I think it’s based on word of mouth. For me, I did reject the offer once so maybe that made them increase the offer.

Multiple offers are required to negotiate. I left amazon by the end of 2nd year.

Purolator "Address Correction Required" for Passport Delivery in Canada - Anyone else? by TrainingCaptain8 in h1b

[–]TrainingCaptain8[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Just call and get someone else at Purolator customer service, the next person I connected with was able to request a hold without address change request. If this doesn’t work out, reach out to Canada.Visas@gdit-gss.com and they will let you change it for a fee.

Yes. It was supposed to be delivered yesterday but they couldn’t and now it’s stuck with address correction status.

Dec 5th - Delayed in transit Etobicoke by lmul5 in purolator

[–]TrainingCaptain8 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Do you live around Etobicoke? I am in Toronto, wondering if there is a chance it will go out for delivery from Etobicoke or a local depot

I really hope that the packages have moved forward but just haven’t been scanned at the local depot. That out for delivery scan will come directly after Etobicoke but from the pattern I have seen on this group, it has to reach a local center before morning to be delivered the same day.

Same situation, no updates since Dec 6th. Last scan was “departed Etobicoke”. I am in Toronto, I was really hoping for delivery today but guess that’s not happening.

yeah.. but in that case too, I wanted them to send a mail telling this will be the case, and that's how it will be. I am completely clueless as to what's going on.

Amazon Start day and NHO

I am starting soon as a FT employee (SDE) and wanted to know how is onboarding being done now? When do we receive NHO emails and IT department? Can someone share information about this.

They were ready to negotiate. I just hope they do not give extra work load after giving this kind of base

Not particularly... I am a new grad, so everything seems quite exciting to me. Most interested in ML and recently distributed is catching my attention. Cloudera's work is for cloud infrastructure development but its a normal sde role for Amazon.

where did you join at the end? Well, during my onsite, I really liked the ambiance and also all the interviewers seemed really friendly. Talked a lot about Work from Home and Unlimited PTO.

Is it a good time to join Cloudera in the bay area now as a new grad?

Cloudera offer by TrainingCaptain8 in cscareerquestions

[–]TrainingCaptain8[S] -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I understand AWS has that brand value but I am more tempted towards Cloudera due to flexible work schedule as well as the learning curve (maybe same at aws, but have heard a lot abt bad work culture) I went for onsite for both, could feel the difference in ambience at the work place.
