  • way.

  • Today we are going to talk about internships.

  • Yes, we talk about this all the time, but I love about it.

  • So today we are going to talk about what are the top 10 saw for engineering internships you can get now?

  • Top internship is really subjective.

  • You know, some people like, for example, Apple or Google.

  • Some people like Google over Apple, so you don't really know.

  • It's kind of subjective, and also there's a lot of things to consider, like salary benefits, prestige.

  • You know, some people, it's all about that.

  • And then how much you're learned and then also the team and also the technology that they used.

  • Some people care about that some people don't.

  • So yeah, so it's kind of hard to have consulted all these together and come up with a good answer until now.

  • So there's this guy in Waterloo That's great.

  • Clinton.

  • You know, I scraped the whole website, looked at all you want to lose students, and basically what he did is he looked at every single student and her history of internships that he did.

  • Now Waterloo makes you do six internships.

  • So basically, he made an assumption that your last internship is better than your before last internship.

  • So, for example, if their first internship was Google and Gender next internship was apple.

  • He would deem Apple better than Google.

  • Now, that's just one person.

  • So he did that with everyone.

  • You know.

  • He did that with every single you Waterloo kid and basically gave a little score to every one of these companies.

  • So now I'm just gonna use this website, and I'm going to sort it by dizzy Little score before I go into the top town.

  • Let me just show you what this site is all about.

  • This I think the site is kind of down now, and I kind of just kept a copy for myself.

  • So So here's what it looks like.

  • As you can see, every row is a person.

  • So if you search Citadel, you know, you see that this guy went to clearbridge associate then to securities density, though, so that means said the deal would be better than all these companies and code connect would be better than citadel.

  • Oh, that's me.

  • That's actually me.

  • I guess that data wasn't very updated.

  • I clearly say that instead of that is better quarterback by far, anyway, So this is what it looks like.

  • And then when you actually get all of this, you get this fuel.

  • I don't know why we can't sort.

  • I mean, usually you can sort, but I think it's because the person they probably didn't do the party didn't scrape the job script.

  • So I have, like, a virgin.

  • So what we're gonna do is we're just gonna copy all that.

  • And like, as a true data scientist, I'm just gonna use excel.

  • You know, I was thinking, like, maybe parsing it or something, but screw that.

  • I'm just gonna use excel because it seems like it's well formatted, so all right, but the name copy Open up, Excel.

  • And we'll, uh, we'll get cool and then put a filter here, filled there and then sort descending.

  • So I'm not gonna tell you which company's first.

  • Yes, I'm gonna blurt out here.

  • I'm just gonna blur the top 10.

  • And as you can see, Okay, maybe i'll start from the bottom, you know?

  • So you guys know spoilers.

  • So you know, for example, e a is ranked number 24.

  • You got square number 22 then Bloomberg, 21.

  • You could see it sorted by their heels.

  • Score?

  • Yeah.

  • And then Okay, I'm gonna blow out the top.

  • Who?

  • The top 10 makes a lot of sense.

  • All right, let's start number 10.

  • We have Microsoft.

  • You still working for Microsoft?

  • So you're still working for Microsoft?

  • So yeah, uh, like yourself is still pretty good.

  • Then you know, as not bad, not gonna lie.

  • My present was a pretty good company is just at for me or for my some of my friends.

  • We just like to joke around up.

  • Microsoft is like a company is like a low tier company, but it's not.

  • Microsoft is a great company.

  • The only reason we do that is because we have to make fun of one company.

  • And Microsoft is so big such that if I make fun of them, they wouldn't care.

  • Because I'm so small.

  • Thing is great because I'm able to talk about Microsoft.

  • Okay, so Microsoft is known to have pretty easy interviews.

  • I have done their interview for some for engineering and for program manager, and I would like to say that they're softer engineering Interview was pretty easy at passing one shot.

  • So So this offer engineering interview is quite simple.

  • For me, at least they came to war.

  • Lou and I had two interviews back to back.

  • And then after those two interviews, they'll say you get the ownership or not.

  • So the first question I got was a little bit of a design question like databases or infrastructure.

  • Basically, what they're saying is that you know, if you send a certain message for certain server and they have to send it back and something that would have if, like those messages get lost, what would you do for fault, tolerance and stuff like that?

  • So little bit of a design question, and then a second question is super easy link list.

  • Question.

  • It's stuff like, Can you find out if the link list has a loop or something like that and that Is there another way you can do it?

  • I'm not gonna go over details, but basically it's two questions, all right.

  • Second thing I want to talk about is the salary for me.

  • I think the salary for me was like $7000 a month, and then you get sick housing, uh, actually housing is kind of a gamble.

  • Sometimes you might get better housing sometimes not because it just put interns everywhere For me.

  • I was able to go into like, a hotel.

  • I think it was like the Hyatt Hotel, and it's pretty good because he got maid service every single day.

  • So, yes, the benefits were pretty good.

  • All right, let me double check the Sally real quick.

  • Microsoft yet.

  • So Microsoft is $7.2000 per month, and then they give you $1.3000 for housing or you choose their corporate housing.

  • Obviously, choose the corporate housing because it's a way better.

  • But yes, 7.2000.

  • This That's not bad.

  • That's not bad.

  • Yeah, I'll show you at the end the list, like this salary list and later on.

  • But I don't want you to stay through this whole video.

  • Let's check it out.

  • All right, Cool onto the next one on the list.

  • Number nine it is.

  • Yep, at an interview of help for some engineering and their interview.

  • I would rate it a bit harder than Microsoft.

  • You know, I passed in one shot, too, but they had a lot of interviews.

  • Okay, I think on site had to on site interviews and then to phone interviews later to confirm that I wasn't, you know, just lucky and very standard interview questions.

  • And then they also look at your projects a little bit.

  • So I think what I showed them is I showed down a project that you could sink watching YouTube together.

  • They're pretty impressed by that.

  • And then a lot of like, normal questions normal, like, algorithm, questions that you get on Nico.

  • So then the phone screen is also just quoting, you know, you go on court pad, they asked a question, and then you called it.

  • So I think they're interview process a little bit harder and they don't accept like that many people I thought about a salary.

  • So Yelp is $7.6000 per month, plus $1.5000 for housing.

  • If you don't do corporal, that is pretty good.

  • I think Yelp is Europa's usually hired them like Google and Microsoft because a little bit smaller, so they have to stay competitive by giving you more money.

  • So yeah, so the salary is pretty damn good.

  • And and prestige.

  • Yeah, I think hope is pretty much mid tier like.

  • Okay, honestly, don't take my word for granted, But I'm just like comparing toe all the next ones that we're gonna see.

  • But Yelp Yelp is like, Not like super high teer.

  • But it's also not like super little tear.

  • It's kind of like with Microsoft, same level as yourself in terms of prestige in terms of how much you're gonna get next company is interests.

  • To be honest, I don't know why this isn't higher.

  • It might be just variants, to be honest, because there aren't that many people that got into Pinterest because the total number of students that got there are, like, at least scrape.

  • That was only seven.

  • I do think that, uh, the princess is pretty high up there because I heard from a lot of people Pinterest is like one of the smartest companies.

  • Like every time you go to interest, people say like, Well, I've worked with smart people, so yeah, I think we just should be a little bit higher up.

  • Might be just variants.

  • Like I said, let's check Pinterest.

  • So how hard is the interview?

  • I don't know.

  • I actually don't have because I've never interviewed with Princess, so I wouldn't know.

  • So I can tell you that, OK?

  • And then how good the salary is.

  • All right.

  • You ready?

  • The salary is $9000 a month and then $3000 for housing.

  • So that makes it like $12,000 a month in that crazy.

  • So yes.

  • Oh, definitely.

  • Because of salary, people do want to work at Pinterest, right?

  • Next company I have here infusion.

  • I should not for motor with this company, let me google it real quick.

  • Or maybe it is a really good company.

  • I don't know, but I I don't have I mean, if you guys know, please comment below if you know infusion and what their reputation is.

  • But I don't quite know because there's a lot of there's a lot of other good companies that didn't make the list.

  • I'll give you some spoilers.

  • Amazon did not make the top 10.

  • Lincoln did not make the top 10 square dynamic the top 10 but they're all super good, cos it's possible that a lot of smart people they got into these companies and then they just got bored so they want to work for start ups.

  • And then it will decrease your yellow.

  • That just how it works, but yeah.

  • Alright.

  • Company number six.

  • Who?

  • Speaking of Amazon, I wonder if you can guess which one.

  • This is so company number six it is a nine dot com.

  • So in case you guys don't know what a nine dot com is a subsidiary of Amazon 89 I think it's more like research focus, part of more data driven part.

  • So I think they do like a lot of this search functionality of Amazon and all the hard stuff, the hard problems.

  • So I had an interview of a nine, actually, twice, actually.

  • And I got rejected twice.

  • So the first time, Um, yeah, I'm not gonna lie.

  • I think it was pretty hard.

  • Um, I don't remember what the question was, but I think it was related dynamic programming, and I think it took me some time to write it.

  • And then they also have, like, a design question.

  • I think it's like something related to like either horizontally scaling or very please scaling.

  • I think there's like, a distributed question, but basically I didn't do so well.

  • And in the second time I've got the same interviewer and I think it did well because it was the same question.

  • But they still didn't take me.

  • So I think it's because I was being a dick.

  • I was like, Yeah, I was there before Yeah, whatever.

  • You know, I think I think they just don't like me.

  • So So how good is this salary?

  • Let me check.

  • Oh, but then again, I wouldn't know because I didn't get the job.

  • So But let's look at Amazon.

  • So Amazon give you $7.6000 a month and $2.5000 so that's pretty average.

  • So I guess his average salary I don't think it would be much different from Amazon.

  • So I think that's that's a good estimate of what a nine interns would get.

  • 7.6000.

  • Okay, and then there's the Prestige.

  • It's kind of similar to life.

  • It's like it's like above you open Microsoft definitely, definitely Lope interest.

  • So I think that's a priest each level, especially Waterloo, like it's pretty good.

  • But it's not like Whoa oh, number five Google Classic Google.

  • I mean, everyone loves working at Google a lot of, like, really smart people can get to Google early on, but they also like to come back to Google at the end because the company is so big, you could choose which team to go in.

  • Some people like the word for its very specific team at Google.

  • Some people, sometimes if you're not, like super great at programming or you're not like a prodigy.

  • But you could still get to go because they're so big such that they accept a lot of interns.

  • So prestige level, I would say pretty high.

  • You know, uh, but nowadays it's getting more, more easy to get into Google.

  • And so I think that's what their values decreasing in terms of like Waterloo internships.

  • So the interview varies a lot, so it really depends on your interviewer Is I personally never gone to Google?

  • Um, I did a few interviews.

  • I choked.

  • Not a lot of like dynamic programming questions or anything.

  • Some of them could be simple.

  • I heard some of them could be hard.

  • It really depends.

  • So a lot of parents bear now the salary.

  • It's pretty shit, to be honest, I think the reason they do that's because Everyone loves Google, so they pay you $6.6000 per month and then maybe $3 dollars for housing per month.

  • So that makes him maybe 9.6000.

  • But yes, there.

  • Base salary isn't that great?

  • Because it's only 6.6000.

  • So yeah, And then my friends who worked at Google, they said it was pretty chill.

  • To be honest, they don't work you that heart.

  • And even once you're full time, if you don't want to, you could go in teams that don't work really, really hard.

  • And that Google's really good work there because later on, you know, you have a super comfortable life Company number four, Facebook, Facebook, old Facebook.

  • So, yeah, I've never worked as a softer engineer at Facebook.

  • Can you even say that?

  • My friends who worked at Facebook said they loved it.

  • You know, they have a great campus, beautiful campus, lots of prestige, kind of.

  • Yeah, but it's getting bigger.

  • And once the company gets bigger, obviously they lose prestige and stuff like that.

  • But yeah, So this salary for Facebook interns for suffrage in erry is $8000.1000 dollars for housing.

  • So in total $9000 I'm surprised.

  • Actually, that's quite that's quite low for housing.

  • And then Facebook is really good, because when you come back as a returning intern, if you do really well, you get more stocks.

  • And, like bones and something that so on average, according to this chart, is like $107,000 salary.

  • You get about $37.5000 of stocks for a year, and then your bonus can vary from 75,000 $100,000.

  • In bonus that that was your first year.

  • You just boom $100,000 right in your bank account.

  • So, yeah, so that puts Facebook on number four.

  • And then number three is Twitter.

  • All right, so Twitter is number three.

  • Twitter is surprisingly, not that high in terms of salary.

  • We'll talk about that later.

  • How hard is the interview?

  • I remember interviewing for Twitter for suffering gender or data science, remember?

  • And a head full of strange.

  • And with that phone screen, I felt so I'm guessing Twitter's pretty hard, you know, because I felt the phone stream, but But then again, you know me better.

  • Suck So according to other people, I think Twitter's is also pretty average.

  • I don't see a lot of people getting into Twitter, so I think Twitter is pretty, like, pretty difficult in terms of like the interview, not super Super Harv also not, you know, not super cheesy, but yeah, so that's how hard the interview is.

  • So I can't really tell you anything about that defense ring that I had was a dynamic programming question that I screwed up.

  • How good salaries the salary is pretty shit.

  • Actually, it's $6.5000 per month and they give you $2000 for housing.

  • Or maybe corporate housing.

  • I'm not sure.

  • Yeah, and then prestige.

  • I think it's I think it's pretty up there.

  • Um, I mean, for some reason, they're losing popularity nowadays.

  • I mean, also, this list is kind of old, but Twitter is losing popularity, so maybe not that much.

  • All right, number two.

  • Okay, so I realize I've been doing this wrong.

  • This should be number one.

  • So I started number 10 but I realized my excel sheet, it starts out one, but then the first row of myself sheet that says company name So that means I include the Heather, but Okay, So for the number one company, I would choose, I would choose one company out of all of these and then Yes.

  • So it's basically Jamesfirst coming.

  • All right?

  • And it's a number two company is Palin Tear Technologies.

  • Oh, I, uh I think volunteers I should close company because I've tried so many times getting into palm here, and I still haven't gotten in yet.

  • So the first time I had an interview was when I was when I was freshman year.

  • Actually, I got really lucky because I talked to this guy and he just gave a talk about Palace here, and he was from Montreal and I was like, Oh, me too.

  • I'm for material.

  • And then, you know, he was nice enough to give me an interview.

  • And then I got the phone screen.

  • The full stream was actually pretty hard.

  • It was Well, at least I think it was pretty art.

  • It was like print a binary search treat in order or something like are like, left to right.

  • And that was that easy.

  • I rode that record in and then all right, I'll do it without records on, like Nani and then Yeah.

  • So basically, you had Thio.

  • You know, you just had to make it stack.

  • Kind of like a like a record in stack that basically just had to make a stack.

  • You had to loop it in, and then you pop the stack until there's no more things to pump.

  • You could search, find a research street in order.

  • Trevor.

  • So, uh, we'll follow Rick urgent and you'll find it.

  • And that's exactly what I did.

  • So it was a full on screen, right?

  • And then what I did was I secretly google the answer and went to the Wikipedia page and saw the pseudo code.

  • And then I just looked at it and said, alway, I think I understand.

  • And I just wrote the code perfectly for them.

  • Yeah, so that's that.

  • That's how I got past it.

  • But then after that, I went on site and then the guy I talked to me, he looked at my residence.

  • That other foot does this guy get in.

  • And then he asked me like a design question and yeah, I just screwed up because I didn't know anything.

  • Back then I was just a kid.

  • So I didn't know anything about fresh after.

  • Only knew about algorithms, so, yeah, I got killed.

  • Okay?

  • It's not that great.

  • So, yeah, the salary is $7.5000 per month that that's it.

  • And then you have to pay for your own housing and something that so it's not the best.

  • I think this company has a lot of prestige, especially back then.

  • Everyone was wearing these, like, Bill passed black sweaters by talent here, and everyone felt really cool working there.

  • I'm not gonna lie.

  • It was a little bit cultish, according to some friends, but in a good way.

  • So yeah, and I remember people telling me that the food was amazing to have, like salmon, you know, like a really nice world.

  • Sam.

  • They have, like, really good chefs to make food.

  • They have massages, you know, at the campus.

  • So yeah, so they usually have things like four deployed engineers and normal, softer engineers and stuff like that four deploys pretty cool, because it means you get to travel and you get to get to the top of clients and then, you know, fix her shit or whatever, but Yeah, it's a really cool company and makes you feel really badass because they're like gods with data.

  • That's basically what pounds here is.

  • For those who don't know, volunteer technology is basically, like a date.

  • A consulting company, like they don't say they're consulting, coming, they say their technology company.

  • But in the end, I think they're consulting company.

  • Whether you do it like they help the government, like, track down Osama bin Laden, they help.

  • They help, like some some government stuff to track down the season, stuff like that.

  • They really do a lot of sketchy stuff that we don't know about because they're just really good data.

  • They help hospitals and stuff like that for processing and analyzing their data.

  • What else?

  • Something more interesting.

  • They help a lot of hedge funds and banks do some financial stuff that we can't talk about because they're so secretive.

  • All right.

  • So number one according to my spreadsheet, it's company name.

  • Yeah, let me just look at the one that pays the most.

  • I would say that you're number one.

  • There's a lot worse.

  • Jane Street.

  • Oh, no, no.

  • Gentry is not here.

  • Wait.

  • Yeah.

  • Okay.

  • So, Jane she should be here, but I guess it's not anymore.

  • But you could kind of know where I'm going with this, okay?

  • And I'll just choose this one.

  • Well, I don't really want to choose because my brother worked there, and I don't want him to feel proud of it.

  • Okay, Fuck it.

  • I'll just choose it.

  • All right.

  • So the number one company is to sigma, Um, for you guys who don't know to Sigma is a hedge fund.

  • It Zaveri quantitative based hedge fund meaning that use a lot of tech and use a lot of numbers to kind of, like decide on what stocks to trade or what commodities to trade and stuff like that.

  • So they're known to be pretty techie.

  • They don't like the finance kind of vibe are like plants, culture.

  • People are not like jocks there.

  • People are, like, pretty cool, like basic.

  • It looks like it looks like a typical tech company.

  • When I went there and visited.

  • So the reason why I chose is because that's pretty high salary.

  • It's $10.4000 a month, and then they give you $5000 for relocation and then they give you $5000 per month for housing.

  • What the fuck?

  • Holy shit.

  • That's crazy.

  • That's more than how much I make us a full time.

  • Ah, fuck, yeah.

  • And the bonus is I heard they're crazy.

  • Like, once you work there, full time bonuses are amazing.

  • And, yeah, you wouldn't believe it.

  • So basically, all of these finance companies should be here in case you guys don't know it's not fit intact.

  • Because fintech means technology company.

  • That is about financial products.

  • Like they help you manage a performer.

  • Herbal blood.

  • That's not it.

  • They use tech so that they can, uh, so that they can grab a shit ton of data and then just make a lot of money in the stock market or whatever that they trade.

  • So it's totally different than fintech technologies that you can't compare it to.

  • Like like Robin Hood.

  • You know, it's not the same thing, but yeah.

  • So, to sigma, sitting down with James ST, um might come Cisco Hannah, as like, you know, this on Susquehanna?

  • Uh, sauce technology.

  • Actually, we can talk about Renaissance takes charge because that's just at another level, so that just like we don't understand what you do.

  • But yes, all these are really, really good hedge funds.

  • And he probably pay the most compared to, like, other tech companies.

  • So yeah.

  • All right, so now let me talk about, um so yes, to sigma Prestige.

  • Hello.

  • Hi.

  • It's funny because it wasn't that high before.

  • When my brother started, I remember me telling my friends I told my brother was sent to Senator like, what the fuck is that?

  • Michael was a finance companies like, Oh, fine.

  • At a bank or something like, No, it's not bankers, a quality researcher, but anyways, to signal was not really popular.

  • But nowadays, because of the emergence of all of these finance companies and then they realized I hold you should they pay a lot?

  • It got the attention of the Silver Engineers.

  • So So yeah, so now prestige, definitely high prestige.

  • People love to sigma.

  • They think it's they think it's like the best thing since sliced bread.

  • So, yeah, pretty alright and interviews probably super hard if it's the same or if it's similar to the full time interview.

  • A lot of probably questions, a lot of qualitative questions, a lot of statistics, questions a lot of brain teasers, lots of heart CS questions.

  • I mean, I don't know.

  • I never got an interview from them, so I wouldn't know, but yeah, that's what I heard.

  • Um, there are a lot of companies that did not make the top 10 list.

  • Don't know why.

  • Probably because we just don't have that much data.

  • Like I said, this dissent is not super super good because it's still kind of hacky.

  • But let me tell you, a few companies I think deserves, you know, to share the number one spot.

  • One of them is Snapchat, of course.

  • Come on, such as great.

  • It's not just such a great company.

  • It's also in L.

  • A.

  • So that's pretty dope they have a New York office to.

  • They paid $10,000 a month, so I think that was really good.

  • Cora Cora is extremely hard to get in really smart people.

  • They pay $8.3000 a month and then let's see Twitch Twitch is super fun.

  • You know you could tow, get to watch people play games all day, and then they pay you $7.4000 a month.

  • Then Airbnb Airbnb is really good, too.

  • They pay $7000 a month plus corporate housing and to give you some Airbnb credit.

  • Supercool andr, Dog friendly.

  • One of my friends, you know, one of my friends intern there and he got to bring his dog every day.

  • A C or strike is really good stripes.

  • Really good.

  • $7000 a month plus corporate housing.

  • Definitely good company.

  • It's about payments.

  • And see drop, boss.

  • Of course.

  • Dropbox.

  • Really good.

  • I'm surprised.

  • There their salary solo $6.3000 per month plus $5000 house.

  • Well, I guess if I've $1000 housing is pretty good or corporate housing, But I don't think any copper house it would be $5000.

  • Maybe that's total.

  • I'm not sure.

  • So Yeah.

  • Yeah, that's pretty much it.

  • I think these companies air definitely really, really good.

  • So if ever you have the opportunities to work there, definitely do it.

  • And yeah, if ever you guys air inundated by offers from all of these companies and find it really, really hard to choose.

  • Well, I'm going to link you guys the salary for all of these internships.

  • And also the site that gives you like the kilo.

  • And then you could kind of compare and see which one's better than which.

  • Well, it's so yeah, I hope that was interesting for you guys.

  • I hope that was useful.

  • And happy job hunting.

  • Just remember, if you enjoy this video, don't forget to like and subscribe.

  • And then also follow me on Instagram at Europa or any other social media site.

  • You know, whatever.

  • And it was a piece out and see you tomorrow.

  • No, you probably can't seem to make a baby.

way.
