Key Points

  • The post expresses interest in a DeepMind Research Engineer role that combines physics, math, and ML and asks how hard it is to secure an interview.
  • The author is a new graduate with quant-research interview experience and has previously applied for an Anthrop ic fellow role with OA that did not progress.
  • They are seeking anecdotal guidance on interview difficulty and preparation for a potential OA process at DeepMind.
  • The discussion highlights the competitive nature of ML research roles at leading AI labs and the difficulty of getting interviews.

Hi all! New to this forum. I have interviewed at multiple places for quant-research role and actively job-searching as a new grad studying math/physics. I saw an opening for deepmind which seems one of the most interesting roles I've ever seen at intersection of physics math and ML. How hard is it to get an interview from them? I'm only ever applied for one other ML role which was fellow at anthropic and I didn't get far in it after the OA.
