So I’m 22 years old, I’ve never had a job in my life.

I would not call myself your average person, I’m way too introverted, stay at home type of person for nearly all my life. I also managed to do university from home

I started my job search in March where to my surprise I was getting quite a few interviews. Bearing in mind these were my first ever interviews so I almost certainly went in knowing I’d flop.

And thats exactly what happened, for 3 roles I applied to I was rejected and I had two offers pending of which I rejected one as it was an international remote role (highly specific to what I do) but it was contract based (wasnt sure if I was being scammed) and another role that didn’t require any experience.

In April when looking for roles, it was practically dead. I was seeing the same roles posted in march and sometimes barely anything new. I was looking daily. So April was just a dead month.

It’s now nearing the middle of May and it’s still the same? Am I missing something here? There are barely any new jobs being posted, it’s usually the same repeat roles I’m seeing.

I’ve broadened my job search but that hasn’t really helped much.

My use case is for interpretability work, running LMs locally for more control or renting GPUs to conduct this work as well as for development.

I know apple silicon has MPS that supports the fundamentals (transformerlens, nnsight) etc so 64-128gb variants of MacBooks have appealed to me. But I’m not quite sure about it yet.

What do you guys suggest? This post is not exclusive to this particular use case entirely but more so what an experienced researcher at the moment would buy depending on specific workloads

Thanks!

Can someone please tell me whether this is legit, do they actually deliver on the same day or is it just a sham.

I’ve had possibly the worst experience so far with Royal Mail. Never seen this live tracking thing it’s been 3 days I’m waiting for delivery

Hope i get it today
