but im curious

silent folio
#

because some people from a different country are more qualified

carmine cloak
#

my concern was this

brisk gate
#

while true but many american companies still have to sponsor international students within the states

#

also what you said is increasingly true

#

places like zon for example

#

nobody canadian is interning at zon usa anymore (was not the case a couple years ago)

#

they are still sponsoring the internationals but you have to be from an american school

hardy trench
#

ah icic

#

i'm tryna get an american internship in my later years and all ik is that its insanely hard without knowing someone

unreal field
#

Plenty of waterloo zon interns are in Seattle

brisk gate
#

right now?

#

maybe, i did hear from ft that zon interns from canada cant do usa anymore

#

many of the intern postings i see now for zon for usa locations are usa schools only or thats they dont enforce it/make exceptions 💀 or they are return interns before the rule was made

#

could be anything tbh

drifting shore
brisk gate
#

ah okay that explains it then

#

shouldve worded what i said earlier a lil differently but the point is they arent accepting new people in for zon usa i guess if your school not american (at least rn?)

#

banished to van or toronto or something kek

drifting shore
#

🤣

brisk gate
#

they even have a TN sponsorship selection thing but i guess that filters out people anyway

#

happened to me too, the interview said USA in the emails and stuff

#

but ultimately i think the location was for van/toronto

nah its soft eng

na soft eng fell off

its easy to get good gpa when u take bird coruses

hardy trench

gpa requirements to get into comp eng is higher than soft eng

atomic ember
#

nono

#

i heard soft eng was highest

hardy trench
#

not for this year

#

the cutoff for comp eng was higher then soft

atomic ember
#

idk i heard from a 3rd year eng

#

so i gues it changed

hardy trench
#

yea

#

soft eng cut offs fell

#

and comp eng rised

atomic ember
#

hows ur coop portal?

hardy trench

ngl

atomic ember
#

wait do u share it with ours?

hardy trench
#

yea

#

we have the same portal

atomic ember
#

same jobs and everythig

hardy trench
#

since cs is faculty of eng too

#

coop portal is useless tho for us rn

#

bc they heavily favor 3rd year

#

4th year

#

it is possible for 2nd year

atomic ember
#

yeah ik even the eng ppl are waiting till 4th year with 1 term left to coop for like 12 montsh and get full time offer

hardy trench

yea

#

u tryna get winter co op too then?

drifting shore
stark cipher
#

so theyve been dipping into the ngmi schools

#

(thats why they went to mcgill 🤣 )

brisk gate
#

Bro said zon tho

#

That's cause the job board is falling off imo

#

Coop itself and rep is still good

#

Naw that's external too

#

Like loo only external postings

#

Ngl I don't even know if they're talking ng or intern

#

Shop is nice ng cause remote

crystal comet
#

if you grind the pay isn't too bad either

#

140k

brisk gate
#

Yea

#

I'd take zon ng as well ngl

#

Just pray I'm not aws

#

I really wanted zon van ngl

#

But fate said fuck you

#

Prob yea

#

Esp with more resources online

#

I blame day in the life videos for everything bad that has happened

stark cipher
#

no

#

the point is

#

shop is ur 2nd coop

#

but once u get to 3rd

#

or the "big leagues"

#

no one wants to work at zon anymore

#

eveyrone goes to G/M or some YC startuo

#

so zon has to start recruitng from more cooked shyt

brisk gate
#

historically zon hires a lot of ubc and uoft

#

i mean just look at the van office locations and it speaks for itself

#

doesnt matter if youre noname school or uw

something went seriously wrong ngl

ye the diff between unis aren't that much tbh

karmic otter

I feel like that's the case too

#

Just my hunch though

#

When there's so much supply of candidates and few postings. And everyone's abilities are leveling out

#

School becomes the factor i feel like

unborn saffron
#

how'd they get this data

crystal citrus

#

ubc carried by zon frfr

#

they also have apple and microsoft near them (like physically)

#

waterloo has google

#

uoft has zon, technically has meta, google and shop but ehh

#

uvic?

#

uvic being segregated away from van

#

🥀

#

crazy shit tho, i see so many vancouver jobs just say fuck you to non locals

#

its actually crazy

#

i heard montreal does the same but i havent really searched in montreal tbf

#

the tech hub that doesnt expand 🥀

#

AYYY

#

LETS GO

#

at this point ottawas tech hub is way more enticing vs van's

do you know if you have to reinterview?

Well its natural to worry about getting a job. What you're saying is generally good life advice, but im just casually discussing things. I never said I gave up or something, and at the same time I dont blame people who decide to give up either.

I can try to do my best and vent about a poor job market at the same time, those are not exclusive things

There’s a funny stat showing that the value of companies created by YC rejects / the number of unicorns created by YC rejects is much higher than actual people who got into YC

#

the same is probably true for loo

Tbh the best people I’ve worked with in tech didn’t come from famous school

This isn’t cope

Research for this has been done for MIT / Stanford etc which rank much higher than UW

If you are a competitive applicant that submitted an application for MIT and got rejected, your life outcomes are almost identical

#

I think the only difference was for POC, because they tend to face hiring discrimination so brand name actually matters for them

But even then the difference wasn’t that large

#

And the MIT brand name / ranking / access to opportunities is much higher than UWaterloo, so I don’t see why UWaterloo would be unique in this sense.

#

And outcomes * not just brand names

#

To add onto Loo Hater's thoughts

#

I think UW has remained at its level, but the industry has gotten more competitive

brisk gate
#

Agreed

#

Relatively tho

So relatively, it is getting harder for UW mans to crack FAANG, tho they still ofc have a big advantage

Ehh faang has never really benefitted from being loo grad

Shopify vs IBM?

I know IBM pays mid 30s maximum for interns in Canada

But name is big, and the biggest thing that matters to me is appeal to faang recruiters

What about for US potential

A US recruiter wouldn’t know the pay discrepancy between Shopify and IBM

# dreamy plover how come ?

There was this guy who wrote up a completely bs resume, he put only faang companies on there. But for the actual resume points, he legitimately put things like "Brought coffee to the team" and "arranged a hooker meetup"

#

He got bare callbacks from faang and faang adjacent

#

Once the company is big enough, the company name matters

#

You could potentially do dev at gov and be cracked and do legit swe work, but it won't hit as hard as if you had done it at a bigger tech

Hi guys, do you know if Bloomberg NYC offers H1B for international student who is studying at Canada? I got an 60 mins video interview with one of them without any OA. But I don’t understand why (it was not auto)! I thought they don’t offer H1B to someone who is not in the US.

they'll send all their h1bs their

marsh thorn
#

no but like for FAANG

#

100k

#

is nothing

fluid hound
#

so instead of seattle they're going to move like 2 hours north

marsh thorn
#

it's only for new H1bs

#

and renewals

#

not the existing ones

fluid hound
marsh thorn
#

Trump's fee is only in effect for one year

fluid hound
#

and amazon hires like a lot of intl new grads

marsh thorn
#

like senior or staff level

#

where they make 300-400

#

100k can't be that much right?

fluid hound
#

no prob not

#

but if i had to guess they'll cut the salary of the senior or staff a bit

violet swift
#

isnt h1b for internationals?

fluid hound
#

yes

marsh thorn
#

international students get OPT

#

but it's only like 2 years

#

then they apply for h1b

violet swift
marsh thorn
#

hold on

#

but what if WITCH

#

does internal company transfers

#

from the US

#

where the whole purpose of h1b is cheap labour so therefore its pointless to pay that fee

#

start transferring or redirecting people here?

#

wouldn't we see a surge in the Intra-Company-Transfer Visa from them?

#

so would Canada face even more immigration fraud and abuse than we're facing now?

will this h1b1 effect those who are canadian citizens and working in US or gonna work in US?

$100k is a lot for a company to pay tbh, even big tech. Big parts of the salaries are stock, so +$100k in cash is pretty huge

fickle juniper
#

100k is not a lot

#

100k * 100 might not even be a lot

#

but it adds up...

safe light
#

it's a 100k charge per first approval

#

which is 100k/6 so around 20k per year extra processing fees for a h1b worker

fickle juniper
#

oh interesting they clarified that then

#

it's literally less than what the candian goverment charges

in the anouncement they called it an annual fee charged every year
