Hi Fishes
I would like to know about the client interviews (especially in data science or machine learning roles).
Are these interviews tough?
Are these interviews meant to assess technical knowledge? For example, what is binomial distribution, what are different data structures in python, ml algorithms etc.
I would request each of the nagarrians to share their thoughts irrespective of the technologies you are working.
I am thankful to you for taking time and helping me out.

It's not weird at all. But it will come off as a spam message if not done right. Here are some tips:
- Do your research on who to reach out to. I clearly state in my LI profile that I recruit for data science. But people from unrelated disciplines reach out all the time. I'm already swamped, most of my team had been laid off, I don't have time to find the recruiter you need to speak to in another part of the business.
- Apply to a role first then reach out. It's not the recruiter's job to take random resumes and figure out what role you should apply to. Get on the company's career page, find a role that interests you and apply.
- Send a message: you've found the right person to message, you've applied to a role, now craft a message. Tell me you applied, which role you applied to, why you want to work at my company, and what skills/experience/accomplishments make you a great fit for the role.
Hope this helps!
How did you find their email address? Might seem weird if you weren't introduced first and somehow found their email address online? Unless they have it publicly posted somewhere in connection with their work - then sort of to be expected. But I would second passing along a LinkedIn invite first.
No its not weird at all. It happens more often than you know. I would just be straightforward, introduce yourself, and then go from there. You will be fine.
You should connect with them on LinkedIn first. This way they would be able to see your profile and them from there you can send your resume and inquire about job postings.
