UofT Bridge – Events 354 followers

Hey everyone! Warm wishes for the new year and welcome back to school! After a successful first event in the fall, UofT Bridge has more exciting events to offer you during the second semester. The first of which is an exclusive opportunity for a handful of students to visit the offices of the Canadian based e-commerce firm Shopify.

Their Toronto team has generously agreed to open their doors to a few students interested in their business and industry to discover the life of a Shopify employee. The tour will be led by an Android POS developer, and will give a chance for students to ask questions and network during the visit.

You may register with us through our Facebook inbox. Considering the opportunity and the few spots available, we ask you to leave a few words on why this visit/firm interests you. To make sure the tour is interactive between students and the employee, we will attribute spots to people who seem the most interested! The visit will take place at the Shopify offices, on January 11th at 1pm~2pm.

Shawn Wu (PEY Alumnus Response):

“I had friends who worked 12 months in the same company, loved it, and got hired back for full-time. One friend was at Kraft Heinz after the Buffett merger, all managers were out, so he effectively worked in a manager role as a PEY intern. Now he’s chilling with his full time offer for the final year.

I chose to rotate among 3 different positions during the 12 month PEY term. I spent the first 8 months at RBC’s Tech team rotating between 2 Co-op positions, which led to my last 4 months at MaRS Venture Services serving startups.

Never was a day boring in my 12 months of working. Within each role there were multiple projects, and just when my learning curve plateaus in one role a new challenge would arise from another role. Having spent 1 year in industry was also a critical factor that helped me landed a full-time offer at Bain & Company. So in short, it was a fun and very rewarding time!"
