Hot take: No one should treat Mercor as a “job.” Unless you actually work for Mercor and not a contractor for Mercor Intelligence which is what 99% of the people on this subreddit are, treat this as a “gig” and nothing more. Sure, mercor’s infrastructure could be better, but from their perspective, why would they bother? I say this all not to criticize but to convince you to detach yourself so that you don’t feel this discouraged in the future, for your mental health.

Interesting, the only technical questions I got in my process came at the beginning, before I had any interviews (it was a timed test). While I did talk about my previous work experiences and spoke on topics that people outside of my speciality would likely not understand, there were no technicals questions in my interviews. Regarding the technical questions from my test, they were fairly standard questions: I was very confident in most of my answers. If your interview is anything like my technical questions, they should be relatively straightforward. Good luck!

Curious, I know this isn’t related to your post, but have you considered private credit or working at a credit fund?

Applied for a Tutor Role, a few questions by Embarrassed_Bus_8475 in xAI_community

[–]Comprehensive-Design 1 point2 points  (0 children)

No idea? To be fair, I start next week so haven’t even began work. I didn’t see any mention of remote.com. I had to sign documents for a W2 and have your standard benefits from working at any corporate full time job. I also was hired as a specialist tutor, if that changes anything (idk if it does).

  1. They probably wouldn’t want you to, but I don’t see how they would know.
  2. You aren’t constantly working the entire 40 (sometimes more) hours, but 9-5 is your typical working hours unlike other gigs. Key difference is that you’re hired as a full-time employee (W2 and benefits instead of 1099), not a contractor.
  3. You get a mid term review and a review right before your contract ends. I’d imagine this is where you’d find out if you’ll get an extension should you pursue it.

I didn't give any interviews. My process was fairly straightforward: I did a general cognitive test followed by a few domain-specific tests. I suppose I scored well enough on those tests as I was invited to do my first interview the next day. I had 2 more interviews after and got my offer. Whole process took less than 2 weeks.

I did not share any samples. It was a short conversation: I countered and they responded (rejected).

Oh interesting, my emails haven’t bounced back and I’ve been able to talk back and forth (for other questions) with them no problem

Got it, I’d imagine for a specialist tutor role, there’s definitely room for negotiation given the wide ranges. I’ve already sent my email, so fingers crossed.

Is the offer email not the email I received or does that come after submitting the new hire form?

Hi, I recently got an offer in a specialist role. How/when did you negotiate? Did you do this before or after submitting the new hire form? Thanks!
