Got an interview with Amazon within their Advertising department. I hear working for Amazon can be great if you get into the right department. Anyone have insights to their advertising department? Good or bad? Also, would love some interview tips if you have them! (It’s for an Executive Assistant position) thank you!
Hi fishes
I was supposed to have my Amazon Round 3 interview in the first week of May but the interviewer didn't join. My recruiter didn't reply for a few days and then rescheduled it.
Even in this rescheduled interview, my interviewer didn't join. This time my recruiter joined and said she'll reschedule my interview.
She still hasn't done that even after a follow up.
Is this common? Is this some kind of patience test?
I have no clue but I'm really frustrated at this point.
Please suggest

Some bullets:
- Blacks 53% more likely to experience any use of force relative to 15% for whites
- All controls available, officers 46.6% less likely to discharge firearms before being attacked if suspect is black.
- Black officers are more likely to shoot unarmed whites, relative to white officers.
- Blacks are 21% less likely to report voluntary interaction with police than whites.

Keep applying don’t jump to an MS unless you have to. I would recommend focusing on roles where you have domain expertise. Also lots of data science roles don’t have data scientist in the job title.
Thank you both for the detailed a advice. It was very helpful and I plan to implement everything. (Just downloaded goodfellows for the second time I will pair this with some more digestible coursera courses lol).
Following. Quick tip: nonselective online degree programs, especially from no-name schools, are not worth the money.
I was in the same boat, then I did Georgia Tech OMSCS and it helped me pivot.

Do a masters to learn, not just get a job. If you're happy with you level of knowledge and the roles that maps to, which of these makes more sense?
- the time and cost of a masters
-no additional cost applying places continuously and networking for half that time
The latter, by a very wide margin.
Of course, you do have to know enough... You won't regret a masters, but it's not an efficient use of time if you're a self-study powerhouse that can independently study graduate statistics. Quick check and not entirely uncommon interview question: derive OLS (matrix notation) and explain as you go. If you were comfortable with this at some point in your self study and can relearn it easily, you're probably on the right track even without a masters. If not, you'd benefit from the MS for learning. Btw, it's not that the regression derivation is something special--just a good check for how deep you've been diving up until now. And there are certainly positions that don't require this level of knowledge.
