Can you use excel during the interviews to do calculations? Figured if it would be virtual it would be easier to do so.

Damn, I was hoping to hire a data scientist to write a machine learning algorithm which would predict the precise questions and answers that the interviewer is expecting based on the specific inputs from the case. Back to pen and paper I guess 😂

You cannot. They want to see how you problem solve and perform without those tools.

Noooo. Unfortunately you can't. I wish you could though. It sure would make things easier.

I recently had an initial interview for a technical recruiter position. The guy on the phone stated that this is not a 9-5 job and long hours are expected. I proceed to ask how much PTO is offered and he said that is not recommend within the first 6 months of working and the harder you work the more PTO you receive. From that conversation, I saw instant red flags. Any thoughts?

Those who do financial modeling at work: for case study in interviews, is it bad practice to submit a model based on a premade template, assuming that I understand all formulas and incorporate my own reasonable assumptions?

I do like the company that gave me an offer but their base pay was 80k and they went up to 85k. Is asking for them to match the 90k too much? The position is associate systems engineer.

We’re paying a lot for formal pictures and while this isn’t a tragedy by any means, it is upsetting to my fiancé and I, especially as we ALWAYS go with everyone else’s flow.
