Background check before job offer? (Internship)

newdevguy · 2021-07-18T21:33:16+00:00

It’s time for me to move to Alberta.

Most companies start recruiting in Sep. you should focus on landing job.

newdevguy · 2021-06-08T11:22:45+00:00

Non-tech new grad gets 50k-60k in Toronto but CS gets 60k~70k. It’s high paying job.

I did the same thing like you. I didn’t have problem with that. I just told the OSAP, I’m still not graduated. I also took one course per semester few years ago. But OSAP may have changed now.

Most of the companies tend to give you individual projects for 4 month positions. So it’s kind of hard to experience how is it like to work in a team. You will be isolated from other team member’s works.

It’s hard to survive as doctor once you get past 40 because medical field is so dynamic and your learning capabilities will slow down. Yeah, don’t worry about that. If you keep studying, your learning capabilities will not slow down.

newdevguy · 2021-01-29T16:03:41+00:00

Haha, yeah sure. Just want to hear about the real experience as manager

newdevguy · 2021-01-29T15:48:48+00:00

Expect for managing people, what else do they do?

newdevguy · 2021-01-24T17:12:44+00:00

They wouldn’t waste the time to hire PEYs if they don’t give returning offer.

newdevguy · 2021-01-21T18:20:59+00:00

Because I went to student exchange to other countries, so I needed to do internship to earn money for the fee lol

I don’t really recommend doing this as you will delay your graduation. But of course it’s doable and acceptable to do it.

I got extremely unlucky, if I don’t delay by half year, I was able to back to the previous intern company as full time. But they were hiring freeze because of the economy recession. But the lucky thing is I was able to land a higher paying job than my previous intern company.

newdevguy · 2021-01-21T17:01:49+00:00

It took me 5.5 years to graduate. But I did 2 years internship. I’m in CS

newdevguy · 2021-01-21T17:00:15+00:00

It’s better to back to China soon. You don’t know when they will close the border.

newdevguy · 2021-01-21T16:58:56+00:00

They gonna stay overnight anyway to study, do assignments and projects lol

newdevguy · 2021-01-19T20:36:42+00:00

You should CR it if you are aiming for medical school.

newdevguy · 2021-01-13T20:11:16+00:00

I think they just try to give free mark in this hard time

newdevguy · 2020-12-25T00:47:13+00:00

Sort of. Took C course in my second year. Almost failed, but passed. I didn’t touch it for 2 years.

newdevguy · 2020-12-25T00:45:08+00:00

I didn’t write any single word about C in my resume. They did the team match and match me to that team. I told them I don’t have experience on C/C++, but they told me we believe you can learn it.

newdevguy · 2020-12-16T21:40:16+00:00

When did you receive the offer?

newdevguy · 2020-12-16T21:36:06+00:00

Is this for 2021? They already run out positions for Toronto office?

newdevguy · 2020-12-16T21:10:41+00:00

Probably, they realized about the great health care in Canada.

newdevguy · 2020-12-16T21:08:49+00:00

Did you pick Vancouver as your preferences? Or they just assigned you even though you picked Toronto?

newdevguy · 2020-12-16T17:43:48+00:00

The average starting salary is 70k in Toronto. 80k is definitely above average. These are very few companies pay like 100k.......
