Interview process
I was first contacted by the recruiter for a buisness DS position and had a quick screen. They walked me through the several rounds and what is covered in each. Later on they even helped me go through feedback for each round. Had a total of about 5-6 rounds. The rounds were mostly case study and statistics oriented. Had very little ML depth questions.

“I just found like nervousness dropped my IQ like 20 points, so I ended up doing a lot of mocks with GPT. Then I started seeing way more causal inference in interviews, like the field can go back to the science part.”
“Started off with recruiter screening with light technical questions, and walked me through all the rounds. Next, I had several rounds. Very light coding, mostly case studies and stats knowledge. Very theory/application focused.”
