Did anyone make a transition from being an MBB data scientist to a FAANG data scientist?
1. How did you differentiate your value proposition? Given the solid technical bar, does consult and business skills create an advantage?
2. How do you feel about the change?
3. Any tips on the preparation process?

Depends on what kind of FAANG data scientist. Are we talking FB style product analytics DS or research / stats oriented DS? The former is much more common and doesn't require hardcore technical skills besides some SQL tricks. The business skills help with the product sense questions which are basically cases.

The more research / stats focused DS is a whole other ball game and requires serious studying outside case work because in consulting nobody cares about theory.

Also, if someone can put few pointers on Apple vs MBB data Scientist, same profile, almost similar salary structure. How does things May look 5 years down the line?

I had two rounds for FAANG this year, for MLE. They test you thoroughly on Computer Science fundamentals, and Systems Design with a touch of ML. There is also a data science aspect to it where they might probe you on basic statistics.

Anyone have advice for advancing in your current role? My co-worker was hired in at manager level but somehow “proved” he was actually doing director level work and got a title promotion and salary increase in less than a year. I also went above and beyond my job as well (covering for him for a month while he was away on paternity leave) while taking on other projects outside of my job title and got zip—no raise or recognition. Any advice would be appreciated!

Had my virtual on-site for an S&O L3 role 3.5 weeks ago (NYC, 5 YOE). I haven’t heard back on a decision yet, and was wondering how long it typically takes? I also know that I was one of the very first candidates to interview for this specific role, and there are atleast 2 more people scheduled for onsites. Does the recruiter typically wait for all candidates to finish their onsites before communicating a decision? Or if I haven’t heard back yet, it’s probably a reject?
