Ask HN: OpenAI employees, how did you get the job?

[davidajackson]

It's been entertaining reading about the OpenAI-Meta talent wars. I thought it would be an interesting discussion to ask some OpenAI employees here how they got an 'in' to one of the most challenging companies to join.

Obviously, with the levels of talent on here, many of us are more founder-oriented/already have great gigs, but I'm curious if there were any special processes or connections you had to get the job. No agenda here :) just want to hear more about this.
