I just wonder if someone has such strong skills in Python and DL experience will be interested in this opportunity, they should be in the industry with a much better salary already, not to mention the requirement of winning a medal.

The chance to work in your partner companies and so-called mentorship is just BS. Yes, it is offensive as your proposed salary do.

Remote contractors in this world earn more than permanent roles, do you really think working anywhere on earth is a selling point with this salary?
