Yes. I’ve bombed a stats 101 question and I want to kick myself.

But seriously how many have memorized their textbook that closely? Especially with experienced hires? I heard some big tech folks who got laid off find it hard to get back in because the interview process became really, really hard

I’ve bombed ad hoc phone calls testing knowledge.
