Got the OpenAI offer, still processing it

Hack2hire Community · 2026-07-20T12:00:00.420Z

Wrapped up my OpenAI loop last week and honestly still can't believe it went through. For some background, I'm 6 YOE, mid level, coming from a mid size fintech, so OpenAI always felt like a reach for me. Phone screen was GPU Credits, the resource allocation problem that seems to come up for a lot of people at this point. Took me a while to land on the right approach but got there with time to spare. Onsite had four rounds. First coding was the infected plants simulation, multi state spread model...
