Interns making 100K? | University of Waterloo Co-op Program Explained

Hey everyone!
This is part 2 of "What to expect as a student at the University of Waterloo"
In this video I talk about:
🖤 What co-op is?
💛 How the co-op program works at UW?
🖤 How the ranking system works
💛 What kind of jobs are available (Is a internship at Silicon Valley guaranteed? FAANG jobs? US internships?)
🖤 How much money you can make as a co-op/intern (6 figure salary?)
💛 Pros and Cons of the co-op program at UWaterloo
As always thanks for watching my video and let me know if you have any questions :)

    Hi Mika. Thank you a lot for the great content. I have a question about the Master at UWaterloo if you don't mind. Do you think studying part time for 3 years (1 course per term, 9 courses in total) would be a better choice than studying full time to get an official co-op with a chance to work in the US by Canadian's TN1 visa? A part time program means quitting the current 9-5 job. But a full time program definitely means quitting or negotiating with the current job for flexible working hours over day and evening while having a risk of being declined.

    Thanks for the video. What was your math major? And if it was not CS BMath, was there any problem to get into software engineering from non CS math major? And did you need to work extra to learn those programming or just non CS math was enough for you to be selected for your role as software engineer?

    Hi, Fantastic Vid. Just a quick Question : Can a Waterloo Student who is in Coop apply outside of the 50 Application available at WaterlooWorks. ( Cold Email, Referral …. etc.)

  • @MikaKim

    @MikaKim

    3 жыл бұрын

    Hey Amaan, yup any jobs you apply to outside of WaterlooWorks is separate from the 50 application count. One thing you need to be careful when applying externally though, is that if you get matched with a job via WaterlooWorks, you have to take that job other wise you are subject to a penalty (i.e. Banned from waterlooworks for 1 term or permanently) So you may be in a sticky situation if you have a job lined up externally AND you have a job matched through waterlooworks so just be mindful of that!

    @@MikaKim Well thats a relief, if taking coop meant that i wouldnt have the ability to actually get a job but still pay for that priviledge, especially as an international student, its really kind of scary . That being said, would you say its harder to get into coops that dont necessarily go with my major or do i get a fighting chance if i choose my programs wisely ?

    Unfortunately the reality is if your major doesn't match the job you are going for, especially with no relevant background it will be much more tough to land a corresponding co-op role. But as mentioned that doesn't mean the system constrains you from applying to these roles.
