Hi, thanks for doing this! A few questions: 1) Given the recent tech layoffs, what do you think the mood is among sponsors and attendees where hiring is concerned? Is there a lot of active recruiting? 2) Do you feel like the sponsors/vendors are exclusively hiring people fresh out of school, or is there a range of openings? 3) Are you seeing any groups working on neuro-symbolic methods to leverage the successes of LLMs?

(You were kind to address my earlier question in this sub about job seeking at NeurIPS - unfortunately I wasn't able to come this year. )

  1. The recruiters who are there are still intent on hiring and getting to know people. But the big corps have shifted from "we're hiring everything and everyone" to "if you're outstanding in an area we care about, we'd love to have you". I haven't talked much to recruiters, but it seemed like they were still trying hard to find interested people.

  2. Can't say. HR people were interested in me, though my badge clearly says that I already work in industry.

  3. Haven't seen much happening in that sphere (which does not imply that it isn't out there).
