[ornate sigil]

we go sf michelin star

[frozen umbra]

And steal my gfs sign on to treat us

[ornate sigil]

😈

i was watching hell’s kitchen or smth

there was a guest chef cro

he has some fancy restaurants in sf

i can envision 1 elite day of ripping to SF for da weekend and just scoping out all da elite restaurants

[fluid surge]

wtf five on-site

imagine pre-covid where you had to do the interviews in-person

must've been wild

[spring wren]

anyone get any response from salesforce thing?

[ornate sigil]

five on-site is rough

but goog gives u nice breaks in between

my longest break was 2 hours

atlassian is back to back to back

[fluid surge]

brutal............

even 1 interview is exhausting

[ornate sigil]

call me a masochist

but i like interviewing

[frozen umbra]

What salesforce thinng

[ornate sigil]

ahh my guy charged up da phone

[spring wren]

the futureforce summit

[ornate sigil]

citadel moving hq to miami

🤔

[spring wren]

rip 😦 never getting oas

is that how most ppl get it? i thought usually doesnt work and they just tell u to cold apply

[frozen umbra]

the fuck is the summit

[frozen umbra]

yup

oh thats pretty cool, too bad they cancelled fall interns

[novel dome]

can u dm email to me too

[fluid surge]

anyone ever negotiate their intern offer? it's currently $25 / hour. How can I push it to $ 27

hahahaha

i just read this from doing a quick search: "Like its so minuscule and apparently some dude in this chat got rejected cuz of trying to negotiate intern pay"

[frozen umbra]

yes I have

idk if thats your first internship/whatever, but I just asked for more, basically gave themm a number (40/hr) and said that I had like 5 internships before already, so if you give me that much, ill instantly accept

The other times I negotiated, I just said im a returning intern, so give me more, and they upped my pay up, tho im sure that this doesnt help you since the offer isnt a return intern offer

[fluid surge]

ok fk it

im going to give it a shot

what a boss!

[frozen umbra]

Theres no harm in asking if they can increase it

Its very unnlikely someone will rescinnd an offer because you asked to nnego

And if they do, thats a big red flag

most will try to find a middle ground

[novel dome]

Ask for like and they will most likely reach at 27/28

[fluid surge]

i asked for 28. didnt want to push it hahaha

[tight gale]

Google is 3 technical now

[untold nebula]

yes i have

I've basically said given my previous experience and the research ive done on similar companies I'd feel like my compensation would align better within the range of (low-high)

you don't have to give a range, but that's what ive done

generally you should ask for more than what you want

cause most likely they won't be able to reach it and compromise and give you a little lower than what asked

what they don't know is that's what you wanted all along 😈

[fluid surge]

omg puff is a negotiating king

i just wrote this :

Also, I had a few questions regarding the position as follows:

1. Will I be provided with a laptop while working at the company?
2. What are the standard working hours? i.e. 9 am to 5 pm Eastern time ( I live in Vancouver B.C. so my time zone is in Pacific time but I am definitely okay with starting work earlier to stay in sync with the rest of the team. I am just curious)
3. Given that it is my third work term, would it be possible to raise my hourly rate by three dollars to $ 28 / hour?

im lame

[untold nebula]

ask for 30 or something lol

[fluid surge]

sent already 😦

[untold nebula]

also check glassdoor to see how much you can push it

damn

[fluid surge]

damn puff is beast

should've waited 5 minutes before sending

[untold nebula]

always ask for a raise/negotiate

ive always negociated over the phone/google meet

i find that its better than through email, since you're talking in real time. Kinda puts more pressure on them to get you what you're asking for

[fluid surge]

damn thats impressive

do you ask if you could call the HR person?

[untold nebula]

i would email the recruiter/hr person and ask to setup a phone call/ google meeting to clear up any questions i had before accepting the offer

this is after they've sent me the offer letter btw

[fluid surge]

ohhh

gdi i have a lot to learn

[ornate sigil]

puff elite

[fluid surge]

Mirantis. they own docker enterprise

[knotty nova]

Nice

[fluid surge]

2nd D=

are you waterloo as well

[vivid fiber]

They didn't last year

So prob not

[flint scroll]

hey

[frozen umbra]

im like 70% sure I saw stripe while looking throughh the waterloo job board, so Im pretty sure they do

[vivid fiber]

Nah that's prob loo specific

[fickle juniper]

this fall??

[vivid fiber]

Cause I went to a recruiter event for Stripe last year, and they said they only for Winter/Summer

[vivid fiber]

Loo has exclusive internships

Like Uber for ex

[fickle juniper]

loo too op

[frozen umbra]

Yeah

[frozen umbra]

Oh damn okie

[placid dawn]

thats kool

i think the best my uni has is blackberry

[worn moss]

yo how do you guys answer the cisco meraki form

i heard they auto reject if u put u need sponsorship

but thing is

they hire canadians

so im confused on how that works

[placid dawn]

do u got to loo and have 3.9 gpa

also helps if ur dad works there u know

[frozen umbra]

They do not auto reject

Just fill it normally

[worn moss]

welp too late applied + did oa

every1 ik gets auto rejected unless they apply from waterlooworks so i just said im eligible

and will mention it in the interview process that i need sponsorship if i acc get there

whats their response like when they figure out

i also said my grad date is anticipated 2025

im graduating 2027

[frozen umbra]

They force you to apply through their job portal even if they posted in Waterloo works

[worldly ridge]

u just made me feel old

[ornate sigil]

fax

loo grads feasting

[frozen umbra]

But only like 5 people out of all CS + Engineering get it

so you kinda need to be good in loo

[ornate sigil]

dam

gwelf got exclusive NCR internships

[frozen umbra]

For people already in the Bay area, what was the process like in converting your canadian license to a Cali one

I really dont wanna parallel park again

[ornate sigil]

i thought u have to retake the thing

[worn moss]

being the best in loo is significantly easier then being the best in the world yk

depends in what sense

acc nvm yea ur right now that i think abt it

from what ive seen uw has the best competitive programmers, best industry mindset ppl(ppl with cracked internships but this could just be selection bias cause I haven't seen US ppl linkedin's nearly as much)

[tight gale]

If there was a public poll in general or 2023 grads for best internship program do you think waterloo would win

[worn moss]

thing is there are so many factors that come into play for getting internships/industry experiences it just seems unrealistic to pin it at the school

like if u cant leetcode and dont/cant get good side projects and grind apps then ur school will never come to the point that it matters

[tight gale]

Imo waterloo is the best cs school in canada but I dont think you can claim best in the world

[worn moss]

realistically what would som1 do to have the best resume by the time graduating @ uw

[worn moss]

i think hes specifically talking in the sense of industry

[placid dawn]

bru i heard ppl get offers in loo just by breathing

[worn moss]

nah ik 2 ppl

who did it

bloomberg

and bmo global markets

[tight gale]

So a waterloo student has better likely outcome than vs like Stanford ucb CM etc

[frozen umbra]

People can, just unlikely

[worn moss]

i def think for the average student yes(cause ur forced into 6 internships), but idk about the best student. I always thought the best students at us schools are just insane and 10x better then uw's top students

[tight gale]

Best Waterloo students> best students in US t10 schools?

[frozen umbra]

You guys need to stop comparing students

It really doesnt matter which university

If your a good student, youll make it

[tight gale]

What about from SAWCON college

[frozen umbra]

most of the UW students you see are the successful ones

theres like a thousand that graduate in the engineering + CS programs

The average student doesnt grind that hard, and probably wont do that well

[worn moss]

anyway how do i become the best @ uw @weak gazelle what do you think makes som1 the best

cause like most ppl are able to land the companies they want by 4th year regardless so y would it acc matter

for example if ur first 4 internships are insane but ur endgoal is google then u prolly didint need 4 cracked internships cause ur able to pull it off with only 2 cracked internships regardless

idk if this acc makes sense but like im just tryna say that the "best" is like relative and most ppl end up getting what they want regardless by grinding towards it

[fickle juniper]

bruh do u mind if I dm about your technical?

[lament trench]

yeah sure np

[ornate sigil]

u got dmoj?

[worn moss]

nah never grinded dmoj only cf and lc

[ornate sigil]

or are u cf

ah word

[worn moss]

yea im not that into competitive programming either

more of a math head

[ornate sigil]

tru

dmoj shit way harder than lc

lc is strictly interview prep material

dmoj is the actual giga brain IOI prep

[worn moss]

the stuff i cant do

[ornate sigil]

do u know sparse tables

that’s 20 points

[worn moss]

no

[ornate sigil]

40 points is fuckerino

my buddy went to IOI twice

he’s insane

[worn moss]

crackedddd whats he doing now

[ornate sigil]

he was at uber atg, rippling and hrt

now uhh

[worn moss]

oh shit lmao

cmu?

[ornate sigil]

citadel

living it up

[worn moss]

oh nvm LMAO ik an IOI who went uber -> rippling -> rippling -> HRT -> masters @ cmu

[ornate sigil]

wait

we might be talking bout same guy

he is doing a masters at cmu

[worn moss]

ah i think his name was joey?

[ornate sigil]

yep

[worn moss]

yea hes cracked cracked

uber first year

[ornate sigil]

we wrote his* first contest together on a team of like 3

🫣🫣🫣🫣

and now he’s op asf

his growth was legit exponential

i’ve never seen anyone just breeze through learning cs like him

[placid dawn]

it be like that

[ornate sigil]

ccc was a cakewalk for this guy

literally finished like an hour early

[worn moss]

meanwhile i barely get distinctions

[ornate sigil]

in your defence

ccc has gotten pretty hard, maybe compared to like 2010

ur expected to know shit like seg trees, rolling hash, bitmask dp

[worn moss]

nah im just not like that like i can solve up to s3 but thats it

[ornate sigil]

bro in 2010

[worn moss]

like ik ppl who literally do this stuff everyday and solve s5's like nothing

[ornate sigil]

s5 was like dijkstra

[worn moss]

bro u did 2010...

how old r u wtf

[ornate sigil]

nah

i did a lot of ccc problems for fun

[worn moss]

https://github.com/MohammedAl-Rasheed/CCC-Solutions-CPlus

look at the grind..

[ornate sigil]

i did 2015 and 2016

i’m a newgrad

but i still do dmoj for fun

[worn moss]

i acc didint even do s4's or s5's dont know y i acc thought i had a chance at doing good on ccc

[ornate sigil]

do them on dmoj

[worn moss]

where u at for ng or r u still applying

[ornate sigil]

i got a few offers but eventually went with meta

[worn moss]

y does everyone go meta from uw

[ornate sigil]

i’m not @ uw

[worn moss]

oh shit

what uni

[ornate sigil]

guelph

💀

[worn moss]

crackeddd lmao guelph -> meta is uncommon + its acc hella nice + good food

[ornate sigil]

i partied a bit too hard in hs and thought my ccc would carry

initially i was kinda upset about it

but then i was flying though school and had so much free time

[worn moss]

i got carried by online school(for grade 11, grade 12 was in person)

[ornate sigil]

ahh online school

gr9 and 10 don’t count no one cares

u going to uw?

[worn moss]

lmao it was more like once covid hit i had nothing to do so i would just code all day + study for school, there we're no good video games at the time

[ornate sigil]

meta is rly good early career

i picked it over goog and some others

[worn moss]

i got rejected for cs, got ce and math, chose math

[ornate sigil]

ya math from uw is a good degree

if u take some cs, u will get cs jobs afaik or quant

quant is fucked

ask joey 💀

[worn moss]

y tho like i would rather work at wealthsimple, robinhood, uber, stripe etc.

[ornate sigil]

uber was my dream

[worn moss]

like i dont c y ppl go for big tech over smaller companies with better pay

[ornate sigil]

rh was going so well

[fluid surge]

but arent the smaller profitless companies

kinda fked rn

[ornate sigil]

until i got sys design round

[fluid surge]

and the job is less stable as we've seen

job security*

[vivid fiber]

Y Wealthsimple?

[ornate sigil]

bro glhf getting a stripe interview

[vivid fiber]

Also Y Robinhood?

[ornate sigil]

wealthsimple pay is ass

and they’re laying off

[vivid fiber]

It's a dead company at this point lol

[ornate sigil]

uber is still goated

but they literally only hire ex faang is2g

[placid dawn]

jesus christ yall cracked as fuck

[vivid fiber]

Uber? Nah they don't

[placid dawn]

yall can carry on this convo in blind

[ornate sigil]

i never hear back from uber

or lyft

[vivid fiber]

Me neither lol

[ornate sigil]

i literally heard back from everyone

even netflix

but no apple uber

[vivid fiber]

I didn't hear back from most

[ornate sigil]

i got 11k blind points

[vivid fiber]

Wya rn?

[ornate sigil]

[vivid fiber]

Damn ur goated

What did u have before to hear back from everyone?

[worn moss]

eh theyre dying but like its the idea im tryna get to

small companies with good pay and good growth potential like AtoB, Canal, Check, mercury etc.

(im kinda into finance thats y im listing finance companies lol cause idk abt other startups)

[ornate sigil]

aws & snapcommerce

[vivid fiber]

Ahhh aws

Makes sense

[ornate sigil]

tho

i heard back from jane st

when i had 1 no name internship

but they asked me a lc hard and i wasn’t ready atm

[worn moss]

i thought netflix only hires from target schools

[placid dawn]

do u dream in python

[ornate sigil]

maybe non tech

[ornate sigil]

nope

[worn moss]

wtf

[placid dawn]

should be ceo

[ornate sigil]

i came up w a rolling hash sol for a dmoj question in my sleep woke up and did it

got AC

[vivid fiber]

Idk, everyone has their own career path

I think it's rude to call it sad

[placid dawn]

dont even know wtf that is

[worn moss]

wait @ornate sigil how u getting these? like netflix and js are insane like they have really harsh resume screening did u reach or do anything special?

[ornate sigil]

sequence matching

[vivid fiber]

Ya wtf is dmoj

[ornate sigil]

i put dmoj on my resume lol

[worn moss]

ahh thats y

[ornate sigil]

had some interesting projects

i also have a startup that i left

but that wasn’t there for js

i started it in late 2019

[worn moss]

js loves cp, if u acc have something insane to talk about like ioi or cco or smthg like that

it carries

[placid dawn]

will u adopt me

[ornate sigil]

ya i gotchu

tbh i’m not that good at dmoj

[placid dawn]

ok send addy

omw

[ornate sigil]

my highest question is 20 points

💀

the max on the site is 50

i don’t even understand what to do for some of those

[placid dawn]

u should try sliding window bro thats shit hard af

[untold nebula]

omae elite

[worn moss]

huh

sliding window is light

[ornate sigil]

rolling hash is used when sliding window too slow

💀

[worn moss]

literally just
start = 0
end = len(n) - 1

[placid dawn]

😱

[worn moss]

rest is easy

[placid dawn]

ok but how about two sum

impossible

[worn moss]

ur right

idk

[ornate sigil]

there’s a dmoj question

that looks like a sliding window problem

[worn moss]

@ornate sigil

[placid dawn]

1 sum

[ornate sigil]

but

[worn moss]

might be able to solve it

[ornate sigil]

if u do sliding window

it’s TLE

CCC ‘20 S3

[placid dawn]

bbc?

[ornate sigil]

https://dmoj.ca/problem/ccc20s3

this problem is harder than it looks

[worn moss]

substring = input()
totalString = input()
permutations = set(itertools.permutations(substring))
count = 0
for string in permutations:
  if ("".join(string) in totalString):
    count += 1

[ornate sigil]

u tried a ting boss 😂

got that northbound of O(N!*M) runtime

[worn moss]

sad life out here

competitive programming sucks if something works it works why does it need to be fast

[ornate sigil]

there’s 200 test cases

[placid dawn]

is erricto good

so basically those guys can pass any faang interview like cake

[ornate sigil]

yea

unless they some how do really bad on behavioural

even then they will get an offer

[vivid fiber]

Isn't this sliding window plus hashmap?

I can think of an answer thats O(26n)

n being the length of H

[ornate sigil]

nah

[vivid fiber]

Damn, what's the answer then?

[ornate sigil]

have a look at the editorial for a break down

but ultimately it boils down to using a rolling hash algo

[vivid fiber]

Oh my answer was correct

Tho my time complexity was wrong lol

[ornate sigil]

too slow

[vivid fiber]

Oh sad 😔

These dmoj qs r next level, damn

[ornate sigil]

this one’s only 12 points

wait till you see what 40 point problems look like

[worn moss]

take in this y like waterloo kids are cracked

cause this is what they do all day

in high school

[ornate sigil]

not all

[worn moss]

so they acc get by technicals hellllllla easy in uni

[ornate sigil]

i know a lot of waterloo seng grads who can’t do dmoj level stuff

[worn moss]

i mean every dmoj insane person goes to uoft and uw

[ornate sigil]

they’re still great programmers and very smart

[worn moss]

yea no im not saying that

im saying like all dmoj kids go to uw thus uw kids tend to be cracked

[ornate sigil]

yea

top 10% of uw are insane

no one else here scales except maybe uoft

i know some dumbasses too dw

[worn moss]

cause bro if ur good at dmoj and ur usaco plat and ur cco ur not gonna have a hard time getting an internship cause u literally just need to get by the resume screen

[ornate sigil]

cco is 20 people

that’s crème de la crème

i’m talking about average uw grad who got in with good grades and average passion for coding

yep

UW more applied

and coop focused

gwelf coop focused too 😎

reach!

[vivid fiber]

U don't have to be insane to get into uoft

Waterloo is the tough one imo

I knew only one kid from my hs year who got into waterloo cs.

[ornate sigil]

remember when just getting into a uni was considered elite

reach guelph for community feel!

[vivid fiber]

Oh well I applied like 3 yeats ago lol

Things must've changed

Ya which is prob y I got in

I didn't go cause I knew I couldn't make it past post

[timid tartan]

No way lol

Post was not as bad as ppl have said

[vivid fiber]

An 80% fail rate is pretty bad

Also I hate studying

I'm at Queen's rn

And you can legit get decebt marks without studying

[ornate sigil]

do u know kymed

for those that went through summer 2022 internship recruiting, did you get super busy with interviews from september to october? approx. how many hours did you devote for grinding leet code + going through interviews?

i'll be doing co-op at that time + taking 1 cpsc course and 1 elective

hopefully thats not too bad

thank you

[frozen umbra]

What school do you go to?

[fluid surge]

ubc

[frozen umbra]

Personally when I was finding jobs, it got busy during January/February. But that’s cause I didn’t look externally and only through my schools job board

[fluid surge]

oh yeah i heard waterloo has waterloo specific jobs 😦

thats so awesome lol

[frozen umbra]

It got busy cause I had lots of interviews + assignments, rather than doing any prep for leetcode, but yeah I might be the exception

[fluid surge]

so MANGA had summer 2022 job postings that opened in January strictly for waterloo students right

[frozen umbra]

Yeah

[fluid surge]

ohhhhh i see

[frozen umbra]

Well Facebook Apple and Amazon did

Google was always external

[fluid surge]

ive heard that in general, job postings for summer will be opened in July/ August. OAs in August / September and interviews in September/ October haha

[frozen umbra]

Ngl, I’m not sure how hard your courses and where your coop is, but it shouldn’t be that busy, and if you budget your time correctly, you should always have like 1-2 hours of time to be able to do leetcode

And if your worried, just start early

[fluid surge]

that's true. There was def down time in my previous co-op where I could do other stuff lolol. Thanks for the awesome advice 🙏🏻 Will def start grinding now

has anyone here been through the j-1 visa application process before?

is it retarded to apply to US companies and say I dont need sponsorship and just sort it out when (if) I get an offer

a brother is desperate for a fall internship

[untold nebula]

Is meraki autoreject for Canadians?

[frozen umbra]

No

[frozen umbra]

No

Typically they’ll put you in their Canadian payroll if they have one

[spring wren]

should i bother applying to amazon us or i have to wait for canadian postings for it?

not sure if it would affect any cooldown

[frozen umbra]

Wait for Canadian

It’s pretty hard for Canadians to get Amazon us, or at least that’s what I experienced

[spring wren]

yeah

should i still apply? it wont affect my canadian applications right

[novel dome]

Does amazon us auto reject if ur canadian?

[frozen umbra]

I think it does

[prisma garnet]

To buy a new one 👍

[storm stream]

pelican case or something like it

I would take GPU and any mechanical drives out tho

[tight gale]

Oo yea pelicans are solid I use one for my rifle

[storm stream]

you awping irl bro?

[tight gale]

Nah just casual range fun

[storm stream]

how was the licensing process

[tight gale]

Pal and rpal classes were easy I'm not sure how one would fail

It took like ~5 or 6 months after I submitted my documents though to process

[cursive blaze]

Pal class is actually fun to take

I took it on a whim with a friend and really enjoyed it

[tight gale]

Yep it's a shame firearm owners are marginalized in canada, gets all the heat from US shootings

[storm stream]

they're marginalized?

[tight gale]

In the sense that firearms have no power in canada and laws are being enacted to screw them over

Like the ar15 ban

Meanwhile this is unrestricted and you can buy without registering

Tavor tar21

[storm stream]

is that finnish

[tight gale]

Isreali

[storm stream]

that's sketchy

they should ban that one too

[tight gale]

I mean they shouldnt ban any of them

[vapid oracle]

Remember, your network is your net worth.

[frozen umbra]

i just watched the RWBY ice queendom super episode

seems pretty mid

[fluid surge]

so i was in the co-op program but found an internship outside of the job postings. I declined an interview today and that company told my co-op coordinator that I found something else

they're probably going to make me pay the $ 800 co-op fees now 😒

sigh

[frozen umbra]

tf, ubc doesnt put it in your tuition?

[fluid surge]

i think that happens after ive found work

i wonder if i can just drop out of the program

unlike waterloo, ubc doesnt have special MANGA postings

[tight gale]

Drop if you dont need it to grad

For engineering you need coop

[fluid surge]

ok im dropping it 😦 hopefully he doesnt make me pay the fees haha

since i looked at their postings and applied to one job

[storm stream]

how hard is it to get back in for next season?

[fluid surge]

oh , i dont plan on going back in

[storm stream]

staying in coop might be good to avoid interest on loans

[fluid surge]

oh thats true

[frozen umbra]

if your coop is only for 4 month

it doesnt matter

If its more than 4 month

then yeah, youll need to apply for interest free status

[fluid surge]

For most federal student loan types, after you graduate, leave school, or drop below half-time enrollment, you have a six-month grace period (sometimes nine months for Perkins Loans) before you must begin making payments.

oh yeah should be fine

[fluid surge]

omg

he recommends that we have a quick chat before i make my decision

xD

D=

oh phew, he said it's fine ❤️

this is also something to consider: https://www.reddit.com/r/cscareerquestions/comments/mobebt/possible_to_get_a_j1_visa_as_a_part_time_student/

[placid dawn]

will IBM catch me if I apply with diff emails and resumes

[dark lintel]

Did g Canada open yet

My brain have serious trouble finding openings on google career site

🗿

[frozen umbra]

For internship? It should have been open for a while

[dark lintel]

New grad

2023

[tight gale]

not yet

[frozen umbra]

For new grad 2023, no

[dark lintel]

Alright thank!

Do google call their new grad new grad or something else

[frozen umbra]

Pretty sure it’s still early Careers for 2022

[dark lintel]

Yeah

[tight gale]

early careers,campus

was what i applied to iirc

[dark lintel]

🧠

Thanks!

[analog current]

stupid question but would u say interviews are easier in canada

im judging based of one data point which is that i got surprisingly easy questions for google step

[vivid fiber]

They'll prob only open in September

[tight gale]

google step is for juniors right

[dark lintel]

It’s for freshman and sophomore

[tight gale]

i dont think they would give you like dp hards for that

ah fuck i dont use those i use like 1st year 2nd year etc lol

[dark lintel]

I will probably try g Fb twitter for canada

Ng

[dark lintel]

Yeah step is for 1st and 2nd year

[vivid fiber]

Don't u already hav Nuro?

[dark lintel]

Yeah but Nuro is not big tech

And I haven’t gotten return offer yet

[vivid fiber]

True that

How is Nuro btw?

U liking it?

[dark lintel]

It’s pretty good. I like it but I don’t know how it compares to other companies

[analog current]

bro nuro is fire

[dark lintel]

It’s pretty face paced and we have a shit load of stuff to do with not enough people

[analog current]

ahlie do u need me to help?

[frozen umbra]

Uhhh, big tech will always ask the same type of questions, canada or not.

[analog current]

nah bro

like ya

but look at indian interviews for step

[vivid fiber]

Snap Canada asks lc easies - med

As long as you get interviewers from Toronto office

[tight gale]

indian amazon loop is a little different too but i dont think thats a fair comparison to canada/usa

[frozen umbra]

And snap US asks LC easies - med

[vivid fiber]

They dont tho?

[frozen umbra]

i have some friends who interviewed with snap that got asked easies

more like one friend who got easies

[vivid fiber]

For both rounds?

[frozen umbra]

Not both

for her second round

[vivid fiber]

Were they asked a hard as well?

[frozen umbra]

No

[vivid fiber]

Damn they lucked out

[frozen umbra]

Or at least thats what she put it as

[vivid fiber]

I've talked to like 5+ interns who've interviewed

And they've all been asked a medium and a hard

[tight gale]

sample size of 5

[vivid fiber]

Ya but when compared to their lc tagged qs it makes sense

Like I think its 90% mediums and hards

[frozen umbra]

literally, big tech for canada/US, theres no difference in how they ask questions.

And I have no idea on the hiring process for local US companies

personally, I dont think US has harder interviews than Canada, but its harder to get interviews, as its sometimes more of a pain to give them a sponsorship

[tight gale]

yea with the high amount of rng i think it would be hard to draw a conclusion unless we like poll every intern

[frozen umbra]

yup

Like my experience could differ way differently than someone elses

[tight gale]

i remember seeing here that google was avoiding dp or something

and i got a dp hard onsite

[vivid fiber]

Tru

[fluid surge]

wtf dp hard 😦

[vivid fiber]

I've gotten a role that was listed as a coop role

But it didn't explicitly say coop only in the description

[novel dome]

thats the real question

gotta show up to step with 6x internships

[vivid fiber]

I think it's only for 1st and 2nd yrs

[placid dawn]

what was that site where u could buy referrals

[placid dawn]

wish i could post on blind

[vivid fiber]

Aren't you getting interviews though

I thought u got Google oa?

[placid dawn]

literally the only oa i got this year

faangs give me oas but not many open in canada rn

local companies all ghost me

[vivid fiber]

Damn, sad

[vivid fiber]

Did u apply to Coursera Canada?

[placid dawn]

yea today

[placid dawn]

not rly most ppl are in da same boat

[vivid fiber]

Ya, and it's sad

[placid herald]

Damn. Are fall internships tricky in general or most companies not hiring as much as before

[vivid fiber]

Fall internships r tougher

Less companies

[placid dawn]

my money dont jiggle jiggle

[jolly tide]

Does Amazon offer annual bonuses ON TOP of sign-on bonuses? This would be for the Vancouver office.

[ornate sigil]

a lot of people who say they got a hard on the interview actually got a medium. they just didn’t know how to solve it

[placid dawn]

i got the ibm interview

theyre asking me in the email if im enrolled in a coop but im not. also the posting just said internship and no coop

is that a problem

[frozen umbra]

no not a problem

[placid dawn]

oh sweet

will they ask a lc problem on the interview

[frozen umbra]

GF says she thinks so

its been 3 years

[placid dawn]

idk what to prepare for

its the fullstack role

[frozen umbra]

but her position was the IoT ai position

so more questions related to AI and ML rather than lc

but she thinks she remembers doing a LC question

LC easy

[placid dawn]

sweet

big hopes

wtf

just realized i got interview 1 day after applying with new email

[vivid fiber]

IBM interviews r very random

Once I was just asked an lc q

Another time I was rapid fired quizzed about random cs bs

Another times I was tested on SQL knowledge (even though the role didn't specify it, and I told them going in I didn't know it)

[fickle juniper]

Yeah the one time I interviewed with IBM the interviewer went through my resume and asked a bunch of random trivia related to what was on it, like Java, React, etc

And then finished it off with a OOD type coding question

This was for extreme blue tho so probably will be different

[placid dawn]

stop scaring me guys

[vivid fiber]

It's rng basically

I'd brush up on some lc

And also review some trivia for the skills mentioned in the job dsc

[placid dawn]

looks simple but im afraid of this

[vivid fiber]

R u in a formal internship program?

[placid dawn]

what is that mean

there is only coop here

[vivid fiber]

R u in ur school's coop program then?

[placid dawn]

nope

i can do internships

but no coops

like for example amazon doesn't do coop

[craggy moth]

check if job description requieres it

[placid dawn]

just normal internship

[vivid fiber]

Then u may not be eligible I think

[placid dawn]

the pic above is all they gave

[vivid fiber]

A formal program means the job js through your school afaik

Although they may make an exception so try anyway 🤷‍♂️

[craggy moth]

nah like the actual job description, sometimes it says it in the requierments

[placid dawn]

[placid dawn]

https://careers.ibm.com/job/16108142/fullstack-developer-intern-4-months-montreal-ca/?codes=IBM_CareerWebSite

it says "preferred" tho

[craggy moth]

[placid dawn]

there is hope

[vivid fiber]

I think it may b fine then?

Hopefully

[placid dawn]

[fickle juniper]

Dw i thought I bombed it because I forgot a lot of ood stuff but they passed me anyway, I feel the bar isn't super high

[analog current]

Any vacancy here for a developer?

[placid dawn]

u got offer?

im nervous af now and i made a typo on the email

[fickle juniper]

No but I withdrew after technical round, which I’d passed

[fickle juniper]

Typo shouldn’t be a big deal, they don’t make their decisions based on email interaction unless u do something that raises red flags

[placid dawn]

i shoulda just bought eth at $5 and be set for life

[oblique crater]

just beg your coop coordinator at your school to approve it

you're gonna have to pay some fees why would they say no to money from you

[steel escarp]

nah they asked me the same thing

so technically in ibm there are intern and coop

they just wanna know which type ur in

if u pass the inteview and get the offer

they will send an email to ur school office to confirm

[novel dome]

Do u have interview for this?

[placid herald]

Btw yo did you enroll into the Science internship program in uofc?

[storm stream]

its good if you want schlumberger

[steel escarp]

i did

but i finished my coop term last year

[placid herald]

I am an international student so got no choice 😦

[steel escarp]

same

[storm stream]

you HAVE to be in coop?

[steel escarp]

to get the work permit

[placid herald]

for the co op work permit yeah

[steel escarp]

yes

[storm stream]

Ohhh I see

UofC is so brain dead

[placid herald]

Bruh getting into Ucalgary was a mistake I feel :3

[steel escarp]

i dont like the way they operate the coop terms

[placid herald]

We gotta do consecutive 8-12 months

[steel escarp]

otherwise its good

[storm stream]

ufoc is not the best but you can make it... just look at @steel escarp

[steel escarp]

ye look at me incoming @ unemployed

[storm stream]

principal at Neo

[steel escarp]

ye those garbage interns got paid 15

i got 16

they're bad

[placid herald]

How tf do they pay 15 wtf is this

[steel escarp]

neo finance

the canadian jane street

🤣

[storm stream]

[placid herald]

Didnt it just get a unicorn status

[steel escarp]

oh 15 assuming u work 40 hrs a week

which u likely dont

🤣

[storm stream]

"unicorn"

its dogshit

[steel escarp]

u tell me 1 good unicorn in calgary

LOL

[storm stream]

it #canada's biggest meme

[placid herald]

Calgary in mud

[steel escarp]

good cs ppl in calgary either move or work remotely for companies in other province

i haven't seen anyone actually stay

[storm stream]

this person goes to uofc

anything is possible

[placid herald]

My idol. Gotta start the grind

[storm stream]

the connections in the coop program matter

[steel escarp]

it doesn't but at ucalgary u dont know about the grind till u graduate 🤣

[storm stream]

and the quality of the education is meh but varies greatly as well

[steel escarp]

they make u think oil/gas are the best u can get

[placid herald]

Bro is the cs degree here so theoretical or is it the same in other unis as well?

[steel escarp]

its the same at other uni

u can try seng in schulich and be more practical

but its like 30k/ year

we're paying 20k

[storm stream]

it does when you experience the difference

[placid herald]

Damn but when you have profs like eberly and walker , it's just worseeeee

[storm stream]

fuck eberly bruh 😂

[steel escarp]

why would u pay extra 10k

[placid herald]

Didnt learn shit from 331 honestly

[storm stream]

fucking useless dude

I just passed

[placid herald]

Uofc

Yeah that's pretty cheap comparatively

[storm stream]

you mean tmu

uofc is better than tmu?

good one

LOOOOOL

you actually believe that?

[placid herald]

Uofc is a research school.
I used to believe in the rankings as well but its all a lie

[storm stream]

no I go to UofC

[placid herald]

Momo are you graduating this year ?

[storm stream]

june 2023 hopefully

I have one more eberly class

legit scared

I barely pass his classes

[placid herald]

siuuu nice

[storm stream]

hbu?

[placid herald]

I have seen his assignments and the exams were kinda similar not sure about his other course

[placid herald]

2025 i think if I do a full 1 year

[storm stream]

nice nice

My advice is go to the career fair

and get in touch directly with managers/recruiters there

[placid herald]

Aye boss got it. I have been such a dumbass. I focused so much on grades with the online schooling I just realized the whole internship scene this late

[storm stream]

Cisco Clio Benevity Shareworks Jobber

All good I got all my internships in 3rd year 😂

[untold nebula]

I mean at least you figured it out before graduating

[storm stream]

been in "4th year" for quite a while

Avoid Synopsys... they do 16 month internships which should actually be a crime

[placid herald]

Honestly if I didnt do the database course in my last semester , I would have never known about the scene pretty much

[storm stream]

yeah UofC mentality is get CS degree and work in help desk

😂

at oil and gas

I don't hear about it there either

[placid herald]

I have heard TC energy pays well tho for cs interns in calgary

[dark portal]

Any idea on how much Cisco pays?

[frozen umbra]

30-40 range

[dark portal]

I work at ibm in Markham rn and make 30 an hour

[storm stream]

yeah and lock you up for 18 months

[frozen umbra]

I think it’s closer to like 35-37

[dark portal]

If I go the Cisco route it'll be my 6th internship

[storm stream]

Cisco Calgary $26 two years ago

[dark portal]

What about ottawa?

[frozen umbra]

Yeah 35-37 for final internship

[dark portal]

Do they have interns at Montreal?

[storm stream]

ask @steel escarp

[untold nebula]

@dark portal do you have an interview?

[frozen umbra]

Oh yeah puff is working there rn

He can just give you his pay lmao

[untold nebula]

I'll dm

[dark portal]

No, I'm just really trying to gun for Cisco for my 6th internship. I think aiming for Cisco after ibm an blackberry is realistic

Ty bro

[placid herald]

6th damn. You are cracked

[storm stream]

yeah but I know you're cracked so you should go for Jane Street

LOOL that's sick

[novel dome]

Any tips for ibm interview in 15mins

aint tryin to bottle seond interview of the day

[storm stream]

that's what it's like when a university does coop properly... not this 8-12 month bullshit we have

[untold nebula]

@storm stream yo did you know there's an internal cisco job portal

[storm stream]

just remember that you're cracked and that you fkn got this

[untold nebula]

I saw a meraki posting on there for 2023

[frozen umbra]

A lot of companies have internal job portal

[storm stream]

Internal in UofC you mean?

[untold nebula]

Naw like for Cisco employees

[storm stream]

oh at Cisco? yeah there is but it's not open to interns I'm pretty sure 😂

Interns are like contractors

[untold nebula]

Wym bro I saw like 13 intern postings

[storm stream]

wait whats your question?

you see the postings but you asking if there's a job board?

[novel dome]

also bit of a random question

[dark portal]

I'm drunk at work rn lol

[novel dome]

but what r like ur guys go to questions to ask in interview

[novel dome]

purrrfect

[steel escarp]

what about me

ur the one worked at cisco

🤣

[frozen umbra]

Ask they why they are currently working there, if your interviewer has been there for like 2+ years

[storm stream]

• how would you describe a successful internship for this role?
• if you could give your younger self advice what would it be?

[untold nebula]

Nah no question, I thought it was cool to share cause I didn't know it was a thing.

There might be a better chance to interview if I apply on the internal portal

[placid dawn]

jesus

[storm stream]

Ohhhh I see I see

[novel dome]

thats a banger

[steel escarp]

just go and ask can u match amazon pay? no? bye bye

[storm stream]

Yeah go for Meraki

[untold nebula]

Yee, cool thing I can just dm the recruiter on webex looool

Gimme interview loool

[storm stream]

I asked Amazon interviewer the second one... he was such a bot he said "I would tell my young self to just go for it"... I was like uhh yeah OK

[dark portal]

Bro, I passed the interview hungover. If my dumbass can do it, so can you

Also, any idea on how much Cisco pays new grads?

[storm stream]

Duuuuuuude you HAVE to

[novel dome]

im monkey brain uk

[storm stream]

ez

[dark portal]

Don't you remember bro, I have a single digit iq

[storm stream]

You're the one who's incoming at Snowflake

enjoy those RSUs

[novel dome]

im in the negative

🐒

[steel escarp]

i wish

but i can't dp

[frozen umbra]

I have a friend who interviewed through the new grad process and took the job. I can ask for his offer

[storm stream]

me neither... instead I get dp'd by the OA

[untold nebula]

Ive dmed some meraki recruiters and one of them said a recruiter hasn't been assigned to the posting yet

She said to dm her when I apply tho

[storm stream]

That's clutch if you got from Cisco ottawa to Meraki... upgrade AFFF

[steel escarp]

actually i can fail -> fail -> fail -> ... -> fail -> .. no break

[untold nebula]

Pray for me 🙏

Cisco Ottawa -> meraki Cali pipeline

[frozen umbra]

I would take that $67cad/hr

And 10k sign on

Fucking fat

[storm stream]

holy fk

[untold nebula]

I asked if they could sponsor me and she said yes

I was like damn

[storm stream]

intern or ng?

[novel dome]

10k sign on for intern??

[untold nebula]

Or could work remote apparently

[frozen umbra]

That’s merakis intern offer

[novel dome]

damn

[storm stream]

holy fk

[untold nebula]

No relocation offered tho

[novel dome]

merkai interns makin more than me through signing bonus

[frozen umbra]

Your 10k sign on is your relics to on package lmao

Relocation*

[untold nebula]

Oh true

[frozen umbra]

But you still get sign on even if you do remote

[novel dome]

damn

[frozen umbra]

The sign on is before tax

But you shouldn’t be taxed hard for a 4 month internship

[dark portal]

Thanks bro

I'd appreciate that

[steel escarp]

for summer?

damn thats hot

[untold nebula]

2023

[storm stream]

Take me with you 😭

[novel dome]

shit

interview aint even for ibm

its for a other comp they bought

[steel escarp]

why didnt u just add the meraki in ur cisco and get that 67/hr. + 10k bread

🤣

u had cisco already just need meraki

[storm stream]

I got Cisco antivirus team

Did you even know they make an antivirus?

smhhh

[untold nebula]

[steel escarp]

cisco meraki antivirus team?

pogggg

[spring wren]

does cisco meraki auto reject canadians?

i got rejected already day after 🥲

[frozen umbra]

I swear to god I’ve answered your question already

No

[spring wren]

For this particular role, we don't believe that there's a fit, based on the answers you provided us on our earlier questionnaire.

but on the questionnaire it only says stuff regarding visa

[storm stream]

I feel like they do unless you Waterloo

[frozen umbra]

Nah, I’m like sure there’s intern from different Canadian uni that’s get into meraki

Meraki has a waterooworks posting, but force you to apply through their job site

And it’s not a Waterloo exclusive job posting, it’s their general fall posting

[steel escarp]

i think meraki auto reject for non-summer internship

[untold nebula]

There's someone on LinkedIn whos non Waterloo at meraki rn

[storm stream]

yee I just checked there's a bunch

[untold nebula]

But yeah majority on LinkedIn are loo

[storm stream]

Ya facts

[untold nebula]

My friend got like 95k base, 10k sign on

20k USD stock over 4 years

For ottawa office

[spring wren]

this was summer and fall

🥲

guess no uoft

[steel escarp]

thats a lot

more than ibm

🤣

do they allow remote work?

[untold nebula]

They've been supporting hybrid work. They're not expecting everyone to come back into office

[steel escarp]

dammit shoulda interviewed with cisco when the recruiter contacted
