[brisk gate]

but i did get apple reachout for embedded yesterday

[dense crown]

they don't really hire ng in general

from what ik

[brisk gate]

yea they have a uni recruiter who does that, i emailed and no response

[dense crown]

🔥

[brisk gate]

san diego though

[dense crown]

san diego is sick wdym

[brisk gate]

also i might just flop, cant just study leetcode for this

[dense crown]

😭

[brisk gate]

id rather cupertino

[dense crown]

yea for embedded you gotta rly have solid low lvl knowledge

[dense crown]

yea true cupertino is the best for apple

[brisk gate]

mainly since i know people in bay area

super close friend moved to cupertino recently

apparantly its asian food central

[dense crown]

u did comp eng so u shoud be fine tho right

[brisk gate]

sure....

[dense crown]

damn interesting

[brisk gate]

for shop i think they might do another round next week

they had an interview wave this week

i heard their technical is easy

[dense crown]

have you reached out to yc startups/ uw founders btw

you could prolly get an easy ng through that

[dense crown]

yea

its really easy

its basically just leetcode easy

most of the time

and then sys design

which isn't too bad

[brisk gate]

not specifically but im on wellfound searching occasionally

[dense crown]

oh alr

[brisk gate]

sys design

yea okay its gg

[dense crown]

fwik they ask abt ur experience with rails and like sys design related to scaling up rails

[brisk gate]

tf

[dense crown]

i might be wrong but this is wht i rmbr hearing

[brisk gate]

they expect interns to have used rail

[dense crown]

nah for ng

[brisk gate]

yea 0 LMAO

[dense crown]

acc maybe for interns idk i dont think so tho

yea prob not

rails sucks

too old

[brisk gate]

damn okay maybe the interview is not free

i have no idea what any of that stuff is ngl

[dense crown]

yea prob not worth learning rails tbh just for shop

its pre limited scope

only rly companies that use it are shop and github

[brisk gate]

damn if only i could do apple vancouver or something

i think all firmware stuff is in cupertino and san diego though

[dense crown]

they hire lot out of ubc and sfu

yea

[crystal comet]

system design?

ur talking about shopify?

wtf did they do to the interview process dawg in winter it was a lc easy now yall talking about scaling up rails and sys design wtf 💀

ah maybe

there's no such thing as new grad postings anymore though afaik

isn't it just ROs

[brisk gate]

for shopify for new grads it should be intern -> ro

shopify allows ng to do their internships afaik

[crystal comet]

yeah

[worn moss]

yo whats the highest paying company for ng in canada

[little apex]

🤨 How much?

[compact zodiac]

https://www.levels.fyi/leaderboard/Software-Engineer/Entry-Level-Engineer/country/Canada/

[severe arrow]

Meta AI or like DRW

[wind badger]

there are def other companies that pay a lot that are in canada too that aren't there

[safe light]

DRW 🤣

[severe arrow]

He said highest paying for new grad not what’s feasible

Maybe he’s cracked who knows

Or delulu

[safe light]

they don't pay highest for new grad

[severe arrow]

In Canada? Yeah isn’t is like 200-250k

[safe light]

no lol

like for SDE right?

[severe arrow]

Ohhhh that’s right prob qt salary

[safe light]

they pay seniors like 150CAD

[severe arrow]

Yeah I was thinking qt mf

[safe light]

🤣

tbh even 200k for QT

is low

FAANG NG make that in Canada

and u work like 5x harder as a QT

[severe arrow]

FAANG ng is like $180-220 from what I’ve seen

[severe arrow]

This is true

[safe light]

yea

the low end is a bit lower

[severe arrow]

Yeah that’s high end

[safe light]

FAANG is 160-240 me thinks

for NG

[severe arrow]

Ng in Canada 240 is kinda wild

[safe light]

possible

sky is the limit with tech TCs tbh

[severe arrow]

Not in Canada

[safe light]

If you crack out, the location stops mattering

Yes in Canada lmfao

[severe arrow]

For ng?

[safe light]

Yes

[severe arrow]

Damn

I’m interviewing in the wrong places fr

I’m like near the end of a process for a small firm shit salary

I’m stuck being a poors

[safe light]

IYKYK

tbh i need to hard interview prep

i need more MONEYYYY

[severe arrow]

Same tryna get this offer then lateral asap

I got screwed last summer

My ish got rescinded

[safe light]

u intern?

[severe arrow]

No new grad

[safe light]

no job?

[severe arrow]

Nope

[safe light]

citizen?

[severe arrow]

Yeah

[safe light]

go back to school

[severe arrow]

For what masters? Too expensive

[safe light]

ur first offer / job really determins ur life time earning potental

[little apex]

Why should he go do master when he can get 2 YOE?

[severe arrow]

Yeah true I have decent internship experience

[safe light]

because intern / NG is pretty much the only time to break into big tech, it gets harder after that

[little apex]

I mean it’s just a matter of interview skills

[severe arrow]

I just recently graduated so I still have a chance for ng

[safe light]

interview is the easy part

[severe arrow]

I got quite far for a few places

[safe light]

getting the interview with no experience is very hard

https://newsletter.pragmaticengineer.com/p/trimodal-nature-of-tech-compensation

There is a very big delta in earning in this field, some make hundreds of thousands while some make min wage

[severe arrow]

I mean not no experience but yeah it’s honestly just been tough I was expecting a summer internship then return I got screwed

[safe light]

It's hard to jump tiers

[severe arrow]

I’ll try for new grad if 2 years out I get nothing I’ll just do masters then

Not even tryna stay in Canada moving to US as soon as humanly possible

[safe light]

Why

you might find urself in a prison in el salvador

but if ur into that

¯_(ツ)_/¯

[umbral ore]

@severe arrow can u come dm, i have some questions

[ivory pond]

y

[real storm]

Anyone going to the consensus hackathon?

[formal prism]

can companies find out if u edited ur transcript?

I'm graduating this december and I got a new grad offer, but now they're asking for my transcript. i'm lowkey fucked man

[rare shuttle]

Gg

[formal prism]

cant i edit my transcript?

would they ask my school for it too or smth

[severe arrow]

Mom and step dad are in the states

Family there too

[swift kernel]

which company

[formal prism]

its a rlly small local company

[limpid wolf]

i havent done it personally but know some ppl that did. from what it seems it can be swe or swe-adjacent work. I know some that did actual dev work and others that did cobol/mainframe stuff. it all depends on team match and if ur team does dev work

[formal prism]

should i acc do this

i had some personal stuff come up last year and grades have been shit since then

had 85+ before that

[safe light]

🍟👉🛍️

[narrow spade]

Idk how bad your grades are but if you’re doing it for new grad and you’re not failing/barely passing I highly doubt they will care

Esp cuz you said it’s a local company

[swift kernel]

they prolly wont ask ur school cuz they dont have time for it, they'll just take ur word

but also very weird they ask for transcript after offer

[soft hamlet]

depends on team match

it's a generic title for specific departments

can range between SWE, dashboards, and legacy maintenance

[soft hamlet]

why would you

it's not worth potentially failing a BG check

if you already have an offer it's just to prove that you're set to graduate when you claim

[soft hamlet]

is this your first role?

[peak comet]

whats the difference between rbc qts, rbc swe, and rbc quant trader?

[soft hamlet]

swe is in tech and operations, services all other depts with infra and own a lot of the digital products
qts services capital markets and builds quant platforms so that trading booths can use them
quant trader is doing the actual trading

[mild mesa]

Canada does not have as many job opportunities as the US but Toronto has some of the best public transportation in North America
im gonna take pride in that and cosplay a rail tie 😭

(dw not acc gonna do it)

[marble karma]

thats not saying much bro 😭

basically competing with montreal, new york, and mexico city

[mild mesa]

lol yeah

[safe light]

where you live is what you make of it

build something in Canada

[swift kernel]

u know damn well this isn't true

thats why ur parents and my parents came here

[safe light]

My parents didn’t come here lol

But I probably would have been happy regardless of where I ended up

[soft hamlet]

https://tenor.com/view/canadiancontent-hype-craigtube-gif-3116153767522844510

[safe light]

i was....

[queen flower]

it is as long as you don't live in some horrible place

as long as its first world ur good

not too hard to relocate if you're facing problems

If you're actually really good you should have no problem moving to the US as long as you're from a country that provides you some solid opportunities (education & more)

[safe light]

pretty much, if you're born in a first world or even second world country the world is your oyster

and it's not even moving to the USA

There are oppertunity in Canada to make wealth

Canada has better social mobility than the USA

I feel like uni tries to sell people that the only path to wealth is to become a FAANGsexual and slave away for big corpos in the US

but just build something

thinking of it isn't hard

doing it is very hard

having to self motivate yourself

be consistent

learn new things without someone telling you to do so

¯_(ツ)_/¯

[safe light]

you fail and you get better

[swift kernel]

orz mentality

[safe light]

Maybe.
But after writing hundreds of thousands of lines of code,
making some CEO in another country even richer,
you’ll come home,
drop your bag,
collapse onto the mattress on the floor,
open Reddit,
scroll past jokes you’ve seen a hundred times,
arguments no one’s winning,
and think
"is this really it?"

FAANG money is a comfy cage, but it's still a cage that robs you of your potential

[lucid berry]

just having a public transporation system makes it one of the best public transportation in north america

[crystal citrus]

Go train my beloved

[safe light]

ngl i was never a good writer

soon... 🙏

I made a couple of semi-profitable apps, but nothing took off, hopefully the next one takes off and one of these days I won't need to be a wage slave anymore.

maybe I will make it, maybe not, such is life

but at least I tried.

idk maybe i'm being extreme but i had a really bad experience

threatend with my job to be put on PIP to cover my managers ass

screamed at when things outside my control happened

I used to dream of working at one of these companies but holy fuck does it get so bad you wish you could just end it.

I saw a teammate fired on his vacation as the manager screamed at him on the phone while his family could hear because there was a bug in the code

American tech companies really don't respect us, they see us as slaves

[real mason]

to add on to the nhl thing, a lot of players also prefer to go to states in the US that have no income tax, which is why we see a lot of stanley cup finals with teams in states that have no income tax

[dense crown]

so much canadian talent going to the us 😔

[brisk gate]

even then the american companies that have canadian offices so they can pay less for talent feel like they dont hire enough 😭

thats me coping though since am jobless

[brisk gate]

cant stay in canada if there are no jobs

[dense crown]

[spring patio]

Exactly what I was looking for. Thanks!

[wind badger]

Are you looking for directly in downtown core or surroundings/commutable distance away

[stiff crag]

had anyne done the amazon OA

do they ask the same questions?

or is it random?

where can i go to find questions they tend to task in OA's for both Leetcode and Leadership principles?

[polar dune]

How are u getting zon OA?

Is that full time

[spring patio]

Downtown core, but surroundings doesn’t hurt

[brisk gate]

nope, i applied like within 5 minutes of the linkedin job post

didnt hear back from snap san diego for embedded either

[obsidian tangle]

Where do y'all look for places in toronto

[polar dune]

You don’t it’s too expensive, js commute

[crystal citrus]

Yeah just pick a spot thats close to a GO station though

You’re blessed if it’s just a train or one bus to union

[ivory pond]

u can probably rent a dorm from uoft

[wind badger]

Yeah it’s not too expensive if u look slightly outside downtown core near a station

Idk why ppl say Toronto is unliveably expensive ( it is expensive yes ) I’ve consistently found good places at reasonable prices for a big city. It’s still way cheaper than Vancouver and even New York and while the tech salary isn’t as high here as in US you’re still generally way better off than the average person living there

It def helps to find roommates/housemates and to not be directly in middle of downtown

Housing is fucked but I think it’s still not horrible for tech salary

[vague totem]

What questions do capital one ask on their oa?

[spare echo]

this should help https://github.com/Leader-board/OA-and-Interviews/blob/main/Online Assessments.md

I haven't acc done this yet, Im just supposed to be working on this

[swift kernel]

yea go ahead

[upper linden]

Anyone moving to Vancouver this June?

[karmic otter]

Do we know codesignal still adds and removes points based on submission time? I know they changed the scoring system at some point but I can't find recent info on this part

[crystal citrus]

Never said it was

Okay 👍

[wind badger]

except it is if you're looking along east lakeshore line

idk what significantly cheaper is but downtown is like >$2k for a single bed and idk around scarborough area near go stations its like ~1.2-1.5k

or cheaper if you get roommates

[wind badger]

single bed in a sublet yea

anyway maybe i find out im just lucky from this talk 😂

yes

[rose chasm]

Is rbc interview just on your OA? I got a 600 and someone who gave the OA after me got it but I haven’t.

[swift kernel]

everybody getting 600s now, so it's prolly just school

[chilly swan]

I think codesignal score doesn't matter as much as your resume

ik some people who got between 400-500 get interview email

[spare echo]

dang imagine have a shit resume and scoring 434

[chilly swan]

tbh its rng

ik people who got perfect score with internships

even they didnt get the interview

[grave quest]

i did not get a 600, ty a4

q4

[spare echo]

my brain shuts off with matrix questions

[chilly swan]

@grave quest are you waiting to hear back from rbc or did u get an interview

[spare echo]

how do they decide who gets interview then are those people overqualified?!

[chilly swan]

That im not sure because initially I thought it was based on your codesignal score

I think they're looking for students that have 0-1 internships

[spare echo]

same...we'll see what happens tomorrow is the last day they send interviews i think bc application close tmrow

[chilly swan]

Today is the last day they send out interviews

Most people got it on tuesday

[spare echo]

are you sure??

[chilly swan]

yes

[spare echo]

yeah then i think i got cooked

[grave quest]

waiting to hear back after the OA

[chilly swan]

Theres still time

If you dont hear back by 5pm est then

[spare echo]

imma keep checking email 😭 you an intern there rn?

[chilly swan]

yea

[karmic otter]

Idk, aren't we looking into this a bit too much? This is the first time I've heard back from rbc, and from what it sounds like everyone saying if you get ~400 and now 0-1 internships then you get an interview. I felt like I had a good chance this time given OA score and everything but nothing yet. Sometimes you just don't get the dub I'm afraid.

[umbral ore]

which rbc position u guys talking about?

[karmic otter]

for me it's t&o software dev intern

[umbral ore]

oh

do rbc hire new grads?

[karmic otter]

I usually see postings for like entry level not necessarily new grad

like 1-2 yoe type of thing

[umbral ore]

ok

[karmic otter]

but the return offer rate at rbc is good from what I hear, idk how true that is

[chilly swan]

yea its really hard to know what they're looking for

I think it just comes down to ur resume

[spare echo]

dawg ive been applying to rbc since jan 2023 and this is the first time i got an oa that isnt auto...

Nokia > Kinaxis > BDO

do you know what nokia ng pay is like ?

[ivory pond]

nope

[tall pawn]

im assuming bdo cause its not a tech company ?

also is nokia considered somewhat of a brand name ? also have an incoming offer from a series a startup (waiting for pay). so a bit confused

nokia has started giving offers btw

[crystal comet]

i mean yeah people living in toronto are more likely to apply to toronto-based jobs

[brisk gate]

while true but many companies discriminate against non local talent

like unironically

if youre school is local to the same area as the company, more likely to get an outreach even if you no longer live in that area (either they think you might or they have a school target they like)

[safe light]

discrimination against school?

bruh

if u go to a univeristy ur probably on the same playing field as everyone else

school in canada is p much the same imo

Has anyone interviewed at stripe ? Any tips for phone screen prep ?

Or any insight into what type of questions to expect

[silent sundial]

I have yea - it's NOT leetcode, my biggest advice is to just fucking go very fast

the problem is easy, just read it and go go go

there are a lot of parts and a lot of lines of code to write

my stripe interview answers were often 250lines of code in like 35-40min coding period

do not hesitate

it's just like a regular string parsing + dict/map problem + some object oriented stuff, it's very straightforward

like think leetcode easy here

yes

it's not a problem of difficulty

it's a problem of time + write fast

[strong berry]

[idle cobalt]

Yea

Phone screen

[safe light]

i'm sorry

:c

[idle cobalt]

Thanks, man. It's just one of those moments where the imposter syndrome really creeps in and is hard to shake off.

[marsh thorn]

how?

what did they asked that stumped you?

[vague totem]

has anyone heard back from nokia?

[idle cobalt]

That’s the things its the most basic thing imaginable given my experience but i was just bad at time management.

I should have used a paper and pen to visualize it instead of trying to solve it my head

[tall pawn]

[vague totem]

[tall pawn]

[vague totem]

[narrow spade]

Has anyone heard from TD fall for phone screen yet?

[burnt pecan]

[fading mango]

[high path]

[spice garden]

Is anyone starting DoorDash ng in june and haven't got team matched yet?

[spice lance]

[cinder coral]

[rose chasm]

[cinder coral]

[novel dome]

Anyone done robinhood oa?

[limpid raft]

[cinder coral]

[limpid raft]

[cinder coral]

[mortal cape]

Nope

[fair vigil]

.

[high path]

Reach out to ur buddy Tyrone

[fair vigil]

?

[tall pawn]

nokia (hybrid ottawa) 32 vs series a startup (remote) 35-36 ? which one would you take ? likely my last internship

[dense crown]

whichever has higher ro

[barren galleon]

Are capital one OAs auto?

[eternal fossil]

does capital one actually verify when you graduated lol

[hallow sapphire]

Startup

Nokia is hell and you’ll do nothing

[round prairie]

Nokia is very team-dependent
Could be amazing, could be hell

[polar dune]

Depends are u graduating soon?

If not then take startup

If u are close to grad then Nokia for the safer side cause of RO

[tall pawn]

only issue is nokia return offer ( i think its 90k in ottawa) isnt much higher compared to another return ng offer i have (around 75k but remote with parents). so unless the nokia brand is worth much im leaning towards the startup

the startup is also rails + graphql + vue while nokia is same tech stack as previous internships

[ivory pond]

take the startup

[quaint dawn]

chat, I got an inv to schedule an interview. Should I schedule for ASAP (like tmr), or is it okay if I push it back a little (Friday or Monday)

[limpid raft]

Push if not ready

[karmic otter]

Pushing it is fine usually...

[vague totem]

has anyone here worked at PCL Construction swe?

[solid flame]

how do i get a coop

[tranquil goblet]

what are ppl's thoughts about 2 page resume? is it a faux pas?

its not loaded with fluff or anything i just cant really fit things i've done in 1 page

[brisk gate]

i think the general consensus is if youre senior, 2 page is acceptable

if not, then stick with 1 page

[tranquil goblet]

mm im sde 1 so i guess 1 page it is then

[dense crown]

U gotta be at Waterloo

[solid flame]

true

[solid flame]

no point in doing 2 page ever

unless you have like 10 years of experience

or do resesrch

2 page is prob fine

but no one gonna look at the second page

[rose chasm]

has anyone done bitgo interview?

[swift kernel]

i interviewed with bitgo and it was wild. they asked me to design a van emde boas tree optimized for modern hardware caching, which is already insane. then there was a dp problem with superincreasing knapsacks and modular constraints. they also hit me with a graph theory question about finding the minimum feedback arc set in a weighted digraph. oh, and some cryptography stuff about implementing a lattice-based key exchange efficiently. easily the hardest interview i’ve ever done.

[vale solstice]

It gets funnier every time

im lookin for fall intern or summer new grad roles and mfs want like 3 yoe data god architects

[rare shuttle]

[severe arrow]

[severe arrow]

if you're still in school I'd recommend delaying grad and attempting like fall/winter/summer internship cycles new grad is a monster

[icy mirage]

did anyone hear back from rbc int?

[wheat comet]

I haven’t

[forest mesa]

do we have to be 100% honest in our resume?

[swift kernel]

they always find out if u lie in the interview so be honest

never lie on ur resume!

[forest mesa]

bru the market is brutal, i've spoken to a few guys and theve all add a lil extra on their resume. I never liked doing that hence not even getting interviews xD

[swift kernel]

Proverbs 10:2: "Treasures gained by wickedness do not profit, but righteousness delivers from death. "

[grave quest]

depends on the extra

[chrome moss]

i was told ill hear back by june 13th the latest

what did they tell you

[unborn saffron]

never be honest

cheaters always prosper

[swift kernel]

The fear of the Lord prolongs days,
But the years of the wicked will be shortened.
28
The hope of the righteous will be gladness,
But the expectation of the wicked will perish.
29
The way of the Lord is strength for the upright,
But destruction will come to the workers of iniquity.

[icy mirage]

yea they told me june 13th latest too

[outer trout]

anyone know if getting a meta interview is doable without referral

[outer trout]

oh lmao fire

[swift kernel]

Bro eliminating the competition

[brisk gate]

i think this is true

from what ive heard, sometime last year, they stopped accepting new grad referrals

so it would make sense to have intern referrals to stop happening

[swift kernel]

yup uhuh

[brisk gate]

i mean believe what you want but its what other people have experienced

where you literally cant get a referral to work

not that having a referral is useless or not at this level

(id be willing to bet that referrals to fanng for intern/ng is largely usless unless the referrer is some big shot/manager)

😭

wheres my microsoft reachout

was for embedded/systems programming too

[nocturne hedge]

too many doomers

Fall is still possible

[coarse crown]

interested

Hi @nocturne hedge

[hot rapids]

yeah I don't think meta did intern referrals last year?? I think it was open for like 1 day, and then they disabled it.

[surreal owl]

[severe arrow]

like outside of the 1st one. the next 3 were medium/hard

[severe arrow]

interesting

[viral forge]

idk what subject arrays are

[severe arrow]

[viral forge]

interesting

[severe arrow]

it's the first time i've seen out of 1200

What is SAP 1 hr interview like?

its an agile dev cloud position

https://jobs.sap.com/job/Vancouver-SAP-iXp-Intern-Agile-Developer%2C-Business-Data-Cloud-Brit-V6B-1A9/1200942101/

[hot rapids]

It’s pretty random and dependent on your interviewer. Probably some kind of language or tech trivia (TS, OOP, Java, react(?)). They will also ask you LC questions.

Some interviewers might force you to use a specific language like Java.

[fallen mason]

Damn

[fallen mason]

Do you think they would ask irrelevant technologies that aren't even listed on the posting?

[hot rapids]

Probably not

[fallen mason]

I see

What would u recommend prepping?

I haven't taken networking yet

and it's supposed to be a cloud role

[hot rapids]

I can’t say for certain, but if it’s a cloud role, these are some general topics I found to be common: docker/containerization, maybe Kubernetes, AWS concepts, bash concepts, Linux, basic networking concepts (tcp, dns), probably know REST, CI/CD concepts, monitoring tools (grafana, Prometheus, ELK)

[fallen mason]

[jolly basalt]

Remember we had this conversation

[brisk gate]

oh lmao

[jolly basalt]

So like there has not been any ng posting in Canada for 2025?

[jolly basalt]

Have you landed anything yet?

[brisk gate]

nope

[jolly basalt]

Best of Luck bro!

[brisk gate]

you too

[jolly basalt]

If you don’t mind sharing, what all rounds did you went through specifically?

[brisk gate]

for me:
-oa (its 2 data structure question + this quiz thing)
-recruiter screen
-technical screen
-3 technical + 1 behavioural

[jolly basalt]

How did they go for you?

[brisk gate]

everything went super well except 1 technical round where it only went well

[jolly basalt]

Were they mostly LC hard or medium?

[brisk gate]

for me it was med

my last interview was variations upon eachother

like 4-5 mediums

[jolly basalt]

So like how many questions in each technical round before that, is it 2 or more?

[brisk gate]

1 with followups

2nd interview was just 1

proposed brute force with pseudo code

then did improved version

[jolly basalt]

Oh ok! Thanks for sharing!
