Very respected in the AI community. Full of smart people!

Microsoft rufbfhf Nov 23, 2022

Doesn't get any better than that for ML work. Except maybe google brain and meta RL

Meta JBydkx Nov 23, 2022

It's called Meta AI (FAIR), not RL. And DeepMind is better

Anyone knows the kind of people who gets hired at OpenAI ? I've heard you need PhD and such ?

Microsoft rufbfhf Nov 23, 2022

You heard right. Most folks have PhD, few masters exceptions. Even fewer bachelor's.

Very well known and well respected in AI community but extremely hard to get in. I know someone with 1M tc with 10 yoe. Pays really well.

Meta yippedo OP Nov 23, 2022

Paper money - though heard that the base is comparatively high.

Adobe emandar Nov 23, 2022

Base is very high as well

Meta yippedo OP Nov 23, 2022

Does anyone think it will ever go IPO?

It’s non profit

Amazon alpha93_ Nov 23, 2022

Does that mean h1b is cap exempt ?

Meta yippedo OP Nov 23, 2022

Nope they changed - that a for profit arm as well

Amazon alpha93_ Dec 3, 2022

Really ? Without even knowing yoe ? 😅 Doesn't it take like 10 yoe to be even considered ?

Could you refer me ?

I was wondering if I should apply, some of the jobs advertised are right up my alley. On Levels I see $295K base and $560K stock. But then I read they’re not planning to go public, so how do I need to see the ‘Stock’ part? Is there a secondary market for the stock? My current TC is $500K, but it’s pretty much all liquid. $300K and funny money isn’t going to cut it.

They have regular liquidation events

Robinhood coffeebla Oct 27, 2023

They’ve had one share sale earlier this year and rumor is they are closing another one
