FAQ

What memory‑footprint number should I quote for a 7 B model on a single A100?
Quote the 8 GB figure that matches the hardware limit; candidates who reference the 2.3 GB saving from vLLM paging and confirm the remaining footprint stays under 8 GB receive higher “Memory Efficiency” scores.

Should I mention offloading even if the interview prompt only asks about quantization?
Yes. Interviewers reward “not just quantization, but strategic offloading” when the scenario includes heterogeneous memory tiers; the extra detail can boost the “Systems Insight” dimension from a 4 to a 6.

How much equity is acceptable for a senior LLM PM role at Google?
A typical offer includes 0.05 % equity with a $30 000 sign‑on; asking for significantly more (e.g., 0.15 %) can shift a marginal 4‑point technical score to a rejection in the hiring committee.amazon.com/dp/B0GWWJQ2S3).
