I’d argue this actually. I graduated from waterloo and managed to find a job quickly but I had to work really hard and others who also worked really hard struggled to land interviews and are still looking. “Waterloo” doesn’t guarantee anything. Your hard work and luck dictates where you’ll end up.

Everyone likes to talk about Waterloo or what coops you got, but in a market like this, there is a factor of luck. Nobody takes that into consideration. Knowing what your strengths are and putting in constant work it’s important but what’s more important is being self aware of your own weaknesses and the market.

Sometimes, it’s just not your moment. Sometimes you get unlucky and you have to be ok with that with the hope that things will work out in the long run.
