Anyone got any advice on recruiters? Do they actually add much value, or are you better off going direct to the big consultancies?

Use recruiters as they can coach you and provide pointers on how to improve your CV. They will also chase for updates and prep you for interviews.
Even better, get referrals from a bowl. Whoever refers you stands to make money if you get hired so is motivated to see you succeed

I have 5 YOE in Analytics... always thought I wanted to be a DS, but every job (even the junior ones) required experience in ML development.

I know the thought process and stuff but 'I' wasn't the one who did that part in the project. How to convince them that I could do the job without taking credit of others.

I have become hooked on finding a job that involves solving the kinds of problems they presented during their interviews. Although I got to the final round my performance anxiety got the better of me (I think I wanted the job a bit too much...). I will reapply after working in a similar company.

Is it "deep tech" / "data science" or "smart enterprise" that they're doing? Any advice welcome.
