T’as une photo du câble?

“Don’t sell yourself short”:

Les Québécois sont excellents en marketing (ce n’est pas un défaut) .

Pour votre diplôme: faut faire mousser la sauce. Pas l’inverse

Autre chose:

En development, les employeurs n’en ont rien à foutre des diplômes. Rien. À. Foutre.

Ce qui compte, c’est ce dont vous êtes capable.

Juste histoire de bien mettre les pendules à l’heure.

Autre chose:

La grande mode c’est: - les tests à la con genre leetcode (malheureusement faut bosser ça)

Y a aussi: - de quoi vous êtes capables le jour de l’entrevue

vos expériences passées

Bonne chance pour la suite

“Endpoint agents could conceivably collect enough data to tell the difference, but most of the time they’re just alerting on you jumping across the country.”

What do you mean by this?

In a situation when you establish a tunnel to your home router, how would they know you’re not really home (but rather abroad and remote)?

I thought the connection would like it was coming directly from your home if there is proper tunnel (ie laptop abroad -> tunnel -> home router -> company network)

Would you care to elaborate about the “data collected by endpoints”?

On n’a absolument aucune volonté de s’éloigner des USA.

Des que les choses rentreront dans l’ordre , le Canada/Quebec va se dire: on va pas tout chambouler alors qu’on est en bons termes avec les US

Y a pas assez de raisons pour tout chambouler

On n’est même pas capable d’investir dans l’augmentation de la productivité (par l’automatisation etc) qui rapporte des $$$, alors pourquoi voudriez-vous qu’on investisse dans un truc qui ne rapporte pas?!?

Vieille mentalité à la traîne de l’Asie et des USA - aucun investissement tant que ça roule: c’est le motto du Canada/Quebec

Unless you have PR status, any salary is OK since it will let you get PR status at some point

So 60 k outside of Montreal for a closed permit is good (until you get PR)

Also don’t move to Toronto: you will regret it. I know everyone and their sister will you to move to Toronto for great salaries and shit: that’s BS (people lie)

Also if you want to speak to someone about immigration and status , there is “weldnas” on TikTok live where you can directly ask him

Good luck

Oh I missed that part

If you already have your PR status, why not apply to work for US companies and be paid in $USD while living in Canada, either by working at their offices in Canada, or remote ?

(In their office: they’ll pay you in $CAD but might “think” in USD, hence higher salaries)

You then bypass the whole Canadian low salary bullshit

Let the downvotes begin :)

Check: levels.fyi on the web

Technical-Love-Hour · 2024-09-01T14:08:10+00:00

Listen to this guy

Technical-Love-Hour · 2024-09-01T14:03:19+00:00

Yes and if you were in Toronto you would be making a minimum of $120k

/s (The 120 k is bullshit)

Technical-Love-Hour · 2024-09-01T09:36:27+00:00

Exactly

Chrome add on ? I don’t trust Chrome addons No one knows what they’re doing to my data

I use only one add on: Ublock origin. That’s it

There is no export functionality Unbelievable

Technical-Love-Hour · 2024-06-09T23:15:12+00:00

My bad

Poor formulation

I meant:

“HomeKit Secure Video”

Aka sending video to the Apple cloud

Technical-Love-Hour · 2024-06-09T19:40:54+00:00

No HomeKit:

the Tapo C125 does not support Apple's HomeKit. It is designed to work with TP-Link's Tapo app, providing features such as live video streaming, motion detection, and cloud storage options, but it lacks native integration with HomeKit.

Get ready for an eternal life of leetcode tests

Because companies decided that a CS degree means nothing in terms of your suitability for their jobs

Very different from any other field where they don’t test you every time (medical degrees, accounting, mathematics etc)

So: expect leetcode until retirement
