complex statistical concepts” to a regular person. I am great with advanced SQL scripting and building complex tableau workbooks but haven’t done anything really beyond basic descriptive statistics. No regression models or anything like that. Not enough to interpret output anyways. Should i pull out of the interview or go in and embarrass myself?

Those guys don’t know much either. They will ask you how to explain to a non technical client what a p-value or what a confidence interval is and what it means for interpreting their results. There is also some academic paper floating on the Internet co-authored by Facebook people on measuring incremental performance of ad campaigns. They ask about that too

Prep for it and go and give the interview. You don't have anything to lose. If you bomb it, u still have your current job. If you do well, you may move along to the next step. Who knows?

OP, sent you DM

You’re the best. Got it. Very helpful

Open to a new role more focused in the tech industry. Have nearly 5 years working in a top 5 Canadian bank. I currently manage a commercial banking portfolio of roughly $100 million in annual commercial lending clients. Have experience selling and managing c-suite etc. Looking for a remote opportunity.

Resigned from my job for blatant racism last week. Been a contingent worker for 6 months. The manager that recruited me unfortunately left after a couple weeks and went to another company. She however recommended me for the permanent opportunity to higher management. The acting manager came in, permanent role was posted, I applied, interviewed……manager told me they chose someone else external for the role. I could sense the manager had no intentions to hire me permanently

I’m in big law and on the cusp of making the jump to in-house. It sounds like the company I just interviewed with is getting ready to make me an offer.

I’m so burnt out by big law and this seems like an awesome opportunity to help shape a newish company. Any tips on how to figure out if this is the right move for me?
