#

I am blind ๐Ÿฅ€

#

Honestly none of these are that good

#

What is Arecsium TC

spice maple
#

for internship? its 10k/month + 8k housing stipend (USD)

chilly wadi
#

You are waterloo FS right

#

You will get every Proc

#

Just go to Arecesium

spice maple
#

what is FS?

chilly wadi
#

For Sure

spice maple
chilly wadi
#

Arcesium is not the best Resume Value

spice maple
chilly wadi
#

But get your Money

spice maple
#

what is best resume value? My friend did shopify and got a lot of procs? so thats what i was thinking too

#

but its poverty

chilly wadi
#

Shopify + Waterloo is a good combination

#

Can you do Arcesium and write it as DESCO

spice maple
#

i doubt it, its not a subsidary

#

i looked into it

chilly wadi
#

For Pure Resume Value Shopify > Cloudflare > TTD > Arcesium

spice maple
#

its a "spinoff" which means the people that own DESCO own it but its a seperate legal entity ๐Ÿ˜ญ

spice maple
#

do yk if shopify lets u push offer to next term?

#

i wanna do arcesium for the money ๐Ÿ˜‚

chilly wadi
#

spice maple
#

bro thats the opposite of what they do

late flower
#

Thatโ€™s doesnโ€™t make sense lol

spice maple
#

they go for people that have familiar names

#

cause its a higher chance of performing well

late flower
#

Damn it im ngmi ๐Ÿ˜ซ

#

shopify + loo interns go on to perform really well, which is why they get a lot of rpocs

#

cause tis very common

late flower
#

spice maple
#

#

ai rbo

#

this guy trynna aurafarm

#

spark hemlock
#

ttd pays best but cf is best name + better if u want to move to us

#

shop is also good but pays less and is less of a "tech company" than cf is

buoyant surge
#

Whatโ€™s the highest you know?

ember olive
#

buddy thatโ€™s what they said ab zon

#

every zon prev ik has gotten some sort of quant proc or bare minimum db

#

donโ€™t try to say ttd stock comp is eq to faang lmfao

#

down 30% on the year

#

you telling me u think this stock is just as good as like meta

#

stock is a large part of senior comp

#

and like a quarter of ng

#

u think this bum ass advertising company is gonna perform better next year than meta?

#

โ€œmarket hasnโ€™t priced this inโ€ such a shit take

#

so what youโ€™re saying is every single stock is equally likely to perform/exact same ev because the โ€œmarket priced itโ€

#

damn

#

canโ€™t argue with that

#

iโ€™m done w this lmfao

meager pivot
#

Bro why are they bringing stocks up๐Ÿ˜ญ๐Ÿ˜ญ๐Ÿ˜ญ๐Ÿ˜ญ

#

How is that relevant omg

noble nacelle
#

worst tier list

#

why is every quant above big tech

#

is this ranked by salary or what

#

then its bad

#

in what way

#

besides pay

#

and even then some of these quants pay similar to big tech

#

prestige to who

#

๐Ÿ˜‚

#

cscd

#

sig susquehanna is aura bro ๐Ÿ”ฅ

#

lol no

#

shit firm

#

as an example

#

are you quant

#

bro wants to get laid off after working 80 hours for 6 months straight

#

stop the cap

#

go ask a random person on the street if they know what 5 rings is

#

if ur argument is aura

#

some of them dont pay 500k

#

or even close to it

#

no they dont

#

its not an opinion

#

how can you disagree with a fact

#

its a fact some of them do not pay 500k

#

my source is going thru sig process and asking about salary

#

๐Ÿ˜‚

#

im sure a bunch more are the same

#

qd

#

it matches levels

#

if your only metric is tc then sure

#

most people enjoy having lives

#

but even then if ur metric is tc then the tier list is shit

#

if it was then tesla would be d

#

life dream ๐Ÿ”ฅ

#

dangle carrot in front of engineers

#

tesla is shaping humanitys future ๐Ÿ”ฅ

#

elon is a fraud

#

he merged xai for a gov bailout

#

bro fell for the propaganda

#

its over

buoyant surge
#

tc as the only metric is bad

noble nacelle
#

hes ragebaiting

buoyant surge
#

prestige from just tc is ridiculous

#

no but most people say quant > big tech, that's why

noble nacelle
buoyant surge
noble nacelle
#

thats a good one

buoyant surge
#

fs

#

but there's probably more lol

noble nacelle
#

unicorns and trendy big tech (ai rn)

buoyant surge
#

don't they require masters/phd?

noble nacelle
#

theres only a few quants worth working for

buoyant surge
noble nacelle
#

yea like t1

#

for example, optiver has really scummy practices with graduate hiring ive heard

#

they cut people before the first yearly bonus

spice maple
#

They give cash stipends on top it comes out to about 98k

ember olive
#

figure?

#

there are hella humanoid startups

lost knoll
#

also ppl will talk ab wlb and then proceed to just come home, watch reels, scroll discord, and sleep ๐Ÿ’€

#

like over 60

#

no

ember olive
#

i think anything under 80 is chill ngl

#

hours are worse in academia

#

dude

lost knoll
#

bro bankers work 100 hour weeks

ember olive
#

the phd i work with sleeps in the lab

lost knoll
#

no way 55 is terrible

#

bankers do it on 14+

ember olive
#

not terrible if u sleep 4-6 hr

#

yes?

#

last sem i was easily over 80 hrs

#

3 lab positions + 19 ee credits + tutoring + independent research

#

itโ€™s not that bad

#

iโ€™m relatively in shape

#

have friends

#

etc

#

4-6 hr

lost knoll
#

im ngl if ppl can have a whole roster, many friends, and be jacked working 100 hours/week you're a bum if you cant do that on 60

lost knoll
#

they literally can

#

do you know any bankers?

ember olive
#

ts dude talking out his ass

#

i have literally worked 80 hr weeks

#

last summer i did 3 pt research positions + zon intern

#

more than 70 hrs

#

last sem was closer to like 90

lost knoll
#

u sound insanely privileged to think 55 hours is a bad life bro

ember olive
#

i actually have a low resting heart rate

lost knoll
ember olive
#

mfs donโ€™t know what life is like for us

#

street hustling

lost knoll
#

bro... you're sitting on a $2000 chair in a perfectly air con-d office with unlimited free snacks on a mf company estate worth hundreds of millions

ember olive
#

some of us work on stuff we enjoy

lost knoll
#

like you are not breaking ur back doing hard work

ember olive
#

like irl

#

is that also unsustainable in your opinion?

lost knoll
#

you can make the desk standing, you can use a walking pad, you can work outside...

#

like you have everything at ur disposal

#

my point is that 55 hours is far, far from a bad life especially when your situation is so comfortable

#

like nothing stopping u from using a walking pad

#

ik ppl that do

#

you have free healthy snacks

#

free gyms too sometimes

#

depends on your role but could be yeah

#

yeah you might be but it's only mental tiredness, not mental and physical

#

all things considered it's a great situation

empty wasp
#

is cf not the obv choice here

#

shopify is buns

wheat halo
#

@spice maple how did u get offer already for shop? I just had life story they said offers are next week

wheat halo
#

Itโ€™s not buns but itโ€™s just lower full time pay

empty wasp
#

no its legit buns lmao the name gets u nowhere compared to cloudflare

rocky latch
#

^

#

The brand has been tarnished due to dilution

wheat halo
#

I mean money isnโ€™t everything tho

#

A lot of my friends say the experience itself is great

#

But obv I think cloudflare is better

rain sierra
#

What did cloudfare ask for technical interview question? i have a swe backend interview coming up with them would be a huge help!

buoyant surge
#

wdym it's a canadian company?

buoyant surge
#

well yeah everyone wants to go states so understandable

#

so company pay and location is the issue here it seems?

#

work wise there's plenty to learn and do

empty wasp
#

trust bro 3 canadians are telling u shopify is ahh trust

rocky latch
#

I wouldnโ€™t say most of big tech loo just has a much larger undergrad compared to other schools

#

So itโ€™s easier to be over represented

#

and thats js cs, uw as cfm, se, and the other se adjacent engs

spark hemlock
#

cf is def best name especially for startups and unicorns

spice maple
#

cf is hiring 1100

spice maple
#

bro what is this arguement ๐Ÿ˜ญ

#

shopify hires 1000 interns and its ass, but cloudflare can do the same because its not canadian

#

that makes no sense

chilly wadi
#

recruit for better none of these will move the needle more than the other

#

Waterloo + Shopify will already get everything

#

No LMFAO

#

Amazon >>

#

He is waterloo

#

Top school

#

Yes

#

Better network

#

Amazon is still considered a top company

#

Nobody knows what TTD is in sf

#

Yes

#

But Amazon is a very good name to get on your resume

#

You can target mostly any company

empty wasp
#

its not abt how many interns they hire

#

the resume value is just not high compared to CF

#

source: a friend worked at shopify

spice maple
#

damn really

#

i have friends that worked at shopify and got basically every proc imaginaable

#

after shopify

#

(all shopify + loo btw)

chilly wadi
#

Waterloo is strong

#

That is why

spice maple
#

but u think cf + waterloo > shopify + waterloo?

#

from resume value perspective purely idc about ft tc

chilly wadi
#

They will see waterloo and give you interview

spice maple
#

bruh its not that op

spice maple
#

I have not gotten many interviews

#

I have a good gpa, just chose to work at a startup last year (no name) instead of a big name company and it cooked me. Got a lot of practical exp but having brand names on ur resume is defo more important than being waterloo

ornate pelican
#

cloudflare

spice maple
#

yeah well cloudflare is hypo if i get the offer i will take it

worn inlet
#

Aside from it being Canadian why do people keep calling it buns here

#

Isnโ€™t it solid for resume value?

#

Forget tc

#

Yeah but why

#

Yeah Iโ€™ve noticed tons of loo going there

#

Oh well

#

honestly for me the only thing that matters as a second year is resume value

#

I think coming from a non target if I land it it'll be the biggest thing I have ๐Ÿ’€

spark hemlock
#

shop and cloudflare will easily help move the needle

#

especially cf

#

i mean these are all hypo anyways but
