BRO

💀

[brisk gate]

they asked for OFFICIAL transcript

[dense crown]

man wtf

[wind badger]

yeah

[brisk gate]

thats wild

[dense crown]

bro sorry to hear that

[wind badger]

and they made me pay even tho i already told them

my gpa is too low

they ghosted me after i said that

[dense crown]

nah veeva can fuck off bro thats so petty

[wind badger]

then rejected me 5 min after i sent the official one

and cancelled my final interviews 1 hour before

[brisk gate]

my school doesnt even use gpa scale

😭

they just do percentages

[wind badger]

idc veeva can fuck themselves but im looking for job

[brisk gate]

same bro

nobody wants me frfr

[dense crown]

lot of yc/bay area startups wanna hire loo graduates

[brisk gate]

so ive heard

im a dirty eng*neer tho

[crystal comet]

shopify would amputate a limb if it meant getting an upper year loo engineer

[brisk gate]

they accept new grads for shop as well

i got perfect on oa

[crystal comet]

yeah

[brisk gate]

no response

[crystal comet]

rly

wtf

rip

[brisk gate]

i even cold outreached to recruiters

[dense crown]

i thought most companies dont even care abt the specific program as long as its loo 💀 like i see mgmt and biomed eng ppl getting faang jobs

[brisk gate]

LMAO

mgmt is wild

[dense crown]

real

[dense crown]

same 😔

shop ghosted me

[brisk gate]

like am i secretly blacklisted or what 😭

[dense crown]

they r a cult lowkey

fake engineering program

[brisk gate]

system design engineers

or whatever is called

is like so generalist

that program is kinda weird too

[dense crown]

do you think you would've been in a better spot had you been in loo cs over comp eng

[dense crown]

yea i agree

systems design engineering

its like lot of breadth but no depth

[swift kernel]

u know the answer to this

[brisk gate]

yes and no

i hate maths (proofs and shit)

[dense crown]

i dont think many companies even care abt the diff between the two

for swe at least

[dense crown]

fair

[brisk gate]

but eng is just not good for your mental

[dense crown]

i think higher gpa is easier to get in cs tho

compared to engineering

[brisk gate]

eng at waterloo is like being a 3rd class citizen

cs is 1st class

actually wild

[dense crown]

😭

whats 2nd

[brisk gate]

you cant take cs courses until 2 weeks into the semester as an eng

but cs students can just sign up for eng courses

[dense crown]

do the ce ppl even go into hardware 💀

i swear i only see them going into swe jobs (mostly backend)

at least for waterloo

[brisk gate]

backend is most plentiful

embedded is non existant in comparison

[brisk gate]

ehh

kinda?

like we had a "prototyping" course where we design circruits and pcbs

lot of calc stuff in general

fpga / hardware language stuff

[dense crown]

i see

[valid sigil]

actually diabolical on their end

[hot vessel]

that's why we have software engineering (shouldn't be a thing in the first place)

[orchid crag]

so real

[brisk gate]

swe is pretty broad so computer engineering people going to swe makes sense

going to hardware is more of a EE thing

[empty beacon]

I am not trynna be doom and gloom so please dont ban me mods

But is anyone hiring in canada at all?

Are its just all ghost posting?

[grave quest]

they are, just not us

[plain mortar]

I’ve heard most companies only are hiring Carleton students

No luck for any other school

[safe light]

Seriously ?

Fuck

[plain mortar]

Yeah it’s tough out here

Carleton mogs

[fluid drum]

the paradox of employment.. offices are filled with ppl, yet no one is employed

[marsh thorn]

wait, they already gave interviews?

😭

bruh I even got a referral for a job posting there (although it might have been a little later)

is it for fall?

[wind badger]

HAHAHAHA 2 WEEKS AGO

despair

[marsh thorn]

omg

I'm so blind

mb

[vital girder]

Ontario Tech --> Meta, crazy

Just saw it on LinkedIn, guy put in the work, 493 LC questions solved

[safe light]

But school matters bro!!!

If you don’t go to Waterloo you’ll never make it to FAANG!!!!

[swift kernel]

the chosen one

[swift kernel]

i think u meant carleton

[vital girder]

Well, this guy is probably 0.001% of people in CS who landed this at Ontario Tech, vs 30-40% of Waterloo students

But yes, it's possible if you put in the work, and also get really lucky

[cinder coral]

school prob only matters for your first internship, it matters less the more experience you have

[swift kernel]

also not true tbh, it carries on throughout life

[cinder coral]

mehh if you have fanng then no one cares about your school

meh ok

[swift kernel]

true that it doesnt matter as long as u can land something

[crystal citrus]

I havent landed faang is it over for me?

[karmic otter]

I think it depends on who you ask it's not a written rule anywhere that says school matters

[karmic otter]

The more experience you get, the less relevant it becomes. But better schools open more opportunity faster so yeah all else the same, there's an advantage. If you wanted to say it "carried throughout life" in that way its true

[brisk gate]

school will always matter in some context, there is almost no denying that

the issue with faang is that its super rng in the first place

but to deny uwaterloo students have an advantage or to say school doesnt matter in some way are both cope

id reckon its easier to land amazon as a uoft or ubc student than uw

just cause amazon offices are located in vancouver and toronto and pretty sure there were statistics in the past indicating that

same with uw + google (think mcgill had decent amount of google employees there not too sure)

carleton + shop

obv things may have changed or shifted over time

[karmic otter]

Yea i agree and also recently these intern and new grad pipelines are more relevant for getting into big companies i think. I do think still that the general rule of more exp makes school matter less will always be true

[brisk gate]

ye for sure

[karmic otter]

At least for the first big opportunities in your career

[brisk gate]

honestly even for smaller companies too school + location matters

[cinder coral]

good schools open doors for you

the rest is on your own

[brisk gate]

i graduated from uw but im trying to get anyjob

for example, been applying to ciena in ottawa with referral + personal connections

and they still dont want me 💀

i think they glaze that carleton + RO too much

[cinder coral]

thats true, ottawa sticks to carleton

i interviewed for BoC and my connection said they hired someone bc their dad works there

[karmic otter]

Yea that's mainly what I was trying to explain. Also I'm sure reputation plays a factor in many recruiters heads but if you throw out a better resume because of a mid tier school I think that is just dumb lol. But we live in a dumb world

[brisk gate]

yea like i got a referral to a boomer tech company (from parents) and the person there said something along the lines: "why would a waterloo grad want to stay in ottawa"

nobody wants me frfr

[cinder coral]

cuz i have no job DUH

[brisk gate]

😭

[karmic otter]

This type of thing is so dumb because its like vacuously true that ur interested cus you applied lol

[brisk gate]

yea like bro

ill take any job

thats swe

(probably not witch jobs 💀 )

[karmic otter]

U even got to the interview stage and they still asked that lol

💀

[cinder coral]

LMAO RIGHT i saw this reddit comment, they applied to pinterest and got rejected cuz they applied to too many pos 💀

[brisk gate]

i also hate location bias

i got a reachout for EA for a really cool position

i literally told them i dont need relocation assistance

got past recruiter screen

didnt get picked for interview since im not local

like bro

[cinder coral]

sad

[brisk gate]

im going to jump

[karmic otter]

😭

[cinder coral]

i think at some point they want to prevent you from reclining their offer bc of commuting but bro wtf

[brisk gate]

yea i heard EA resume screen is super rng + extensive

so i was super excited to get a reachout

only to get cucked for months on end

[brisk gate]

bro they paid like 100k+ and stock

in burnaby

thats pretty insane for canada

obv not faang or other similar paying tech companies

but still very very nice

sadge

[karmic otter]

Honestly because of my school I feel like I'm locked to my location at least in the beginning. I feel like the relocation thing does actually involve that level of trust and from lesser schools they just don't grant that

I almost don't even bother applying to van, im in toronto

[brisk gate]

mine was purely based off where i lived

cause EA vancouver does seem to hire waterloo pretty often

like 3/4th largest amount of grads

[cinder coral]

how they know where you live tho

[brisk gate]

the more common ones are local unis (like ubc sfu etc)

[brisk gate]

its in the application and they confirm with you on recruiter call

[karmic otter]

Ye that's kind of what i mean

[cinder coral]

damn no one has ever checked where i live 😭

also i dont live in toronto, i live in gta but in all my app i say i live in toronto

unless they want full address

[brisk gate]

i mean

[cinder coral]

and sometimes i make one up

[brisk gate]

same thing really

at some point in time waterloo will become part of the gta

[cinder coral]

lmaoooo

[brisk gate]

then some point vancouver will be part of the gta

[brisk gate]

van does not seem to hire alot in the first place

they arent really growing

[karmic otter]

I do that, but maybe I was thinking I put the municipality so for the local companies its like "omg he rlly is where he says he is" 💀

[brisk gate]

despite being the 3rd largest city in canada

[karmic otter]

I mean it's rlly do live in Toronto but

[cinder coral]

LMAO

[karmic otter]

All of canada:

[brisk gate]

true

[karmic otter]

But yea it feels super dead rn

[brisk gate]

bro ottawas tech sector feels way bigger than vancouver

💀

[karmic otter]

Bruh it does

I see way more intern postings

[brisk gate]

vancouver does have good amount of intern postings

[karmic otter]

From companies of mostly small to mid size but still

[brisk gate]

just no new grads

[karmic otter]

That would be cool w me

[karmic otter]

Oh yea ng is absolutely

Cooked

Idk im an optimistic guy but it rlly can't go on like this 😭

I hope everything works out for us 🙏

[brisk gate]

Got apple 4 technicals next week

If I fail, there really is no hope for me anymore

Might as well start putting the fries in the bag

[karmic otter]

Ngl man, I have seen you around in a lot of the servers, and my take is u are just severely unlucky

From every thing I see

[brisk gate]

Yea all my processes have been a shit show

Dunno if you seen me talk about it in the tcn server recently

[karmic otter]

I may or may not have 💀
But I seen u get a lot of processes that just don't lead anywhere

[brisk gate]

Collecting all the faang processes with the shittiest recruitment timelines like the infinity stones

[karmic otter]

They just get scared of ur aura bro just turn it down a notch

Ur power lvl over 9000!!!

[brisk gate]

Farming so much negative aura it's about to be positive once I land an offer

Aight imma head to bed. Gotta lock in hard for next week

Gn bro

[karmic otter]

[cinder coral]

gl buddy

[weary slate]

Anyone who has done geotab final panel interview? (FT)

[swift kernel]

idk abt faang faang but not true for faang adjacent

[empty beacon]

I know four ppl who graduated with me from BROCK got their coop and full time at FAANG. Only thing that loo has a leg up compared to other unis is FAANG recruiting from there.

[brisk gate]

naw depends on the faang

google and apple may have a slight advantage for uw (maybe meta too)

amazon is just pure rng

netflix is mostly american schools i think

[dense crown]

meta for sure there is an advantage

they exclusively hire waterloo for off szn internships

[brisk gate]

i wasnt sure about that one so i said maybe

[dense crown]

i think there is a pretty substantial avantage for google and apple as well (but it might also just be a survivorship bias type of thing since the uw cohort is generally very cracked)

[dense crown]

they r hiring from basically everywhere this year from what i've noticed

mostly from uoft ubc

[brisk gate]

historically theyve been hiring mostly from uoft + ubc

at least on canada side

and schools in the general GTA + vancouver metropolitan area

other than that, school prestige doesnt matter (or at least it doesnt seem to matter)

[dense crown]

yea

i agree

[brisk gate]

i think thats been the case for a while now

[fluid harness]

borealis vs thescore

score pays more

[celest granite]

try this to see if you are cracked. it got my life experience correct.: https://www.usedash.ai/cracked

[midnight oxide]

Do u guys think Oracle (Waterloo) or Wealthsimple for software dev intern?

[plush spoke]

U got offers from both? 🔥

[midnight oxide]

No haha

Just oracle but in proc for ws

[safe light]

bth abut the same tbh

[zenith star]

Wealthsimple prob better

[safe light]

Real advice though

Oracle has better resume value outside of Canada

You will learn more at WS

it’s a trade off

IMO just apply and join Amazon instead

It’s shit but has better resume value than both

[midnight oxide]

Haha I would if I could

I’d def do zon if i could pull that

[safe light]

Just apply 99% chance you’ll hear back

[midnight oxide]

Idts I alr applied for fall and didn’t hear back

[safe light]

[midnight oxide]

Nah I got 3 prev lol

Congrats on offer

[safe light]

Why

My first internship was unpaid

[broken whale]

Didn’t even get the interview yet lol

[leaden gulch]

Because some people can't afford to do intern

Otherwise

[wind badger]

also its a massive risk of exploitation

not saying all of them are, but lots of scummy entities offer "unpaid internships"

also u should just be paid for ur work man, even if its min wage

yo will u invite me onto ur yacht

maybe for getting employment

Aren’t unpaid internships illegal in Canada, anyway?

But i guess a lot ppl are buying/selling jobs here anyways

[crystal citrus]

Buying jobs??

What the fuckle

ik in india some ppl pay to intern just to get exp on their resume

and we not that far off so

[severe arrow]

I’ve seen some pay to work stuff they exist

Google hires one Canadian in the USA and in exchange gets to hire one foreigner in Canada

But the govt killed the LMIA points so it’s useless

[brisk gate]

Did you write it? What questions did you see? And any tips on getting through all questions in the allocated time

[viral forge]

What should u expect for uber OA

[fluid hound]

two two's my word croski

[fluid hound]

uber dess styll

[ocean mountain]

is the uber OA for interns? new grad? or mid level?

[lethal sinew]

newgrad

[celest granite]

where is the job posting for Uber new grad?

[rare dirge]

Closed already

[celest granite]

anyone get the make array decreasing or increasing by incrementing by 1 for question 4 in uber oa? Trying to find the leetcode most similar to it.

[thick sinew]

Gone

[mossy drift]

I finished the uber OA. It was a time crunch. Got 1000/1200. was stuck on the 2nd question and not all test cases passed.

[last birch]

is this correct?

it says June 20th 12PM PT

but on codesignal its 4am

[mossy drift]

You have till 3PM ET or 12PM PT to finish

[last birch]

ahh so rn

lOL

welp time to get started

[mossy drift]

I won’t trust the code signal. That’s just when the link expires. You gotta follow Ubers time.

[dreamy patio]

Which app??

[dreamy patio]

Whrn was it posted??

[crystal citrus]

https://tenor.com/view/week-ago-bobby-shmurda-shmurda-gif-9976108120157541350

[dreamy patio]

Ok

Fck i missed that

[brisk gate]

i got 30th 12PM PDT on email but codesignal was like july 2nd something

i just did it last night

aint gonna risk it (even though ill probably not get interview just like last year )

😭

[brisk gate]

1200?

what position

only gotten 600 max score

i didnt even know it went any higher

(like for uber gca)

[celest granite]

I think he means the 300 points per question they had. 300*4=1200.

[mossy drift]

I cannot view my GCA score. When I go to code signal, it just states that I completed my assessment.

Oh I see. Thanks

[winged rampart]

Anyone do team day interview with Veeva

[mystic junco]

has anyone heard back from robinhood canada

[snow rapids]

is it an extension of this? https://leetcode.com/problems/minimum-operations-to-make-the-array-increasing/

[celest granite]

ya similar ish. it had to be either increasing or decreasing by 1 each element. so 5,6,7,8,9 or 9,8,7,6,5. so essentially keep adding ones until you get there.

[fading nest]

just got recruiter phone today

isnt this late as fuck

[snow rapids]

Ok if you are limited to adding +1, I guess you can create a helper function to solve the subproblem for increasing case using the original input array (Like in the leetcode link).

Then for the decreasing case you could call the helper function on the reversed version of the input array (Making the reversed array increasing is like making the original array decreasing).

Then I assume return the min number corresponding to the case that used the least steps.

[orchid crag]

Nepotism

[solid flame]

that should be enough ngl

just spam applying

and try getting referrals

[solid flame]

easy or behavioural

[vale solstice]

I feel as if canadian banks are the hardest to get into. Even more than faang. In all my 5 years of applying I could never get an interview.

[barren galleon]

Anyone have experience with IBM interviews?

[brisk gate]

faang = rng

banks = nepo (allegedly)

[brisk gate]

also fairly certain faang as a whole hire way more than canadian banks, like multitudes more

[vale solstice]

Yeah but they're so much harder to pass. Even when I had just finished my 16 month internship and applied to the banks, I just got straight rejected.

[brisk gate]

yea

[vale solstice]

Oh and worst of all when I was new grad hunting I got rejected from the bank my mom works at.

[brisk gate]

rejected with nepo

[vale solstice]

I applied like 30 times with a referral and they wouldn't even interview me

RBC > citadel/Jane street > big tech > f500

[brisk gate]

your mom work on the tech side of things?

[vale solstice]

No on accounting side

[brisk gate]

probably why id reckon

ciena also is super nepo

and they really like their carleton students

[vale solstice]

So regular nepo won't even work huh

Need nepo premium

[brisk gate]

i cant get an interview at ciena despite having referral who wrote even wrote like a summary of me on my behalf

carleton > waterloo (real)

[vale solstice]

Wild

The bank did give me an oa tho once

2 easies and a bit manipulation medium

I guarantee their current employees couldn't solve that shit if gpt couldn't

[soft hamlet]

Which bank

Pretty much all of them give standard gca

[soft hamlet]

They're pretty easy to get into, they hire everyone in existence

So many Waterloo kids use it as their first, half of all internshave no exp ever

[crystal hornet]

anyone here back from intuit for fall co-op?

[vale solstice]

I don't wanna dox lol

[vale solstice]

Then why not me bruh 😔

[soft hamlet]

Meet them at a conference and it's ggs

That's the easiest way to get through

[hardy trench]

what conferences?

[eternal fossil]

goddamn this guy clocking in with a perfect OA score

[honest tulip]

has anyone heard back from uber 2025 newgrad canada

[eternal fossil]

my fourth was not optimal

534/600

im cooked after seeing your score

[brisk gate]

did you get the mountain peak one?

[eternal fossil]

no i got the swapping digits in an array one

[brisk gate]

still no interview tho

how about q3?

i got some text justification one

[eternal fossil]

q3 was popping balloons

[brisk gate]

WHAT

[eternal fossil]

just a lot of code for that one

grid question

typical bfs question tbh

[brisk gate]

oh okay

thank god

i thought it was the mcm one

matrix chain multiplication

[eternal fossil]

that wouldve been baby food

[brisk gate]

i still dont know how to do that

and i dont think i ever will

i just dont want to touch it

LMAO

[eternal fossil]

yeah absolutely not

i realized the trick to q4 too late in the time

5 mins left thats when i realized i could do something

but by that time it was over

also is your score approved yet or no

[brisk gate]

no

i did mine like 2am the day before it was due

it was 12pm PDT on email iirc

[eternal fossil]

still under pending

[brisk gate]

ye

[honest tulip]

mine just moved to completed

not completed, under resulst

[karmic otter]

Well someone just mentioned matrix chain which would fit that bill...

If its true they give that for an oa that's just rough

Not looking forward to new grad lol

Well in this case matrix chain is dp

If im thinking of the same thing

[tropic ridge]

1D or 2D?

[karmic otter]

Ive never seen that on leetcode but I learned it in class lol

[tropic ridge]

aw hell naw

am I crazy?

Because when I get rejected on my job applications (that I didn't get an interview for)

I actually get happy

[fallen mason]

Should you focus on readability for resume, or trying to fit in as many words / buzzwords as possible?

[wind badger]

i think its normal

we teach ourselves subconsciously that job processes are extremely stressful so i think its fine to feel relief

[terse ibex]

has anyone got proc for 1pass for fall

they just rolling out rejections

[marsh thorn]

I applied to all jobs

[wispy obsidian]

[orchid crag]

1pass was for fall

tahts why

[marsh thorn]

so what do you believe was what made you get the position at RBC?

[orchid crag]

a web app that has actual users

[marsh thorn]

was it that startup with wagami?

[lusty ember]

Sorry late reply. Not in the Toronto team but am in the Markham one. First interview was with HR just shooting the shit and going over the resume. Second interview was with my manager which was half ML theory (general statistics, modelling questions) and a leetcode medium. Heard back 2 hours later for the job, but heard it takes longer for most and I was just a late hire. Best of luck!

[snow rapids]

Did anyone do recruitment agencies before for early career stuff

[graceful dove]

I have online assessment for SDE I for Amazon, what are the questions (Hackerrrank) ?

[crystal hornet]

anyone who applied to Intuit Software Eng co-op hear back yet?

[wind notch]

Are you new grad? You have any exp?

[mossy drift]

I think the biggest challenge for Amazon OA is not the coding part, but the workplace simulation and those leadership principles question. Back in September 2024, I got perfect on the coding questions but still did not get an interview.

[graceful dove]

I did it yesterday, and the coding part was brutal yet i was so close. New form of torture...

[graceful dove]

Im graduating soon, in my 3rd internship right now

[deft basin]

It felt good but

It’s kinda impossible to tell when it’s behavioural

It was with some staff Eng on the team

[surreal owl]

yeah i felt the same way, ive done an int with 1pass in the past and it feels so rng

the recruiter then tells u ur top x candidates and baits u

[deft basin]

Gg

[deft basin]

How long did it take for u to hear back then

[worldly ivy]

Thanks a lot
Do you have any idea what position did they interview for?

[viral tree]

some swe intern

[surreal owl]

it was like a 1.5 weeks last time

[deft basin]

Kk

And when did u get the bait email

[worldly ivy]

Ohh thanks a lot it was reallly helpfull

I am interviewing for Cloud RAN Integration Co-Op

[surreal owl]

a week later

[viral tree]

oh nice, i applied for that one too, do you mind me asking what you think they liked about your resume?

[worldly ivy]

I guess my projects on devops + networking not sure though

[deft basin]

Hmm kk

Rej 3 days after bait email is kinda crazy tbh

[solid flame]

inshallah

[strong berry]

Ottawa? is it fully onsite?

[viral tree]

idk perhaps

[plain mortar]

That email just means they’ve given offer to someone else who interviewed but you’re in the queue if that person doesn’t accept it

[lusty ember]

Did like 2 interviews for them for Cloud-RAN and swd. Cloud RAN was behavioural and if I knew LLM integration techs. swd was a waste of time asking what a linked list was vs arrays (for a 3rd year, 12 month coop btw)

The interviewer for Cloud-RAN was hinting to do a bunch of designing for the proposal of the system and then to send it to her after the interview, but by that time I already had a job lined up so idgaf

[worldly ivy]

I am interviewing for Cloud-RAN
Did u have 2 rounds for this position?

I have a 30 min interview next week

[lusty ember]

cloud ran was 1 but I might've been fast-tracked from the interview for swd

[deft basin]

thats kinda fucked up no 😭

gg

[fast parrot]

fellow mac I got rbc this fall cold apply. For rbc i think u need 1 prev internship + a oa score > 500 (i had 560/600 codesignal)

[worldly ivy]

Thanks a lot 🙏🏻

[fast parrot]

u might be able to get it with 0 prev experience if ur resumes good and get a good score on the oa

like my 1 internship was really just "Incoming swe intern @ company" since i didnt really start yet when I applied (april 30)

thanks gl 2 u this cycle

[unborn saffron]

i had 0 exp and 450 on oa

[unborn saffron]

yes

iirc it was 4 questions - an easy, easy/medium, medium, hard

[rare shuttle]

xqcl

[deft basin]

In first year I had 0 exp and 400 smtg on the oa

And I got interview

Second year had 2 internships 600/600 on oa

No interview

[orchid crag]

Yes, OR you get a referral. Even if your OA score is 300 you might get in💀

[soft swallow]

Did anyone get amazon NG OA

[broken whale]

Literally the entire server lol

Any one get the offer

[wind notch]

When did yall apply? Last yr?

[lucid berry]

you guys think moving to the USA is still a good move?

had an offer for the US but not sure if i made the right decision lol

[wind badger]

yeah just be at peace with the fact you might be going back to canada soon but at least you got some good experience

not saying you will be deported but things in the US r happening right now that we thought were unimaginable a few months ago

so it could be possible

[lucid berry]

well it would have been a quality of life downgrade from my current job if i took that usa job

but i couldve lived in nyc

[wind badger]

r you in toronto rn?

[lucid berry]

Montreal

[wind badger]

hm

is the job in the US better for your resume than the one here?

[lucid berry]

no, it would be a lateral move in terms of name

maybe the exp would be better

but i wouldnt know lol

[wind badger]

guess it just comes down to if you like nyc enough

[lucid berry]

i guess so

[rare shuttle]

anyone heard of bluecat networks? got a phone screen with them

Wdym? As long as you get the visa I think you're good no? They just deporting illegals.

[analog current]

Anyone interviewed with Alithya before?

[wind notch]

Honestly I used to see USA as a big tech dream but Canada doesnt seem so bad after all .. I'd rather settle here

[wind badger]

they're also deporting non illegals

rare but its happening

also it changed so quickly, it can change even quicker

also better not to be in such a corrupt country rn if it doesn't give you any benefit imo

nah grandpa

hence the video u posted

[safe light]

@eternal fossil why laugh

its true

uk is higher lol

[inland moss]

https://tomazweiss.github.io/blog/so_2023_compensation/

I am very sure Canada is higher salary and lower taxes than UK

Step 2: Tax on average wages, Canada vs. UK. According to the OECD, as a percentage of GDP total tax take in Canada is just over 33% while in the UK it is more than 35%

Difference is not big and I think Ireland makes more tho

[azure spire]

are both countries bimodal in distribution

[zinc knot]

Something even better to know is that US is also higher salaries and lower taxes than Canada!

[severe arrow]

meh taxes are the same, just higher salary nominally, better currency and better purchasing power

[inland moss]

Even California has lower taxes than Ontario

Of course, in the US you don’t get anything back from the taxes

[severe arrow]

depends at the top rate it's like 1% more

depends on income

[inland moss]

No, US taxes are just lower across the board even for Cali

[severe arrow]

ummm no it's not lol

top end marginal tax rate in ontario is 53% in Cali its 52%

[severe arrow]

using chatgpt is wild

missing fica at 2.35%

[inland moss]

Canada payroll taxes are higher

And in the USD 108k - 158k band Canada is objectively way higher

[severe arrow]

I specificallly meant income

[inland moss]

Fica is a payroll tax?

[severe arrow]

yes comp is signficantly different

[severe arrow]

no

[inland moss]

It’s literally called federal insurance contributions act

[severe arrow]

payroll tax is cpp and ei

[inland moss]

It’s the same as EI/CPP

https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Federal_Insurance_Contributions_Act

[severe arrow]

ok i big dumb

regardless it's not that far off

2% is nothing

[inland moss]

https://thehub.ca/2024/07/08/canadas-marginal-tax-rates-are-much-higher-than-u-s-with-greater-increases-across-income-levels/

Anyways just looking at taxes out is not accurate either because you get something back in Canada, and you definitely get nothing in the US. Still it seems to me that the taxes in Canada are too high for the services we get nowadays

[severe arrow]

well heatlh care namely arguable hm it's worth nowadays

my argument is just the biggest difference is in salary and currency not taxes

just use a tax calculator the difference for $300k salary is $180k vs $190k take home

[severe arrow]

yeah most ppl in tech work in large metropolitan cities tho but you aren't wrong there
