The problem is that I have alot of meetings at my current job

statistically loo does have pretty decent interns at the very minimum

they're trying to reproduce all the good monorepo infras out there within git and graphite lol

statistically loo does have pretty decent interns at the very minimum

to be fair that goes to every company out there...

isnt graphite made by ex meta ppl

EA sports (van) is a good sign of uw representation

interns is not a significant portion of engineers lol
we are talking about career outcomes though, what's the point of interning without RO tbh

its ubc + sfu then coming in 3rd is uw
ubc and sfu cause theyre local to the city and EA really really really prioritizes locals

cracked people dont go to meta
(real)
the only person i know who interned at meta from my school went to hrt fulltime
wait no i know 2 people
the 2nd person i knew who interned at meta from my school went to google ft
safe light
like just comparing two random schools
For google
I checked for JS, it's 14 from waterloo and similar from UofT but less than McGill [but the class size is much smaller in McGill compared to waterloo]
brisk gate
yea i heard janestreet had a bunch of mcgill spots
brisk gate
For google
there were stats in the past, pretty sure google hired uwaterloo the most in the past
makes sense for mcgill to be 2nd
amazon favours uoft and ubc
safe light
Yeah
But like i went through a few quants and there is a similar pattern,
I think waterloo is a bigger school and a lot of their grads have very good outcomes which is good
brisk gate
uw is a small school tho
brisk gate
im seeing 300
safe light
im seeing 300
for just software engineering or all CS majors?
brisk gate
just cs, not cs adjacent
yea im seeing 350
except 2021
but we dont talk about 2021 
brisk gate
i hated what the school did that year
junior hazel
comp sci is like 3k alone
safe light
Yeah
safe light
they are admitting at least 1000 students a year or around that
in both CS and SE combined
this also doesn't include the students who failed to get into these programs so took math instead and still loooking for CS jobs
brisk gate
im seeing 500...?
not even 500
se class is very small at uw
im choosing 1st year students since thats exactly how many they admit
the higher the year count goes, the more students there are
brisk gate
(either from people delaying school or people transfering in)
safe light
so it's 3.5k/5
brisk gate
yea uw is pretty small school overall
safe light
so around 700 admits per year
safe light
yea uw is pretty small school overall
yeah but 700 admits per year is really big compared to other schools
safe light
like McGill is like mb 200

200-300

mcgill cs program 🥀

Yea not many
and a good chunck of them are more interested in like
grad school

or staying in quebec idk
brisk gate
yeah but 700 admits per year is really big compared to other schools
yea thats fair but i guess its cause uw is a one trick
cs, eng and cs and eng adjacent
brisk gate
or staying in quebec idk
mcgill is super good if you were a quebec resident or born there
your tuition is dirt cheap if thats the case
safe light
like openai has 30 from waterloo and 15 from McGill,
does that mean waterloo or McGill are better than each other? no the data doesn't show it.

No it’s not as significant, not all youth are seeking employment

Yeah but finding a job when it actually crashed was literally impossible
Now you can get a job in tech or whatever
But right when Covid crashed literally no one was hiring
Like no one could even go outside

I'm pretty sure hiring picked up drastically during lockdowns

Lock downs started end of 2019

but yeah peak covid it was bad
yeah all I'm saying is it could be worse than covid depends how long this goes for
doesn't seem like the market is getting better any time soon

but yeah peak covid it was bad
End of 2019, 2020 and 2021 was really bad for hiring
2022 was amazing and then the tech market crashed 2023 summer

I hope I'm wrong

doesn't seem like the market is getting better any time soon
For tech it’s getting much better compared to the 2023 crash
severe arrow
for big tech in the US it wasn't
safe light
Yeah in the USA but not Canada
Note that section 174 went into effective as well so there was massive layoffs that followed in Canada after 2019 and teams got moved
This didn’t just affect tech
Banking and other was affected
severe arrow
ok I'll cede that but unemployment rate is not specific to tech, lots of physical jobs were lost which had a bigger impact

safe light
Anyway congrats on ur offer
severe arrow
if not ask if there's any room to get close
viral forge
Thanks and no I didn’t get an offer from them 😂 I’m just wondering cause I just did final round
severe arrow
just don't go crazy ask for like $5k-$10k more max round up to nearest $10k if you can
SS&C might be really rigid tho so go for $5k
oh
severe arrow
