jaunty cove
#

it sounds a lot easier than proofs in math classes

quaint bolt
#

that's the norm at top unis lol

dense tinsel
#

when ull never use it for like an ml guy

past comet
#

Anyone gave confluent oa ?

dense tinsel
#

besides critical thinking

quaint bolt
#

it's the same at waterloo too

jaunty cove
dense tinsel
#

why cant u just give the interviewing dude some take home assignment for ml/ai

jaunty cove
#

if you study math youre not going to spend a lot of time learning about machine learning models

#

in undergrad

cyan garnet
#

I dont wanna do ML/AI

#

ngl its boring

#

idk what I wanna do

jaunty cove
#

just start taking grad level courses

cyan garnet
#

blockchain would be cool if the market wasnt getting banged

dense tinsel
#

didnt alexandr wang take grad level courses during his first year at mit

#

bro never knew what grass even was

#

💀

cyan garnet
#

top in US or Canada

dense tinsel
#

nah thats just too extreme imo

jaunty cove
#

there are decent number of poeple who take grad level courses freshman year

cyan garnet
#

UC?

dense tinsel
#

he had 0 childhood im betting

jaunty cove
#

its not that uncommon

UW is great for cs

I been to campus twice

#

it never fails to amaze me

wicked bison
#

u guys know the best ivy leagues? cuny

cyan garnet
#

not the campus itself but the students

#

yea campus aint half bad

low vale
#

waterloo is just waterloo

wicked bison
#

waterpoo

cyan garnet
low vale
#

wouldn't do a 5 year uni

cyan garnet
#

drop out of co-op

low vale
#

huh, that's an option?

cyan garnet
#

yes

low vale
#

isn't that one of the big draws of the school

cyan garnet
#

yes

#

but if u dont want to do 5 years

#

then drop it

#

who cares

#

UW is sweaty the name is very good

#

I am personally applying for no co-op

jaunty cove
#

@dense tinsel also everyone i know whos taken a lot of grad level courses in undergrad says that its not that crazy, it just requires you to have prerequisite knowledge

dense tinsel
#

a lot of my relatives went to waterloo

#

so they want me to continue the trend

#

my dad wants me to go to uoft since he went there for undergard -> phd, but i told my parents i dont wanna go to canada for uni

#

sad dad

research -> uoft

#

is how it goes in canada

cyan garnet
#

I lowkey wanna start a yt channel to track how I have been doing over the years

#

dont even care about views

#

just for fun and document my experiences and accomplishments

#

💀

#

wsg

#

avg?

#

how long ago did u apply

#

I am assuming u applied to UTSG

#

UTM and UTSC would accept u with that

quaint bolt
#

yes

cyan garnet
#

yea covid year

#

ur avg was too low (cant believe I am saying that to a 95)

wicked bison
#

should i get this

cyan garnet
#

yea

#

UTM and UTSC

#

have POST

#

which can suck my d***

#

basically

#

u have to get a certain avg in 1st year

#

to do the major u got accepted for

#

yea

#

its so BS

#

but the thing is if u dont make POST

#

u cant do the major u want

#

and they dont mention it to you

#

in the application

#

and UTSG also has post but they admit reasonable amount of people

#

UTM and UTSC overadmit for the money

#

if they have like 100 spots they admit like 200

#

yea its not as if u cant do fine

#

yea probs

#

I didnt wanna overexaggerate

#

more than I thought

#

so like 500 people for POSt and only 100 get in

cyan garnet
#

exclusivity

cyan garnet
#

if UW was giving out admission to every student would it be hyped?

just like how quants improve the world

cyan garnet
#

and made campuses

somber solstice
#

quants definitely are harmful to the world as a whole lmao

#

ye

#

very easy

#

i actually never had a technical interview for fidelity

#

my recruiter straight up gave me an offer after the phone

wicked bison
#

i think i broke my braces

north portal

like she was like, im skipping the interview and just sending you an offer

#

and i was like pog

wicked bison

wicked bison
#

should i code on my phone

north portal
#

ye

#

after text she just randomly called me the next day

#

both u can go in person if u want, but remote is also an option

#

@honest spire worst part of fidelity phone

wicked bison
north portal
#

is that she never told me, and i woke up at like 11

#

and had to just take the phone in bed

#

and hope she didnt notice

north portal
#

nah cuz thats better

#

my response was "Who dis"

#

and she was like oh hey, im your recruiter

#

and i was like oh shit

#

lol yall truly lc monkeys

#

lc on mobile wtf

#

waterloo cs only accepts cs co-op applications now

north portal
#

this is what my current is

#

oh shit nvm

#

its a good intro internship

#

cuz having any internship experience trumps nothing

#

and fidelity itself is decent

#

like i got amazon, riot, palantir, and quite a few big company oas

#

so id say its decent

#

nah u got it dawg, dont stress

burnt spoke
#

Bru sm ppl in my school have no internship as a fresh and jump straight into appl

#

Makes sense makes sense

#

I had a fresh internship too at a f500 tech co for $$

north portal
#

was insane

burnt spoke
#

Target?

north portal
#

no

#

state schools

#

trueee

quaint bolt
#

I shop at target

burnt spoke
#

Sm state schools r targets

quaint bolt
north portal
#

like wtf

north portal
#

u can just drive to harris teeter and get normal priced toothpaste for 2 miles extra

naive kayak
#

🪡

north portal
#

idk, targets are good prestige, but a lot of state schools have very good programs and resources u can leverage

#

also cheaper

naive kayak
#

also most students are dying at targets

north portal
#

for me clearing debt is more important, so paying off undergrad helps

vapid pecan
#

i go to non-target

#

didnt even know about leetcode until junior year

#

most of my friends dont even know abt leetcode

burnt spoke
#

Expedia as a junior with nothing

#

Cracked

vapid pecan
#

freshman and soph year i just took summer courses lol

naive kayak
#

that’s how it should be ngl 💯

quaint bolt
#

just go to the best bang for buck uni you can afford, get Amazon and then do whatever for your 2nd internship and beyond dogesmile

burnt spoke
#

They’re still ignoring me 🙃

somber solstice
#

😩

quaint bolt
north portal
#

so i can finally say im doing well

vapid pecan
#

i wish i went to target

burnt spoke
#

Why

somber solstice
vapid pecan
#

and ppl actually know about applications/leetcode

north portal
#

fax, also lowkey

#

a lot of kids at my state school are just as good at target kids CS wise, they just didnt get into them

#

like the disparity isnt as big as people make it seem

#

its just the prestige and resources open to you at targets are basically shortcuts

jaunty cove
#

the disparity is in how recruiters view the school more than how competent the students are

north portal
#

DAMN BRUH

north portal
#

imma be applying

burnt spoke
#

John’s Hopkins?

vapid pecan

#

like its just a drive away

vapid pecan
#

lmao yeah i was looking at UMD career fair

north portal
#

JHU is pog tho, i really want to get in for med

quaint bolt
#

They’ll prolly throw away your resume when they see you don’t go to school X

#

If it’s a school career fair

#

Doesn’t hurt to try tho

north portal
#

it looks good if u spin it

#

as a prospect who deliberately showed up to talk

quaint bolt
#

Yeah don’t just drop your resume and leave

north portal
#

its interest being shown

burnt spoke
#

If it makes u feel better like best opp was prolly when nvidia came but I didn’t get selected by any team 😢

#

Other than that mostly apply normally

north portal
#

but at a random engineering bash event

#

and not the main fair

burnt spoke
north portal
#

so half the campus missed them

burnt spoke
#

They gave me a team specific link

#

But idk haven’t heard anything back yet

north portal
#

yea no, i applied and still got ghosted

#

recruiter did say she was looking for very specific matches tho

burnt spoke
#

Lmk if u have better luck than me

north portal
#

honestly career fairs are good until you try to break into Faang

#

at that point process is automated, u might as well not bother

#

we had a nutanix booth, and everyone avoided it cuz no one knew the name so it was easy talking

burnt spoke
#

What no interest form?

north portal
#

and recruiter was lowkey nice

burnt spoke
#

At the v least

north portal
#

not all of them either

#

yea fs

I used to impress my family at the yearly Christmas dinner in our vacation home in Aspen. My job as a software engineer at Google was always the talk of the town and a source of pride. Everyone in my family is either a doctor, investment banker, or corporate lawyer. But now that the hiring bar at Google has dropped so much and my stock has plummeted 40%, my family ignores me. As we sit around the table being served the finest foods by the family servants, nobody turns to me and asks "how is your job at Google? I know you're doing great things." They used to ask me this every year, and I would invariably get arranged marriage proposals from wealthy and noble suitors. Now, I am alone, putting up with this dead-end job at a dead-end company, just a shell of who I used to be. My old friend from MIT just sent me a photo of him and his wife in the Maldives, with their beautiful golden retriever, and apparently his kids aged 14 and 15 just got into Harvey Mudd to study Computer Science as well...

  1. Working at a MF PE out of IB is like a somewhat talented developer/engineer going to work at Google.
    You work at a big name, and every service provider you deal with strokes your ego, and now you think you are hot shit. You get comped 15-20% above market, and you get to brag anonymously on WSO. You think you have made it because you made it to the big leagues. No, you are just a freaking clog in a massive machine. You have an abysmal chance of making partner, and you are just an execution monkey. You are a white-collar slave, where they throw marginally extra money at you, and in return, you sell your soul and your life. But unlike the dev who goes work at Goog and only works 40 hour weeks, you are still cranking 90-100 hours/week like you did at a busy group at a BB. You actually burn out, and lose motivation in a couple years time. The tortoise and the hare.
  2. You don't really get mentored or taught anything because you are there just to complete tasks.
    It's a cutthroat culture at most (not all) MF PEs. (Again everything I say is going to be a generalization and not absolute, but) you think you are going to learn dealmaking and taught the secret sauce of PE, but you are just there to complete tasks. You are absolutely replaceable (please MS me if you genuinely think that a MF PE will fail to deploy or generate returns because an associate like you/future-you leaves). I guarantee you the guys at smaller shops learn more than you when it comes to sourcing and dealmaking, holistically speaking. You are actually further away from dealmaking than the MM guys ar
  3. Your happiness and well-being will suffer.

Apply from high school

To cs regular

This was changed many years ago

Lots of ppl drop co-op when they have internships coz external becomes better and they can grad earlier and have experience they need etc. like @versed kestrel said

But nobody starts in cs regular unless they’re a transfer from another uni

Can’t get to cs regular from high school anymore

just not to someone applying from high school

im saying this

as someone

#

who applied from high school last year

#

and i go here lol

#

when you get your pin for ouac, you will see
cs co-op
and cs regular

both of these applications are for cs co-op, it's just outdated on ouac

plush flume
sinful locust
#

like @cyan garnet
it's available as a regular or co-op program once you get in
you can't choose what to apply to from the outside

you apply to cs co-op
if you get in
then you can choose to do cs regular by dropping co-op

#

if you really want, you can choose CS regular on OUAC, and then once you get in (hopefully), realize you're in co-op

Isn’t the whole appeal for Waterloo the coop program tho
