucks to hear. Thats way too long. In my case my recruiter has responded even on the same day sometimes but obviously that doesnt guarantee anything

they havent told me its for more than one person but i asked in the interviews if multiple candidates meet the bar will they hire more than one and they said its possible so idk. Where are you working now if you dont mind me asking

nice! Im not working for a us finance firm but my role is also remote. This github this is also remote so my fingers are crossed

yeah totally, it would be a real game changer. And the difference is github is 100% remote, its like in their company values along with having no physical office so they would never go back atleast not without overhaul. Can never go back to office at this rate

[nova cape]

Would you make the same argument if it was a no-name company in the states vs a very well known company in Canada?

Shopify/Amazon vs a random startup in the states yes

I ask because I have an offer from a small-medium size company in the States, It's in retail and not very SWE oriented (Online web store, inventory management software development etc).

[tropic ocean]

oh one more question i got is when they finally got back to you did they tell you that they went with someone else. Like how did you know you were a backup?

ok makes sense. Now at the very least since i did the final rounds, i will get a response from them atleast right, whether its a offer or rejection right?

ok thats good, i was starting to think they just forgot about me lol

interesting, ive heard that and then ive heard the opposite but i can see both for sure so no idea. This suspense is killing me though, wish it was over

true, now each company is different so who know but i have to imagine at some point ill know the outcome of this. Was this recent for you or a while ago?

yeah i try to divert my mind but sometimes too difficult

sorry i got so many questions but, how did you think you did in the interviews and then did your gut feeling say at the time you got the AMD job?

thats kinda how i feel right now but clearly that doesnt mean ill get as proven right there

really? Did they tell you were the first one to get interviewed?

oh ok i see. Ill have to wait on the hiring manager to see what he says. Because my interview was on a thursday, then i email on following tuesday asking for follow up at which point the recruiter said they just finished. Then i reached out a week and a half later at which point they didnt say like anything about a competitive process but just they had no updatd yet

if i get it, imma dedicate it partly to you for calming my concerns somewhat hahaha!!!

that makes sense. I know of someone who works at AMD or atleast i did during the pandemic and they too mentioned it was hybrid

[vivid fiber]

What is the startup

The startup makes a ton of diff

Is it vc-backed? What are the founder's creds? What is talent density like?

[devout nacelle]

How good is Accenture?

[outer trout]

still no email gg

@south dagger u?

[south dagger]

yeah ggz lmao

[south dagger]

accenture is booty cheeks

[devout nacelle]

damn lol

[south dagger]

I dont kno the hype around that name, in canada (montreal) they pay 65k for junior

[reef stone]

do ya'll just email your other recruiters to cancel your processes when you get an offer

[misty egret]

Might as well do them for practice right

Or ask for possible deferral

[outer trout]

WAIT I JUST GOT IT

[reef stone]

But like wouldn't it be a waste of their time to go through the whole thing just to say no at the end?

[crystal citrus]

Gz

[devout nacelle]

that's ass

how good is shopify

im debating whether to take or not

[misty egret]

I don’t think you have to feel bad tbh you’re just making the most out of your processes and it’s always nice to have options

[south dagger]

How much they offered u

Shopify gaps accenture hard

[crystal citrus]

Srsly??

[devout nacelle]

for sure

accenture is ass

[south dagger]

to give u a reference im ready to sacrifice an ibm full time offer for a shopify internship lol i just want to work remotely and shopify is one of the few that offers that

[devout nacelle]

yea ibm is also kinda not the greatest either

[south dagger]

woww grats who sent u the email?

[devout nacelle]

what about coalition

coalition fulltime pay is 150k cadish

[south dagger]

bro ibm gaps accenture by far too

[devout nacelle]

shopify i think is 100k cad maybe

[south dagger]

ibm is equal in terms of resume value to shopify its a software company known worldwide

[misty egret]

Accenture has a lot of rep amongst marketing and consulting people I guess it kind of spills over

[reef stone]

IBM >= Shopify

[devout nacelle]

but my thought process is i can just choose to do a study term and then hope for something bigger for winter 2026 and summer 2026

[outer trout]

shopify recruiting

[devout nacelle]

cuz if i take shopify then i can’t do winter 2026 co op

[south dagger]

what time did u do the interview exactly?

3 pm?

was it with gc again?

[reef stone]

IBM more cred for USA jobs

[outer trout]

5 pm pt, 8pm et

AL

[south dagger]

ya only issue is the fkn hybrid work

im from montreal i hvae to move to toronto aint no way im doing that

[misty egret]

Do you have a co-op term limit

[south dagger]

wow im astronomically cooked damn

[devout nacelle]

Yes

[outer trout]

nah have faith

[devout nacelle]

isn’t ibm pay pretty low tho

[south dagger]

what is the equivalent timezone for this to toronto?

i did interview at 3PM EDT

[reef stone]

it ramps up fast in the upper levels

[devout nacelle]

idk i’ve seen a lot of people shopify —> faang rather than ibm —> faang tho

[south dagger]

did u do it before or after that im stupid w times

[misty egret]

Upper limit???

[south dagger]

what look at the number of alumnis

ibm vs shopify

to faang

go on linkedin

[devout nacelle]

max co ops are 6. taking shopify would be my 5th so to me i feel like that’ll be eh

[misty egret]

Oh wow you’ve been grinding

[devout nacelle]

nah i’m just waterloo lol

[reef stone]

isn't shopify an earlier coop people do?

[devout nacelle]

that’s what i was thinking

[misty egret]

I might be the only ubc scrub on this server

[outer trout]

5 PM ET

[south dagger]

bro i have 6 intnerships too ion care

id do shopiy 100% for the remote

u like goin to office?

[devout nacelle]

internship is hybrid tho

yes i do

[south dagger]

ya but RO

[devout nacelle]

fair

[south dagger]

id do the internship just for the. RO or else its a waste of time

[devout nacelle]

idk if i want a RO at shopify though

[south dagger]

where u want RO

u like working in office?

[misty egret]

What other Canadian companies do Fall

[devout nacelle]

i already have a company that i could get RO that pays more

i’d be solely doing it for resume value

[south dagger]

wow its so joever for me

[devout nacelle]

then again shopify doesn’t hire externally anymore like they only hire past interns

[misty egret]

If you already have a better RO I don’t think shopify is worth as final work term tbh

[devout nacelle]

hmm yeah i agree

[south dagger]

@devout nacelle when u did shopify LS, did u say u have 5 intnerships?

i said i have 6 am i cooked?

[devout nacelle]

Rn i have 4

[south dagger]

o fkn hell im done

[devout nacelle]

shopify would be my 5th

ye but in waterloo like 4th co ops is usually faang

[misty egret]

Suffering from success lmao

[devout nacelle]

i already feel like kinda bummy lol

[south dagger]

for me shopify is faang

or at least big tech

[devout nacelle]

for sure big tech

[reef stone]

its the faang of canada

[devout nacelle]

yeah 💀

true

[south dagger]

[devout nacelle]

[misty egret]

Damn

Surely fall is not close to hc right

[devout nacelle]

idk a lot of people push summer to fall

i swear like fall recruiting is one of the worst

[hot rapids]

no way bro, take shop over IBM 😭

[misty egret]

Hopefully I’m people 🙏🙏🙏 Andy Jassy please get me off fall waitlist

I’ll be so cheesed if I don’t get fall

The posting literally said summer OR fall start date and I put fall when I applied

[ebon skiff]

anyone know if shopify gives wfh equipment? like monitors and such

[crystal citrus]

Nah

[eternal fossil]

how serious are recruiters on making sure you graduated in a specific year or month?

[devout nacelle]

they give like a shopify keyboard mouse and headphones

it’s pretty nice

[eternal fossil]

some roles opening up saying i gotta be graduating in dec 2024 to may 2025

[devout nacelle]

linear red switches for the mech keyboard

headphones are meh

[devout nacelle]

[junior hazel]

[devout nacelle]

[junior hazel]

oh fire

[devout nacelle]

i mean you can just take it from the office too lol

I heard they like just started reviewing resumes

Nvm that's gonna happen next week not started yet

[sudden quarry]

how do yk ?

[rain mantle]

Ik an intern and they saw stuff internally with them talking about it

[naive shell]

ik an intern too, he a bastard

he lied to me

he made me pay him money for a referral

he did the same to @real island

[rain mantle]

damn what a scumbag

the guy ik is rly handsome and cool

would never do that

[naive shell]

i saw him beating up puppies and kids
so be careful who you make friends with

[crystal comet]

no they don't

just headphones

and laptop obv

[hot rapids]

Don’t they have Shopify branded keyboards

They don’t give that out? 😭

[restive quest]

I need companies to apply to

that hire junior positions

i running out of options. there is really not that many out there. or im just doing it wrong

[umbral ore]

i just gave interview for Junior CEO position

[devout nacelle]

ye they do

[devout nacelle]

ye

[naive shell]

They didn't give you keyboard?

[devout nacelle]

bro was unlucky 💀

my friend got like two keyboards lmao

and gave one to his sister

[crystal comet]

no they don't lol

[naive shell]

Bro was the last one at the keyboard handing out station

[devout nacelle]

💀

[crystal comet]

keyboards only go to full time ppl

or dev degree

maybe RO interns

but def not regular interns

[naive shell]

My friend got hella stuff lol

[devout nacelle]

🤔

wait which office

toronto?

or montreal/ottawa?

[crystal comet]

ottawa but ik someone at toronto who also didn't get

[devout nacelle]

[naive shell]

[lean prawn]

some interns still got it

[slender swan]

https://eliohasr.medium.com/shopify-remote-internship-my-thoughts-experience-and-the-interview-process-a24412816fda

It did give keyboards back in 2020

Not sure if it does now

[terse portal]

wait fr

so is ibm > shopify

[junior hazel]

surely shopify clears

[terse portal]

shopify hiring tm interns losing its value ngl

[junior hazel]

yeah fair

[proud coyote]

nah they pay more than 30, got 31 ish myself

[crystal comet]

it's not that much of an increase

[hot rapids]

I feel like Shopify still got way more resume clout in the US than IBM?

[reef stone]

Nah it's not even close

IBM is also quantum leader

probably going to become super big in future again

[hot rapids]

If I was trying to get a job in the US I personally would pick Shopify 10/10 times over ibm

[unborn saffron]

i didnt apply to shopify is that a sell

[outer trout]

is it worth negotiating my Shopify salary 💀💀💀💀

this is my first proper swe internship

i would use my current salary as an annotator as justification tho

[reef stone]

I would pick Shopify 3/10 times over IBM

[fickle juniper]

Why do ppl view this as a bad thing?

[hot rapids]

i think they go by how many internships you've done

[vivid fiber]

You can try, but i doubt they would budge

[outer trout]

ah shit

[outer trout]

i js dont wanna get rescinded lmao

[zenith star]

Intern salary is meaningless

[odd saddle]

recruiter specifically told me its non negotiable

[jolly basalt]

Those of you who have worked at big tech, do you get reached out by recruiters on LinkedIn for new grad positions?

[outer trout]

lol aight bet

[vivid fiber]

Actually kinda true

Intern salary is a bonus

Fulltime is what matters

[zenith star]

+1

[vernal sigil]

Trash intern salary means trash ft salary

[zenith star]

Yea but I meant it more in the way like the salary you make as an intern isn’t gonna be that life changing 99% of the time

No use in negotiating it

[proud coyote]

Asking for a friend, did anyone get RBC intern rejection?

[swift socket]

ws or Shopify, which one would you take and why?

[tough knot]

Ws and not even close

Everyone and their mom is at shopify rn

Wealthsimple

but shopify ng tc is higher

[slender swan]

I would personally go with WS

[slender swan]

Its true, both my mom and I are at Shop

[limpid wolf]

is it actually? I thought shop was lower than ws?

[ivory pond]

I heard ws ng tc is 95k

and a lot of shopify interns start at L5 if they do ro

[limpid wolf]

i was just looking on levels but maybe thats inaccurate

[limpid wolf]

ohh thats cool

[ivory pond]

I saw someone here asking if they should negotiate it to 100k

so I think it’s relatively accurate

[hot rapids]

i think WS probs less known in the US than shop tho

[zenith star]

Ws is a much cooler company imo

But Shopify name is prob bigger overall

[proud coyote]

Shopify without a doubt, if ur into big tech recruiting in states they know shop, no one knows wealth simple there

[slender swan]

Ws more interesting product, pretty cool people there, and free food
Shop better ft tc, bigger name, product might be cool if u happen to get into a cool team (its totally RNG)

[reef stone]

shpify way better than ws, not even close

[simple agate]

doesn’t shopify also give free food

[slender swan]

Its cheap, but not free lol

Shop does offer free snacks

[reef stone]

swe have big pot bellies, they need less food

[slender swan]

This is true for Winter, not sure for Summer

[simple agate]

i’m reneging i thought it was free

[slender swan]

5 buck breakfast 8 buck lunch

Its buffet style too

[simple agate]

oh buffet style might save it

[slender swan]

Considering the pay and the allowance it's pretty good

[simple agate]

what snacks they got

[reef stone]

kozyshak rice pudding

[harsh dew]

have you heard back yet? i did my interview on monday and i haven’t yet

[hot rapids]

I just can’t imagine a cali recruiter knowing what WS is 😭

“It’s like Canadian robinhood”

[limpid wolf]

its better than robinhood lol

[hot rapids]

Yeah I don’t disagree

[reef stone]

they probably think you mean wall street, then you instantly get past all the processes

[outer mango]

Took the final on Wednesday, haven’t heard back yet

[unborn saffron]

did anyone else here receive an rbc offer

[ivory pond]

yah

[unborn saffron]

had a question but the recruiter answered it lol

[opal basin]

did you get it today?

[unborn saffron]

yea

like half an hour ago or something

[opal basin]

congrats

t&o or qts?

[unborn saffron]

t&o

and thank you

[vivid fiber]

Not necessarily

[violet swift]

does shopify pass us big tech res screens?

[polar dune]

Yes

[violet swift]

so that means if im not unlucky i should be getting OAs

[ivory pond]

yes

u might be able to skip the OAs tbh

straight to final

[violet swift]

yeah with a company the level of shopify on my resume surely

[ivory pond]

might even just get an offer ngl

[tepid flax]

hey anyone else finish amazon sde technical intv for Van Location?

[vernal sigil]

So a company paying 30/h for intern is gonna have a better new grad salary than one paying 50/h?

[vivid fiber]

Ex. Snapchat pays less than Amazon for intern, but fulltime pay is higher

[vernal sigil]

How much less

[vivid fiber]

Like 15 less

Iirc

Its been a while

Since i was an intern

[vernal sigil]

So it’s not trash intern pay it’s like 45-50

[mighty folio]

should i send follow up to recruiter if i haven't heard back from ws since last week monday

It’s not “this year”

Fuck RBC

They think they are hot shit 🤣 mandatory in office 29/hr Toronto

[alpine wadi]

in-person 5 days?!

[inland moss]

I think 2-3 days minimum

[grave quest]

hot take you guys are picky

27 an hour is still good money

even if you commute and stuff

[inland moss]

It’s not if it’s in Toronto it barely covers rent lol

Unless you live with family

[dreamy patio]

anyone who has zon interview in coming days?

[inland moss]

They never scheduled my interview

Got this on Feb 5

[dreamy patio]

[inland moss]

Intern

[crystal comet]

[unborn saffron]

im just lucky i can commute

but if you live far then yea

[inland moss]

The thing is there’s also no reason their work must be on site

[still star]

anyone do zoom whiteboard for DRW swe intern (montreal) before? not sure what to prep

[inland moss]

My job is fully remote in Ottawa and it’s 29/hr (first coop)

Seems like average RBC intern works even less than I do

[unborn saffron]

rbc just stingy then

[inland moss]

Yeah that and maybe Toronto’s shit mayor

[grave quest]

[crystal citrus]

Were you working dt or the gta?

[grave quest]

dt

[vivid fiber]

Ah

[crystal citrus]

Tf?

[grave quest]

if you get a rent controlled unit its golden

kinda of a shit housing spot but literally all u need a roof over ur head

building is like from the 70s

so its not good

[crystal citrus]

How much are you paying tho?

[grave quest]

1400

[crystal citrus]

Not bad

But still

[grave quest]

no parking

i have to commute everywhere

or rideshare

but its a fine tradeoff

[crystal citrus]

Half your paycheck is gone to commuting and rent

[grave quest]

better than all of it to rent

[crystal citrus]

Well yeah you dont have an option other than to live in the gta

How much you spend on the ttc?

[grave quest]

around 200 or so

but I can usually get a metropass to make it worth

[crystal citrus]

Word

[grave quest]

lowkey tho if ur in toronto its walkable to an extent

saves alot if ur willing to trek to get groceries and shit

[crystal citrus]

Yeah i was interviewing w a company that was 10 minutes from union station

A lot dont live in the area and want to stay dt for their internship but unless you got roommates its fucked

[swift kernel]

[crystal citrus]

No shot

[crystal comet]

easy enough for an 11 year old to pass

[devout nacelle]

[devout nacelle]

[quartz ridge]

That’s impossible lol

You can’t be 11 and get any internships

Unless you’re 3000 iq which is inhumane

[mighty folio]

https://www.linkedin.com/in/osherac/

[unborn saffron]

[drifting siren]

hey guys, has anyone here done a masters in DS either in canada or some online MS from the US, who i can get some feedback on

[prime drum]

@vernal sigil my friend saw you at waterloo like a week ago 😭

[zenith star]

It’s always a good day when pork comes out of his hole

[brisk gate]

[proud salmon]

whats better for later getting a job at nyc, robinhood or amazon in canada

[stiff nebula]

zon

[analog current]

they dont transfer to the us, you would have to apply directly to the us

[vivid fiber]

Robinhood

Better name brand

[real island]

No they do

[analog current]

really, what season

[real island]

But you need to reach L4 + depends if ur team lets you

[analog current]

oh im talking about intern

everyone ik who tried to transfer from Amazon Vancouver to Seattle was denied as interns

[real island]

Yes that’s impossible

Only way is if ur loo and apply to Seattle co-op role

[analog current]

yeah everyone ik who tried to transfer is a waterloo student lmao

direct entry it is

[proud salmon]

do u know if they do internal transfer

[vivid fiber]

Idk

[vernal sigil]

probably not. theyre hiring in canada bc its cheaper

[zinc knot]

$33/hr intern pay from robinhood is a fucking joke

[prime drum]

microsoft is such a good place to work at

my friend told me their internship experience was good

[vernal sigil]

Low pay boring work windows

[prime drum]

working on an OS seems like good experience

what you on about

[vernal sigil]

Yea because everyone who works at microsoft works on developing windows

[prime drum]

i think messi is just jealous

cuz he didnt get ms internship

[vernal sigil]

Damn u got me there

[zinc knot]

@broken whale gave me one 3 days ago and i got hired as principal SWE today.

previous role was swe intern at headstart ai

[devout nacelle]

robinhood nyc for sure

congrats

[safe light]

congrats on janitor offer

[reef stone]

did you just skip junior then?

[devout nacelle]

is shopify pay negotiable

[crystal comet]

it wasn't for winter, but i've heard there's different pays this time around

possibly based on how many previous terms?

[devout nacelle]

yeah i think something like that

close to around 50 cad per hour, some people ik got 48/hr. i think summer pay is a bit higher than winter pay

50 cad is aight

but if u go to the states u make so much more just purely from the conversion

average janitor be makin more than entry level SWEs from the conversion not even joking

[wheat comet]

nah they bumped intern pay a lot now

some interns making more than full time

at shop

[south dagger]

Are u including the 1k per month?

@devout nacelle Highest i saw was 84600 + 1k per month so thats 12k total yearly 96600 which is around 45/h

Have you seen higher?

[crystal comet]

wut

i haven't heard 50 cad yeah

?

2080 working hours in a year

[south dagger]

96.6k / 54 weeks then divide again by 40 hours

[crystal comet]

what maths are you doing lol

[south dagger]

45 is insane considering its a canadian company

[crystal comet]

best way to upperbound salary is divide the yearly in half

96.6k/yr -> a bit less than 48.3/hr (96.6/2)

[valid sigil]

How are you getting 54 weeks in a year lmao

[naive shell]

i divided year -> week -> 40

[naive shell]

he works overtime

2 weeks in 1 week

[south dagger]

mb im sleepy lmfao

[south dagger]

U know whats funny is that its a fact

@unreal field big s/o to you fr u goated in my heart

When did you get yours

[real island]

Read the job description

[prime drum]

[crystal comet]

no ROs until march

[crystal citrus]

would you get in the ring for an extra 20 an hour?

[crystal comet]

uhhh yeah

i could take most of the other interns

[high path]

Do u generally know if they gonna RO u?

or is it something u only find out at the end?

[crystal comet]

there's 2 performance reviews

if you get "positive" on the second one (in march) you get RO
