I have interview scheduled and completed from Commonwealth Bank Bangalore location. All technical rounds cleared.
When I called HR i got a surprise answer..
They mentioned the position which I have intervied is different than the salary rem ranges. And my current salary is higher than position what they have got and asked for approval for rem ranges changes..
Is any one faced this? Ideally HR should know expectation and allocation before scheduling intervjew..
I am bit confused with commonwealt
I have received offer from Shell and SAP labs is in final stage salary discussion. Shell is offering 6 lacs more than @SAP labs. I have tried to negotiate a lot from SAP but they are not ready. They are putting conditions like give your full commitment to join then only we'll release offer letter. I am currently looking for work life balance with growth. Should I join @SAP considering its a Product based and good WLB and learning? Teck Stack - Java/Micro-services/cloud YOE - 11yrs
BCG final round interview in a week. Any tips on what to expect in a partner level conversation?
- how is it different than the round 1 experience?
- how important is the casing component? I'm doing pretty well, but not perfect. Friends have been eating me 8/10, with the need to improve structure and be more top down in my communication. I'm wondering what I can do to improve that in a week and if that will be a deal breaker on interview day?

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.
