How to Negotiate Industry Offers in AI
We look forward to meeting you at the conference! One event we are hosting that could be particularly helpful for job seekers is a webinar on How to Negotiate Industry Offers in AI. This is a brand new webinar with updated content if you've previously attended some of our events.
Some of the topics we discuss are:
- How to choose the best job offer for career growth
- When should you walk away from a job offer
- When can an offer be rescinded from negotiating
Lapsed Physicists Wine-and-Cheese
"Lapsed" (aka. Former) Physicists are plentiful in the machine learning community. Inspired by Wine and Cheese seminars at many institutions, this BYOWC (Bring Your Own Wine and Cheese) event is an informal opportunity to connect with members of the community.
Hear how others made the transition between fields. Discuss how your physics training prepared you to switch fields or what synergies between physics and machine learning excite you the most. Share your favorite physics jokes your computer science colleagues don't get, and just meet other cool people. Open to everyone, not only physicists; you'll just have to tolerate our humor. Wine and Cheese encouraged, but not required."
