I’m L6 for about 2 years and looking at the research LLM market things are crazy hot. Should I be targeting E6 or E7 interview loops at Meta (recruiter said both are possible). What are likely comp ranges for RS at these levels? TC 900k YOE 12
What is your profile? Why do you want to leave Google? Why do you think that meta is better on LLM?
Meta is leading the charge on open sourcing useful mid sized models and has a good array of multimodal capabilities. Google is great but the field is so hot right now it makes sense to see what’s out there. Empires and legacies are being carved out right now. I have a couple best papers under my belt and a few stint at top labs.
Nice 👌 why you just want to build your own company on LLM?
Go L7 if you truly do have top paper delivery and are an expert who can quickly hit breakthroughs. Expectations are very high at L7 but comp can match or beat your best TC. I'd actually recommend doing research in GenAI org over FAIR bc it gets way more resourcing these days. Also consider smaller labs if you're bullish on anyone (openai, anthropic, etc)
Yeah I’m also talking to them too. They are way more cultish though and growth opportunities are bad (founders and early employees have their fiefdoms). Also comp is >50% funny money. I’ll look into genai. It’s not always transparent from the outside.
What’s your TC breakdown? Mostly stocks that stacked overtime?
900k??? Congrats 🎉 the only word I have..😂
AI is paying right now
