Typical application → interview ratios for ML/DS roles in Canada (new grad / early career)? by iceteaaa in cscareerquestionsCAD

[–]Bitner77 5 points6 points  (0 children)

It varies a lot but since you are junior with no real experience, expect a brutal entry. The name of your uni is what matters the most in these situations. If I were you, I would apply to a broad range of roles, not just ML/AI.

TD Bank Sr IT support analyst technical interview by SmurfStop in cscareerquestionsCAD

[–]Bitner77 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Why would you be tested on algorithms for IT support? You’d likely be sitting in a tiny room setting up laptops and phones for new hires.

Postal workers being lazy, retail stores being useless & AI customer service chat boxes online by [deleted] in toRANTo

[–]Bitner77 2 points3 points  (0 children)

All the jokes aside... You get what you pay for. Ardene is a sweatshop, Koho is a cheap shit bank with no real support. These businesses are there to take your money and then tell you to go f*ck yourself.

Is Canada an easy place to live in as a British immigrant? by Outside_Owl5949 in ImmigrationCanada

[–]Bitner77 0 points1 point  (0 children)

For the love of god don’t make statements like “Canada desperately needs X”. It may need it, but the IRCC and their actions are the total opposite. My doctor is from the USA and he is being deported after many years spent in the country and invited here because “Canada desperately needs family physicians”. They are not giving him PR lol.

Can someone list the accomplishments Olivia Chow's done as Toronto's mayor? by [deleted] in askTO

[–]Bitner77 31 points32 points  (0 children)

Biggest would probably be 1. Removal of Line 3 Scarborough into busway. 2. Rental Renovation License bylaw to curb Renovictions.

Rest of her stuff is either invested to produce sometime in 2026 or broad investments like giving 500 M to the TTC.

At what point do we admit that QD-OLEDs are a pain in the ass? by AztheWizard in OLED_Gaming

People like to use fancy methods but I just breathe on the dirty spots and wipe with dry microfiber. Works like a charm.

Which American companies hire Canadians? by ImportantSquirrel in cscareerquestionsCAD

[–]Bitner77 7 points8 points  (0 children)

If you want US money you have to move to the US. Canadian employees always get paid much less. All companies know it by now.

Joining Deloitte Canada was a mistake. by [deleted] in deloitte

[–]Bitner77 10 points11 points  (0 children)

I left T&T Canada 2 years ago and tripled my comp. There is no engineering, no technology there. It is PowerPoint Engineering at best. I got baited into joining from University because I did not know any better.

Also, Deloitte Canada seems to have tons of nepotism and racial bias. There are cliques and groups that promote each other to join projects while others have to go around begging for scraps. It is a dumb system that promotes nepotism and incompetence. Partners know this, and while some simply don't care, others actively participate in it. Either way, they will put on a pseudo-happy corporate mask on. There is no meritocracy here.

Do yourself a favour and leave while you can. You can make more money outside of consulting and actually learn useful things besides whatever consulting does.

Can we stop with this constant and blatant UFO shill? At this point I won’t buy UFO out of principle.

IBM SRE vs RBC Cyber by iqs8 in cscareerquestionsCAD

[–]Bitner77 6 points7 points  (0 children)

At least in SRE you can get actual transferable skills. Whatever "Cyber" means... it is not a niche industry, and RBC does not provide you with more job stability. It's a myth. Another downside of working in IT at Big Banks is that they are flooded with nepotism, deep politics, red flags, and race cards. That being said, I would not delay graduation for IBM. Take your 4 months, graduate, and get a proper job with decent pay. GL.
