[balmy quarry]

i got something similar

that's a really good and relevant oss to contribute to

[crystal comet]

unless it's really cracked team then idt it's worth

langchain ngmi

[inner trench]

shop asks for the same thing lol

dropping out for 100k cad gotta be a trap

[balmy quarry]

our ai workflows at my work are written in langchain

[balmy quarry]

i would never drop out for 100 bones

[crystal comet]

na shop people can do school and ft

[turbid island]

byteboard has their own reviewers and they send results to company

[viral tree]

Wow that's interesting

[balmy quarry]

Probably engineers in India

For max profit margin

[viral tree]

GL!

[balmy quarry]

Lovely Im happy for you u

Ur gonna kill it

[viral tree]

I got a midterm this Thursday and need time to prep dsa since its been a while, you think its a good idea to only send interview dates for next week

Cause I could rlly use that time to prep

[balmy quarry]

Are they hiring on rolling basis?

[viral tree]

Yea

[balmy quarry]

Of

Oof

[viral tree]

But I heard its very possible to get off waitlist cause ppl reneg

[balmy quarry]

How comfortable are you with completing LC meds

[viral tree]

Not at all, need atleast 1-2 days

[balmy quarry]

Do it next week

[viral tree]

Used to grind lc during the summer but took a break

[balmy quarry]

Ur guaranteed gonna get LC medium and up

I had 2 mediums 1 easy on my 1st round for swe backend

[viral tree]

Do you think glass door is good for finding possible questions

[viral tree]

All in 1 hour???

[balmy quarry]

U have a cs fundamentals round right?

[balmy quarry]

Ye I breezed through them

[viral tree]

Yea

[balmy quarry]

I have 250 completed on LC lol

[viral tree]

Damn, thats crazy

[viral tree]

I did half of NC 150

Is that enough

[balmy quarry]

Honestly u should be fine if u review everything up until graphs

Fro what I’ve heard

Tagged was useless for me

[viral tree]

Damn I was planning on grinding tagged

[viral tree]

Including graphs?

[balmy quarry]

Well on LC they only have 24 tagged questions

[balmy quarry]

Ye just know the regular algorithms dfs bfs and topsort

[viral tree]

https://github.com/liquidslr/leetcode-company-wise-problems how about this one

[balmy quarry]

My 1 st round question was Im there lmao

That’s all I can say

[viral tree]

Ok so stack, queue, linked list, sliding windows, bst, trees and graphs

[balmy quarry]

Last year they asked time based key store a lot as well

[balmy quarry]

1 of them

[viral tree]

So doing dp or greedy is not worth my time

[balmy quarry]

I couldn’t say for sure

But nobody I’ve talked to got those

So it’s low ROI imo

[viral tree]

Leetcode 981?

[balmy quarry]

Yes

2 of my friends got that for the summer swe

Alright no more questions he overthinking it

Ur*

[viral tree]

Ok tyyy

[unreal field]

[inner trench]

Good luck!

Could I know when you have the interview. Mine is on Friday

I’m trying to find more info about what the 15mins of the interview will be about. Idk if it’s lld,hld, or frontend/mobile related

[unreal field]

It’ll be all of the above that u mentioned

In 15 mins

Rapid fire trivia

[plucky jacinth]

That’s interesting

Never seen that happen before

[unreal field]

Yeah. i interviewed with uber and it was wild. they asked me to design a van emde boas tree optimized for modern hardware caching, which is already insane. then there was a dp problem with superincreasing knapsacks and modular constraints. they also hit me with a graph theory question about finding the minimum feedback arc set in a weighted digraph. oh, and some cryptography stuff about implementing a lattice-based key exchange efficiently. easily the hardest interview i’ve ever done.

[soft stirrup]

Anyone got rbc offers this week? HM said they will be sent this week.

[rancid mica]

just putting this here, stop dming about my interview, plz ping me in this chat instead

[inland moss]

Why you guys all so gmi

[balmy quarry]

What the hell

[balmy quarry]

[lyric sphinx]

4th time seeing this here

[crystal comet]

it's a common interview style

[lyric sphinx]

the regular lattice based key exchange. a classic

[unreal field]

As classic as 2 sum

[plucky jacinth]

Are you being fr

I guess there can be a lot of variance with uber ints

I saw someone’s loop on YouTube and it was 2 lc meds without any sys design (supposedly because it was for a new grad role)

[stark cipher]

i got asked steal lyft trade secrets

[balmy quarry]

[quartz ridge]

Is anyone present to request my refund

[gusty latch]

jerry sells ur data

i never see anyone getting hired by jerry

i'm convinced they post openings like every month

and they hire no one

and sell ur data

🤣

[brisk gate]

the post is kinda disingenuous

they repost the same opening multiple times (they take down the old one and repost it under a new id)

so at a given moment, theres not 1400 jobs

unless they quite literally mean theres 1400 postings up at a given time which last time i checked, was nowhere near the case

yea theres at most like 50 or so openings rn

i have heard of 2 instances where people have gotten jerry processes for swe in toronto

[sinful marsh]

did anyone get a respone back from rbc?

I didnt even get the "coop and academic terms" email but i heard sme ppl even started getting offers...

im in Data Sci 8 months t&o

im ngmi

[bronze rain]

a few people have

[carmine cloak]

ive actually not heard of many

[dense crown]

Didn’t they already release some offers ?

[night drum]

looking for someone to split interviewcoder with (already have 2 people), prefer canadians but open to americans as well

[zenith star]

Least obvious fed

[night drum]

not a fed

like what

[gusty latch]

how about you stop cheating and actually prepare for your interviews!

[unique pasture]

nice marketing roy 😄

[dreamy plover]

interviewcoder just to sound like a robot in interviews 😭

[wet pewter]

interviewcoder is not getting u a job

can u imagine one passing the optimal soln for some dp hard in 5 mins then fumbling a followup

they're changing the guidelines to spam interviewees with followups so if u just gpt'd the answer you're gonna get cooked

[rancid mica]

does anyone know if the first round lyft is a leetcode or oop

[wary dew]

Did anyone get the Microsoft Explore OA ?

[plucky jacinth]

How is one this cooked 💀

It’s probably easier to just prepare for the actual interview than to cheat on it without looking like you’re cheating lol

[balmy quarry]

LC

[balmy quarry]

Buddy wants to split a 30 dollar subscription ggs dawg

[plucky jacinth]

It’s crazy to me that people actually use that kind of stuff let alone pay for it

[balmy quarry]

They forgot the best one

Ontario Tech

[wide thistle]

mcmaster 😢

[unborn saffron]

now i've seen it all

didn't even bother applying

i'm really looking at it now how did they even come up with this selection of schools

[dense crown]

what company?

[hardy trench]

Index exchange

[tough knot]

Is atlassian oa auto

[unborn saffron]

literally the message right above yours

[tough knot]

Mb I’m trippib

[zenith star]

Yea a shit ton these past 2-3 weeks

[zenith star]

Nah Vancouver and Toronto also

Everyone’s eating

[kind tundra]

Middle of nowhere vs middle of nowhere

[queen anvil]

Wdym Redmond is in the greater Seattle area and menlo park is bay area😭

[kind tundra]

Both r shit ngl

[hardy trench]

Brampton is the new tech hub

[kind tundra]

if u want robinhood menlo park just beg hw to move u if ur fast enough

otherwise bye bye to toronto

[queen anvil]

Wdym

I ain't apply to Toronto

They take way too much advantage of the lesser pay here; 33/h CAD for Toronto

[kind tundra]

they dont take ppl irectly from usa app if ur from canada

u have to apply to toronto

then ask

[queen anvil]

I applied only to MP and NYC positions

Got OA

[kind tundra]

then ig they changed

[inner trench]

alr nobody giving u a straight answer holy

rh gaps msft

[queen anvil]

Been corresponding with my old recruiters from last year for about 2 months now telling them nyc and mp only

[inner trench]

take rh

[queen anvil]

Gang I love fantasizing about making it, haven't gotten offers from either yet😔

[inner trench]

rh is piss easy process

msft is sleeper

both are like the easiest processes ever

u getting both

[queen anvil]

Yeah OA was surprisingly easy, got it done in 20 min

Hardest question was a graph dfs

[inner trench]

it's one tech one behav for intern, right?

[queen anvil]

Two years ago it was karat, then tech and then behavioural with rh engineers

[inner trench]

yea that's it

[queen anvil]

Last year it was codesignal proctored gca, then tech 45 min + 30 min behavioural with rh engineers

[inner trench]

yea you'll be fine

[queen anvil]

This year just had the coderpad proctored OA

[inner trench]

gl

i hope you get both

[queen anvil]

Thanks cuh

[inner trench]

which team at msft btw?

[queen anvil]

Fullstack

[inner trench]

yea take rh man

holy gap

[fluid drum]

why settle just take citadel

[queen anvil]

Idk specific team, interviewers were powerpoint and office suite

[inner trench]

rh gives you more interesting work

more tight knit

better engineering culture

<@&868936794601828492>

[queen anvil]

I care more about resume value lowkey, like potential to get me to better places (also potential to get me to NYC)

[inner trench]

rh also has a higher res value

rh gaps in every way

msft is safety in this case

[queen anvil]

I've always thought of Microsoft as low faang, what would rh be

I'll be grateful for either styll

[inner trench]

not sure where rh would be, but i can tell you that it's a pretty good place to work at

[queen anvil]

I'll take your word for it

More than anything, I just want a path to new york

[inner trench]

also some good advice is not count your eggs before they hatch

even though i said the processes are easy, variability is high (as with any interview)

[queen anvil]

I was jumping for joy after clearing zon last year only to never get off the waitlist😔

[queen anvil]

100%, I've heard people get dp for microsoft, one of my rounds literally no coding, the other was extremely easy

[inner trench]

that dp was prolly house robber

but yea, variability is high

gl

[queen anvil]

Basically find the occurences of a character and then get kth occurence

[inner trench]

lol

tag me when you make it

[queen anvil]

Are you loo?

What year

[inner trench]

not loo

i'm a senior

[queen anvil]

Same. Cracked big tech yet?

[inner trench]

yea

[eager imp]

where u at rn

[inner trench]

unemployed

[eager imp]

do bloomberg

[balmy quarry]

i will crack u

[balmy quarry]

bro saying dis like it's easy

[eager imp]

idk i felt like the rounds were similar to msft

tagged then sys design

[balmy quarry]

u got bb offer?

or ur moving to r2?

[eager imp]

yes

[balmy quarry]

oh shit

do u remember which ques u got

or just do tagged

[eager imp]

grind out tagged like never before

[balmy quarry]

alr gng

[eager imp]

i think i got top 100 in 2 days or sum after msft final

[balmy quarry]

there's some hella bs question on dis

[eager imp]

its lowkey rng

[balmy quarry]

wait wha

top 100 most frequent in 2 days?

[eager imp]

i got sys design on final most people dont get it but it is what it is

[eager imp]

like i cranked out top 100 in 2 days 💀

[balmy quarry]

like oop, or deadass designing like bitly or something

[balmy quarry]

ur a freak

[eager imp]

like proper

altho doesnt need to be drawing

[balmy quarry]

took me 2 weeks to do nc150 and top 25 tagged for lyft

[eager imp]

more like light discussion

[balmy quarry]

never done sys des, I probably won't study

seems improbable for intern

[eager imp]

yeah its rare fs

usually its like design discussion on ur projects

[balmy quarry]

i just know the terms i might be able to finesse it

oh perf

[eager imp]

super light for loo

heard its 1 round

crazy

[balmy quarry]

loo is a cheat code

man fuck

apparently bb openned on waterworks today

[eager imp]

for summer? i thought looworks opens summer in jan/feb

damn

[balmy quarry]

ay bruh if i get dis

or msft

i got it out the mud

[balmy quarry]

wya u at rn btw?

[eager imp]

zon last summer hubspot rn

[balmy quarry]

im tryn get like u

[eager imp]

buddy u alr got bigtech u made it wym

[wispy oyster]

ghosted by every single tech company after big tech

chat is this normal

[raw ocean]

yes

[lavish mantle]

anyone get fb from google ng?

[wispy oyster]

okay phew

[rare shuttle]

What interview do u have that’s sys design

[fluid drum]

hubspot 💔

[wispy oyster]

they exclusively ask you to design netflix every single time

[fluid drum]

when they switch it up and ask you to design airbnb

[inland moss]

Same exp I think they denylisted some big tech

[wispy oyster]

is meta denylisted?
also, what is denylisted 😭

[inland moss]

It probably is

It’s newspeak for blacklisted

[wispy oyster]

ah okay

[wispy oyster]

okay okay makes sense

I mean the process was free last time, but all of big tech is free process now, so im not sure why

like zon is 1 int, msft is 1 int, db is 2 ints, google is 2 ints

all flukable

[inland moss]

Over,,,

[wispy oyster]

real shit, the hardest part is getting the int lol

[inland moss]

I don’t even pass resume screen nowadays

[eager imp]

not true anymore

theyve changed the proc

[swift kernel]

yea now its design hubspot

[eager imp]

no its not lmao 😭

they should make it that tho

[inner trench]

i can confirm

didn’t zon summer come out like nov last year

shit was hella late

@nulname

wtf this guy left

[unreal field]

holy mama

yes, can personally confirm

[inner trench]

he got ro

actual ro

[unreal field]

yes sir

your shopify elo gonna go down cuz u didn’t refer now

[inland moss]

What’s the rate

160k?

[unreal field]

Yeah tc

[inland moss]

Congrats

See you in the summer maybe

Be light on me when you are my mentor

[unreal field]

nah i wanna start in sept

Did u get urs?

[inland moss]

No I’m intern RO lol

It’s way later

Like February

Assign me MCP again pls

But more slop less hassle

[unreal field]

💀

[broken whale]

Wheres mine at?

[unreal field]

Recruiter forgot to hit send haha

[broken whale]

Hahahahahah

Check dm

[barren wadi]

did anyone hear back from zon winter?

[tough knot]

yes

[wide thistle]

when is zon summer coming out i need to take @inland moss's spot

[inland moss]

tell your bro to give me open source mcp

i need open source mcp project

pls

[wide thistle]

he dont got the power like that 🥀

[inland moss]

just give me something that i can vibe code in a few weeks

🙏

pls zoners

[barren wadi]

when did you apply fam

[tough knot]

Like the 7 or 8th

[inland moss]

Oh btw the Toronto specific position came out super late

Idk if this year will be similar

[wide thistle]

o ok good to know

[inland moss]

Yeah and interview was super late too

Like into March

Mine was Feb 28

[wide thistle]

damn thats pre late for big tech

did u have anything else for summer

[inland moss]

Last summer? Shopify

Reneged

[wide thistle]

shi we coulda been together

[inland moss]

Lol

[wide thistle]

yeah i got my shop offer early feb

makes sense

[inland moss]

Snaked tf out of my recruiter

I reneged well into March

[wide thistle]

ive heard a lot of people renege shopify

[inland moss]

Yeah she specifically told me

[wide thistle]

thats why they dont give summer ROs early this year lol

[inland moss]

Ppl reneged like crazy for zon

Zonami

[wide thistle]

damn 😭

[inland moss]

She just figured it’s Amazon

[wide thistle]

im gonna try to secure shopify ro for summer

[inland moss]

YYZ 14&18 zonami

[wide thistle]

but if i can get zon or g im taking that

[inland moss]

Many such cases

[carmine cloak]

do they blacklist?

[inland moss]

i will try summer again

then i can tell

[carmine cloak]

oh lol

did u try winter?

[inland moss]

i was too lazy to apply for winter because i intended to do school

and it involved some written answers? i dont remember, also idk ruby and c++

[carmine cloak]

ur recruiter told you that many renege shopify?

😭

[inland moss]

yea and she even had idea why i reneged

lol

[carmine cloak]

the work is great tbh, lots to learn, but they hire so many

[carmine cloak]

zon toronto right?

[inland moss]

like it took a high level of mass reneging for them to know the pattern lol

yea

[carmine cloak]

after signing offer letter?

[inland moss]

yea

[carmine cloak]

I see

[inland moss]

blacklist likelihood not low

lol

[carmine cloak]

is zon toronto equal difficulty to seattle/vancouver etc.?

[carmine cloak]

I mean you got zon now, so you shouldn't need to go to shop?

[inland moss]

i dont even know what is difficulty ngl

like my world shattered in two weeks

it's total rng

there were people who were assigned impossible bs

or things constantly changed (like in my case)

[carmine cloak]

also im curious, how would you rate shop as an internship?

[inland moss]

in general totally mentor dependent

[carmine cloak]

damn and I suppoose that impacted ro?

[inland moss]

i never did shop but it seems like others dislike zon more than shop

others (people and employers)

[carmine cloak]

damn really

just curious, where'd u hear that?

[inland moss]

i mean if anything i passed by catastrophe lol

like i was not able to figure out a sane way to graduate in 8 months

so i was evaluated for intern ro and they inclined

mentor probs didnt want to be too harsh because project was unlucky and i did a lot to fix it

🤣

[carmine cloak]

wait shop gave less ro in summer?

[inland moss]

but i will say the outcome was not to my standard

i would not have given myself ro

[carmine cloak]

I see

[crystal comet]

i think so

winter i think everyone ik who wanted ro got it

because winter there were only 4 performance categories

basically super shit / shit / good / really good

and you just needed good to get RO

[carmine cloak]

is was positive high positive and whatever else

[crystal comet]

but then they made it super shit / shit / meets expectations / good / really good

yeah

[carmine cloak]

I was there w u

[crystal comet]

cracked

[inland moss]

cracked af

i really feel shopify has more cracked people than zon

[carmine cloak]

I heard lots of people got "met"

[inland moss]

idk why

[crystal comet]

yeah meets was pretty common

and there was only 1 impact review so ppl didn't know until it was too late

[carmine cloak]

everyone got positive in the winter

at least most

[carmine cloak]

are they flexible with fully remote work now? 😭

do yk?

[carmine cloak]

doesn't it all boil down to whichever is harder to get into? at this point, idk which one is harder

[inland moss]

idk

[crystal comet]

shopify has always been fully remote

[carmine cloak]

for interns

allowing interns to work remote

[inland moss]

im pretty sure zon is harder

[crystal comet]

doubt it

[carmine cloak]

in winter they said it's dependant on manager

no?

[crystal comet]

maybe if you RO onto same team and ur manager is cool with it

i think officially it's always been you have to go in 3 days

it's just that managers tend to not care

[inland moss]

or maybe it's because shopifucks i know only tell me good things about shopify

[carmine cloak]

it was great tbh

thoughts @crystal comet

[kind tundra]

Great for free money

[inland moss]

yeah meanwhile amazon interns were not all that positive about zon

[crystal comet]

yeah shopify was pretty chill

only staff were working long hours

[inland moss]

and tbh many things inside zon were pretty chaotic

impossible to find any up to date info you need

[kind tundra]

0 work done -> good engineer

[unreal field]

does ur bro live alone or with ur fam

idk if I should move

blah blah

[inland moss]

move to where my mentor lives lol

right next to office

[unreal field]

I don’t get paid enough

[inland moss]

next level cheap bro

[unreal field]

Ye it’s called frugality

[inland moss]

you need to think big and bias for action tho

need to go back into office when you get paged and need emergency meeting

[unreal field]

No such thing

[wide thistle]

maybe it was just hte people i hang out wiht but most people i knew got positive or better in summer

[wide thistle]

alone but thats cos he just prefers living alone

[wide thistle]

number 1 zon value 🔥

@unreal field i would say if u live in the gta then lwk just commute go trains arent too bad, i mean what did u do this summer

[unreal field]

yea im in gta but its like 1hr train ride 1 way

idk if I can do this ft

For 2-4yrs

[balmy quarry]

My commute is 1h30 and i wanna blow my shi smoove off

[wide thistle]

yeah lwk thats a lot for ft

[wide thistle]

lol yeah i had 1 hr commute during summer but only 3 day week so tbh not htat bad

[inland moss]

2 hr a day for 20 days is 40 hr and if you make 60/hr+...

anyways its not worth taking train and shit imo

they only reimburse 280 lol

i was like frugal and didnt always claim 280

well i never claimed 280

[unreal field]

Why not

[brisk surge]

yo did anyone of yall recieve an offer from super.com?

[swift kernel]

the 2 extra hours a day u save by not commuting is a gargantuan increase in quality of life

if u live 5 min from office ur day is 2 hours longer

[unreal field]

Bro living 5 mins away will cost me my liver

and right arm

[swift kernel]

i went from commuting 2hr a day to 40min a day and that shit was heavenly

yea maybe 5min is too much but like 10-15 min is good

[eager imp]

yea dude i feel like commuting 2hr a day not worth

[crystal citrus]

moving is gas

i wanna live dt so bad

rent is fucked though

takes me 2hrs to get to union

my sister ended up getting a place for $2100/mo

fucked

[unreal field]

damn where from

[unreal field]

yeah i was just looking at its like ~2k pre much

[crystal citrus]

stouffville

[unreal field]

thsts 2 hours?

[crystal citrus]

most of it is walking to the go station

trains blessed but if you take the 70 it kinda sucks

[crystal citrus]

honestly not horrible

costs the same for a studio in baron ottawa

[wide thistle]

If ur gonna commute Lwk invest in a car just to get to go station

For long term

[crystal citrus]

true

itd be the best overall if you live in the gta

[wide thistle]

yeah about this but a little cheaper if u find a roommate

[crystal citrus]

i dont think you need a pass or anything to park in the go station

[wide thistle]

Nope it’s free

[crystal citrus]

i never had issues

honestly you can save a lot taking the go train

if you're okay with the commute

ive never actually paid for the train i always just walked on

[wide thistle]

I always just paid but if u are always going peak time then it’s relatively safe

They don’t check during peak time

[crystal citrus]

yeah less likely to find fare inspectors

[wide thistle]

I only got checked once during whole summer

[unborn saffron]

ive gotten checked once from may til now

[wide thistle]

And if I just didn’t pay at all I think ticket is cheaper

[crystal citrus]

if they pressed me once id start paying

im paranoid if they start tracking your offenses and press charges after 2-3 times

it’s Lwk worth

[crystal citrus]

[balmy quarry]

[unborn saffron]

[tulip falcon]

[wide thistle]

35 50 100 200

[crystal citrus]

oh dead ass?

[wide thistle]

That’s Highkey not bad at all

[unborn saffron]

its not

ive saved so much already

[crystal citrus]

even $200 is saving money

[wide thistle]

shi I’m dumb for just paying my shi 😭

[crystal citrus]

thats what im sayin

but like the fine aint even the issue

im just worried if they keep receipts and call the cops

[wide thistle]

Nah I don’t think so

[balmy quarry]

negotiate something with ur company to cover fare

[wide thistle]

fr if u full time u gotta have something

Luckily zon does but it’s not enough to cover full monthly cost

[balmy quarry]

loll what

how much a month?

[wide thistle]

I think it’s 280

[balmy quarry]

that's enough for me

[crystal citrus]

https://tenor.com/view/monster-versus-vs-alien-monster-vs-alien-gif-16037253809360562033

[wide thistle]

If ur going 5 days a week it’s not enough

[balmy quarry]

o tru

i didn't know zon was 5 days

yikes

[wide thistle]

Yeah it is now

[crystal citrus]

thats prob only intern comp tho no?

maybe they give more ft

[wide thistle]

It’s pre similar for ft

[balmy quarry]

doubt

[crystal citrus]

[crystal citrus]

https://tenor.com/view/ishowspeed-try-not-to-laugh-gif-7682731162751353849

[balmy quarry]

fire

[balmy quarry]

depending on where u live shop is deep

[wide thistle]

Nah 1000 monthly allowance they call it

[crystal citrus]

oh

blessed

[wide thistle]

It’s for “any” type of expense an intern may have

[crystal citrus]

[balmy quarry]

[crystal citrus]

[balmy quarry]

hybrid

[wide thistle]

hybrid

[crystal citrus]

oh shit

[wide thistle]

ft is remote tho

[balmy quarry]

fully remote seems so boring

[crystal citrus]

hybrid better

[wide thistle]

Lwk but it’s good later in your career

When u have a family and shi

[crystal citrus]

i like being face to face

[crystal citrus]

nah im a slacker remote

[wide thistle]

True but u can figure out to work like 4 hours a day and get by it

[balmy quarry]

real

[unreal field]

full remote is depresseing

[crystal citrus]

my manager dont know about the spoon method 🤫

[balmy quarry]

spoon method?

[crystal citrus]

you use teams?

[balmy quarry]

nah slack

[unreal field]

spoon with laptop in bed?

[crystal citrus]

[brisk surge]

Rip they told me that by end of last week theyd let me know but nothing so rip

[brisk surge]

[crystal citrus]

23 in this economy is disrespectful

[brisk surge]

In Ontario it’s insane

[balmy quarry]

[tulip falcon]

Yeah i didnt really understand their organization. They changed my interview timing but forgot to email me

[balmy quarry]

in kanata

[crystal citrus]

dodged a bullet

[tulip falcon]

And i get a call while in class about how i did not show up to the interview

[brisk surge]

Maybe if it was Alberta then it would’ve been fine

Does kinaxis pay good?

[balmy quarry]

[crystal citrus]

🤷‍♂️

[balmy quarry]

kinaxis is not that bad

[robust lotus]

30

[tulip falcon]

Yeah

[crystal citrus]

[balmy quarry]

[crystal citrus]

[balmy quarry]

ye pretty much

[brisk surge]

I think stripe is also pretty good too

[crystal citrus]

[balmy quarry]

[crystal citrus]

[brisk surge]

Bro Cisco doesn’t hire 4-8 months right ? Only 12-16 months I remember ?

[balmy quarry]

[crystal citrus]

[balmy quarry]

ottawa is kinda dead

[crystal citrus]

thats what im sayin

[brisk surge]

GTA

[crystal citrus]

[brisk surge]

I swear Nokia has like 6 million postings but never heard back 😭😭

[crystal citrus]

[brisk surge]

Ig

[crystal citrus]

you right tho

i almost got veeva last year

im a choke artist

[unborn saffron]

is this deck good

[left thicket]

Did anyone do Autodesk SWE Intern Toronto interview. I have first round interview with SDE Manager coming up

Would appreciate any insight into the process

[eager imp]

resume discussions + behaviourals for me

what team

[swift kernel]

what team

[little apex]

What team?

[eager imp]

API modernization or smth

[carmine cloak]

Wait really? What year, term, and prevs?

[balmy quarry]

sophmore, 2 prevs

45/hr

[carmine cloak]

92k is never heard of tbh

[balmy quarry]

rly?

[carmine cloak]

Highest I’ve seen is 83-85

I dont think they pay 92

Cuz C4 new grad is 100k

[balmy quarry]

im just relaying to u what i was told

[balmy quarry]

😭

does office maybe matter?

[carmine cloak]

46 including monthly allowance of 1k?

[balmy quarry]

i didn't ask him allat

[carmine cloak]

Nope, not in canada

[balmy quarry]

he js told me 45/hr

[carmine cloak]

I think it’s including allowance

Yeah

[balmy quarry]

i thought it was believable because im making 44/hr

[carmine cloak]

At shop?

[balmy quarry]

at a diff company interning

[carmine cloak]

Oh

45 is with allowance

[balmy quarry]

smaller company too btw

[balmy quarry]

oohhh ok

[lapis ledge]

anyone know when huawei gon be interviewing

[unreal field]

can we get a tc validation @crystal comet

[inland moss]

90 what, the annual?

I believe it has not changed since my offer, <4 internships is 80 annual

4 is more

Oh yeah

There are 84 and 87 tiers I think, I don’t remember the detail

[crystal comet]

84700 the highest tier

i heard of someone getting 1k bump on RO into this term

which made them 85700 + 1k/month

@inland holly ur saying ur person was making 102k/yr?

unless they're some insane unicorn candidate idts

[carmine cloak]

Yep

[carmine cloak]

Winter everyone had 73 i think

[crystal comet]

🤔

have u seen photo evidence of this

i don't think that's really enough reason

i know people who did winter and this fall and are normal pay scale

there were people in winter who got sub 100k C4 return offers lol

would be a bit ridiculous if interns were making more than that

was their first internship at shop before 2025

have they interned at some super cracked place

i don't think enough aura for them to be getting special pay band

that's weird then

🤷‍♂️

[wide thistle]

yeah this seems highly unlikely to me at shop for intern

canadian right?

[cloud quiver]

Hi, did anyone go through the Databricks Distributed System new grad role? I really need to ask some questions. There is not much on internet about this role. Can anyone please DM me or reply here?

[wide thistle]

is he one of those waterloo influencers lol

gives me hope for a better salary next summer

[inland moss]

just brutal

transfer to seattle when you can...

difference only grows bigger as you progress and canada has higher taxes lol

even higher at the very high end

[eager imp]

wait is this surprising or smth?

[safe light]

if u wanna play the faang rat race then yea go to seattle etc

higher than SDE2 doesn;t matter tbh cuz very few will make senior

[eager imp]

hows thst playing the rat race

isnt it the opposite

ur doing the same work but ur getting paid ~100k ish less

[safe light]

i mean if ur highest aspirations are faang

or some other american firm

[eager imp]

but ur alr working at amazon

thats the premise

wdym

[safe light]

wdym?

"but ur alr working at amazon"

[eager imp]

like theyre saying transfer to seattle asap if ur working at zon in canada

[safe light]

well u can't even if u wanted to

[eager imp]

why not?

[safe light]

L4 can't transfer

[eager imp]

u can after 6 months?

[safe light]

not to the USA

u need to be L5 + 1 year minium

and likely u wont find

cuz no one sponsors

[unreal field]

yeah like if u could’ve transferred to Zon USA from Canada everyone and their mom would’ve already done that

[eager imp]

u dont need sponsorship tho theres TN

[safe light]

imo why not just work for remote usa tech that pays similar in canada instead of chasing faang,

or ideally start ur own firm

[unreal field]

But makes sense why yyz is so populous as is

[eager imp]

which us tech pays similar in cad tho

[safe light]

tn or h1b the req is the same for transfer

[eager imp]

damn crazy

zon really cheaping out

[safe light]

airbnb etc

[eager imp]

my problem with that is then im confined to like the smallest niche of companies

[safe light]

netflix

etc

meta matched b4, idk if they still do for canada

[unreal field]

Amazon saves Canada

[eager imp]

the day canada pay improves across the board is the day im moving here permanently instantly

[safe light]

yeah but it sucks

[safe light]

make ur own shit bro

why wait for another person to pay u what ur worth

[eager imp]

u mean make a startup?

rn?

[safe light]

yeah or saas or whatever

[eager imp]

this the most saturated time for a startup in the history of the planet bruh

[safe light]

for ai sure

but u dont need to do ai

[eager imp]

chances of getting funding without ai is shit tho
