Guys. I want to share the worst interview experience I had with Amex today. It was for data science/analytics position.. it was with Director. Initially he asked me about any data science project I did and explain it to him.. then he asked me about my fav subjects in Btech for which I said database he said no apart from that.. i said computer networks. Then he started asking me questions on computer networks.. i told him that it was 5 years ago it was my fav sub but now I don't remember..

Really sorry that you had to face such an interview. Sometimes interviewer has some weird expectations of their own. Please don't worry about this interview. All we can do is to keep trying till we find a good opportunity.

Goodluck

Next time end the interview then and there and tell interviewer that you are not interested to talk to him. No harm. You are lucky that you will not be working with him.

I also don’t know if he really has an opportunity or if this is just some corporate circle jerk where my current director is trying to “smoke me out”. I don’t speak poorly of my team/work.

I have never done freelance work and was given the opportunity to take part in a cool project. My problem is it’s a proactive case by a brand new agency and it’s their own project, meaning there’s no client who pays for the work. For them it’s PR for their new business, but I think they’re expecting me to work completely pro bono. It does have potential for a great case and I’d love to have it in my portfolio, but is it reasonable for them not to compensate me? Any tips on how to approach this?
