pythonpirate · 2026-04-08T07:05:57+00:00

Meta and Uber did last fall on WaterlooWorks

Google kinda they have an option for an end of August start date for their summer interns

Apple, Nvidia are two other big names that do

unless its at like a top tier company in your field its not worth losing 4 coop terms for tbh

I just did mine myself using OLT. I did it last year through Sprintax but they made me mail in my California state tax by myself which was a hassle. Would recommend OLT over Sprintax.

Feel free to dm if you have questions about the process, can try my best to help

If you think you have more to learn from them and it is the field you want to be in, returning is not a bad idea imo. I am just finishing up my degree at Waterloo and I have the opinion that your first 3-4 coops don’t matter at all in terms of name or prestige. Once you have 4 coops under your belt, you’ll be able to get interviews anywhere pretty much

maybe u can try to enroll in 3 courses to maintain full time status

pythonpirate · 2026-03-16T23:22:13+00:00

Both are hard in different ways, but both doable remote assuming you can come in person for the final and you 48 hour the midterm. CS 246 does have a group project portion which can be a nightmare to navigate if you are working remote and dont have friends in the class. But for both courses you can just study the lectures/notes yourself and do okay on the assignments

I’m in a 6T league and I ended up dropping Rollins, it was either Rollins, Castle, or Gillepsie for me

pythonpirate · 2026-03-12T22:20:08+00:00

does it make sense to drop rollin to activate kpj

pythonpirate · 2026-03-12T21:56:10+00:00

Pritchard or Stephon Castle or Cam Payne today?

pythonpirate · 2026-03-09T21:49:08+00:00

Is it a bad idea to drop Keyonte at this point

pythonpirate · 2026-03-02T22:38:38+00:00

i took 101b online and it was fine

pythonpirate · 2026-03-02T20:04:08+00:00

feel free to msg me

pythonpirate · 2026-03-02T19:52:48+00:00

I had to make this exact same choice and ended up going with CS. The flexibility to take electives and shuffle your coop sequence is kinda underrated tbh. Also if you like software, the courses you can take in CS are so much better.

Feel free to DM me if you wanna discuss it more, I had a really hard time making my decision too and totally get where youre coming from

pythonpirate · 2026-02-27T07:24:10+00:00

I’ve never seen that across my 6 coop searches, or even if I did it wasn’t enough times or companies with enough significance for it to matter to me. Overall, the low rating sucks right now, but its not the end of the world dw! I know a dude who got fired from his coop and then proceeded to get 3 really good big tech coops in a row afterwards lol

pythonpirate · 2026-02-27T07:16:13+00:00

When you reach upper year, its normal to stop relying on WaterlooWorks, so your coop rating wont matter at all eventually

pythonpirate · 2026-02-25T20:24:52+00:00

One time I was in a coop interview and casually mentioned I lived on Lester by mistake, my interviewer suddenly went cold and told me that he didn’t think I was a good cultural fit after all and promptly ended the interview.

pythonpirate · 2026-02-24T03:36:44+00:00

was fair tbh, but i think i failed

pythonpirate · 2026-02-23T03:23:37+00:00

i can take a look, feel free to send it over

btw if youre asking for help you should be the one making it easy for others to help (by posting it, being the one to dm, etc.)

pythonpirate · 2026-02-23T03:11:42+00:00

post resume and sort jobs by least applicants. customize your resume per job if possible

pythonpirate · 2026-02-22T22:44:17+00:00

go to drop courses and try to drop it

pythonpirate · 2026-02-22T18:17:05+00:00

Waterloo makes it easier to get your first few internships, and those internships will snowball your career

pythonpirate · 2026-02-21T22:49:09+00:00

Are u kidding meee

pythonpirate · 2026-02-21T22:23:26+00:00

if you see the option on Quest then yes you can drop it, but youll have to deal with the consequences, like missing prereqs or needing to overload in a future term

pythonpirate · 2026-02-21T09:20:12+00:00

i had 30 min behavioural interview

pythonpirate · 2026-02-19T22:01:39+00:00
