Any advice for a Data Science skills interview? I’ve never had a skills interview and don’t know what to expect.

Are you going to be coding for them? Did they tell you what skills it's for?

No idea. They just said that I’ll have a skills interview and then a general interview.

I'd guess anything from conceptual ML to leetcode 🤷‍♂️
The way it's described just tell me "not the behavioral one" cause that's (probably) the other one

Throw them a list of data science skills (that you know) and ask them to clarify which one. What the heck are these people talking about

Omg had my first data scientist skills test today too. The questions that fuked me up: how would you determine which groups/variables have the highest impact on dependent variable? (I really should have known this) and What would you have to take into account for an A/B/C test that you wouldn’t need to for an A/B test?

Yea I have no idea what either of those things are. I honestly shouldn’t have even gotten as far as I did in the interview 💀 But thank you, will look into both

I applied for a role a few days ago and found the relevant hiring manager today via LinkedIn. Should I send a follow up mail/introduce myself to this person. Would it leave a good impression or come across as desperate?

Btw, the person is in a “Talent Acquisition” position at the company.

Wondering what people think about my situation. I’ve been offered a role with a company. The job description didn’t mention college degree as a requirement.

It’s a 4 year degree and under this I have my High School equivalent with the years I attended there. The education wasn’t mentioned in the interviews. Continued below.
