Hi all. Got 1 YOE at EYP doing mostly CDDs and strategy work. Prior to that came from uni with a MSc in mathematics, studied AI/ML as well. Is it too late for me to pivot to data scientist role or similar? Thinking about not been “in the game” for a year and perhaps not as attractive on the market as a recent graduate

Nah half of DS (not mle or researcher) I know were transitioned from other roles, you are fine

No, its just the beginning for you with 1 YOE. You can switch to DS role. I would begin with finding role possibility within same Account/Project.

Great advice, thanks a lot for the response.

You have studied ML/AI but do you have experience applying it? Either find a way to do that work in your current role or contribute to project or do a personal project. What sells at data science interviews is real world experience using data to solve a business problem.

Nope haven’t worked with AI/ML, went straight from school to EYP Strat. No real opportunities here to do this type of work so will have to do some stuff on my personal time. Thanks for the advice!

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 :)
