Session Summary
3-hour session reactivating job search. Created a landscape survey of 35+ elite-caliber roles, established a quality bar, prepped OpenAI application materials, and identified Thinking Machines Lab as a new target.
Key Outcomes
- Caliber bar established: 5-criteria filter (company prestige, seniority, comp trajectory, AI centrality, direct posting link) codified across pipeline config, rules, and wiki
- OpenAI: 3 roles selected (Personalization, API Agents, Safety Measurement). Applied to 2 during session. Discovered no cover letter field exists – only Additional Information text box
- Thinking Machines Lab: Research PM at Mira Murati’s $2B frontier AI lab. Materials prepped. Warm intro path via OpenAI connections identified
- Resume updated: GDrive resume refreshed with current numbers (30+ repos, 260+ sessions, 10+ apps, browser agent, learning agent, knowledge wiki)
- Process gaps fixed: Voice source of truth (my-voice repo), liveness verification (company careers page not aggregators), resume sourcing (GDrive not local variants)
Open Items
- Apply to OpenAI API Agents
- Apply to Thinking Machines Lab + draft warm intro outreach
- Decide on non-AI roles (Roblox, Reddit, Snap, Affirm)
- Liveness audit for other pipeline companies
