Currently in New York and trying to find a finance role in SF Bay Area. Does location play a big role in being selected for the interview phase by recruiters/hiring managers.

It does not from a relocation cost perspective. It does from a network and being familiar with tech business perspective. Interviewed with Twitter and few other tech firms for a finance role in Bay Area. The interviews went really well. But they finally chose someone who has been at FAANG

Yes that’s the challenge I am facing. I am working in finance in a bank and moving to Bay Area in finance on tech seems to be an uphill task.

Yes and most certainly expect a question about your timetable for relocation.

What kind of role? Can you be a bit more specific?

Thanks

I’m from NYC and made the transition. One price of advice. CA employment law and how to manage CA’s hyper diverse workforce is something that many Californian’s have a as a bias. Consider including stories of managing/leading a diverse team and negotiating with people who are very different from your background-whatever that might be

Thanks!

Hi! Does anyone know what kind of knowledge is needed to crack the Data Scientist interview at Google?

Any help and guidance is appreciated! Thanks :)
