Process
I applied through an employee referral. The process took 2 weeks.
First interview in which I mainly presented my thesis + general knowledge on LLMs (embeddings, tokens, transformers...).
Second interview in which I got a list of methods for parallel Distributed Deep Learning (like Data Parallelism, Model Parallelism...). For each method there was a short description (though it's suggested to be familiar with them beforehand), and the question was to calculate the memory complexity of each GPU according to the hyperparameters I got.
