Databricks interview process: waste of time and energy (Blind)
- owSc04 (Databricks): Fwiw a lot of us also think the reference check (particularly backdoor) is bulllshit

OpenAI vs Google (Blind)
- diuneilom (OpenAI): The OAI people that you are talking to are lying. No team is working from 9-5, it’s not even 996, it’s 007.
- mr_ser (Microsoft): Classic bums on blind telling people not to accept an amazing opportunity at one of the most significant technological companies in history.
Dude, take the OAI offer. Google isn’t going anywhere, you can always go back (and likely at higher pay/level). OAI on your resume puts you in rarified air, not to mention the experience you’ll earn and the people you’ll meet will surely outweigh whatever Google is giving you. - tiy (ex-OpenAI): Stay in Google, unless there us a huge difference in the work. Ask for a good retention offer.
Your OAI management might change and 9-5 will evaporate in a moment.
