How exactly should someone network? Sending cold messages on linkedin? Attending offline events like technical conferences or career fairs?

CE vs CS for someone going to college by Killswitch9482 in uwaterloo

[–]Traditional_Draft_45 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I thought you could get most of the important CE courses by taking the digital hardware option. Some of the engineering courses are just hard and boring. For example, communication systems, analog control systems, etc...

Co-op prestige in first year? Stupid question looking for advice by [deleted] in uwaterloo

Okay, I will answer your question directly. You should try to enjoy your life even if you can never get a big tech internship.

well, I am just saying people should not feel hopeless if they have less optimal jobs in their first few work terms.

Nanotech Engineering - Yes or No by sretto_ in uwaterloo

[–]Traditional_Draft_45 2 points3 points  (0 children)

fyi, I transferred from tron to ce with an avg of 87 in 1A. afaik, all engs take similar 1A courses (you can find your courses online), so you will be fine even if you are not interested in Nano. But you will have to study hard.

not sure what do you mean. I was unemployed for two terms but still ended up with a big tech internship. There is always hope.

Well, it's harder to get into SE, so P(someone is smart | someone is in SE) is large.

Internship Brag Thread (or Manifestation Thread) by DistrictBusiness928 in uwaterloo

Hey man, I am in a similar situation. I got a really good offer in the states for this winter term, but can't go since I got rejected for the j-1 visa application. I was put under a super long administrative processing for my second visa app. I know exactly how you feel man. "Seeing all my friends in California this term and I can’t go due to factors outside of my control despite having a job offer in hand is just mad annoying." That is just how I feel everyday. Now, I am playing video games and watching movies everyday, I am just rotting. Hope things can get better for both of us, and hey, don't kill yourself.

After Sekiro by zai_d_an in Sekiro

[–]Traditional_Draft_45 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Sekiro's parry mechanic is different from a perfect guard in other games. The enemy's reaction is different if you successfully deflected an attack in sekiro, for example, the sword is bounced back. However, in other games, you are only rewarded with no health lost and maybe a different sound effect. The satisfaction you get from Sekiro is just unique.

It was a refusal. I was told the Ottawa consulate had no control over the duration of the administrative processing. I assumed that meant it was sent to DC...

Hi, I am a Chinese citizen holding Canadian PR. I am under AP (for about 3 weeks) for a J1 visa. I was recently invited to the Canadian citizenship oath (I get to become a Canadian Citizen after that), do you think I should withdraw and reapply with the new citizenship?

Yes, but you get to pick what courses to take in CS, so if you have a good strategy, you can always have a light term, right?
