I am a new grad phd with backgounrd in NLP and ML. I just got an offer from google and was matched to this product area. Since this is the core area of Google, it should be prety mature. I am wondering are there still exicting projects going on? I am looking for some teams that are related to ML and NLP. TC: 295k/y plus 30.5k relocation. Any thoughts and suggestions?
Nice TC there. Mind sharing the split?
Base 149 with 15% bonus, rsu 458k, signon 40k
Great RSU number. Mine was only 330k.
Very competitive. There are more people than ideas so it's very territorial and political with ten people jumping on every new idea. (Land grabbing/cookie licking/backstabbing/theft/etc.) It's not all bad... Relatively easy to get promoted there if you're good, and some extremely good senior people on certain teams.
I see. Thanks for the info. I doubt most ideas should have been explored in this org.
Not all ideas have been explored but there are a lot of smart ambitious people there. You'll undoubtedly have plenty of great ideas... And when you do, half a dozen people will start design docs with your ideas and setup meetings that visibly show they're leading your effort. Etc. I worked there for years and know a decent amount about it. Feel free to DM me if you want more info. If you've already made up your mind, best of luck to you.
They just started applying BERT to search results, so there's still a lot of very interesting projects coming up most probably.
Thanks for the reply. I also saw this news some time before. Do you happen to know which specific team is working on this direction? Message me if you know. Thanks!
