I was reading about how Meta announced their new super intelligence labs, and it's headed by former employees of Scale and GitHub. They have also made 11 new AI-focused hires, which include former Anthropic, Google DeepMind, and OpenAI employees. Plain curious, but how does this whole process of getting employees from other companies to work for yours go?? How does the reach out begin, salary negotiations, etc, work? Anyone here who knows first-hand?

I think a lot of this is often network based. Personal connections to make that a bit more organic makes it easier. I havent done it myself though so outside of that, dont have more detail

It’s just standard poaching practice. Someone (a recruiter or connections) reaches out and expresses interest in wanting you to join their company. I had a recruiter from a competitor reach out to me on LinkedIn. It’s pretty straightforward process like a regular interview once you agree to to it but you have more of the upper hand in negotiation if they want you. I’ve also been told in causal settings by competitors “reach out if you want a change” type of conversations.

Recruiters or hiring managers are pretty much on top of identifying top talent at other companies, sometimes using LinkedIn, referrals, or industry events. They might reach out directly or through mutual contacts. The first contact is usually exploratory... gauging interest, discussing the new role, and seeing if there’s a skills and culture fit. If the candidate is interested, they’ll go through a tailored interview process, often streamlined for senior or highly specialized hires.

Some Business Intelligence/Analyst roles are very data heavy. I wonder why these roles do not have the term “data” in them, and wonder if it’s to keep the salary lower than it should be. I have colleagues doing intense data science tasks as BI Analysts, and can’t help but feel indignant on their behalf because when hearing their job title, one would underestimate their technical ability.

I just screamed at my dad and walked out of our home.

They didn’t even give you a fast track promotion did they?

This is a regular thing and it’s the fucking weekend. I could use a break.
