We aren't even in a recession yet

[tight gale]

In tfsa

[vivid fiber]

Recession is 2 qs of economic decline

So we'll know soon

[storm stream]

Yeeee

I hold VGRO

80% stocks, much more diversified

less risk than pure S&P

[steel escarp]

Hmmm

I will fill in w vgro then

If i lose then ill blame u

[tight gale]

i do vgro too, the whole point of etfs though is to just be consistent about it, you dont really have to think about which one to hold

[storm stream]

I wish I had the balls to go vfv

[steel escarp]

I thought that too till i looked at tecl and soxl

[tight gale]

yea i mean the main ones lol

[storm stream]

oh quant WLB is not good?

I'm useless at that shit

[tight gale]

[tight gale]

was also looking at: https://www.greatcanadianrebates.ca/details/Amex-Marriott-Bonvoy/

50k points

[storm stream]

is that good? I don't know much about non aeroplan points

[tight gale]

idk TBH i just started but it seemed to be popular on rfd, but it was 65k points before

i will probably wait when 65k gets offered again

[storm stream]

I assume you know about https://www.reddit.com/r/churningcanada/

way better than rfd

[tight gale]

interesting thanks ill take a look

is this how people get into cc debt

[storm stream]

LOOOOL

No most of these people are quite savvy and responsible

they just obsessed with these points lmao

[ruby fossil]

well the more debt you get the more points you get

[storm stream]

dude some of the threads are mind blowing... people like bagging 300k point in a year and doing an around-the-world trip basically for free

It's insane

[tight gale]

yep travelling to new places is something i want to start doing which is why i started looking at cc rewards

[storm stream]

Niiiiiiiice... travelling is the best do it

[frozen umbra]

Has anyonne received their Tn, and thenn changed their start date? is that evenn possible?

[gloomy nymph]

Do you have to specify your start date?

[frozen umbra]

yes

LOL

[frozen umbra]

Your TN validity period starts the day of your start date, and you can only enter 10 days before the validity period starts... I fucked up annd booked everything, including my corporate housing, 14 days before the start

ur suburban area no one realy knows like ajax ontario will probs drop 200k

[ornate sigil]

I thought i had a fighting chacne makign 6 figs too Momo

but after curnching down the numbers, I realized I dont

but its whateveer, not planning to settle anyway

[storm stream]

no ruuuuuuuuuussssshhhhhhh

you young

[barren sinew]

Yea

[storm stream]

besides you wanna be mobile and not tie yourself down to one area

[worldly ridge]

Yup thats me curently

[worldly ridge]

go to nyc than tor

vanc is realy nice though

[cursive blaze]

just go live in sask

super cheap xD

[worldly ridge]

[storm stream]

vanc is gorj... but a shoebox is 1.5mil

[worldly ridge]

Ill live in a 3rld world country with remote work

[barren sinew]

Yea. There's definitely a hiking and outdoorsy culture

[storm stream]

[worldly ridge]

toronto is a shoebox for 1.4 mil

[storm stream]

unfortunately that comes with 3rd world internet

[cursive blaze]

saskatoon is actually really nice imo

[worldly ridge]

LOL DUDE i have ethe same feeling man

LMAO

[barren sinew]

Im moving to Seattle and Vancouver prices have made me numb from sticker shock. Im lookibg at 600k apartments like "What a steal!"

[storm stream]

why yall wanna buy a house

[worldly ridge]

i do not like to be tied down to something for more than 25-30 eyars

[storm stream]

i'm like if I'm not living somewhere for at least 3 years I ain't buying

maybe 5

[cursive blaze]

just buy a car great investment

real talk tho I got a new ish mazda cx5 and it's price has increased like 6k since i bought it

[worldly ridge]

nah im just scared of housing prices reaching very unnafordable in the future because of no government regulation on corporation buying houses :l

but i agree with u momo

shouldnt buy a house if u dont plan to stay for long

[storm stream]

yeah that's fair

[worldly ridge]

luciklymy paretns have a house, so ill just live there when i retire ithink

[storm stream]

just out-earn inflation

[cursive blaze]

if u save for a house tho you'll be fine

[worldly ridge]

I hope so 🙏 but the recent price icnrease and the unchcked housing crisis that has been happening /worsening for decades makes me feel skeptical, atleast thats my pov

[cursive blaze]

fair but aren't prices actually starting to go down rn?

[worldly ridge]

theres a catch

mortgage rates are hiked up

[cursive blaze]

well yeah but I mean if you aren't buying soon then let the prices fall

[worldly ridge]

you better hope you dont lose your job in a recession on an economic downturn and have a lot of savings

[cursive blaze]

buy when the rates drop xD

[worldly ridge]

yeah thats the plan, but people are still skeptical about that becaue it dosent address the real problem of investors/corporations buying out houses with no regulatino so people arent thinking that its going to drop a lot and hot spots like vanc/tor will stagnate atleast

[cursive blaze]

yeah true I think tech is generally safe ish if you are at a stable company

all the layoffs were companies that overhired and ran off vc funding

[worldly ridge]

sorry i jsut went down the rabbit hole of canadian housing after i got my bag 💀

yeah for sure

[cursive blaze]

legit idk how Bolt got valued at 11b with 50m arr lmao

[worldly ridge]

rest in piece coinbase

[cursive blaze]

man crypto always felt like a ponzi scheme to me

[worldly ridge]

its becasue it is

looks like u didnt invest in it though

so good on you

[cursive blaze]

yep just way too risky

and there's no 'real' value behind half these coins

like 99% of the coins were valued based on someone saying "bro trust me"

[worldly ridge]

yeah prety much just like nfts

dont kill me crypto bros

[cursive blaze]

here's what I think of nfts

[tropic moth]

Why isn't this new grad?
It says 0-2

[vivid fiber]

Early in Career != New Grad

Early in Career is usually for people who have already graduated and may have a bit of experience

Whereas New Grad is for people about to graduate

Obviously, this differs from company to company as well. But iirc Splunk usually has a specific New Grad role as well.

[tropic moth]

Oh I see thanks

Any TC estimates for this role?

Not too sur if thats true tho, cause it's extremely high

But I'd imagine at least 120k+ cad

i havent gotten anything for this summer

so i just applied for the fall

i just got done with my first year

[barren sinew]

Is this in lieu of taking the lum sum 7k relo package?

[barren sinew]

Aren't most coops in Canada offered year round?

[worn moss]

What uni

[barren sinew]

Yea. Idk about other unis but the vast majority of 1 coops at my school are at random local companies or even QA

[thick sinew]

utm

[worn moss]

Damn most cracked utm first year student I’ve seen

[thick sinew]

I just got an interview for rbc

the thing is its for the 12 month pos

literally like 30 minutes ago

oh yea true

unless I ask them to shift it to start in the spring

and then take PEY in second year since id have internships for the full 16 months

really?

i can see why ig its still 12 months yea

did u take PEY?

icic

ur at like amazon rn right

i see

ohh nice

quant moment

how was the interview

is it a 12 month position?

oh i see

yea for sure

really?

my dad used to recruit for rbc

he said they ask sql questions

sort of

he knew someone

he doesnt work there anymore

[placid dawn]

plot twist

[thick sinew]

damn

thats not bad

actually? wtf

interesting

discussion LOL

interesting

I thought they just went all out with multiple technicals

and then just leave

yea thats not a bad plan

:D

thanks for the advice man

[fluid surge]

i have an interview with RBC for dev intern in 4 hours 😒

hopefully it's leet code

i dont know anything else

[placid dawn]

i got auto reject by rbc

can ur dad help me

[fluid surge]

yeah fall

4 months!

[frozen umbra]

No, you get the 7.5k relocation as well as corporate housing

[fluid surge]

the job should be remote but havent confirmed

it's in toronto. i don't think i'd relocate

is it a bad idea to quit an internship after 4 months if they give you 8 months though

feels like burning bridges ?

but you def gotta do what you gotta do i guess

i think SAP only does 8 month work terms

[frozen umbra]

nope

SAP does 4 month as well

[fluid surge]

ohhh

[frozen umbra]

But i thikn the vancouver office onnly does 8 month

[fluid surge]

sap would look nice on resume x)

ya vancouver office

[frozen umbra]

The waterloo office does 4 month

source, I worked there

Not at meta rn

but will be in July

why

[fluid surge]

browsing linkeidn, it seems like ppl get really nice internships after rbc or sap :>

[frozen umbra]

Just work at SS&C

All my friends who interned there are all at FAANG

[willow cedar]

chill out dogesmile

you get the message

[tight gale]

My friends dont lc unfortunately

[frozen umbra]

Hes talking about you being a grammar nazi

[willow cedar]

^

[frozen umbra]

The message is that multiple people went, but I was typing fast and forgot my s

gtfo

[tight gale]

Arent we canadians supposed to be nice

[fluid surge]

do you guys do follow-up emails 1 week after the interview? 😦

job hunting / interviews is exhausting

[tight gale]

Generally that's what I hear

Except if its google they take a long ass time

[fluid surge]

it's not a big company. i just want to secure something to not have to do more interviews

haha

[frozen umbra]

if its for a job I dont super care for, ill just ignore and say I got rejected

[fluid surge]

oh ok 😦

[frozen umbra]

If its a job i somewhat care for, ill email

[willow cedar]

I only do so if i feel the interview went well, if not idc

[fluid surge]

ill just ask for a applicatio status update

interview went well but they gave me the IQ test after

not sure how i scored on that lol

it's called the CCAC where they make you identify patterns of shapes and stuff ..

[willow cedar]

IQ test??

[frozen umbra]

I emailed my meta recruiter like once per day, making sure they're still on track with my timeline

[fluid surge]

CCAT***

they're called mirantis

they own docker enterprise

they make you answer these types of q

[willow cedar]

yikes

[fluid surge]

15 minutes to answer as many as possible

[frozen umbra]

seems stupid

[fluid surge]

id rather do leet code

[willow cedar]

good luck, personally i would've dropped as soon as i saw this

imagine doing an interview and they're like, forget the interview we just had; do an iq test

[fluid surge]

i think RBC had some weird online assessment last year where you have to memorize flashing light patterns?!?1

[thick sinew]

Mental math assessment 😳😳

Quant interview sounds cool

It’s like human benchmark

[fluid surge]

omg

no calculator?!?!

thats nuts

7/168

i think

nvm

im crazy

[tight gale]

Did you multiply them together

I've gotten these twice but I just use a calculator tbh

[thick sinew]

are you allowed to use paper

[tight gale]

The platforms I've used was just an OA platform not a video call

[thick sinew]

or just straight up thinking

[oblique crater]

save the thank you email for another day

right after feels like it's a scripted move

[tight gale]

It was designed to be, theres a disclaimer not to use a calculator at the start

[whole quartz]

Has anyone done any Hatchways.io assessments, they seem odd? I applied to a few jobs, never got an in person interview. Just a link to hatchways.io, they're pretty long and hard for an assessment where I've talked to no one.

[fluid surge]

ugh i got a job offer today

but rbc wont get back to me until early next week

what should i do

@weak gazelle

[frozen umbra]

when does it expire?

and rly enjoyed group projects

[frozen umbra]

Damn

My group projects were all my coding labs ;-;

[ornate sigil]

i’m hinting at the community feel

of a marketing class

vs a cs class

vibes were much nicer

i went to a cs lab one time and some random guy sat next to me and talked about different linux distros for 10 minutes straight

i think he rly wanted to get his hot takes off his chest and used me as a proxy to vent

[frozen umbra]

Yikes

Most people who came to talk to me asked for help

[ornate sigil]

marketing, i got paired up w a girl from sweden and we spent 30 min preparing a pitch for coca cola

[oblique crater]

the vibes in any non cs class are usually dope

[ornate sigil]

bro marketing @ uog

take me back

[frozen umbra]

But I’m not sharing cause embarrassing

[oblique crater]

but that's cause people are carefree and not grinding for TC at 20

[frozen umbra]

True

[oblique crater]

any arts faculty class I did I really enjoy, they're easy and most people are just there to learn

[ornate sigil]

there’s a video of 10yo me pretending to be harry potter and adding shit post production in adobe after effects

[frozen umbra]

Bro you make music

That’s pretty sick

[fluid surge]

i think people on this discord are especially hardcore with the grinding

[ornate sigil]

ya it’s like a hobby i’ve had for a decade now

[ornate sigil]

oh yea

this place is insane

if it wasn’t for this place i wouldn’t be at meta rn tbh

[fluid surge]

i wish i discovered this channel last year 😦

haha

[frozen umbra]

I joined this during my meta process

[ornate sigil]

[fluid surge]

wth do you do with 230

cant imagine

[frozen umbra]

Most of its from signing bonus

[ornate sigil]

meta on-site was harder than google imo

[frozen umbra]

My meta on-site was so easy

[ornate sigil]

robinhood on-site was the hardest

atlassian was the easiest

[frozen umbra]

But I only had 1 on-site

[tight gale]

how long did you wait for googles response after onsite?

[prime osprey]

what was ur prep like?

[fluid surge]

were these FT interviews or internships?

[frozen umbra]

I cancelled my salesforce on-site

[ornate sigil]

2 weeks

[tight gale]

[ornate sigil]

Snapcommerce

[fluid surge]

id kill for JUST amazon

[ornate sigil]

they really pushed me there

i worked on services with 1000 qps

[tight gale]

there is def some disconnect between avg cs student and people from this discord lol

[ornate sigil]

which was scary

[fluid surge]

would you guys choose an internship that's relatively unknown or an intership that has a more recognized name

[ornate sigil]

ye i picked meta over google

[fluid surge]

and relatively unknown you learn more

[ornate sigil]

😎😎😎😎

[fluid surge]

and cooler tasks

[ornate sigil]

early career Ws

[frozen umbra]

[frozen umbra]

I think they use your behavioural to decide if they give rockstar or not

[fluid surge]

to land the juicy internships

[frozen umbra]

At least that’s what I think

[ornate sigil]

yes

[fluid surge]

gdi

[ornate sigil]
