Pros: I like working there.

Cons: Not too much salary, ah ha.

Pros: Strong Technical Skills – You have solid experience in full-stack development (MERN) and have worked on multiple projects, including Speak Ease, Farmer’s World, Coin Galaxy, and Expense Tracker. Cloud & AWS Knowledge – You’ve gained hands-on experience with AWS services through your AWS Cloud Developer internship, which is a valuable skill for scalability and deployment. Problem-Solving Ability – You actively solve competitive programming problems, covering dynamic programming, graph algorithms, array manipulation, and sorting problems, which enhances your logical thinking.

Cons: Advanced ML/AI Projects – You’re learning machine learning, but you haven’t implemented full-fledged ML-based projects yet. Applying ML to real-world scenarios would be a great next step. ⚠️ Competitive Programming Depth – You’re solving a variety of problems, but mastering advanced topics (segment trees, bit manipulation, graph algorithms) will help you stand out in coding competitions and interviews. ⚠️ More System Design Knowledge – You’ve built multiple projects, but gaining expertise in high-level system design (microservices, databases, caching strategies) will prepare you for large-scale applications.

Pros: Shopify is at the top of the Canadian technology scene. Smart, performance-oriented, crazy sustained growth means you will see things you can’t see anywhere else. This is how the big companies you know about happened, and it’s happening to a Canadian company. You can help. Wins matter in this business, and Shopify is winning.

Cons: Pace and growth rate mean that even though the company has the best of intentions, challenges often happen because no one has solved issues yet. Sometimes it’s fun being in the rocket, but sometimes the g-forces can get you.
