I have an interview tomorrow that is with a "guy" who was always on call but didnt give a f*ck and used his phone throughout. Now that i'm through to the third round, I need to be on call with him where idk what happens, I've never made it this far. the guy is like a couple years older than me.

the arrogance is too evident, I dont like that. very mean, and the folks who interviewed me are, no disrespect DUMB. yesterday he goes, :

"lets do a DSA question now, if i give you a text file with numbers and characters, what data structure would you store it in"

i said a list, or if the order and the index matters then a hashmap. he says, believe me here :

"YOU NEED TO USE ARRAYS, NOT LISTS" mf, wdym in a DSA interview that has nothing to do with python you say lists and arrays are'nt the same!?

then we ended up agreeing that it should be a charecter array, and the guy goes "you cant store a number in a charecter array"
god bless this founder's soul.

It's for an intern where I'll work with a fitness org for a CV intern. I need only serious help please.

I've used yolo and opencv before, I've never had an interview tho, what questions in depth about it can I expect. I have a call tomorrow, any quick responses are genuinely appreciated! Extra points if you're open to let me ask questions in DM

They want me to be good with GPU programming (CUDA), GPU perf optimizations. Besides what else should I be ready to deal with? It's a small scale startup.

if you have questions about how i got it, just save it man.

the role is for research, they focus on SLM's and i have a call for about 45 minutes from what i can see. I need to prepare for this before 16th, leaving me about 4 days. what sort of questions should i focus on?

they want deep understanding of transformer architectures, "efficiency" and "context-length expansion"

I have not given an interview in the research position yet. Looking to hear genuine advice and resources to learn from.

I have an HR interview tomorrow, kinda my very first interview. Im scared, i got told today that ill be having it, leaving me less than 20 hours. they wont budge on changing the time either, they're focussing on Go which i dont know.

I need tips for the interview, idk waht to even expect of this.

alright, straight up i want you to keep in mind that this is fully my opinion and this comes after a lil bit of digging. If this makes me sound like a sore loser and a clown, so be it but its unfair.

as a college graduate its important to know what the OSS world is like, hence getting into GSOC to see how these SOTA software features are shipped with some of the best engineers. As of late, I have noticed a trend with some popular organisations that are funded by a larger open source initiative which are a composition of multiple large MNC's.

I noticed this while reading about the maintainers, im assuming the MNC's are mandating these engineers to contribute since they're pouring the money into OSS. Next prong, GSOC rules where anybody over the age of 18, eligible to work in their respective country can be selected, do you see the loophole?

these orgs which take part end up choosing the parent MNC engineers (atleast in the case of my org), mind you these are fkin engineers with multiple years of experience they'll get in no matter what. So what's the point of applying, if you wish to learn and dont care much about milking GSOC?

i spent over 6months in two orgs, focused on the wrong one until the mentor said they're not gonna appear for GSOC. then familiarised with the new codebase, engaged with the fellow contributors, mentors and attended community calls to see what the next priority was.

After all that, i gathered enough progress and made a proposal. Now i get to see some random dude get the project, while top contributors and the ones who interacted with the initial proposal are left with [ ] and an "unfortunately" email. This is just disappointing to see how GSoC has become an AI fest, i mean the guy isnt even on the contributors list!

i understand i should not have high hopes since i was relatively new to the org, but i cant fathom how much worse it was for the ones who gave it their best only to get nothing back.
FML, im just so broken and sad. ideh have friends to share this with.
