Anyone applied to CentralSquare for Coop and got ahead in the initial rounds of hiring?

[lofty meteor]

Anyone got an interview at pointclickcare for intern?

[rigid meadow]

did you apply off ww? I didnt see fall postings from them anywhere

[crystal citrus]

[safe light]

hello

[fair vigil]

@high path

[safe light]

we winning

[high path]

Hi

[formal prism]

How prestigious is OMERS

and does anyone know the ng salary for it?

[restive quest]

Who is hiring this Summer ? I see Amazon all the time but I get auto rejected for every application since I failed the final round in October 2024.

[wild patio]

Did you get an interview call from them? I remember applying to their coop position at the beginning of may but no update on the application since then

[formal prism]

I got an offer

for the 8 month coop

[wild patio]

Do you remember when you applied?

[formal prism]

start of may i believe

[analog current]

I got the OA the other day

[zinc knot]

what is that

[fallen mason]

why does geotab have so many stages

Talent Team interview -> problem solving quiz -> hiring manager interview -> oa -> final interview

wtf?

[brisk gate]

for intern or FT?

mine is for FT:
hiring manager interview -> talent team interview (HR) -> problem solving quiz -> technical interviews

also what you described is pretty standard tbh

[fallen mason]

for intern

[brisk gate]

just the ordering is weird

[fallen mason]

3 interviews is crazy though

[brisk gate]

not really

[fallen mason]

ive never done 3 interviews for a position before

[brisk gate]

since one of them is behavioural

[fallen mason]

and its for fucking geotab

[brisk gate]

one of them is HR (not really an interview)

[fallen mason]

amazon has like 1 interview

tesla 2

[brisk gate]

oa + workstyle wtv for zon tho

[fallen mason]

yea but not counting oa

otherwise geotab would have 5 stages

[brisk gate]

then its just 2 + a quiz for geotab

and at that point quiz is just oa part 2

[fallen mason]

they say talent team might be technical

i have the interview in like 1 hr

we'll see ig

[brisk gate]

Interview with a Talent Team member to discuss HR and compliance items (including compensation) - 30 minutes virtually.

glgl

[fallen mason]

tyy

[fallen mason]

the interview is an hour long tho

[brisk gate]

lmao???

maybe its HR + screening

like making sure youre a human being and going through resume

like a typical recruiter screening stage

[fallen mason]

hmm true

[brisk gate]

mine is 30m prob since i had referral

[fallen mason]

never done one before

[brisk gate]

anyways glgl

[fallen mason]

tyty

[wild patio]

@fallen mason @brisk gate are yall undergrads?

[brisk gate]

ive graduated from undergrad if that answers your question

[fallen mason]

i am

4th year

[fallen mason]

oh btw do yk how much they pay?

[brisk gate]

for intern?

no idea

for ft? also no idea

LMAO

my friend works for waterloo office but lives in the states

[fallen mason]

ahh LOL

damn wtf

[brisk gate]

had another friend work for toronto office but left for uber

[fallen mason]

uber is cool

[fallen mason]

this makes no sense tho

[brisk gate]

yea he occasionally has to drive to waterloo

[fallen mason]

why would u make CAD and spend USD

[brisk gate]

but he works remotely

pretty sure geotab is international in this case

like he gets usd

but closest office is waterloo

[fallen mason]

oh that makes sense

[brisk gate]

so he only travels there occasionally

also hes had some dual citizen requirement

where you have to live in the states for a certain amount of time to obtain american citizenship

[short reef]

Are RO rates good for Canadian banks?

Nope, the recruiter didnt show up for the phone screen

[eternal fossil]

[dull grail]

Anyone do instacart OA?

[wooden hearth]

[wild patio]

do you guys use your uni email during applications or a personal one?

[tall pawn]

uni. seems more professional

[wheat comet]

T&o? When u get offer

[hot rapids]

Usually always use personal

[broken whale]

Anyone do instacart OA?

[restive quest]

I am trying to find more startup roles to apply to, but besides Wellfound, I don't know too many sites that specialize in that. Any ideas ?

[potent flint]

what’s your guys OA rates by chance?

sent out ~110 apps to only get 4 OA

does being a second year have anything to do with it or?

[dense crown]

Likely

If ur not from loo it’s pretty rough everywhere

[potent flint]

okay thank you

[potent flint]

yea i heard

bay or bust isn’t even that big anymore there

June 20

[brisk gate]

it was just 2 data structure problems with this questionnaire

iirc the leetcode questions, they didnt care about runtime (as long as it passes their tests?)

i got lc hard (dp) + lc medium (array or 2 pointer iirc)

i was lazy and didnt do the medium efficiently

[midnight oxide]

How do u guys track when internships come out?

[peak herald]

I use my current job's email to apply. More professional than school email

[regal lotus]

guys dm @glad echo if you want jane street mumbai referrals

[glad echo]

I cannot even start with how evil @regal lotus is. He beats up disabled + homeless people for fun and gloats about it online. If you see him on discord please ignore his messages or block him. As individuals in a difficult job market we need positive people around us rather than negative, violence fuelled individuals.

[tall pawn]

lol. Just meant the uni name seems more professional for internships. dk how true it is tho

[dreamy patio]

is it proctored?

[merry echo]

[fluid harness]

[orchid crag]

😔

[fluid harness]

how did u get this info btw

[orchid crag]

im at rbc rn

im not sure if it's fully merged yet but they just call it Fall Student programs altogether now

[fluid harness]

[orchid crag]

[fluid harness]

u mean offers?

[orchid crag]

[fluid harness]

[crisp bane]

Thanks, I guess there is no Toronto specific one 😊

[crystal hornet]

Has anyone interviewed at info tech for sde intern?

[viral tree]

Yeah

Did it for this summer

[crystal hornet]

how was the the interview?

I have one this monday

[viral tree]

The first interview was a behavioral interview, just general hr stuff, like tell me a time when you made a mistake and what did you do, etc. This was my first interview so I bombed it lol by saying my weakness is in communication. Also they are very strict about being on a co op program which I was not. After the behavioral is a technical interview with a manager. They use ruby on rails so they will ask you if your good with that. They will ask stuff like tell me about yourself

If u don't get it, they ghost u

[crystal hornet]

okok bet thx, is the technical in Ruby or are they just asking general questions on it?

[viral tree]

Probably general questions, don't think they're gonna ask for leetcode

[wild patio]

Did anybody get an interview call from Dayforce?

[grave quest]

they call ur phone number?

or do they email u

[wild patio]

wonky ahh system, some people are getting emails apparently

yeah there’s no jobs just give up ngl

[swift kernel]

yea i agree u should give up

oil fields are calling

[fluid drum]

Just get into the trades, ppl always splurge on costly renovations during a recession. I heard it from a guy who’s never actually worked in the trades but he sounded confident

[swift kernel]

oil fields unironically start at like 100k

and they pay for ur room and board

[fluid drum]

might be easier than finding a job at rbc or sum

60 hr weeks ain’t no sweat

[swift kernel]

light work ahlie

guys share some alpha please

[fluid drum]

All roads lead to rbc, why apply anywhere else?

[swift kernel]

fort mcmurray rbc 🔥

rbc oil fields are calling

where is pork bro

did bro finally get a job

[fluid drum]

hired at rbc reportedly

It’s canadas largest tech company after all

[orchid crag]

I'm surprised that RBC is the hype now😭

like what is this

[safe light]

desprate times... desprate measures...

[fluid drum]

it was always quite prestigious tho

[orchid crag]

rlly

a year ago people are saying banks will lower your likelihood of entering tech

[fluid drum]

They were jealous, there’s a reason it’s a more successful company than shopify

or cohere etc

[crystal comet]

shop clears rbc hard lmao

rbc's culture is slacking 8 hours a day

i think i forgot more than i learned in those 4 months

[fluid drum]

maybe it’s team dependent

[crystal comet]

what teams at rbc would you perceive as prestigious

[fluid drum]

I dont know them personally but im sure they exist somewhere, somehow

[crystal comet]

why do you think it's prestigious at all then

i won't lie i thought it looked nice on linkedin whenever i saw it before but trust it is not worth the hype

[fluid drum]

because biggest company and existed for longer than canada

[crystal comet]

shopify second biggest company and actually a tech company tho

[brisk gate]

i mean canadian banks cannot be allowed to fail

and not sure by what metric rbc is "doing better" in

not disagreeing or anything but its just bank vs tech company aint really easily comparable

[unborn saffron]

bruh shopify negs

[hot vessel]

arrrrrrr beeeeeee seeeeee

[cyan field]

anyone subletting their place fall term in downtown toronto? looking for housing

[night vine]

[soft hamlet]

[soft hamlet]

they are one of the largest employers in Canada rn for co-ops, fall has 200-250 headcount for tech

[soft hamlet]

[daring slate]

What’s the difficulty level for capital one OA?

[wheat comet]

Isnt it gca

[daring slate]

What’s that?

[lost lark]

Amplify probably lol

Not much else

[soft hamlet]

do you have a new grad offer / do you have anything real already on your resume

[orchid crag]

This is not bad I’d say

I heard good things about RBCCM QTS full time

[solid flame]

code signal

it was easier than the avg gca

[soft hamlet]

?? why would you take rbc what

[orchid crag]

If it’s RBCCM in the US they pay not bad I heard

[tough knot]

Shopify?

[thorn crypt]

did anyone do the ibm tech assessment

[rotund palm]

Hey does anyone know the interview process for associate research intern at huawei?

[wind badger]

Rbc

[daring slate]

Thank you

[mystic junco]

what are some good night clubs in toronto
how do they compare with bay area
these are important factors for me

[mystic junco]

bro the salary range seems to go up to 40 an hour

unless if i read wrong

[orchid crag]

Well no one I know got anything near that lol

[rain mantle]

Definetly cap only thing I heard pays a lot is quant at rbc

I think even borealis was like 30s

[grave quest]

idk if satire but coda is ur best bet

[orchid crag]

borealis get paid the same rate now😔

[rain mantle]

yea i was in t&o and got flat 30 and i didnt know anyone making more than me

[crystal citrus]

https://tenor.com/view/ishowspeed-trying-not-to-laugh-laughing-facepalm-lmao-gif-15446474421410342464

stay in the bay area

[fluid drum]

does rbc raise comp for returning interns by much?

for the entire term or per 2 weeks?

[solid flame]

i heard its pretty easy to negotiate at rbc

[rain mantle]

this was negotiated and they wonly went up 75 cents

[fluid drum]

75 percent or 75 cents, can u clarify the increase ty

[inland moss]

I think RBC is more worth than shopify

I interviewed for shop zon and rbc in winter

only rbc did not extend offer

it's very coveted and some call it goldman sachs of the north, plus nasdaq and 0.7 citadels

[rain mantle]

75 cents

[swift kernel]

rbc >>>> jane street

jane street is rbc of the south

[unborn saffron]

is that increase effective for the whole term or just the first week, can you clarify ty

[rain mantle]

nah they just gave me a loonie bonus

[fluid drum]

extra 75 cents per day, don’t spend it all in one place

[inland moss]

jane and finch street

ciena seems worth for women

[swift kernel]

robson street 😈

[inland moss]

@plain mortar why do you think it's not worth for women

it's one of the companies were women earn more

[plucky ridge]

because women should be exempt from hard work imo (feminist, 6'2)

[inland moss]

ciena is light work

[plucky ridge]

i know a girl named sienna and she wouldnt appreciate that at all

take that back

[inland moss]

I have heard that women there can just not have PR merged

but even for men it's light work

[plucky ridge]

i have every PR merged thats not tough bucko

making the PR is the hard part

you got a lot to learn

[inland moss]

so true

[hot rapids]

what is bro saying 😭

[plain mortar]

😰😰

Don’t out me like this

[inland moss]

so it’s true

I’ve heard men at ciena will argue making new files is adding “maintenance” and prefer 100000+ line Python files

how was the palantir oa guys

[mystic junco]

thank u

[mystic junco]

rbc has quant :0

[inland moss]

Did it yesterday, apparently it involved bombing something

[fluid drum]

palantir, rbc, or shopify is better ?

[swift kernel]

yea

u got int didnt u

if they like u they like u

if u pass the bar and they alr sent out rejections then maybe

[valid sigil]

Checking transcripts is usually just to confirm you're actually studying where you said you're studying and also confirm your expected grad date

The places that care about grades normally filter that out before interview I feel

i'm free

holy shit it was a battle through hell

[fluid harness]

Where

[safe light]

G

[fluid harness]

Gaotek?

[safe light]

Yea

[dense crown]

R u from loo?

Probably

Did you apply through ubc board or external

Oh ok

You are probably fine I don’t think Tesla cares abt gpa

I’ve heard of ppl with cav of 60 getting Tesla swe

[fluid drum]

does rbc borealis ai do anything for autonomous driving?

[safe light]

no

loo doesn't give u an advantage

if u already go to a known uni

[safe light]

probably not lol

[reef stone]

lol

[plain mortar]

Yeah I’ve heard the banking company has been investing heavily in self driving car development lately. There’s whole teams exclusively building custom RBC self driving cars

[analog current]

my friend at ubc had a term in the 60s right before getting Tesla

[dense crown]

U will be fine I wouldn’t stress

[dense crown]

This is not true

How’s the ubc coop board btw

I’m curious

[safe light]

this is true

the reason why waterloo kids are successful isn't cuz their school

it's cuz the program forces them to get COOPs early

meanwhile other schools don't have that pressure

and the culture

but if u go to a shitty school but srround yourself with smart people and try hard to get an internship first year u will be fine

[fluid drum]

that’s true tbh

Do the recruiting events differ much between schools even, alumni networks are largely the same. There’s no chance a hiring manager who went to Loo might prefer a loo student because that would be a discriminatory

[safe light]

yeah

[wind badger]

I can tell you firsthand it’s not just this

I am in another top coop program in the country but doesn’t even compare to loo

Our opportunities are pitiful

They make it extremely easy for no experience people to get internships esp the first one

[brisk gate]

still rng for loo tbh

[fluid drum]

just means you have to work a little harder

[brisk gate]

some terms coop was just abysmal and couldnt find any

but to say uw doesnt have an advantage is coping

[wind badger]

It’s always rng but it’s useless to say that

[brisk gate]

yea

[wind badger]

It’s always about maximizing chances

[safe light]

which school?

......

lmfao bro

get real

UofT name is not holding u back

[brisk gate]

^

[wind badger]

I never said that

[safe light]

like now we are just coping

[wind badger]

I said the coop program is nothing compared to Waterloo

[fluid drum]

uw is overrated york and trent are just as good. A slight disadvantage isn’t the reason we’re failures

[wind badger]

I am successful im not mad about my choices

[safe light]

bro who the fuck cares about COOP

u have UofT

just apply

[wind badger]

Ik

[safe light]

Ur school name will give u the same chances as waterloo students IF not better due to the AI powerhouse of UofT

if you go down the researhc route

[wind badger]

I’m just contributing to the conversation about Waterloo coop not trying to say my school is worse

I think it’s better

[brisk gate]

i dont think its as bad as you make it out here

tbh

[fluid drum]

just drop out and make a startup

[wind badger]

It’s not its comparative to Waterloo

[brisk gate]

uoft is def a target school for a huge amount of companies

[safe light]

bro

u think just because

a company lists on the waterloo works

that they have higher chances?

Like lets tackle the premise why does the COOP even matter ?

[fluid drum]

that’s ridiculous, it’s well known no recruiters prioritize waterloo students

[safe light]

post resume

which company?

post resume

[fluid drum]

amd is trash anyway why would you want it

[brisk gate]

💀

[safe light]

like this is preium cope

wagu stake

cope

[fluid drum]

do you have an AMD graphics card by any chance?

[wind badger]

I’m getting intvw at tiktok, cb, amazon etc

It’s not use

[wind badger]

Yes 🤣🤣

[brisk gate]

yes

[safe light]

then what's the problem?

[brisk gate]

amd value is insane vs nvidia

[safe light]

ur getting better opportunies

than the Waterloo student

lmfoa

man

[wind badger]

There’s no problem I never complained once

I’m just saying f Waterloo is better bro

Why r u getting so triggered is the question

[fluid drum]

fuck waterloo it’s not even good trent CS is up and coming

[brisk gate]

hes no 1 waterloo hater

[safe light]

it's true i am a hater

[brisk gate]

like i understand the point hes making

[safe light]

but mikel u must understand the insanity people go through to justify that Loo is actually better

like this guy randomly got rejected from 1 company

[brisk gate]

but bro is def no 1 hater (at least ironically )

[safe light]

that's not even B tier

and now the conculison is that waterloo helped

like

i feel insane

[brisk gate]

i mean there is some truth to it

but ive never felt like i reaped the benefits of uw

[safe light]

Im willing to bet the loo student had better projects than aligned with AMD

[brisk gate]

im actually getting discriminated to some extent for ng search (this is more of a reach)

[fluid drum]

most children of billionaires don’t feel privileged either

[brisk gate]

my dad got me a referral for some boomer telecom and the referrer was like:
why would a uw grad want to stay in ottawa

no one wants me frfr

[safe light]

idk i went to a much worse school than Loo or UofT

and not once did i think the school held me back,

The reason why I'm not richer is entirely my fault for developing a league of legends addiction during the summers instead of leetcoding

[brisk gate]

LMAO

[safe light]

idk man

[brisk gate]

depends

shop def glazes uw apparantly

(still didnt get intern interview as a ng tho )

[wind badger]

I got rejected from much more dude

It’s an anecdote

[safe light]

i spent summer 1 zero projects playing super smash bros
summer 2 zero projects playing league of legends

Start of year 3 oh shit I need a job
got an ok company that didn't give me RO, joined a shity company new grad and now I'm at a okish place.

I think as long as u just spend a few weeks building some interesting projects and leetcode u'll be ok

[wind badger]

All im claiming is loo coop program is better than any other coop program and puts loo kids at an advantage

I’m still doing well for myself despite that and my school definitely never gave me a disadvantage

Just because I say one thing about loo doesn’t mean I’m saying all but loo sucks

Or downplaying how good I am where I am right now

[fluid drum]

just do masters at some ivy league as revenge against loo

[wind badger]

Stop hastily generalizing me with others

I don’t have anything against loo

I literally never once said “oh im doing so much worse because loo kids are taking all my jobs and my school sucks”

Get it real

Some of the smartest ppl I’ve worked with are non loo kids

[safe light]

look man it's ok we can agree to disagree

i'm just a loo hater

[wind badger]

It’s good to have a strong locus of self control and say it’s all down to the individual but it’s ignorant to dismiss the environment someone grows up in

Waterloo kids can surely be bums too

I know a few

[wind badger]

My friend that works there said this kid didn’t even know how to use git

It was that bad

That’s the recruiters fault for not testing them properly

[brisk gate]

yea that stuff baffles me

ofc students from different schools will have that

[wind badger]

Yea you’ll get that everywhere I don’t know how the recruiter decided on him

So weird

[brisk gate]

at the same time git isnt hard to learn

so its prob doesnt make too much of a diff

[wind badger]

True

But not knowing git is like, how did this guy even get enough project experience

[dense crown]

shopify

[wind badger]

Like surely you’d learn it eventually right?

[dense crown]

they have 40% hiring quota from waterloo

[wind badger]

Bloomberg too is almost all loo

[dense crown]

im from uoft as well, and the only companies that seem to favor uoft are amd intel/altera tenstorrent and cerebras

they hire a LOT of interns from ece/cs

[wind badger]

When I got my offer to Carleton they tried to tempt me with a shopify internship

🤣🤣

I guess that’s all changed now

[dense crown]

what school do you go to?

[dense crown]

lmao yea 💀

are you in asip? @wind badger

oh i see

[wind badger]

Decided it was better than asip when I joined

[dense crown]

how is the board?

[wind badger]

I think it’s better than the other campuses, they have had it for a longer time

And it’s more fledged out

[dense crown]

asip gives you access to scarb board as well as pey

[wind badger]

Yea we do too

[dense crown]

oh i see

[wind badger]

I don’t think it was always like this

Not sure tho

[dense crown]

ive heard the uoft boards in general are pretty shit 💀

[wind badger]

I got my first two internships from them tho so im not complaining

[dense crown]

did you get all ur jobs externally or through the board

[wind badger]

Mixed

Doesn’t asip make you do a 12-16 month?

[dense crown]

yea

one 4 month after 2nd year and then 12-16 after 3rd

[wind badger]

Yea that’s why I didn’t wanna do that

[dense crown]

but apparentlyt hey are flexible now

you can do 3 4 months

[wind badger]

Ic

[dense crown]

i think they are working one expanding the sequencing system

[wind badger]

That’s how ours was from the start basically

Damn no more upside to my campus anymore 💀💀

[dense crown]

yea im not a fan of 12-16 month coops

unless its a good company

[hot rapids]

I think some places do exclusive post to Waterloo tho, like X and Pinterest

[dense crown]

yea

[wind badger]

Yep

[dense crown]

jane street and meta only hire waterloo for off season internships

[wind badger]

i think the only big tech company that hired almost only ut students was amazon robotics

[dense crown]

theres no real diff between the campuses imo honestly

[wind badger]

but that stopped like 2 years ago

[wind badger]

yeah im graduating this sem anyways so idgaf

[dense crown]

st george just has more course offerings

[dense crown]

oh yea

i found this interesting

12-16 month coop at amazon would be really good experience

[wind badger]

i never felt the need to go to utsg for them too so its pretty fine

depends on program though

[dense crown]

true

damn

[wind badger]

my roommate is actually working for them rn

[dense crown]

i heard the scarb board had epic games lol

that would be a sick internship

[wind badger]

they did? wish i still had access to it lol

[dense crown]

at least what my friend said

[hot rapids]

All I’ll say is that ppl in the US don’t really know my school (t3 Canada), but everyone knew Waterloo without question

[dense crown]

they also had riot games

ubc?\

[wind badger]

i never saw them but this may be a recent development

[dense crown]

ubc is better than uoft for jobs ngl

[hot rapids]

University of Boulder Colorado 😂

[dense crown]

yea not sure

[wind badger]

which is cool

but not exclusively

but they do post

[dense crown]

university of british columb

[hot rapids]

Naw I’m saying that’s what they think it is

[dense crown]

ive heard activision sucks to work at 😭

[dense crown]

ohh 💀

nah no way

i feel like more ppl would know ubc than boulder colorado

surely

[wind badger]

bro what 💀

[dense crown]

esp on west coast bay area

[wind badger]

americans think i go to university of texas

sometimes

[dense crown]

yep 💀 ik ppl who think uoft refers to u of texas

some ppl confuse uw with u washington but this is lot less common

[hot rapids]

UW gets confused with uwash too

But if you say Waterloo they instantly know

[wind badger]

tho i'll say uoft is pretty well known for grad abroad

[dense crown]

what's the ubc job board like

[dense crown]

yea fs

[wind badger]

easily

[dense crown]

uoft got huge ai and cs theory reputation

[wind badger]

literal godfather of ai won nobel prize uoft alum

[dense crown]

yea

also got open ai cofounder ilya

and cohere founder

[wind badger]

my ML prof was head of google deep mind toronto

he made gemini image processing model

[dense crown]

also got sanja fidler vp of ai at nvidia

[wind badger]

its p crazy

[dense crown]

damn wth

what prof?

[wind badger]

he came to lec one day and was like "did you guys hear hte news with gemini? i made that 😄 "

did you just put Queen before McGill lol

I feel like Western Alberta McGill prob > Queens

😔

Mcmaster too

[unborn saffron]

if its not waterloo it doesnt matter 💔

[dense crown]

whats up with the massive gap between carleton and uottawa lol

[dense crown]

[viral tree]

[fluid drum]

it’s quite clear if you read any academic research on canadian school cs programs

[vital girder]

I heard Queens Computing is pretty good

[orchid crag]

as a Queens student 😔 I don't know I feel like it's getting worse

[vital girder]

Oh lol, do you guys have a co-op program?

[orchid crag]

haha.

[reef stone]

I thought this too

[orchid crag]

the answer is no 😔

[fluid drum]

[safe light]

Massive cope

😂

[viral gorge]

what program?

shopify hires directly from sheridan, chilling

[tough knot]

ubc is ass

[wind badger]

i think the biggest issue is how carleton is #4

and mcgill isn't

[swift kernel]

ubc goated

[wind badger]

ok but if u wanna do anything else you're just as low as the others

no i mean

other than the dev degree what else does it have to offer

if you're in CS

[analog current]

carleton curriculum lowkey decent

they def punch above their weight

ion even go there but i can tell

kinda like how concordia punches above their weight

going to low prestige school builds character

u feel me

https://tenor.com/view/guy-arguing-guy-talking-to-wall-talking-brick-wall-gif-18667615

[wind badger]

no i def understand

[crystal comet]

no it isn't lmao

[plain mortar]

I’ve heard 99% of Carleton students have FAANG I think ur wrong

Carleton prepares students for the real world and every coop student got a faang job??

[analog current]

relative to my clown college anw

yall got some cool courses

ik u dont got the loo curriculum

but even loo ppl complain so

[crystal comet]

holy...

[daring slate]

Where’s this stat from 😂

I went to Carleton. I’m still jobless

[plain mortar]

It’s ok to be the skill gapped 1%

[daring slate]

Lmaoo sure

[plain mortar]

💔💔

Everyone else has faang I think

No they do??

They do.

Their coop board explicitly is like faang pipeline

[plain mortar]

Exactly, Carleton is super cracked. Wish I was a student there, maybe I’d have FAANG ://

[brave scroll]

Anyone working FT at Autodesk?

[crystal citrus]

You can always try to transfer, but good luck it’s pretty tough getting in

[nocturne hedge]

Carleton is the real MIT of the North

[plain mortar]

What’s the minimum requirements? Will a 2.3 GPA be enough

[crystal citrus]

I got rejected with a 2.8 so unfortunately no

[plain mortar]

Damm… so I’m never gonna get faang? Idk if getting faang without Carleton is possible…

[fluid drum]

how about rbc

[weary slate]

Anyone who has done geotab final? (2 hour no LC technical)

[brave scroll]

Whoever replied with “dm” can you pls dm me lol

[plain mortar]

RFAANG

[eager sable]

Getting a faang job no experience with 2.3 is already 💀

Also don’t let yourself be defined by your school frl

[plain mortar]

I’ve heard it’s possible if you’re a Carleton student

Carleton has a crazy faang pipeline

[plain mortar]

I’ve heard he personally recruits Carleton students

Carleton is just that cracked

[eager sable]

Are you a walking ad from Carleton what’s your deal 😭

[brisk gate]

faang is rng

this person is coping

[plain mortar]

No Carleton is cracked af

Carleton FAANG pipeline is real?

[idle cobalt]

Does any one have good resoruces for system design ?

I have onsite coming up for robinhood

[twilit osprey]

anyone interviewed at telesat?

[oblique bone]

There’s a good reason for this

Prev exp means higher chance of FAANG

Carleton/Ottawa pipelines into multiple Ottawa companies esp for your first few internships

More internships then proceed to higher chance of FAANG

It’s lowkey slept on imo

Cisco, IBM, Shopify are all in Ottawa

[eager sable]

shopify is in quebec too W

[oblique bone]

Idk mans prestige chase too much

Gets too their head

[plain mortar]

There are also cracked companies such as Ajile Light industries and Lim Geomatics. The smartest Carleton students I know worked there

[oblique bone]

You gotta be unemployed to troll this hard lmao

[plain mortar]

💔💔

It’s cause ppl kept taking it seriously

I can’t resist

I’ve been stuck on the Via rail all day i needed entertainment 💔💔

[hot rapids]

Canada has the best rage baiters

cuz 996 wont cut it no more

[safe light]

i wish i could 007 tbh

my body too weak

now all these young fresh hires gonna beat me for jobs

:(

[safe light]

firstly

you need a better format

wtf is this

u have 7 bullet points

which is crazy

[analog current]

avg brock outcome

[safe light]

, gojo company what is this?

[analog current]

when u anonymize atleast indicate if noname or notable company, makes big diff in how recruiters perceive

[safe light]

tbh ur experience for the first job is actually good

[empty beacon]

its from r/engineeringresume dawg lol

[safe light]

its really not good

https://thetechresume.com/

read this book

reddit is often unemployed people giving advice to other unemployed people

[empty beacon]

I thought jakes template was the go to template for us

[safe light]

read the chapters in thisbook about making a solid junior resume

and how to phrase things

and follow their templates

it's by a hiring manager that's been doing it for 10 years

the list ofreviews is solidtoo

[empty beacon]

loll I know ppl from Brock working at faang since their 2nd/3rd coop. Its not that bad

[safe light]

to give you some actionable advice

u need two resumes

1 for backend

1 for frotnend

the problem rn is ur fullstack experience

most jobs hire for one or the other

if you apply with ur resume ur not gonna get considered for backend jobs cuz other candidates will seem more backend than u

and u won't be consdiered for FE jobs cuz people wantsomeone full frotnend

ur in a difficult position cuz 2 YOE is too little for SDE but too much for SDE1

so u wanna target early career roles

[empty beacon]

thanks man but its $20 and Me broke atm

[empty beacon]

so three resumes. Full/Front and backend

[safe light]

dm'ed u the copy i bought

pdf

just read the book chapters on junior resumes

[empty beacon]

I barely see any roles that is focused on backend only. Vast majority want a dev with full stack exp. I could be wrong so please correct me

[safe light]

wat

literally every role is backend only

[empty beacon]

youre goated bro

[safe light]

well i have filters on my roles so that maybe why

[empty beacon]

appreciated

[safe light]

but i got interviews with a lot of companies for backend only

[safe light]

i think for smaller companies fullstack is more there

networking a lot will help u too

i knew people who did bootcamps that got jobs just networking in tech meetup events

but yea it's rough

also make sure to LC

worst is u get an interview and u fail it

[empty beacon]

true I am doing one neetcode a day

[fluid drum]

can we still get rbc new grad?

[analog current]

actual good advice in this server holy

orz orz orz

[fluid drum]

the only thing is if you do 996 but still don’t get ro and someone hardly working does because they like them more 💔

would be heartbreaking

[real storm]

early career are so far and few between

this is such a pain to find lol

[safe light]

Based

[safe light]

yes

lol

[fallen mason]

wait rly

some people say its gonna be fine

some people say its not

[wind badger]

What’s the point of worrying you have to send the transcript to them anyways

They rescind then they rescind

[severe arrow]

can i get this too

[safe light]

ur only path forward is prayer to Elon / Grok for forgiveness

[fallen mason]

im sending transcript to the visa ppl

the background check said they were gonna check educational documents but idk if they can even access my transcript

[severe arrow]

did you lie about gpa on resume?

[fallen mason]

i didn't put it on my resume

[severe arrow]

ok ur fine then

they prob want to check if you're acc in school

[fallen mason]

oh

makes sense cuz they already made me sign the offer letter

[severe arrow]

yeah it's only an issue if you lied about it

[fallen mason]

thats what they said

[severe arrow]

they want to make sure you're acc in school and you are who you say you are i.e not committing fraud

[safe light]

why tesla though

if u can get into tesla aren't there better options? they are crashing hard in stocks

[fallen mason]

not really lol this was my first big tech interview

[safe light]

intern?

[fallen mason]

yeah

[safe light]

oh cool cool

[brisk gate]

keep in mind engresumes is for all types of engineering

and they also say you can switch things around in the wiki

i think the format from engresumes isnt bad at all

it can be similar to jakes and at that point its more about the content rather than the formatting

[fluid drum]

what resume for rbc

[shadow lake]

Could I get one too lol

[brisk gate]

lmao same^

can i get one too sir 🥺

[swift kernel]

6 seconds might be generous honestly

not even trolling i feel like its down to 1-2 atp

cant really spend 6 seconds on a resume when u got like 1000 resumes to go through

for a single posting

[reef stone]

Getting big name companies is the only thing that matters

[fluid drum]

maybe no one actually goes through the resumes manually

[safe light]

Another day

Another dollar

For Canada chat

[daring slate]

Can I please get a copy of the resume too

[hidden cypress]

no

[fast parrot]

Does anyone know if its possible to reduce a 8month coop to 4 months at RBC?

[dense crown]

ive heard in the past theyve made exceptions for loo coop students

not sure if they still do

[fast parrot]

would there be anything better than rbc in winter that’s not US. I’m tryna maximize company prestige for the resume

[wind badger]

is rbc actually prestigious or are ppl trolling

don't they pay like piss

[fast parrot]

Im tryna figure that out like what’s better

[wind badger]

any big tech in canada

imo

but im not aware of rbc prestige

[fast parrot]

💀there’s barely any big tech in Canada, I’m p sure Shopify doesn’t post for winter

[dense crown]

ig depends on ur role/team but in general ive heard its usually ~25-27/hr

[wind badger]

a lot of companies have offices in canada

[fast parrot]

I’m getting 30

[wind badger]

lots of firmware, embedded, some faang, big tech, fintech

[fast parrot]

Yea but they don’t usually post for winter tho no?

[dense crown]

they do

[wind badger]

idk bout that

[dense crown]

shop hires all year

[wind badger]

yeah they do

[dense crown]

this year they had 250 headcount for winter interns

[fast parrot]

I swear last year they didn’t I guess I’m mistaken

[dense crown]

maybe last year they didnt

this year they are tryna take in all the loo coop students 💀

[fast parrot]

Yea it’s crazy such glazers 💀

[wind badger]

ive only gotten processes from US recruiters

even though i don't even have US visa

for some reason Canada hates me

its not like im applying to more US positions either

[fast parrot]

How many prev internships?

[wind badger]

2

[dense crown]

toronto stripe swe internship probably the most prestigious thing in canada ngl

[fast parrot]

I see imma have 2 after rbc so should I be targeting us then?

[wind badger]

maybe google

[wind badger]

idk it might be bc the company i worked for is very well known in america but no one knows them here

but it was a canadian part of the company

[fast parrot]

Ah I see

I mean rbc is recognized in us tho ?

[dense crown]

i dont think so

[wind badger]

idk just get any internships u can and apply

im just spitting conjecture

[fast parrot]

Eh guess I’ll try my luck

I’m on a fsae team so hopefully I can get Tesla or smthing

[wind badger]

before the US burns

🙏

[fast parrot]

[wind badger]

it'd be rly funny if trump fucks america so bad they all move their offices to canada 🤣

[dense crown]

tesla hires lot of interns from canada surprisingly

[wind badger]

yea

[dense crown]

and then proceed to canadian taxes 💀

[fast parrot]

Yea no way Canadian taxes are too garbage for big corpo

[wind badger]

what other country would be better though

[dense crown]

i mean theres not many big tech offices in canada

[wind badger]

theoretically

[dense crown]

true

[wind badger]

like if u want low taxes go to middle east

but all the talent in NA

[fast parrot]

Do referrals matter for Meta internships?

[dense crown]

ive heard generally not

lot of luck involved in general tho

doesn't hurt to have one i suppose

[celest granite]

having a job in Canada is pretty prestigious in my opinion

[safe light]

Canada is gonna be the richest country in the world imo
