At the end of 2013, there were basically not many artificial intelligence-related jobs in China.
Only the research positions in Baidu's Artificial Intelligence Research Institute can be regarded as serious AI positions.
Not to mention majors, it wasn’t until 2016-17 that the first batch of related undergraduate majors were officially opened.
By the time the graduates of the first two classes of artificial intelligence majors came out, it would have been almost 21-22 years.
At this point in time, both the Internet and artificial intelligence markets have cooled down slightly, ushering in a relative "cold winter."
"No matter what your major is, if you wait until it becomes popular to study, it will probably be too late." When Meng Fanqi applied for the electrical examination, the salary was quite good.
Just wait seven years to read it, and the world has already changed.
The position Meng Fanqi offered at this time was the real ticket to the beginning of the ten-year artificial intelligence wave.
Since engineers related to iOS and Android mobile systems are urgently recruited, Meng Fanqi's recruitment picture directly marked the salary and benefits for several related positions.
As for those positions that are not so urgent but will be needed later, Gao Wen and the lawyer are planning to bring in a friend who is engaged in human resources to take charge of this part of the matter.
As a pure engineer, Meng Fanqi hated the way laymen managed experts.
Therefore, he is only responsible for the recruitment and salary setting of familiar technical personnel here, and other positions still require professionals to control.
However, the price offered by Meng Fanqi, a small start-up company, to technical personnel can be said to be the only one in the industry.
Like the three previous founders of Mihuyou, the best jobs they can find in this season are mostly between 10,000 and 20,000 yuan a month.
As for Meng Fanqi, one of the ten or so initial members, the basic salary offered was around 30,000 to 40,000.
Five insurances, one housing fund and other guarantees are fully paid, and bonuses and options are calculated separately based on contributions and actual results.
"I am super?? A basic salary of 500,000 yuan a year before tax?? Computers are so profitable now??"
This treatment will be very common in the artificial intelligence industry a few years later, but when I suddenly see it now, the effect is still extremely shocking.
"Oh my god, it's more than half a million yuan a year before tax. The tax alone is almost higher than my annual salary..."
"People in their twenties give employees half a million yuan, but when I was in my twenties, I couldn't earn more than fifty thousand a year..."
"Are you a top student looking for a girlfriend? I'm a lolita!" Meng Fanqi clicked on it and saw that it was male.
Of course, Meng Fanqi also knew that when recruiting people at this time, especially App-related engineers, there was actually no need to ask for such a high salary.
It's not like you can't recruit people if you open around 20,000 yuan.
But he has made so much money, why bother with this?
If you treat yourself as a capitalist after making money after rebirth, wouldn't you become the kind of person you once hated the most?
Meng Fanqi's thoughts and outlook are still that of a serious working class person. When the company makes money, he will never be stingy in paying bonuses to his employees.
Moreover, it is said that under a heavy reward, there must be a brave man.
The pace in the early stage is tight and the tasks are difficult, so those with lower levels may not be able to endure it.
Although the salary is high, not everyone is qualified to get it.
After all, the number of places in the first batch was limited, and Meng Fanqi did not have that much time to devote to the interview.
In the private messages sent by Bibo and the email address left by Bibo, resumes have gradually begun to be received.
Meng Fanqi screened some of them. Those who are recruited by social workers must have experience in app-related projects. Those who are in school can be relaxed a bit, but the school and grades must be slightly better.
Since Meng Fanqi did not give a salary discount for the three-month internship period, this position is extremely tempting to college students in their fourth year or third year who are seeking internships.
Not only did several prestigious schools in Shanghai submit many resumes, but there were also many resumes from surrounding provinces and cities, and even Yanjing.
Meng Fanqi does not discriminate against academic qualifications. He makes judgments more based on the interview.
Unfortunately, he submitted too many resumes, and his time and energy did not allow him to interview each one.
When screening resumes, Meng Fanqi felt a little embarrassed. I am an ordinary 211, but now I have completely non-C9 experience and I am not even given an interview.
Don't tell me, it feels so good!
I made appointments with more than a dozen students from Shanghai Jiaotong University, Fudan University and other universities to come to Caohe, and also made appointments with more than a dozen online interviews from Jinghua University and Yenching University.
Including those people who are recruited by the company, it can be said that they are fully integrated in three to five days.
Fortunately, when interviewing students who are still studying, there is no need to interview each one individually. Meng Fanqi basically does four or five together and does a basic algorithm question first.
Doing the questions first at the beginning can be said to be the standard for many Internet positions. This kind of questions actually has little to do with the position, and the things examined are basically not used after joining the job.
But for college students, it is indeed a good way to test their mastery of basic data structure knowledge.
The questions asked by Meng Fanqi are not very difficult. At this time, Likou, a platform for solving questions, is not particularly popular even in the United States, and it is far away from entering the country.
Considering the situation in the country at this time, Meng Fanqi kept most of the questions asked in the interview at a simple level, with occasionally one or two questions of slightly medium difficulty.
"Give you an integer array nums, determine whether there is a triplet [nums[i], nums[j], nums[k]] that satisfies i != j, i != k and j != k, and also satisfies nums [i]+ nums[j]+ nums[k]== 0. Please return all non-duplicate triples whose sum is 0.
Note: Answers cannot contain duplicate triples. "
In human language, this question refers to which three numbers in a series of numbers add up to 0. This is the easiest group of questions of medium difficulty.
For example, [-1, 0, 1, 2, -1, -4], then there are two sets of numbers [[-1, -1, 2], [-1, 0, 1]], three plus are equal to 0.
Questions like this require simple and easy-to-understand questions. In fact, it is far from easy to implement the code as everyone thinks.
Perhaps based on this example, many people can quickly make programs that meet the requirements, but they may not be able to take into account all kinds of corner cases.
"The simplest way is to triple loop and then use the hash table to remove duplicates. This complexity is at the cubic level, so there is no need to write it."
"Uh..." As soon as these words came out, several students who started coding hesitantly turned pale and began to think hard again.
A few people were coding wildly. Meng Fanqi took a look and saw that there was nothing wrong with the idea. He added double pointers for sorting.
Although this question is not difficult, there are not many good solution ideas. This trick is considered standard.
Meng Fanqi took a closer look and found that the details of two students were indeed quite good.
The judgment of whether the enumerations overlap, the confirmation of the pointer position relationship, whether the pointers overlap, and the setting of conditions for loop exit are all quite careful.
This is quite rare now that Likou and Mianjing have not become popular.
"What's the complexity of the algorithm?" Meng Fanqi asked softly.
"Time is quadratic, and space is logN." Xia Yan is a very thin and fair young man. His family's economic conditions are average when he comes from a small town.
The price offered by Meng Fanqi was something he had never thought of, so he took this test very seriously. It was a great opportunity to reduce the pressure at home.
"Have you ever participated in ICPC? This kind of question is too basic for you." ACM-ICPC is a large-scale programming competition for college students, and achieving results in it is very valuable.
Until 2023, the regional gold medal is basically a pass for the first three levels of the interview.
Xia Yan smiled shyly but with a little pride: "I won the regional gold medal with two friends, and they are also here today."
