[wide thistle]

u just tell them to do shi and fix it up

[viral tree]

So that replaces the job of writing manual code

[inland moss]

Ask rectifiedninja about what his brother does…

[wide thistle]

🙂

[inland moss]

Ngl that place’s AI tooling so shit

Not easy to become that good as a vibe coder

[wide thistle]

damn

[inland moss]

Infinite vibes

[viral tree]

Has anyone here gotten lyft questionnaire?

[wide thistle]

shopify u can prob get to L6 with vibe coding ngl

[wide thistle]

no 😢

[viral tree]

Did you apply for montreal?

I think toronto one is Hella competitive, montreal one is chill

[violet glacier]

do u get c5 only if u return after intern or is it possible for ng

[wide thistle]

from what i know only return after intern

[inland moss]

I applied for every Lyft place lol

[inland moss]

They barely hire ng

[wide thistle]

oh yeah that too

[inland moss]

That’s why they are hiring so many interns

[wide thistle]

yeah and also i think u can get shopify internship without school

[stark cipher]

its fine

[inland moss]

Over af which one is more of a red flag Carleton or Zon

I think zon

[stark cipher]

they do not hire new grads

they only hire interns and convert them to 4/5

6 is senior and is 5yoe+

not really

i dont trust chat

i usually work on 3 things at once,

one stack in review

one stack i code

and one stack i get chat to write my unit tests

[inland moss]

Just leave 10 cursor agents running before you go to bed

[stark cipher]

keep in mind i also have no life lol

[inland moss]

Worth af

[stark cipher]

work school and 6 days of gym thats about it

[inland moss]

I like how Shopify just lets you burn infinite tokens

Worth af

[wide thistle]

bro they literally want u to burn tokens

i miss when I had infinite claude code

i got spoiled

[inland moss]

At zon they have shit cline lol

Fuck cline ngl it’s the worst piece of shit I’ve ever used

[unreal field]

Wdym there’s like infinite tools to vibe code

[inland moss]

like what

none of them is nearly as good as cursor or claude code

cline is trash because of its context management and promoting issue - it constantly tries to re-read files and override your own changes

[unreal field]

Ok maybe it was fine for me cuz of my project

I just used diya

[unreal field]

isn’t that all of us

I’m too lazy to gym

[inland moss]

yeah like diya is not agentic coding and idk if you remember like i was not even able to demo because they limited internal capacity for their own vibe coding product

it was truly gg

[unreal field]

nah I wasn’t there for urs

Acc I wasn’t there for anyones

[inland moss]

based

[violet glacier]

frugality taken too far

mfs using open source shit

[inland moss]

i think open source is not the issue, it's like they have pretty rigid security reviews

meanwhile shopify literally wants to use everything

[rugged gale]

Anyone have a lyft 60 min technical coming up?

[inland moss]

as long as some dev wants it and it may possibly lead to higher productivity tobi will provide it

[stark cipher]

shopify literally only wants you to use the most expensive model

youre literally not allowed to not use the not flagship model

[rugged gale]

If anyone is interviewing for lyft please shoot me a dm (toronto, swe intern)

[inland moss]

zon does not want

[stark cipher]

some mfkers were still using chat3 and they booted them all to chat5

[inland moss]

when i was there they were using claude 3 haiku lol

[inland moss]

is it real that tobi and farhan will personally beat you up in front of everyone if your token metrics fall below a certain threshold

[stark cipher]

idk

but your token usage is measured

lol

[inland moss]

just bully claude to write tests

i burnt thousands

[outer trout]

loo

no ref

[main aspen]

idrk bigdog magic but he said 1-2 weeks and website says sometime in october so prob fine for now

i have ref but not loo

[outer trout]

we're gonna be coworkers by jan i believe 😊

[main aspen]

i might fall through cause i aint loo

loo quota is too strong

[lyric sphinx]

someone should make a bp edit for resumes

loo is chad

[unreal field]

Yeah

The Swe Eng manager did not fw my project presentation for final interview

[main aspen]

is the presentation like an actual slide show, and like a personal project or a work project

[unreal field]

Yes

[main aspen]

personal or work?

or either

[unreal field]

Either

But afaik if it doesn’t have real impact ur ngmi

[main aspen]

zzzzz

more worried about not even getting an int... then busting on the int after

[unreal field]

I wanted to demo a work project but think it was NDA’d

[main aspen]

dont think im NDAd but might be hardd to show it in a presentation

[inland moss]

What even is real impact from personal project lol

And how do you demo prev workplace shit

What a shit process

[unreal field]

Yeah

Can’t show pics or smth from workplace

Personal projs are usually Mickey Mouse

[main aspen]

ig if its real impact. eg, u worked on some app u can show the actual app

just cant really show code...

[main aspen]

u think projects that arent on product is considered real impact like some internal tooling

[unreal field]

dunno, I didn’t pass

w/ personal project thats no impact

[main aspen]

[wide thistle]

no but in your performance review they act look at how much/how effectively you use ai

[outer trout]

im not complaining bro i was claude coding every day

[wide thistle]

oh ye me too i agree

[unreal field]

Wait did ur bro say anything about the interns he was working with 😂

[wide thistle]

not really

he told me he put the interns to work tho

[unreal field]

fair ig

[inland moss]

i think we only had vibe codable projects or impossible projects lol

mine was kind of both

[hardy trench]

aws vs amazon intern

[stark cipher]

aws (if you’re doing hardcore infra)

if not its all just crud, boring ass shit

[inland moss]

All interns just work on random shit anyways

AWS better name

The Annapurna thing is more worth

rbc

[viral tree]

Did you get email with all the questions?

From what ive heard its oa-> interview 1 -> interview 2

All ood

[muted seal]

that’s for toronto ?

im
in montreal

[viral tree]

Same applies

I applied for montreal and got the same email

[muted seal]

test automation v

?

[viral tree]

Yep

[muted seal]

leetcode for test automation ?

[viral tree]

Nah, ood

[muted seal]

object oriented design ?

[viral tree]

Yea

[muted seal]

then why does it says pick a language

java python ;...

NOTE: If selected to move forward in the interview process, our first assessment will be a technical interview that requires proficiency in backend. The backend/server interview assesses for general software engineering skills and is currently offered in the following languages: Java, Python, PHP, Ruby, C++, JavaScript (node.js), C#, and Go. We recommend choosing a language that you're strongest in, as that will set you up for interview success.

[viral tree]

Its classes and functions, that can be done in most languages

[muted seal]

damn so all my 10 leetcodes ive done so far are pointless

so like they want to see how we would design a system , efficiently , scalable ...

[viral tree]

From what ive heard, from ppl that took it before, they even say in the email the first part will not be leetcode

[muted seal]

the backend engineer role i heard is leeetcode tho

idk if it will differ

[viral tree]

Us or canada

Cause ik in us they do lc

[muted seal]

canada

Toronto is byteboard --> interview 1 --->

[unborn saffron]

yea byteboard then 2 interviews

both interviews for me was about designing a data structure, interview 2 was a more complex one

but ive heard of people getting traditional algorithm leetcode problems as well

[viral tree]

Is this for montreal or toronto

[unborn saffron]

lyft backend toronto summer 2025

so last cycle

[viral tree]

What do you think is the best way to prepare for it

[muted seal]

should we practice more leetcode dsa or ood

[unborn saffron]

probably neetcode

[unborn saffron]

i had no idea they hired for winter directly

[fickle juniper]

us out too

good luck my felow canucks

[unborn saffron]

both my interviews happened to be designing a data structure, but i cant speak for others ive heard they ask algorithm problems too

i think my first interview question was the min stack problem

normal stack data structure but you can return the minimum value in the stack in O(1) time

[viral tree]

How was your oa?

[unborn saffron]

it was with byteboard which isnt like a traditional hackerrank or codesignal

[muted seal]

apparently toronto is way more competitive than montreal

[unborn saffron]

if you get it theyll describe what itll be like cause i lowkey forgot

i do know you get a mock codebase with multiple files and you gotta finish some methods or fix some bugs

dont think the oa was proctored

[muted seal]

do you know anyone who did a test automation ?

[unborn saffron]

nope

[manic dew]

anyone do the OA for squarepoint

[muted seal]

yes know ur OS

fundamentals

[manic dew]

it's not leetcode?

[muted seal]

yes it is

with mcqs

[manic dew]

o i see

any recs for types of questions to prep in terms of leetcode?

I can review my OS notes np

[plush spoke]

@viral tree for the backend it was ood

so id say prep for that

[muted seal]

in montréal ?

[plush spoke]

oh mb toronto

[muted seal]

how do you prep for OOD?

[plush spoke]

ngl idk

[muted seal]

i assume test automation it would be OOD

what do they ask ?

[plush spoke]

id prob ask gpt for lyft-related ood interview questions

[viral tree]

It looks like some ppl get dsa and some ppl get ood

[plush spoke]

like given json, clean it, and then return this given these conditions

literally ood but i js wasnt prepared

[feral widget]

prob dumb question but - for zon, if i got a link for a phone interview and they say choose a slot and make it at least 45 mins is that a technical round or no? not sure why a non technical round would require 45+ mins

[plush spoke]

i js did lc lmao

[viral tree]

We're there nested dictionarys

[plush spoke]

uhmmmm

yeah the input was a nested dictionary

[honest niche]

Does Apple usually pay like 30-40/hr? And what roles qualify for relocation assistance?

[muted seal]

how much does Lyft pay in montreal

[swift kernel]

hunnid racks

[unreal field]

its 2 behave lp questions (look up amazon lp's) and 1 lc in 1 interview

at least for s25

id assume its still the same

[viral tree]

Did you hear back after replying to their email

[feral widget]

gotcha thanks, its for new grad pos and apparently theres 4 flippin rounds after the phone screen

not sure if 4 rounds is typical for new grad tbh, seems excessive

[unreal field]

oh ng

yeah thats like 3 same day rounds afaik

maybe theres a round before that ig

[feral widget]

ah ok I thought it'd all be separete days

thanks for the info

[stark cipher]

very nornal dude

cit asking like 8 rounds for interns

[stark cipher]

mid hundreds

[unreal field]

Which hundred

[stark cipher]

one hundred

lol

mid one hundreds

[unreal field]

Darn

[swift kernel]

i got 2 questionnaires and ghosted from both ☠️☠️☠️

[viral tree]

when did you reply to their emails

[swift kernel]

first one like 12hrs after

[muted seal]

no way they actually take who is the fastest

[swift kernel]

[gusty latch]

what r some easy procs

[swift kernel]

dogshit i guess

i didnt know they were screening hard like that on the questionnaires ☠️☠️☠️

[viral tree]

they actually care about them 😭 , my recruiter sent a follow up question about them

[swift kernel]

i did give a gpt response bc i assumed it was a formality

nah no way

[viral tree]

i spent an hour trying to perfect them 😭

filled some gaps in with gpt

[swift kernel]

fml bruh

[viral tree]

what did you say for your french level for the montreal app?

[swift kernel]

0

no way u need to speak french bro

are u gonna be coding in french

[viral tree]

this was on the app

i think you need some level of french cuz ppl in montreal speak it

and your gonna be working with ppl from there

[muted seal]

sweat

i did the whole response in french lol

[viral tree]

did they respond in french?

[muted seal]

no she translate it

byteboard is gonna tuff?

how come lyft is only 35 $

id rather work at intact where its 38 $

[eager imp]

lyft can vs us is crazy lmao

[viral tree]

yea that sucks, but the name carries though

[viral tree]

lyft us is in cali though everything is much more expensive and taxes r through the roof

[swift kernel]

do u speak french

like no bs

[viral tree]

some what

[eager imp]

yea but lyft pays the same for toronto as montreal 💀

[swift kernel]

like gr 9 gr 10 doesnt count

[eager imp]

and torontos expensive as shit

[swift kernel]

have u spoken french outside of high school

[viral tree]

nah

[swift kernel]

montreal is a scam

I hope they pay better because lyft just go to montreal

[eager imp]

[silent folio]

sending out questionnaires on a 9pm on a friday is crazy

[silent folio]

[viral tree]

montreal is way cheaper to live in though

[muted seal]

no theres no interview to schedule

its a byteboard

[viral tree]

no just got oa

[muted seal]

we do whenever we want

what are the odds we do it together hahahha

we both get interviews and its free for all

[viral tree]

what uni do u guys go to?

[stark cipher]

why woud you ever work at intact

intact is a shit company

you will literally learn nothing

[muted seal]

38$ per hour

[stark cipher]

idgaf

[muted seal]

i go to waterloo

[silent folio]

[viral tree]

🔥

[muted seal]

mbd king

[viral tree]

u gotta give me like

companies to compare against

[muted seal]

wait 42.5 was us or canada

[silent folio]

like lyft vs shopify

[viral tree]

ok lyft vs zon?

[stark cipher]

ive never worked at lyft

but i work at shop

so im biased

i think lyft is probably better

asusming their tooling is fine

but hiring

[unreal field]

Lyft

[stark cipher]

"test automation" interns

sounds really bad

ngl

like that says something about the company i feel like lol

[swift kernel]

u can always larp no big deal

[viral tree]

toronto backend is same

[stark cipher]

i hate zon bro

i am zon's biggest hater

i think its a shit company

[silent folio]

except for annapurna

[stark cipher]

lyft > zon

[unreal field]

Lyft > Zon?

[eager imp]

us?

[safe light]

lyft is same as other med tech tbh

[stark cipher]

no its just like

why do you need interns to do test automation

shouldnt u like

[eager imp]

for resume i think zon

[stark cipher]

alreayd have that handled

lol

[stark cipher]

HELL NO

[eager imp]

for ft salary and remote id take lyft

[stark cipher]

people know zon is shit

zon is NOT that good for urresume

at all

[viral tree]

all of lyfts backend roles r test automation 😭 , even US

[eager imp]

yeah its not as good but it gets u shit despite the popular opinion on this server lmao

compared to lyft

[safe light]

test exp is not bad

[muted seal]

lyft ft in mtl pay is off

[silent folio]

71 in nyc

[stark cipher]

are bad engineers lol

[unreal field]

man I don’t think it’s that easy to get to Zon us internally when every Canadian dev and their dog already has the same mindset as us

[viral tree]

wow how did it go?

[stark cipher]

except for the AWSians

i think theyre ok

[balmy quarry]

lc medium, pretty easy

[muted seal]

ok HRT is 25k sign on bonus for swe interns

@stark cipher Shopify Eng talent is S tier

[balmy quarry]

not sure

[viral tree]

i did my c1 power day 2 days ago, so if i get an offer, i shouldnt take it

how was interview after byteboard

[balmy quarry]

shop is tech debt central and 996 supposedly

[viral tree]

green card

[swift kernel]

spill the tea

[balmy quarry]

2 lc mediums pretty light

neetcode 150 u should be fine

[swift kernel]

bro what 😭

[unreal field]

If shop is 996 then so is Amazon and I’d rather get 160k over 99k

[crystal comet]

shop is NOT 996 LOL

[balmy quarry]

shop is 99k?

[safe light]

better than nothing but its not good long term

[muted seal]

what is the byte board about for lyft

[balmy quarry]

I've spoken to 4 interns so far

[unreal field]

it’s other guy w same profile pic but diff user

[balmy quarry]

who said they've worked 9am to like 8pm regularly

[crystal comet]

???

u were not working 996 in winter

[viral tree]

some ppl have said its leetcode, and other ppl say interview is OOP 😭

[crystal comet]

??

[balmy quarry]

ye mine was full LC all throughout the process

[crystal comet]

maybe because summer had less ROing?

[muted seal]

toronto is fully leetcode

[balmy quarry]

i can't really say much due to NDA they made me sign

[crystal comet]

summer was not 996

[safe light]

shop cringe tbh

[crystal comet]

you guys got this

ngmi echo chamber 🙁

[magic nymph]

Man, it is just crazy how people can have the same education, but after graduation people either be living the dream of a FANNG company, or completely jobless

[balmy quarry]

life is very rng

[brazen marlin]

education doesn't matter (unless loo) just gotta grind

[balmy quarry]

^

[inland moss]

Education is pretty much useless anyways

[regal citrus]

anyone got update after oa for c1 canada?

[inland moss]

No

[stark cipher]

im most ngmi

[queen anvil]

Guys anyone know what microsoft fullstack intern final round interview is like?

[inland moss]

im more ngmi

[unborn saffron]

ngl im gmi

[eager imp]

behavioural and lc tagged

[queen anvil]

What do they ask in behavioural

[eager imp]

the same as any other place, just resume reviews and star questions

[queen anvil]

How long is each? I just got an invite for one whole day 9:30 to 3:30

Is it like a 45 min technical sometime in the beginning and then a 30 min behavioural later in the day?

[eager imp]

they just tell u to be free during that time

for me it was 2 hrs with 2 back to back rounds both behavioural and technical

each 45 mins

some people had 3 rounds

[queen anvil]

So each round was 45 min, I'm guessing 30 min technical and then 15 behavioural?

[queen anvil]

Messed up

[eager imp]

yeah but it depends on ur interviewer

[queen anvil]

Would you say more difficult than amazon?

[viral tree]

Btw, did they send you 1st interview invite for lyft during the weekend?

[eager imp]

prob same difficulty

[queen anvil]

Ok ok W

[balmy quarry]

Yes
