Congratulations @justinho
Iām reading your post, awesome writing.
Anyway Iām CS student from SJTU Shanghai, still in progress to learn from fast.ai and learn some Chinese language too, haha.
Please read my personal message, need to clarify some thought before I graduate next year
This is a very interesting discussion. I was wondering if there is any underlying IP issues related to deeply rely on a framework - such as Fast.AI library? Is this the reason those companies want to go a non-framework way? In other words, ādo you own the underlying technology that you are re-tooling?ā
Ops just realized this is a thread from last year. But anyway, if it is possible, Iād like to get some answers regarding using open-framework such as Fast.AI to develop commercial end-product.
The fastai license is very open - there shouldnāt be any problem using it in a commercial product.
Hi Everyone,
I want to share my experience, I just attended Udacityās Hiring Fair and want to share my experience/preparation methodology:
The Event
Udacity hosts hiring fairs in India where they bring their hiring partners and the students get to apply.
My Experience
I was seeking entry level Data/ML/DL/SDC positons.
Here are the questions Iāve prepared from during the last week.
Here is the resume that I had crafted after spending 14-15 hours over the formatting and correcting spaces.
There were 2 companies that were hiring for ML. Gramophone was strictly hiring experienced people. Marax.ai was interested in Freshers, I got picked up by them!!! I was floated the position of an intern since they were looking for hiring someone but Iām still a student and they were interested in giving me a shot-They shortlisted me for further rounds.
A few tips for attending a hiring fair:
- Carry plenty of copy of Resumeā. I had carried in 20, if I was an experienced person those wouldāve definitely been less.
- This might sound ridiculous - be shameless. I had the courage to walk into companiesā rooms that were looking at people with 4-5 years of experience. I requested them to consider my application and then when I got turned down, asked for their feedback. I think their feedback was really helpful.
- Be Patient! The event was from 9AM-6PM. I had almost given up hope until My name got called out at 4:50PM!!
- I was sure enough to talk with the people that were commonly being called for interviews. I discussed their paths, asked for feedback.
- Know your Resume in and out. My Resume has a huge education section, even though I believe Iāve done more projects than my college friends. I still have āStudentā shouting from my Resumeās first look.
- If discussing a technical question, think loudly! It is impossible for someone to understand you in under 1-2 hours. So talk aloud about your thought process. Thatās what the few hours of interview are meant for.
A little Personal Note: (And a few silly ideas)
To me, the fact that I didnāt know how to git pull until last fall and now I was able to walk into a completely professional scenario, give an interview with complete confidence is still unbelievable.
If youāre like me from a Month ago, here are a few silly things that gave me confidence:
- I called up my biggest bragster friend- compared my efforts with them, I felt that I certainly am not the worst candidate. (The guy is an artist but he cares to jump into DL in and out and I think I know a few things better than him)
- I told myself āEvery single day Iāve spent during the past few months, were for getting an oppurtunity, so Be Confident. Iāve done my homework wellā
- This one was ridiculous: I called up an Audi seller and asked them about R8ās colour options the day before the interview - I wasnāt even considering that I might get rejected. I walked in with a mind that Iād land so much money that Iād drive home in Audi, even though I was pretty sure that I was going to Uber Pool the next day.
- @rishi_mrb (My Roomate) and I were planning on where to celebrate once we get an āofferā, the night before the interview.
- Know that the person Interviewing you is on YOUR SIDE!
TL:DR; Be confident-I was really nervous but these few silly things really helped me in staying confident.
Iām still very less knowledgable and I still havenāt gotten a āJob-jobā but I really believe that I have some movement in the right direction.
I think much of/rather all of it is thanks to this community.
The Heroes and Kagglers I look up to on here and everyone who has helped me with my silly questions (Not tagging everyone since Itād be a very long list).
Sanyam.
