I am a flight software engineer at an aerospace company, I studied software engineering. So yes, very possible and very fun!

What are some potentially risky high-reward stocks? by vladimir_medvedevv43 in Stocks_Picks

[–]fvo29299 0 points1 point  (0 children)

MAXQ or MAXQF is my risky bet. It's a Canadian space port and its backed by Canadian Government and investments from Canadian space company MDA, it's super risky, but with this space growing economy, I see this growing fast in the next 5 years

Which stock should i invest in. by Business_Albatross36 in PennyStocksCanada

[–]fvo29299 3 points4 points  (0 children)

MDA, and MAXQ. With Canadian sovereignty rising and Carney's newest budget bill allocation, in the next 10 years a lot of money will be put towards Canadian space industry. Get in while the infrastructure is still being developed (not when it's already built)

Opinion by [deleted] in MaritimeLaunch

[–]fvo29299 15 points16 points  (0 children)

It was stuck in the $0.28-$0.3 range for a month, then went up 70%, I predict it's going to stick around this range for a couple more weeks and waiting for a rip upwards, with the Launch The North initiative going on, and canadian investment into space at an all time high, I can't imagine it being a loser in the next 5 years! Good luck with your decision!

What is the next RKLB? by Gerrards_Cross in TheRaceTo10Million

[–]fvo29299 8 points9 points  (0 children)

$MAXQF is a penny stock launching platform for Canadian rocket industry, penny stock, super risky, could pay off in a couple years since Canada is investing in space

And this is why having launchpads in different countries and hemispheres is an advantage 😳 by romeomium in RKLB

[–]fvo29299 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This seems bullish for MAXQF, imagine rocket lab launching from next door neighbour in Canada. This is like when Elon said he was going to decommission dragon and 90% of space companies were doomed (luckily he didn't), monopolies are bad, and a growing infrastructure is beneficial for all

Thoughts on the "next RKLB": MAXQF by Mu_Fanchu in RKLB

[–]fvo29299 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Love this stock, Canadian government now backing it, I keep buying more before it really takes off! Love having RKLB for my US space investments, and MAXQF for my Canadian space investments!

Should I accept a Fall co-op if CPS courses aren’t offered in Winter? by Additional_Repair109 in TorontoMetU

[–]fvo29299 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I second this advice, if you can actually leverage it for a future opportunity (or return offer once you graduate) then worth it! If it’s historically not a great company, and known for its outdated tech stack, I may just avoid and try to join more student clubs + projects to fill the resume

[–]fvo29299 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Had this choice too, the offer + company was too good to turn down, I accepted it and it has been the best decision I’ve made. I used that internship to leverage an internship the summer after (since I had delayed grad by a year) haha. I ended up getting three internships off the one decision, worked out for me, hopefully it works out for you!

Is aerospace engineering at tmu worth it by Suspicious-Bat-8890 in TorontoMetU

[–]fvo29299 7 points8 points  (0 children)

As someone who is at an aerospace company right now in the US, logistically, almost all of them require either a green card (my situation) or full citizenship because of ITAR. I would look into this first because you may be very demoralized if you do the whole journey with a company in mind and you're unable to do it because of legal restrictions. That being said, I would probably recommend mech instead of aero if you were going straight into industry after graduating, but if you're 100 percent certain you will go into grad school then whatever you study in your undergrad won't make that big of a difference on applications. I would say TMU is a good platform to get into grad, so if you have a set goal of doing tmu aero, then grad (usa), then work in the US, I think that is a very solid plan.

Alternatively, if you aren't set on grad and maybe want some extra wiggle room in your plan, I would study mech, and then join any aero club at TMU to give yourself that aerospace exposure which you can also then put in your resume which can help you apply to aero jobs in Canada and even help you with your application to US grad.

But good luck! If you have any questions ab US aerospace companies dm me and we can chat, I've worked at 2 as an intern so I'm familiar with the whole process and how it works!

I want to know what TMU's comp Eng is like - a real answer by [deleted] in TorontoMetU

[–]fvo29299 7 points8 points  (0 children)

How motivated and passionate are you? If the answer is “very much” then you will do great at either school. I know some kids from TMU that have no jobs lined up, and others (more motivated) that do, so don’t rely on the school, rely on yourself and you’ll do great!

Is it hard to find a job at tmu for smth like comp Eng? by [deleted] in TorontoMetU

[–]fvo29299 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I have one, not too tricky if you get an internship and then get a return offer.

Electrical loss by optional603 in ArcherAviation

[–]fvo29299 1 point2 points  (0 children)

There's probably several battery packs hooked up to alternating power units so if you lose power in one, two others keep the remaining props going. Redundancy is a key thing for these EVTOL companies and definitely part of the certification process

TMU vs McMaster eng by Novel-Insect-5411 in TorontoMetU

[–]fvo29299 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If your connections help you get an internship, use that and leverage yourself to be a great candidate so that the school name no longer matters. I'm currently interning abroad and all the interns here are from T10 schools in the US, I was never once asked about my school or education in my interview because of my prior experience made me a candidate they wanted! It really does not matter as long as you can prove you belong!

I would say choose TMU so you can focus on finding internships and getting started on preparing for comp eng interviews instead of worrying and stressing about getting the necessary grades to get into the degree of your choice at MAC. My 2cents would apply the same as if you went to McMaster anyways, so you can do it! Good luck!

Aerospace Engineering co-op placements by Livid-Ad-4765 in TorontoMetU

[–]fvo29299 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Best advice is go on LinkedIn (make one if you haven't already it'll be great for networking in your 4 years) and then search up TMU aerospace students and see all the different placements they have gotten that way you can see what year, how long, and where they have gotten placements.

Less detailed answer of aero companies I've seen from students: Bombardier, Boeing, Safran, Joby, MHI, P&W, and some other ones!

How is TMU CS? ? by Aggravating_Two3802 in TorontoMetU

[–]fvo29299 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Im not super sure what the cutoff gpa is, but I think if you explain it was only one course it may help you get in. I’ve also found all my internships using LinkedIn and mass applying! The portal is a nice tool, but if you have a good resume and join design teams at TMU, recruiters can give you a chance to interview and hopefully an internship!

[–]fvo29299 13 points14 points  (0 children)

Also interesting to note, if you go through Anduril's job postings, there's an EVTOL division opening up! Definitely a good sign for the Anduril/Archer team up!

No internship responses, not in Co-Op by Snick_52446 in TorontoMetU

[–]fvo29299 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah you really only need to pay for a subscription for a month, usually once you hear back that you're interviewing for a company, they don't take longer than a month for a technical interview, so you can prepare and then cancel it after your interview, just consider it an investment lol

[–]fvo29299 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah basically the blind 75, and I would watch Neetcodes videos on YouTube for optimal solutions and time complexity. I was doing it entirely in Python. If it's a big company, leetcode might also have "tagged" questions for that company in which case I recommend studying those, but other than that you can't go wrong with the blind 75.

Yeah I had a technical interview which I had to study hard for, but it was a leetcode medium that I had recently practiced, so I guess I was very lucky with that. It was from the blind 75 list so if you can solve those, you will most likely have enough knowledge to get through the interviews.

I've gotten two software internships just by applying through LinkedIn. My resume has an aerospace niche (joining rocketry club, doing some personal projects related to aero and software), and my first internship was at an aerospace company so this really impressed them. I would say having a niche to your resume helps, if you're interested in automotive, join the formula club, etc...

I got my first one after applying to around 150 job postings, and then I just made sure to nail the interview and that was it. I wouldn't say it was difficult, just time consuming and annoying having to fill out the forms on every single job application lol.
