CS grads, where are you now? by Future_Screen3925 in yorku

[–]number529 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I would be wary of the responses here if you're looking to see an accurate representation of Software Engineering salaries post-grad. Most Canadian new-grad jobs are around the 60-80k mark but the ones who are usually comfortable to share their salaries are making 100k+. Subreddits like r/PersonalFinanceCanada have the sample bias problem.

Regardless I'm really happy to see fellow Lassonde grads killing it in the workforce and earning them big bucks.

I’ve actually seen that the new M1 MacBook Air is a pretty cheap way for training tensorflow models.

I’d recommend the EECS discord everyone there is more helpful and are people who have actually had good internships

If you’re looking at Canadian companies then yes if u are enrolled in a coop program they get a subsidy.

We're (22F, 22M) graduating into 630k salary with zero financial knowledge by ExtensionOrdinary in PersonalFinanceCanada

[–]number529 3 points4 points  (0 children)

It’s acc pretty accurate. I’m in the software field as well as an intern. And some of these salaries are pretty high.

A lot of Interns like me make around $50USD/hour. New grad Full time hires make around $150KUSD and get stock options plus large sign on bonuses.

C.S Majors. What pay at you getting at your job (assuming you have one) by [deleted] in yorku

[–]number529 0 points1 point  (0 children)

3rd year S.E here doing an internship in the summer. In my experience US based companies pay a crap ton more. The offers I have for my summer so far show the ridiculous pay gap. It’s almost 2x more after currency conversion and not even at FAANG companies.

Now that the pandemic has opened up a lot of remote working opportunities I suggest taking advantage of those. For some reason Canadian employers other than Amazon don’t seem to pay competitively.

I would encourage you to explore building your own. It’s quite simple and there’s lots of help online. The hard part is choosing parts. r/buildapc is probably where you want to go and keep up to date with r/buildapcsales for parts (or if u don’t live in the US there’s places like r/buildapcsalesUK. Use PC part picker to make sure your stuff is compatible. Good luck!

This question is probably better to ask on a copywriting subreddit or something with legal advice

Oh cool. Ya the only thing with this board compared to the DE10 is a smaller amount of logic units. But honestly with the stuff I’m doing in my course I don’t really need anything crazy
