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)

Any help and guidance is appreciated! Thanks :)

Can we do a quick round robin of salaries for folks in the Seattle area? Currently making $146K at Starbucks. 32 yo woman. Yes, I know the comparison game is unhealthy, but my hypothesis is I don’t make all that much compared to others which might justify why I am not motivated to work beyond 9-5pm. Former consultant here who took a pay cut so am looking to NOT grind.

Is it insulting to give a homeless person leftovers? I passed a homeless guy who asked for money, didn’t have cash on me so I offered my leftover pizza. He took it but people around me gave me looks. So wondering if it’s bad since it could be perceived as giving scraps?

Do you dry clean your clothes every week or just wash them at home?

Heard frm a friend at pwc that in consulting they have per diems. Is it for all practitioners and practice? Seems tight on budget.

How does your firm measure utilization? I work for a small boutique that defines it as utilization = number of billable hours/2,080 and full bonus payout occurs at 80% plus.

Top 10 books to read about consulting life ?

Why do some people get laid off and others not? Is it always utilization? Do people typically know they're at risk before it gets to that point?

New joiner. What should I get with my $250 wfh stipend? I already have standing desk, dual monitor, portable monitor, and good headset, not too sure what else I need, but it’s free money. Thanks.

My dad has been driving the same old CRV for the last 10 years. Has no interest in getting a new one. I want to buy him a new car, but he doesn’t seem interested in lux brands. Should I still do it?

I’m finding it so hard to be motivated at work. I think it’s a mix of wfh burnout, living at home and not socializing/doing anything new, scope creep on my project leading to long hours, and being intellectually bored. What keeps you in this job? What has motivated you to stay?

Sitting here in office and wondering , What can be plural of a computer mouse !

How do you get into your alignment of choice at consultant promotion? Also, how do you decide what that is?

So I’m in industry from big 4, and a colleague with same yoe comes from MBB. High paying tech firm. I think I work harder and produce quality content at speed, but they can hold executive conversations that tend to impress senior stakeholders.

Big 4 produces work horses and MBB produces leaders. Also they could be a work horse too since I don’t have full visibility.

Anyone have similar experiences or do I just suck at executive stakeholder management?
