no shade but i feel like if you trained an LLM only on conversations that happened in this discord server and asked it to make a full_time_offer_debating post this would be it
#Databricks vs IMC vs Google (TM)
dry crater
if u want to be a QR take IMC
google doesn't nego
take IMC and try lateraling
into citadel or something
they hire swes for QR roles in some orgs
feasible
atomic crag
Sounds like u want IMC
If u want to try to be a QR than might as well work in quant
If u choose DB or Google u probably close that door 4ever
Probably not tbh
To do research at AI Labs u need exp from school (publications) or relevant research exp at other firms
Yeah that door might be closed unless u do a PhD or somehow break into a research role at Google or DB (highly unlikely)
Why did u decide that u want to do research
Yeah thats fair but research is a whole different career on its own
People don’t really swap back and forth like that
Did u try doing research in college
shell canyon
When did u give ur google r2
atomic crag
Yeah
I think highest ev for u is to do imc
Unless ur super interested in what tech has to offer no point in turning down extra money yk
Sounds like u hate infra anyway might as well get placed into a research adjacent role at imc

DB vs IMC
atomic crag
Nah its not
Def will take a year
Atp might as well just take higher pay and roll the dice again on imc tm
Worst outcome is similar team but higher pay
Best outcome team you fw more and higher pay
I mean if ur trying to break into top ai labs or top startups as a swe than db >> imc for sure
Since work is more relevant
Way easier to move from one quant to another quant than from tech to quant
Yeah he is
Headhunters also target swes at quant more than tech
Internship is different than ft
Since there’s no training program for mid level or senior hire it depends way more on work ur doing atm
Nah
It’s not
Are u targeting tech or quant
Like would u rather be at top quant to top tech
i mean thats gonna be impossible to break into
js and hrt barely hire mid level or senior
so ur saying its easier to break into quant into a senior role from companies like zon, meta, db
feel like ive seen the opposite (outside of ng)
even postings on website or on linkedin priotize people with hft exp
yeah usually opposite
hard gate
If u choose DB or Google u probably close that door 4ever
could u not lateral after google ft 1 yr?
atomic crag
could be the case though with garden leave and some companies trying to avoid that
yeah i agree think its mostly because of how many more people in tech than in quant
daring sluice
is quant 996 also?
atomic crag
yeah not worth it for worse pay like what 😂
daring sluice
and are transfers from goog to quant more common?
atomic crag
is quant 996 also?
market closes at 4pm bud
daring sluice
db is deffo 996 i heard from my friend working there rn
daring sluice
@atomic crag one thing i wanted to ask can i dm, seperate concern
atomic crag
yeah
earnest sinew
surely...
dry crater
when ppl say 996 they really mean 9-7:30 and a weekend afternoon fyi
atomic crag
Is OAI actually 996? Fuk I wanted to coast there
coasting at oai 😂
fierce fulcrum
oai is mickey and negative aura imo
queen condor
what was the timeline for IMC?
I just did my OA today
is the OA automatic?
ohokay how long after the OA did you get a reachout
didnt the swe new grad posting just drop last week tho
ahh
how were your interviews, leetcode/sys design?
inner quail
can't speak for quant but the "bad" teams in tech are acc so bad
like the work and the wlb are horrible
inner quail
when ppl say 996 they really mean 9-7:30 and a weekend afternoon fyi
kinda depends, tiktok is like real 996, even worse depending on team
heavy needle
can I dm ? @queen condor I’m in imc proc too
