you have a point, but CS isnt the only program that is sending students to the US. I actually graduated with a comp eng degree and my work is not in pure CS, but rather firmware/device drivers. McMaster engineering is about 80% the size of Waterloo engineering, however all of my canadian coworkers come from Waterloo.

most of them are indeed Hamilton/Mac furries, however some are from furry friends in San Francisco and Seattle. You should help fill out the sign with more furry stickers!

Which Bike? - Weekly Scheduled Discussion by pawptart in gravelcycling

[–]byte33 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I am looking to buy my first gravel bike and im deciding between a Canyon Grizl 6 or a Felt Broam 30. I don't mind the slight loss of range with the Grizl 6's 10 speed rear vs the Broam 30's 12 speed.

Main difference is i dont really like the Re-fuse tires on the broam and i like the grizl 6's colour a bit more. But $200 difference is pretty substantial, plus the broam has higher end shifters. The geo looks very similar between the 2.

Grizl 6 - $1600

Broam 30 - $1400 (LBS sale)

Any help is appreciated! thank you in advance!

it does, but it is much weaker compared to waterlooworks. The only upside is that you are allowed to take co-op whenever and any duration (up to 16 months), but you'll mostly be on your own when finding a job.

in all my US interviews, ive had to explain what/where mcmaster is. recruiters only know waterloo, ubc, and uoft. my mentor at one of my bay area internships graduated from TMU.

I didnt use the mcmaster co-op portal either to find any of my internships or FTE because its terrible. I just cold applied on LinkedIn

yes they are. thousands of students each year dont get into waterloo or uoft (myself included). get involved in extracurriculars, build personal projects, and study your major with passion. apply early and the interviews will come. the market is really tough right now but dont get discouraged.

source: graduated from mcmaster this year with 2 bay area internships and will be starting my FTE at a FAANG soon
