and they're like within 10 of top school
yea stuff like mit, harvard, etc are at the top
come work for baraka ill give u a referral the talent guy is bare nice and helpful he roasted the shit out of my resume
oh what was the interview process like?
I am a rising junior so will be only looking for stuff in US now
Ok I cap. I filtered for loo + a french school
time to get gpa gapped 
@coarse marten
even then i see a lot of citadel interns from waterloo but they end up going to faang/unicorns for ft
Joma 
lol
joma deez nuts
like i've seen several loo people intern at citadel and meta and choose meta ft
who is pingin
eh i cold emailed they gave me an interview to talk about who i am and stuff then another one to talk about my past projects and experiences then i got a technical project assignment https://github.com/Baraka-Assignment it was pretty light then another meet to talk about onboarding and pay and stuff like that(my dumbass did not negotiate or anything and just said im more so looking for experience blabla etc. so im prolly getting underpaid rn)
i mean theres nothing wrong with it
he got cit super early too
yea tbh i would do the same
pretty poggers
citadel crushing my soul isn't worth the bit of extra money
unlikely
nah that guy was cracked
also ppl like product-based industries
cap
had a bunch of faang internships
no its because loo is 5 yr
Stop being jealous mr altf4
thanks for sharing!
hes smart hes just gonna get yr gapped
doesn't waterloo co-op program make it hard to get big names until you're a few co-ops in
yes
he can pass the interviews lol
why wtf
just apply externally ig
i have 4 internships
why would it matter how many official coops i have
good for you
that makes 0 sense
i mean you'll be cracked by the time you get into 2nd and 3rd year regardless
waterlooworks
flight not housing
how is housing in dubai
Depends more on urself I guess. If u are plat usaco. U might get it
is it comparable to prices in the US
im getting paid good enough to pay for housing tho(only downside is i didint get my paycheck until today)
you go to simon fraser university?
@sinful locust does
i dont...
Hes friends with @sinful locust

no im not
dr aight is timed out
Its over
stop pinging him
Hes back
basically this
the earliest I've seen someone get HFT is 2nd coop but he was on loo's icpc team
anyone who got HFT before 4th has been on loo's icpc team and were like in the top 5 for the na regionals
im living pretty good it was like 1.2k canadian dollars / per month
@vague lion
Just code lol
What about joma
1.4k cad damn
joma cracked
so if you're usaco plat or the equivalent in cco and can get into the icpc team then yeah you can get HFTs early
auto cad
@sinful locust
@midnight sonnet
Whod you reply to
it was easier back then
im not like that
to get good companies earlier
bog
i wish bay area rent was 1.4 cad 
did he still block you
@sinful locust you can get quant too if u try hard enough
Also less positions
I blocked him
oh nice
So I cant see who you replied to
I was wondering if it was him or zenit
@hearty river you can get quant too if u try hard enough
bog is cool why block
he wants COINBAZE
ur kinda stretching it tho ik first years at uber, snowflake, cisco etc. @quaint bolt
why put cisco in the same sentence
lol
I dont want some shitty quant job
cisco is good for first year
yes you do
I like my current position at amex
significantly easier than the lower number of positions
What?
he said he blocked you
I agree
Only meraki
uber, snowflake, and cisco? 
yes
ive also seen bloomberg and bmo global markets
How did joma get cita he made it sound like it was ez af
I've been here for a while my man, I know
Who?
@sinful locust
bmo is ez first coop
uber and snowflake >>>>>>>>> cisco but ofc cisco is still good for a freshman
yes
meraki better
bb literally just wants insane grades
bmo global markets is cracked
uber has uberstar
they pay well too
and the snowflake first years I know are all cp chads
the one I was saying who got citadel 2nd got snowflake first
I don't remember why I blocked him. But I will not unblock
waterloo has too many cp chads
bro 50% of uw is cp chads 😭
he was on loo's icpc team

no lmao
you only look at the chads on linkedin
Its ranked well but its dumb
that got hrt second year
Cuz of coops
yeah
lmao
i go to MIT
Takes like 12 years to get a bs
@hearty river
i go to MIT
Man loo admissions literally rng
waterloo is basically on-par with stuff like mit but it's handicapped by being in canada
my bad for pinging lol
Canada is the biggest handicap imaginable
no its not lmao
how
@sa
it just is
there are literally no tech companies here
why go to canad
No worries I finally understand what it feels like to get messages often 
compared to us
y
stop hating on loo matati
Racist president, no good jobs, low pay, high tax
yea canadian tech is just satellites of us tech
yakhuna
he goes to better school
who cares
stfu
beavers > whatever waterloo is
bro
i mean like
waterloo domestic is actually a steal ngl
queens is better
ill take ubc
maybe even some local place
If you get a US job afterward definitely
@sinful locust likes local canadian schools
you def can get US job
mf spends all his time on discord and says a party school is better 
Otherwise you’re basically paying 5x tuition in your canadian taxes
just be good
go to simon fraser university
lol
@sinful locust says its not that good
He goes there
@quaint bolt i cant land worse then what i currently have just cause im in enrolled in a coop system surely ill be able to land something decent? like i can lc and i have enough experience / side projects
Who?
You
@vague lion are you loo bmath with coop?
for being an annoying bitch
U should have taken that
yes
took it over ce
solely cause of tuition highkey
You'll be fine man I regret not taking bmath coop over uoft cs
Sfu
@hearty river is a party place
@sinful locust where u at
@midnight sonnet grinds while @hearty river parties
@midnight sonnet better
is bmath fine for getting cs co-ops
uoft cs is still cracked
Alt matati blocked @sinful locust
He didnt
yeah and
for sure it's fine with quants
@vague lion not to recruiters sadly
but what about tech
no they're broke and end up working at mcdonalds
I don't touch grass
I only grind one thing unlike @quaint bolt
yeah math is like second most popular majhor for big tech i think
oh damn
i dont think theres a difference at all in career prospects
plus math is cooler
math majors > cs majors
You def have a better chance of landing tech than quant as a math major
@sinful locust showed me the way
math > cs
but he wont do theory thread
hes scare
I'm sure you'll land something decent, but graduation date is important
im 2025
Its just a sad thread
The only people I've seen bypass the grad date stuff are icpc chads lol
Might do a minor idk
no youre not
Id rather actually do math
youre 2023
apply for new grad
@vague lion I'm sorry man you didn't get into loo CS I saw your stats on the Toronto server - loo admissions is just a big fucking rng you'll be fucking fine in math with coop chill
don'y you start this year? math is 4 years?
or May 2025 or whatever the month is
Math should be 2 years
actually drop the month if it's in the fall
No
ty ty yea no im not really stressing over it ive already coped enough 
I dont see problem with December 202X
stop annoying alt matati
@hearty river
he is angry at u
Just put a random month
@hearty river
go play cs go
even if it's 2025, there are people graduating 2024 it's just an L unless the internship is the year before you graduate lol
or whatever you do instead of lc
May 2025 >>> December 2025 bc december 2025
5 years but yes
so isn't it 2026 
No
wait
🤫
2027 u mean
it's 2022
2027
@vague lion what are math major concentratsion at loo
I remember I was so mad and frustrated over CS rejection and getting bmath instead when I grinded all throughout highschool and my classmate who just randomly picked CS got it but that's just life
mf graduates in 2027 
life mystery
just grind math
math > cs
And put 2025 
combinatorics and optimization + stats + cog sci minor
L

What is the name of the mf who faked everything from loo?
I blocked him
I forgot
simpryaser?
@uneven sand
sophomore grad date with several internships already should land you something good for external applications
No
@hearty river are you simpryaser
which means you won't have much luck on ww 
eric liau?
Not even at uoft no more kekw transferred out after friend took his own life cuz uoft first year is literally a pressure cooker to weed out peeps 
so you have to apply externally
Yes 
qualcomm is huge for uoft
damn sorry to hear
i know ppl there and yeah its harder to do well in than it is to get in
canada education system is a bait and switch
ERIC LIU HAS TARNISHED LOO’S REPUTATION
Canada is dumb

Gonna go to her place again

Kawhi says nets would’ve won the east if ben simmons played
@coarse marten
he's gonna tell me to grind lc instead of girls
yes
i see the thread
Yea Ben would have clamped Tatum 
Summer 2023 intern or new grad?
and then would run out of the way when tatum starts to drive
Ben wouldve made them score 75 less points per game

His +/- would be so negative
oh yeah ofc
warriors fan
Oh, I thought this was you
nah
im not atlassian simp
-30 vorp and 0 dawg/36
@ meek
tatum vs simmons, who will miss/avoid the most layups
simmons
Tatum
jaden ivey future nba hof
Tatums on a new level of avoiding layups
how they paying $842350482301489032 when their stonks are like 2 cents
who your fav basketball player
Bro drives in, tries to draw a foul, then chucks it randomly to the other team after no call
where's this cash coming from
mfw tatum is more efficient from 3 than at the rim
rockets won the draft
Lol! Not surprised though 
basically
no
they pay 65/hr
yes
lol
i got thai food

65/hr wtf
Can you split it over multiple orders
Or does it have to be all 25 at once
hmm
even 65 cad/hr is crazy
I dont really want 25 at once
i think multiple times
I can easily get 3 meals out of that
Oh cool
maybe it depends on the voucher
Wait wtf, even Reddit fell for that resume 
is this an uber eats voucher
idk for sure, but try
you still have to pay at the end tho lol
steph since like 2015
thats 3 twisted tacos
Wut
but it's worth bc you're paying like $8 for $25 worth of food
from Hudson
oh it's a gift card
Mr. Hudson gave it to us
next time send me the zoom link :)
Its one of these things
do you want the voucher
sure
mr hudson still hasn't sent me the swag i ordered
they approved it last week but it still hasn't arrived
hold on let me find it
@honest spire stop spamming my dm

High schooler yeah

bc you're lying. i got rentech as a elementary school freshman

mfs in disbelief that he's not getting jane street first year 
Bro why can’t they go outside and have fun
@vague lion
Literally tho
outside is scary 
@vague lion
@fierce token
cause it just seems stupid yk like u wna hire the person best for the job, whats the difference if this preson is a 3rd or 1st year
I'm currently having a mental breakdown. Six months ago I finally found the perfect girl whose internships' prestige matches mine (Hudson River Trading, Two Sigma). Obviously, my internships are just slightly more prestigious (Jane Street, Citadel), but close enough. However, this internship season, my girlfriend got into Jane Street while I didn't get a return offer. Obviously, my supervisor was threatened by me and afraid I'd take his job. I've had to settle for interning at Google Brain (eww) and now my prestigious girlfriend wants to break up with me. She says she's found another guy who has interned at every single trading firm every summer since middle school. How do I win her back?
are you a baller
bro its 1 am here
Hey Wagons
allow me
did you go on the hike
im a baller
nice
tunnel bluffs
actually i suck
indoor tho right
Nah it was wayyy too hot I’m sad
outside is scary 
i don't play indoors bc the gyms always full
sad
Also Wagons have you met a Matthew yet at YVR14/15
He might’ve been at your intern happy hour
Stop pinging me
my mentor's called matthew
Alright fuck y’all LOL
haven't checked but probably
cause they do shit for ur company
issue is that people that play indoors would wreck my ass anyway
I don't think you realize how common that name is 
Wazoski staring 
Matthew pan

Nah I meant an intern though
prolly? im bad with names tho
I've been to way too many intern hangouts to remember names
yvr is the weirdest area code. there's no y in vancouver 
U shouldn’t sacrifice fun in your childhood for fun as an adult
canadians forgot how to spell
You can do both
there were like 30 interns at the beach yesterday 
That’s true YVR is a bad name
@vague lion
im gunning for robinhood or ramp or rippling or just any nice fintech but imagine wagons isnt letting me imagine
How to not sacrifice fun?
wagons
Aw man can you do +1’s, :(, I wanted to go to Jericho today
we might go to wreck today
but im not sure
bro when covid hit i had nothing to do, so this stuff took over and now im addicted let me be
my friends did tunnel bluffs so they might be tired
AND THERES OLD PPL THERE
a lot of the eecs people ik cap out at amazon as a sophomore
yes I know but apparently there's not a lot of old nude people there
faang is boring
Oh wait probably not when it’s 31 degrees
Link
holy I thought dracos was grass deprived
faang is fun because money is fun 
But wagons when it’s like spring or fall time 🤢🤢🤢
until I met ayo
I mean part of it is I’m just jealous ppl like you are way ahead of me. Keep up the good work but don’t let it consume you, have a social life too
waterloo
Have fun at Wreck tho
I'm sorry for ever roasting you about not touching grass @slow quarry
We were at kits yesterday
i bet facebook doesn't even have real grass. probably all turf
I missed out so hard wtf
can't let the employees touch grass otherwise the metaverse won't be complete
What time did you guys go? I had the car too
way more lmao - isn't nearly as obsessed too I didn't think it was possible
Kitsilano is so goddamn nice
like 8:30
so many interns pulled up
fun times
Bruh I was drinking by kits at 9 sigh
yea i got rejected everywhere in the us but ucsd and gtech but tbh i only applied to like mit, stanford etc. i thought i had a good shot at uw cs
drinking 
I should’ve just swung by to say hello to some ppl 😦
gtech 

gtech is really good but not worth over waterloo if you're paying intl
FOMO
agreed
Kits was so nice 
and gtech recruiting is mid
COVID
bruh why would you go to beach in canada. the water is probably ice
umbc recruiting is better
We then split up
iceland beach is best

Ac grind
wagonov why u risking getting COVID

go play CS GO
Some went clubbing, some went back home bc they were hiking the next day
bro u think i dont touch grass go look at @olive spire
And we went to a bar
yea I heard one group was doing karaoke
@quaint bolt
Which one?
Karaoke was before kits
Junction 
@hearty river are gonna take amex return
@quaint bolt
wagon is the covid spreader
I like Craft, omfg I missed out so hard
Ohhhh Junction is solid
WAGONOVVVVVV
Super spreader
WAHONOV
I heard it’s only $95 an hour too right? It’s not a bad rate
anyone doing ripplematch leadership intern 
Wtf lol
Like you’re splitting too
We went to fantacity before but were a much smaller group
man doesnt even know what grass is 
Ok
Ohhhhh
Ok
May I introduce you to ayo
bro who tf is getting freshman quant at loo
What’s the price at Fantacity?
@sinful locust
He’s you but worse
$ + i thought i was good for uw cs
joma
thats what i said lmfao
What did you do that someone accused you of not touching grass??
joma got his 3/4 years
its fine
Also tell Dabi she’s missing out, clown being in Montreal @quaint bolt 😭
Freshman quant better at ubc
i landed js
Bruh anyone can get quant if they plan it out right
im a first year
lmao nice joke
yes
how do i get big tech
I got hrt as freshman, its really not hard
yea ik its pretty easy i denied them for js
You make a resume that isnt trash and spam recruiters send atleast 1k emails
cause wlb is better
im sure u landed js when u processed a cisco meraki oa this morning 
Js pay bad
lol
Hrt better
LOL

do u have an email list
What did @vague lion do
no
bruh
Use apollo.io
Chrome extension that gives you emails when you look at a person on linkedin
done now what
So spam recruiters
That’s my best friend 
u made alt matati angry so u pay the price
Good
I dont want to see an sfu dude anyways
who's the matuda alt
Canadian ass
wait ayo isnt even a freshman tho
download it
nvm
Ayos a junior
Who got rejected by ncr
go to the warriors and play ball
im a 2025
He’s 2027
i know some ppl actually
loo sopgomore 
hes 2027
He starts school this year
starting 2022
wait he put 2025 on his resume
Find company you want -> look for recruiters from their company on linkedin -> when you go to the recruiters linkedin page -> apollo.io chrome extension will tell you their email address
Repeat x1k
yes
faking grad date i see
Originally

isn't ncr free if you go to gtech or uga
@sinful locust
gotta optimize the system as a math major
Just put "expected" and it isnt rly faking
or reverse string
Def for gt, idk about uga
How hard are google intern interviews
Theyre pretty stupid
wait @vague lion why tf are ur skills on top and not ur experience? are u purposely trying to cuck urself lol
Most uga new grads failed 2sum
ppl actually suggest this tho
4 swe internships and not even a freshman yet
lc medium usually, they like graphs
he has 4 swe internships
ok nvm
most big tech don't ask hards
ahh yea ive been using contact out but thx when do u think i should start cold emailing for summer 2023
Graphs are one of my best areas 
nuro 
where
draw a graph of your friend group
do a a*
Null
my skills is at bottom
Lh
weeb
code a* with diagonal heuristic
Why would you waste your childhood "having fun" when you can get ahead early then do whatever you want when your an "adult"?
lol
@sleek pike
idk i saw ur resume wsomehwere
Its judah not juda
the real trick is to be super smart like yahkuna matada so you can party all the time and still land jane street as a high school freshman
Well if you know about cs stuff / leetcode before college/hs idk why you wouldnt do it
Just have good genetics
No
Juda has good genetics
Ask yahkuna
juda got twitter + meta as a sophomore. he has to have good genetics
juda wears converse 😄
You can get meta + Lyft as a freshman
Anyone can
"anyone"
Just put 2 year grad date on your resume
Dracos come get your mans
education at bottom lol why
Put him on a leash
yea i regret not doing that
dk was just told to have it at the bottom
Only for ww
Education top otherwise
Anticipated -> Expected
Put school on top because the name will carry you
hes at waterloo
It’s fine for our internal job board
ur supposed to put it on the bottom for WW
Everyone applying is at loo
Oh your using internal
You don’t need to put education on too
What is ww?
i think im going to try for external more
since grad date is going to hurt me
on internal apps
for ABG yes for CS no
idk
Yo the person I know who got meta summer lyft fall was a freshman at uc riverside
Wtf have you been on campus here
like for internal apps im putting 2027 for external 2025

sounds good ty
bro u think loo kids touch grass comapred to ucr 
No but you said abg
lmao
why not 2026?
cause they see ur grad date on ww and on ww my grad date is 2027 cause coop

bro u dont just get lucky LMAO
@sinful locust do u still study math or fully cs now
not with meth
i stuck w math lol
based
who saw that
who is that
A very poggers comedian
honestly everyone needs to learn that grinding all day isnt going to get you anywhere, it just matters where you get new grad, so just enjoy college and work slowly towards your goals
leetcode mediums
*grind the right things
exactly
But it's not just about how hard a problem is
have fun too
It's about how well you can convey yourself
How to grind graph questions? Any resources
Problem really don't matter
Codeforces hard (5d dp on graphs)
Tags -> graphs?
This is true
Med with possible hard follow ups if you don’t have cp on your resume
Cf if you do
Don't focus on one thing tho
Know a bit about everything
Or else you can really get fucked if you know nothing about one topic
But directly starts from there or any other reading material, videos etc
Juda you passed Twitter interview you’ll pass google interview dw
@gentle latch I have a good goal for you. Become cf red
bro i literally know this girl who interned @ cruise, nvidia, research @ harvard and SJSU and had proper published papers with a 4.0 5s on all her ap's and still got rejected from stanford
shit was insane this year
College is a scam
Thanks fam
Idk why people obsess over topics so much on lc
and ur on this discord more then me
What did he do that your saying to touch graas?
all lc problems are exactly the same
Neetcode has a video about graphs
Ok
it depends on a lot of stuff lmao, its not just what you did, its how you market yourself. if you cure cancer but cant write for your life, youre not getting into an ivy league or top school
thats just the bottom line
you have to be a good writer

Have you done every graph problem in the leetcode.com/explore/interview
easy/med/hard cards?
@swift shore
Not many, actually I am doing pattern by pattern so before jumping to start solving I thought to ask here
there’s no sure way to get into any college, very common for very smart people to get rejected
Well the learn section and the interview section on leetcode explore are good starting points and generally cover common categories, besides that neetcode goes over some not so common graph problems that show up in interviews too
Lol I got rejected from uc riverside
No
Very bad school
Worst uc gang
For recruiting atleast it is
Citadel recruiter literally said "yeah your school isnt good it's looking bad for you" when I asked if I had a chance of an interview
I'm p sure I only got the interview because coinbase was on my resume
hi who tagged me
Nah uc merced is the worst uc in everyway
Meek
Meek
u actually need to touch grass lol
@soft mist look at this man
u thought i dont touch grass and then see ayo
Oh well mine was like a 2 or 3 lol

Junior year second semester gpa 1.33
