What's the work area

Power perf modeling

NVIDIA WPCd02 Oct 27, 2021

Congrats! how are the interviews at FRL?

NVIDIA hehehh Oct 26, 2021

Wo, U got ic3 HW with 2.5 yoe. Really solid. Is the sign on for 1st year or 1st & 2nd year?

Qualcomm bro11 OP Oct 26, 2021

For 1st year.

NVIDIA hehehh Oct 26, 2021

Pretty pretty pretty good

NVIDIA xGracex Oct 26, 2021

I had similar offer earlier this year with same yoe. NVDA all the way

FRL. FB all in on metaverse and hardware.

NVIDIA EQS2025 Oct 27, 2021

Nvidia is ahead on the metaverse.

Facebook ..šŸ¦šŸ¦. Oct 27, 2021

How?

Intel yokozona Oct 27, 2021

I'm in a similar boat, can someone talk about growth perspective? Also, why is nvidia is so far ahead in the poll. I would have thought FRL would take the lead here.

NVIDIA rv bnp Nov 1, 2021

I personally thought so too šŸ¤£

Microsoft NDaC45 Oct 28, 2021

FRL refreshers may be better so overall compensation looks better at FRL. I would get into FB. Nvidia is a long runner in HW for sure, you can go to Nvidia if FRL fuck's up.

NVIDIA xGracex Oct 28, 2021

Itā€™s a big risk with FBā€™s future. Iā€™m not 100% confident on their metaverse execution and they need to create a demand for their product. A lot of companies are increasing their capex in data center specifically focused on AI/ML and Nvidia is the leading player to get the pie. Nvidia also has Omniverse, their own version of virtual world. Nvidia as a company is in extremely strong position.

I would say facebookā€™s warchest is big enough to flip the game overnight which is how theyā€™ve survived as a company. Wouldnā€™t be surprised if they do it again

Watch YouTube videos of Jensen and Mark. Decide who you want to work for.

NVIDIA uCjt82 May 23, 2022

Jensen any day!

I'm curious what you do as a power performance modeler? Is it just profiling and benchmarking codes? Is there opportunity for highly mathematical work?
