Hey guys. So I was fired from failing to pass this PIP process a while ago and been applying to other places for months to no avail. I was formally a senior associate yet have a harder time finding another job compared to when I was just an associate. Is this normal? I know my resume is good but I always get the follow up response "we found other candidates that are more qualified for the role". My lease ends soon and need to find a new job before I can think of finding a new place to live.

The job market is difficult right now as it’s more of an “employer’s market” - meaning that they want to acquire a talent that has EXACTLY the skills that they need, making it super competitive. I’d suggest developing a relationship with any recruiters available like I have to try to land more interviews.

Exactly - Networking is also great for doing temp checks for any agency or role that you are interested in/interviewing for as well. For example, whenever I interview (and especially during the phone screening) I like to establish a connection with the recruiter so that I can have them help me look and consider me for other roles within the company, as well as connecting with others on LinkedIn to gauge the company culture and their experiences as black men/women actually working there.

Hey, I am appearing for a pre-sales engineer interview.

I have a liberty to choose any data science related product. I am essentially confused as to what product to choose, and how to structure the presentation. I would highly appreciate tips and suggestions. Thanks

I have 5 YOE in Analytics... always thought I wanted to be a DS, but every job (even the junior ones) required experience in ML development. Though I am part of the ML project, I'm not the person develop the model. And I have a hard time when the interviewer ask about how I develop the model and what hyperparameters I tuned. I know the thought process and stuff but 'I' wasn't the one who did that part in the project. How to convince them that I could do the job without taking credit of others.
