A combination of being unfamiliar with what is normal for that kind of situation and a strong desire for things to go well is quite dangerous.

Also goes to show that anywhere there is desperation there will be people preying on it.

Someone going by Xin Jia reached out to me over email saying they had seen some of my work and that they had something similar they were working on and asked if I'd like to meet to discuss. He sent me a calendly link to schedule a time. The start of the meeting was relatively normal. I introduced my background and some things I am interested in.

It became clear that it was a scam when I started asking about the project. He said they were a software consulting company mostly based out of China and Malaysia that was looking to expand into the US and that they focused on "backend, frontend, and AI development" which made no sense as I have no experience in any of those (my who wants to be hired post was about ML and scientific computing stuff). He said as part of my evaluation they were going to have me work on something for a client and that I would have to install some software so that one of their senior engineers could pair with me. At this point he also sent me their website and very pointedly showed me that his name was on there and this was real.

After that I left. I'll look for the site they sent me but I'd imagine it's probably down. It just looked like a generic corporate website.

They reached out saying they liked my projects and had something I might be interested in, then set up an interview where they tried to get me to install malware.

I’m a computer science student who has worked in numerical computing and machine learning for most of my undergrad. Currently working in our university's fire lab doing deep learning on satellite data. I’m interested in internships in technology for critical industry (rail, energy, agriculture, manufacturing, telecom, etc.), technical writing, or scientific computing.

Some of his more philosophical content has been really valuable to me as well.
