I took a non-traditional route to become a data scientist at a Canadian bank. I’d ideally like to move to the US to work as a data scientist in the tech space. What kinds of skills do I need highlight and sharpen to ace interviews? Where can I access these resources?

There's a ton of things you could do from working with a career coach, having your resume reviewed by a professional and keeping up to date with industry standards

I agree with the above but also I would look at job descriptions/postings from time to time to understand what skills you should be developing. And of course, keep applying to roles. you never know which one will pan out!

Hey fishes, completed 3 tech rounds at Bosch.
Last tech + managerial round was on 10th Nov. Got HR call on 17th Nov. Told my expected package and she didn't seem to have any issue. On 22nd Nov, got a call from the consultant at taggd who has been arranging all my interviews. Told my expected CTC and she seemed a bit surprised but didn't negotiate and asked if I have any other offers? I asked when can I expected the OL, she said within a week but didn't take any documents. Can I expect the OL?
