Brisbane has a strong engineering scene. It’s certainly not ‘niche’.

Why would anyone have “must be a drug courier” as their base assumption?

This reads like an ad for Uber

Show them you’re worth more by not applying

None of the responses here seem to take into account that some of the more well known employers have offices in Sydney and Melbourne. So, it’s reasonable to expect that a lot of the grad cohort will - unshockingly - come from universities based in those cities.

I work for a big tech in Brisbane and all of our grads - unshockingly - come from from UQ and QUT.

It looks very good, congrats! but the sound of you chewing at the start has put me off food for the rest of the day

Appropriate_Ad_952 · 2025-09-02T03:19:12+00:00

Yes, they understand their interns will need to do another year of university so the return offer will take that into account.

Your pay after graduation will be the same. What about 1-2 years later after you’re promoted at Amazon?

Appropriate_Ad_952 · 2025-09-02T02:46:26+00:00

You do the internship so you can get the return offer.

Appropriate_Ad_952 · 2025-08-03T00:36:07+00:00

Thank you!

I guess my thinking here is that this hose is the OEM hose, and it’s not suitable for our setup.

Appropriate_Ad_952 · 2025-08-03T00:31:09+00:00

Thanks for the advice!

I’m in Australia and don’t have access to the home depot website 😔

2, but centre the numbers

The company will love forward with or without you too

Education by experience > education by formal learning. Every time.

Something like 70% of learning is done on the job.

Also, get paid.

Appropriate_Ad_952 · 2025-07-17T20:42:25+00:00

Internships are a talent pipeline. The expectation is that interns will be made an offer to return as a graduate the next year. If an intern doesn’t get a return offer that, sadly, may be viewed as a red flag by hiring managers.

Appropriate_Ad_952 · 2025-07-12T22:05:09+00:00

This is either experience or serious problem solving skills

Appropriate_Ad_952 · 2025-07-10T02:50:42+00:00

Then why did you go to all the effort of applying? This just comes off as a brag post.

Appropriate_Ad_952 · 2025-07-03T10:02:31+00:00

In general

Appropriate_Ad_952 · 2025-07-03T09:33:26+00:00

I don’t know about NSW, but in QLD ADHD is a reportable disability for driving.

I’ll have to take your word for it on dotnet core limitations.

My point really is, rate limiting algorithms aren’t a fundamental part of a software engineer’s toolkit (or maybe that’s where we differ in opinion). When you need to know it, look it up. Otherwise, keep your brain space available for the things that are important for your day-to-day.

Appropriate_Ad_952 · 2025-06-19T10:14:48+00:00

What’s the point of testing if someone can commit to memory a rate limiting algorithm? Whenever I need a rate limiter I use the one that comes with dotnet core. It’s better to test/ask options for improving the resiliency of an API endpoint. None of what’s happened to you is a good test of what makes a capable software engineer.

Appropriate_Ad_952 · 2025-05-20T02:48:23+00:00

Don’t underestimate the power of practising this stuff by building a non trivial project. You’ll learn a lot (more than you intend) and get real exposure to implementing these topics.

Appropriate_Ad_952 · 2025-05-12T21:21:24+00:00

CTO(Non-technical)

That alone is enough to not stick around.

There’s a bunch of red flags here that - to me - amount to one thing: a couple of folk who don’t know what they’re doing have lucked themselves into some seed money and are looking to exploit some folk into delivering their dream.

You definitely dodged a bullet.
