I wrote a blog post on why I decided to join OpenAI instead of academia.
(after I went on the academic & industry job markets, and got offers from both.)
This post (pt2 in a series) took a while ๐ - hoping my experience helps others make life decisions!
My first post on Mastodon! It's Fall ๐ -- the season for pumpkins๐, cozy beverages โ, and for the academic job market to come into full swing๐
I wrote a blog post to share my experience applying last cycle (for both CS academia & industry) -- and to demystify the process.

(If there's interest, I'll write a follow-up post about why I changed my mind, and decided to join OpenAI instead ๐)
I went on the Computer Science academic and industry job market last year (2021-2022), and am writing this post to share a bit about my experience to other applicants. I received so much help along the way, so I wanted to pay some of that forward.
