Hi! Does anyone know what kind of knowledge is needed to crack the Data Scientist interview at Google?

I'm currently working in Marketing Analytics (primarily using SQL and a bit of pyspark). Apart from mastering SQL, I wanted to know from people working at Google what does it take to get there as a Data Scientist? (I'm very interested in Strategy Ops)

I plan to another 6-8 months in preparation and upskilling myself before I even apply.
Any help and guidance is appreciated! Thanks :)

Hi all, i have recently attended my second round with manager.
So when can i expect a reply from cognizant ?

Wondering if anyone can share the approximate timeline after applying to Target Corp. to hearing something from them. Applied 9/1 and on the applicant portal the status still says “in progress.” I got a great internal referral, but I’ve not reached out to the hiring manager. 😬 I know there were a few hundred applicants — what’s a realistic timeline and what could I say to the hiring manager if I reach out to them. Many thanks.

How confident were you that you landed a job after the second interview? My friends tell me the fact that I had a second interview is pretty much a guarantee that I will be selected. I am not so sure. So I thought I would check with the fish bowl.

How do firms calculate how much parental leave to provide, either paid or unpaid. Or do they just pick a number, like “yeah they can get to know their kid in a few weeks and I couldn’t possibly have that attorney out for 12 weeks?” I’m at a small firm, no FMLA or state requirement. We get four weeks paid and four weeks unpaid. Would like to push for more but not sure how to argue costs side of it.

Seeking advice: I am a young sales consultant and sales engineer working for a tech startup company. I have 6 years of sales experience. And I have been helping run my family business for the past 10 years. I was intially interviewed for a senior account executive position at a $70k offer. Instead they told me I needed more training and hired me as a Junior account executive at a $50k salary + commission. Today is my 6th month mark and I have done very well. And no talks of a promotion / raise..

What sourcing tips would you have for a new tech recruiter?

Hi, just wondering how the staffing situation has been in strategy consulting in general? My sibling started a job in strategy in Silicon Valley 2 months ago after MBA. She has been on the bench for 2 months and was informed that there has been a shortage of jobs (within the job) and the amount of people on the bench is getting high. She has been under a lot of stress although she had many great networking calls with people. I wanted to help but can't identify what she can improve on.

How do you know when it’s time to get help? I’ve never seen a mental health professional but I just don’t feel like myself lately, a lot of which I think is attributed to quarantine.

SO and I got in to a disagreement on the background of Indian tech CEOs. It appears that they are all from 1 or 2 major communities in India.

While he thinks that its genetics/being naturally gifted that got them to where they are I believe it's the environment & discipline that made them successful. We are not from said communities but curious to hear your thoughts on who is more accurate.

I've noticed that the engineers keep their mouths shut whenever they're asked for feedback, but when they're alone, they talk about how much they wish they could change management.

Why is that?

What have you found to be some of the keys to scaling succesfully, either in a business or a product or dept?

I have to choose between EYGDS & Globallogic.

Heard mixes things abt EYGDS, largely bad.

Currently work in product dev company in data science.
Not exactly sure, how data science work is done in service based companies.

Any inputs?@globallogic, @eygds

Anyone here from NYC? Be cool if there was a meetup.

Should those of us who write code be taking a moral/ethical responsibility for what the code is used for?

Beginning to consider going in house (4th, corp) - I really haven’t thought about what I want, partly because I’m not sure what’s out there/attainable. Is it a bad idea to start by applying to a couple positions that interest me and seeing where that gets me? I’ll of course prep for the interviews but am afraid to burn potential bridges if I ultimately decline because I’m still figuring things out.

🙋🏻‍♀️ F27 Attorney. Anyone finding love here?

I was furloughed yet it doesn’t start until Friday. Per the VPs, this week we have to “transfer our knowledge” to our bosses. Bosses who haven’t been on these projects. Any advice?

Hi Guys,
What should be the Optimum Expected CTC (in GBP ) for working in Bristol, UK?
I have got an offer to move to Bristol from India.
11 years of exp., Technical Product Owner profile.
Cloud computing, AWS, Java, Microservices, etc.

Any guidance about taking a job at a social agency? Is it as bad as everyone says it is?

What small or mid sized NYC shops are doing good work right now?

“Back in the day, I think adland did a better job of giving clients what they never imagined instead of giving them exactly what they wanted.” Paraphrasing, but read something like this recently. True or nah?

Just got laid off do I need cobra? I plan to hopefully have a job soon

Any advice for presenting somebody else’s work? I’ve been stretched thin on different projects but have to present in place of some of on vacation with little time to prepare.

How long does your agency usually give your creative teams to concept new campaign ideas before the first internal review?

Retail, Social, Pharma. Fuck, Marry, Kill....

What's your policy on 'cold-call' messages from hopefuls asking for tips, advice, help? 😇 or 😈

Can we please be done with vertical video? It’s completely opposite the human field of view, looks horrible, no camera other than a cell phone shoots it. Seriously dreading IGTV.

Thank you all for existing on Fishbowl and for being such a supportive community. It’s been a difficult year, but at the end of the day, I’m glad to have people to commiserate/celebrate with ❤️🙂❤️

Has anyone been able to negotiate anything extra or terms when being laid off?

Has anyone tried LinkedIn Premium while on a job search? Is it worth it, would you recommend, and why?

🎃 What remote teambuilding/social committee events has your office done since COVID?

Looking for ideas to replace the drinks or office goodies we normally give out (Halloween, Christmas, July 4, Valentines etc., plus random “fun stuff”) – we’ve done a few virtual happy hours but obviously everyone has had more than enough of Zoom at this stage! We’re all sticking within our immediate teams for informal catch ups - any ideas that involve the whole agency?

We’re in such a vicious business. You give your heart & soul to an agency, a client, a brand. Then the wind changes & you’re laid off, reassigned, chewed up, spit out, on to the next. I’m tired.

Are there any NYC ad agencies that have flexible remote WFH policies or is everyone required to be in the office a few days a week?

Is anyone expecting agency layoffs at the moment?

@Long-time creative freelancers, please enlighten the masses about why you might make a better staff hire than say, someone with nearly all staff role experience. Help clear up this weird prejudice.

Thoughts on CP+B Boulder? What is the vibe like there? Who are the clients?

Strange as it sounds, I'm kinda gonna miss quarantine life.
