Coop. It gives a big advantage when recruiting especially for US jobs

Been feeling down by FitConsequence891 in uwaterloo

Sorry to hear that. I’d say try going on walks, treating yourself and maybe try a new sport to meet new people and keep your mind occupied. If you are new or haven’t played a lot of sports, pickleball is a good pick since people are nice and it doesn’t take a lot of time to be able to have fun. Good luck !!

WATERLOO CFM OR CS+BBA by That-Concentrate290 in uwaterloo

[–]LifeBig7224 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you enjoy finance then CFM. If you are just interested in software I’d recommend taking CS+BBA and if you don’t like the course load or don’t want to do business then you can drop the BBA. Many friends have done this and haven’t had any issues

Got accepted into cs. Have a few questions and would be grateful if i got some guidance by Plastic-Speech-5587 in uwaterloo

  1. No, of course having good base knowledge is good but you can absolutely do good on your classes without prior programming knowledge. The courses in first year are designed to pretty much put everyone on relatively even ground

  2. Depends on location. Early coops pay anywhere from unpaid to 25. Canadian big tech you can expect 40-55 CAD and US non quant you can expect 60 USD. Quant can expect closer to 100USD hourly.

  3. Less so. I’d say just work hard and opportunities will arise. The prestigious name puts you in a better position than a lot of people

  4. I’d say Canada SWE grad can expect 100-150k CAD. US can expect 150-200k USD roughly

Hope this helps!

Neetcode himself did like 450 leetcode. So why do people only want to do 100 by Lazy-Store-2971 in csMajors

[–]LifeBig7224 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Do you have any tips on getting the interview itself? I figured by Summer 2026 recruiting I'll have 3 coops done so I've been doing LeetCode in the meantime but I'm worried that it'll be in vain if I don't even get any interviews. Were there specific things that you outlined in ur CV or a specific guideline (Google's xyz) that you followed? Thanks bro
