for axiom what does the 37.5k options equate to in terms of percentage of company? is it 37.5k per year over 4 years?

cobalt ether
#

do they negotiate base and options? or is the 230k base 70k options the minimum ur willing to take over the others

whole locust

No, I ll do that tomorrow

past fable
#

But options and paper money

#

Smh

#

@whole locust how important is being / staying in US for u

#

imo axiom/together are scary from a stability perspective as an intl but if its a risk ur fine with theyre good

#

google is more stable in that regard but also def the worst option (not sure what scientech is tho)

#

and if u dont care too much for the US or its just w/e to you, moonshot in a heartbeat

#

dont bite the kimi k2 hype too hard though in your consideration on moonshot

whole locust

chilly star
#

agree they are promising but not there yet

whole locust
#

Oh one thing I forgot to mention. I have a non-disclose situation that if I go back to China, it will be highly possible that cannot back to US again.

#

for work

#

no preference. rn want to stay in us for couple of time first

#

in the future dont know

ask moonshot if you can found their USA office

Moonshot ai

chilly star
#

bad advice bro

#

if he cant go back to us this is just wrong, even if he prefers china there are so many other career factors out of preference that you should not shut this door lol

#

if his end goal is china he's not even gonna post this 💀

#

and even if end goal is china growth within us > growth within china

#

yeah that applies if u only care ab tc

#

depends on the person 🤷‍♀️

whole locust
#

yeah

#

try to work on these two now

#

Axiom is not raising

#

ppl suggest me not back to china

#

now is together and tradings left

#

tryna get together first and then see hows other process going on

#

is that fair?

past fable
whole locust
#

#

definitely do not go to etched

whole locust
past fable
#

whole locust
#

past fable
#

gray totem
#

etched has zero taped out chips bro

past fable
#

HUHHH

gray totem
#

its all vaporware

#

they seem very aggressive with hiring

#

bad vibes for me

past fable
#

aint they raising another round soon?

whole locust
#

😭

chilly star
#

Axiom is vaporware too

whole locust
#

its so hard

gray totem
#

i know two ppl who worked there and they both left before a year

#

bad vibes from etched

chilly star
#

Together is the only non China non Google company on this list with an actual product

past fable
#

bro

#

jianyq

#

i think

chilly star
#

Cubist is the move

past fable
#

just Axiom

gray totem
#

maybe together or google then of the available

past fable
#

the network is more than 100k

chilly star
#

Cubist wlb isn't bad

#

Either

#

I mean it depends on ur pod

#

But crt is relaxed

#

R u kepl

#

Or what

whole locust
#

cubist is acedamy

past fable
#

isnt cubist sub 400tc for most teams?

whole locust
#

rotation on 3-4 teams

chilly star
past fable
#

id say axiom bro u got the dawg in you

chilly star
#

bro axiom is a 12 person startup with no product

#

ur just riding their team being all prev FAIR

#

but they hjavent done anything yet

#

this guy is an intl, if it goes up in flames tmrw he just has to recruit again

whole locust
#

yeah

#

make sense

chilly star
#

i feel the same on decagon

gray totem
#

google or together is safe

chilly star
#

and idk enough about etched but im sure its similar

gray totem
#

etched sounds so bad bro dont go

chilly star
#

so tis rly just google, together, cubist
that are viable

#

in my eyes

#

isnt catalyst like special needs ml

#

like u suck at ml but u wanna work in it

#

so u go into special needs class (rotational program)

past fable
chilly star
#

😭

past fable
#

but true about the intl part

chilly star
#

tbf i think axiom would be very solid if hes US citizen

past fable
#

maybe etched or togther then, theres talents too

chilly star
#

small good team = lots of learning

gray totem
#

do not go to etched

past fable
#

bro

#

youre a google guy bro

chilly star
#

dont they start you at l3 after ur 1 year

#

so u just work a year with 0 progress towards promo?

#

or do they start uat l4

past fable
#

bro i mena

chilly star
#

true

past fable
#

my guy jianyq said already he doesnt feel the talent of the interviewers he got are great

whole locust
#

One thing about google

#

they are layoff people

chilly star
#

also together is an ml role right?

#

200k base they dont give to swe

whole locust
#

which means perm is not available

past fable
#

so, optimizing for talent density is more

whole locust
chilly star
#

LOL

#

how didu get 200 base at swe?

#

thats nuts

whole locust
#

I compete hars

chilly star
#

ah i see

whole locust
#

hard

chilly star
#

my friend had 190 base competing and they would only go to 160

#

guess he got scammed LOL

#

true

past fable
#

orz...

whole locust
#

past fable
#

axiom is fucking u bro

whole locust
#

I have no good offer

chilly star
# whole locust no swe

cobalt ether
#

what is the spreadsheet calculating? how much ur 0.05% is worth?

whole locust
#

basically this is a random variable

#

you use p times return and sum up

#

then is your expected val ue

chilly star
#

ngl the people i know who signed together swe dislike it. i agree tho its safer

#

its a research lab so ur just researchers bitch

tulip light
#

or given

whole locust
#

given

tulip light
#

pretty optimistic imo

whole locust
#

😭

chilly star
#

unless im missing smth ?

whole locust
#

for together it is swe

#

axiom is research

#

but I heard that google do not provide perm process

#

also heard together provide day 1 perm

tulip light
#

is axiom just research or r they building product

chilly star
#

theyre building smth

tulip light
#

any idea what?

whole locust
chilly star
#

some foundation model for formal math reasoning with lean

whole locust
#

So tough😭

#

ppl in together tell me they ll 3x at the end of the year

#

and also the sponsorship is good

#

ok then just choose between google and together

#

but happen if I have cubist

#

is cubist rotation program better?

#

Yes

cobalt ether
#

super biased take from the dude w the google guy as the username

"random startups"
$64mil seed with meta fair team

whole locust
#

I dont know hows the intern interview process but for fulltime tbf it is really hard

#

why is slackroad derogatory 😭

chilly star
#

hes p smart

#

ik u guys were trolling him about pin

#

and whatever he said ab it

#

but he's actually v good at math, the interviews were hard

lean folio
#

is it really safe

#

Feel like it’s an insanely competitive space and they might get squeezed out long term?

#

i guess relatively its safe looking at some of the other options here

static citrus
#

slop threads like these should be banished

#

@whole locust 99% of cscd larp 10x more than they know, you're better off asking to specific people you trust

proper dagger
west prism
#

@whole locust is together ml research or swe?

lean folio
#

it’s mle

whole locust
#

no its swe

#

swe in mle team

#

mainly focus on model serving

Moonshot is great, but considering long-term career advancement, I'm worried about the salary ceiling in China, which is around 600k-700k USD. I think a genius like jianyq deserves a much higher ceiling.

Google Catalyst is stable, but I feel there are fewer opportunities to create limitless possibilities.

Other companies offer greater upside potential.
