This is what vetting for a top tier AI role looks like. $400K compensation

Sure. But these roles aren't easy cushy jobs that you think they are. You actually do need to be very high iq for day to day tasks in these roles. Just think about it. Why would a company be ready to pay someone this much if their job was easy and replaceable ?

Supply and demand. My job require high IQ but is paid like shit because “do engineering” was forced down every young persons throat for thirty years and it’s a race to the bottom. The same will eventually happen in AI. Likely just in time to royally fuck anyone who’s thinking about studying for it now.

I genuinely don't understand what's brutal here
Build 2 separate production grade autonomous agents that would each be a $10M+ startup if you open sourced them with zero hallucinations, perfect UX, bulletproof parsing, actual runnable Selenium that never picks the wrong selector, full auth + DB persistence, polished Streamlit/React frontends, and a demo video slick enough to raise a seed round all while most senior engineers is reading and inspecting every line of your code. Yeah definitely a chill weekend job for you. :forcedsmile:

If you have connections why do you have to jump through all these hoops?

If you are an expert at tech or IT related fields it’s an easy win if you do side hustles involving it. Upwork is one example

I'm posting this purely to show y'all what the bar looks like right now for the absolute top tier Applied Al Engineering roles in the Bay Area.

This isn't build a RAG chatbot in 2 hours." This isn't LeetCode.

You pass a brutal online assessment which I did and you get one of these take home fullstack autonomous agent projects build the entire thing perfectly in just 20 days and get flown to SF to get grilled by the CTO. Cropped the logo of the company

And yes the compensation is $400k including stocks and bonuses. $275K base. Scales up steeply to reach 1 million in 2-3 years.

yes but its dumb that 1 percent gets payed more than someone capable to this assignment

Because there are millions willing to watch game and pay for that and only a bunch of players. EZ math bro

It scales quite a lot tho. Jt can go up to $10 million-$25 million+ per year at OpenAI, DeepMind, FAIR, Anthropic. The starting salaries itself is the top 0.01%.

If there were for example 30 ppl willing to pay you for those assignments you'd be richer than most basketball players

This is why passport maxing is a thing

Western women demand constant luxury they are impossible to please and have a bodycount higher than Stalin :lul:

Get a job like what OP said work there 10 years save up and then move to a 3rd world shithole and live like a God and retire or open up some gay corner short or buy up houses and rent and you’ll be clear. Just don’t marry a western or Korean woman I hear they jsut as bad there that’s why Korean men are the most blackpilled
Korean women are worse. Keep in mind they’re the 4b movement makers

Well that one percent generates a ton of revenue for the team owners.

Or the sports brands that sign them.

It's a fair deal for those involved.

I could actually do that but I would need LLMs to help me, is it allowed to use them?

Nigga did you even read the actual assignment? They literally tell you to use LLMs (Gemini, Claude whatever) and even give you free credits. The whole point is testing whether you can orchestrate frontier models into a zero hallucination, production grade agent.

Even with LLM asking it to write 100% correct Selenium that picks the exact right CSS/XPath on unseen HTML is almost impossible even many QA engineers can't do it by hand. The document one is worse you have to chain dozens of LLM calls that preserve exact heading styles, nested tables with merged cells, footnotes. This is by all means an exceptionally challenging assignment.

Yes preventing hallucinations of AI is impossible but that is not what these assignments are asking. They want system that behaves as if it doesn't hallucinate. I'm not an AI expert but that is achievable with proper orchestration like Grounding, Verification loops and multi step reasoning. They know he model will hallucinate the assignment tests whether you can design a pipeline where hallucinations have no chance to reach the final output.

Bro fuck a hallucination, I've seen my Gemini AI made a typo TWICE. Typo is crazy man.

Very few will have a chance to pass such a role. Nearly half a million comp isn’t bad money
 
This looks way more demanding than the recruitment process for IB or big 3 consulting tbh. Much more work involving way more thinking.
