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

Hi Fishes,

I am looking for the job change in ServiceNow profile and having a experience of 4+ yrs.

Currently I am trying to create network in linked in and naukari but still not getting the response from some companies like JP Morgan or mindtree etc.

Can u help me to understand what is the best way to create a network to some major companies.

I know applying directly to the company site mostly doesn't have any benefit or will take long time to schedule the interview.

I absolutely HATE third party recruiters. They continuously waste my time, always slice my rate in half, and have never have solidified a project for me — PLEASE GO AWAY!

ahhhh.. I feel better now 💆🏻‍♂️

Okay well great thanks for telling me this now, 6 months after it was initially exchanged. I don’t understand how he could do that.
