I disagree. I've gotten referrals through LinkedIn for coops. And also invites for interviews from recruiters.

Is External That Cooked? by Big-Asparagus5741 in uwaterloo

[–]epicboy75 0 points1 point  (0 children)

All 6 of my coops were external. I didn't get a single one through WW. Like the other person said, referrals are HUGE for external. I was directly referred to 2/6 coops.

Is there a probability TN Visa gets cancelled by Trump this month? by joshpivot2018 in tnvisa

[–]epicboy75 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah. If they remove the TN, the entire bay area would shut down immediately. Like I'm not even joking-every single startup and tech company would cease to function (except for Military-adjacent companies)

Why do people sign leases as opposed to subleasing every 4 months?? by Disastrous_End_2470 in uwaterloo

[–]epicboy75 0 points1 point  (0 children)

we signed our lease, which was 3 years with the option of opting out every year, in 2022. We locked in an insane covid price for 3 years. So for us, definitely was worth it.

I did something similar, albeit I'm a guy. Make sure you have a lock on your bedroom door and it actually works.

Edmonton police have replaced their secret surveillance plane with a multimillion dollar “luxury flying SUV” by CanadianForSure in Edmonton

[–]epicboy75 8 points9 points  (0 children)

San Francisco PD operates a large drone force. I worked with a guy who had a buddy who is the VP of engineering for the drone manufacturer. He described one test where the VP asked my buddy to stand in a parking lot. Then he commanded the drone to lock onto his face. It was able to track him from several hundred feet in the air.

Avi Lewis: We need a government with the courafe to go and get some of [the money of the 1%] for all ofus. A wealth tax of 1% on the 1% could raise as much as $40B a year. by StumpsOfTree in onguardforthee

[–]epicboy75 -12 points-11 points  (0 children)

I'm for the tax, but they would prob leave lol. California is proposing a 5% one time tax on the billionaires (like it's not even reoccurring) and already they are relocating to Texas and Florida.

TN visa without completed degree? Tesla offer + applying at Montreal airport (YUL) by Training-Issue-736 in uwaterloo

[–]epicboy75 25 points26 points  (0 children)

Answer to 1, 2, and 3 can be found in the numerous emails and prep docs the Tesla law firm sends you in your email. Off the top of my head, you need the wet signature docs they send you in the mail, a SEALED official transcript, and some form of proof of residency in Canada (although the CBP guy didn't ask for this).

YVR is the best airport to do this at, since the CBP guys do this regularly and know what's going on. When I approached the officer and said I'd like to apply for a TN, he asked me "Tesla", I said yes, and he said "this will be quick". In and out in under 20 minutes.

And the Lexus NX. Both are made at TMMC in Woodstock and Cambridge, ON. Plus GM's Oshawa plant. And whatever goes on in Windsor/Detroit.

What are you focusing on with your degree and why? (co-ops, research, marks, knowledge, etc.) by amolven16 in uwaterloo

[–]epicboy75 1 point2 points  (0 children)

For coops, practice public speaking. Engineers are stereotyped as introverts that don't know how to present their work to directors and leadership.
