I passed Facebook’s initial 45mins Data Scientist interview!

Apparently I have 4 more back to back 30 minute interviews and I’m freaking out. Please share any tips and some energy to help me get through this!

@All, I watched many YouTube videos to prepare (including mock interviews). I also read the portion about Facebook in the How To Crack the PM interview book. In addition, I practiced ALOT of leet code the week before (coding problem was not too difficult just merging tables and calculating a metric).

The product questions were about how to improve a specific product, what metric(s) I would use, and finally how to analyze a decline in a metric.

I interviewed with Facebook some time ago. I’m curious how did you approach the declining metric question?

Also, for the Muslim fam, I made tons of duaa!

That’s great! Congratulations! Don’t have specific tips for the next round. My initial interview is in 2 weeks. If you had a product interview, I’d love to hear how you went about prepping for it. Best of luck for the next one! You got this!

Congratulations!! How would you say you prepared?

Okay lo

The recruiter will give you a link with details on each interview type and also there's official mock videos you can watch. I would say they pretty much go the way the mock interviews suggest so expect that pace and type of questions. All the best!

Hi everyone, I’ve been trying to land my first product design role and I can’t seem to get my foot in the door. I’ve asked mentors from ADPlist to review my LinkedIn and resume as well as my portfolio and I haven’t had any luck. I graduated from uni in 2020, was bedridden for a whole year which led me to fall behind and I’m embarrassed that I can’t seem to get a job after months of actively trying - I desperately need help as I’m on a Visa that requires me to be employed.
Any advice?
