background
I have a master's degree in computer science, focusing on target detection. I majored in mathematics as an undergraduate and have internship experience in algorithm development in a small company.
Delivery starts in September and runs until mid-October.
There was only one offer, from a large state-owned enterprise in Shandong that was waiting to be listed. The person who made agricultural machinery did not have a fixed position, so he also missed it. 1.5*13
On October 24, I received another offer from a small state-owned enterprise in Weihai. The salary is a bit low, the work pressure is not high, and you get overtime pay for overtime work. It is quite a pension. If I were in Qingdao, I would go there. 0.9*13
submit resume
I have applied to more than 100 companies, large and small, including 51 directly recruited by the boss (nearly 300 said hello), 75 recruited by Zhaopin (19 interested), and added more than 20 HR WeChat, 51job, Haitou, company official website, hr email, etc.
The main submissions are from Shandong companies, including software development companies, industrial companies and research institutes. Many resumes are directly submitted, such as Hisense, Haier, Dingxin, Inspur and various research institute subsidiaries. These companies only need world-class institutions this year. Or from world-class disciplines, there are also many who didn’t reply, or who didn’t want to be fresh graduates.
written examination
There are basically no written tests for algorithm positions in companies in Shandong. I only received two written tests:
Jinan Boguan and Zhejiang Dahua. Boguan’s was very simple, while Dahua’s written test questions had both depth and breadth and were straightforward.
There are many assessments, so I won’t list them all, but I heard that some people failed the assessment because they didn’t do it well, so you still have to look at the questions and don’t just choose what’s appropriate.
Interview situation
| company | cause and effect | Interview schedule and format |
|---|---|---|
| 716 | Academic qualifications | 1h, Tencent meeting (default interviews are all Tencent meetings) |
| Kejie Logistics (Qingdao) | I passed the technology, but the department was gone, and in the end I was sacked again. I had less money and more work, so I refused. | 1h |
| Shandong Ruibang | The technology has passed, but the department is gone | Less than 1 hour |
| Weichai Lovo | Offer depends on household registration, college entrance examination scores, and breadth of knowledge | 15min |
| Tencent Yantai Research Institute | I passed the technical exam, but I don’t want to be a fresh graduate. I just don’t do human affairs. If I passed the technical exam, they said I was a student and didn’t want me. During the technical exam, I was very happy to chat with the technician. He read a lot of my blog posts and focused on the blog posts. We exchanged the content on the website and answered all the questions we asked. | 1h |
| Tomohiro new | Technical job, interview on September 30th, interviewer should be writing weekly report at the same time, not very interested in me, basically didn't ask anything | 20min |
| can be specific | I think I failed. The salary was very high, 2-4w. Of course, the requirements were also high, requiring knowledge of drones and robots. The interview was divided into three parts: Q&A on resume content; hand-shredded code; and emotional intelligence questions. | 1h |
| XCMG Group | Estimated job transfer | 15min |
| Shandong First Medical University | I was rejected for the assistant position because the cake was too big to eat. | 20min |
| Yantai Haiyi Software | I just made a phone call to find out briefly. | 25min |
| SINOTRUK | He must have failed. There were not many people with double master's degrees who were interviewed in the same batch. | 3 min |
| New Beiyang | I passed the first session and waited for the second session. Maybe there was a shortage of people. If I canceled the second session, I will be counted as having passed. | 20min |
| Jinan Boguan | The written test is 60 minutes + one side is 15 minutes + the other side is 20 minutes. The first side: project + language + cutting-edge knowledge of target detection. Although the time is short, the questions are all about the ideas; the second side: comprehensive interview, personal situation and projects | 60+15min(telephone)+20min(WeChat)+20min(telephone) |
Interview summary
Generally speaking, there were only four companies where the interviews were more formal, and those interviews lasted about 1 hour, but in the end they passed the technical level (except for being able to specialize), and did not get to the salary negotiation stage due to various other reasons.
The algorithm post I interviewed will mainly ask questions around the projects on the resume. If students don’t have a project, it’s no problem. They can just make a reproduction of the Yolo target detection by themselves. The premise is that they know all the Yolo codes well. Yolo is very common in the industrial world, and interviewers also like to ask yolo, such as how the anchor is obtained (k-means), what is the physical meaning of the detection head output (xywh adjustment, confidence, class), etc. Only one company asked Machine learning content.
Lovol will go public this year, so it has hired a lot of R&D personnel. We have more than 300 R&D personnel in this batch (machinery and electronic control are the big ones). With the same academic ability, the salary of computers is slightly higher than that of machinery. I didn’t have a choice, so I had to go to 996. Fortunately, the Weifang government and the company gave me a lot.
New Beiyang lost more than one million yuan last year, and its market value also dropped a lot. The work pressure should not be great, and the offer was not much (within 10 yuan), so I refused.
Bo Guan asked me how much I wanted during the second interview. I asked for 14. I heard from my classmates that Xi'an Univision gave me 12. This year, Uniview Shuangfeishuo directly gave me a crappy price, close to my scalp. I should have asked for more. Sorry, never seen it again.
I signed a contract with Weichai Lovol on November 3rd. The autumn recruitment is over. I will wait and see again in the spring.
