When I was at the Berkeley AI hackathon last year, Delve was one of the companies trying to recruit students.

Didn’t know exactly what they did, but still interviewed regardless. During the interview, I asked them what exactly they do and my interviewer said something about SOC 2, compliance, and automating that stuff. I tried getting more details but I didn’t really understand what he was saying, so I brushed it off as not knowing enough about the industry.

I find that interview funny in hindsight because wdym the automation is asking customers to dump screenshots into a folder??? Like you could’ve just said that without all the random buzzwords.

I guess I’m glad I said I wasn’t interested in compliance at the end of the interview 😭

the beauty of college is that you can walk to the restroom, stumble upon your friends randomly auditioning for a choir in a class nearby, try out on a whim despite not knowing it existed two seconds ago nor being in the class, get a part, and suddenly find yourself in a choir class.
