Got an interview for a job with a company I like but the original posting is now gone and I can’t remember the specifics to prep for the interview. Is it a bad look to ask for the job description?

No, it’s ok to ask for one and say you want to prepare to highlight your experience as most relevant to the job description. Also important for you- I’ve messed up interviews before because I didn’t have a job description and thus didn’t know how I was being evaluated.

Hi Fishes,
My total experience is 5 in QA, I attended Deloitte interview. First round was technical and it went quite well, they asked lot of theory questions. I answered few and quite I was not sure of answers. She gave feedback like my communication and confidence level is good and project wise I'm having good knowledge and coming to concept wise it's not upto the mark for experience. So my query is will they call me for next round?I really wanna get selected since Deloitte is mydream company

I'm looking to find a job like the Forward Deployed Engineer role Palantir Technologies in the UK.

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.
