Resolves YES if I receive an offer for a full-time job doing software engineering, ML engineering, and/or research engineering by September 1, 2024. Resolves NO if I do not receive an offer for a full-time job doing software engineering, ML engineering, and/or research engineering by September 1, 2024. I will not bet on this question.

For background, I am in the Online MSCS program at Georgia Tech and I did my Bachelor's in Computer Science at UC Riverside. 4 years ago, I applied to some software engineering internships but I didn't do the online assessments because I was worried that I hadn't prepared enough. Over the next 4 years, I did no interview preparation and completed my Bachelor's. In December 2023, I applied to the MATS fellowship and the METR research assistant position, but I didn't pass the CodeSignal assessments and was rejected. You can see my professional background on my LinkedIn.

I will post about what I'm learning on my website, where I also maintain a plan for the next 3 months. I plan to complete some paper replications and open source contributions, then start applying at the end of June/beginning of July. I am aiming to work at major AI labs (OpenAI, Google DeepMind, OpenAI, FAR AI, etc.), but I will also be applying to software/ML engineering roles at other tech companies. I will accept any offer at a major AI lab if I receive one, but if not, I will accept the offer with the best compensation and work accommodation.
