Hi fishes, I attempted an interview for software engineer post at Amdocs. I cleared the first round of interview and later contacted the recruiter for the same. The recruiter replied by saying they will let me know once panel will be available.
It’s been around 2 weeks I haven’t heard from the recruiter.
Can anyone guide me and help me with the same?
Amdocs
I'm looking to find a job like the Forward Deployed Engineer role Palantir Technologies in the UK.
I have become hooked on finding a job that involves solving the kinds of problems they presented during their interviews. Although I got to the final round my performance anxiety got the better of me (I think I wanted the job a bit too much...). I will reapply after working in a similar company.
Is it "deep tech" / "data science" or "smart enterprise" that they're doing? Any advice welcome.

Don’t think it’s about tutoring or creativity as much as it is practice. Download some math drill apps, do a bunch of practice peer cases and try things like rocketblocks. The math functions used themselves are simple, it’s about that combined with case comfort and being pragmatic on approach.
Just to clarify the big four are McKinsey, Bain, BCG and Deloitte
…McK isn’t Big4, just to clarify that. In my experience the math portion of these interviews is more about the way you get to the answer. That said, practice addition/subtraction/multiplication/division - you’ll be surprised how quickly those skills do come back. The math isn’t more complicated than that.
Pro
It’s really about your problem solving thought process and confidence but you should be comfortable with basic math. Start practicing cases now and don’t doubt yourself, you’ll be fine - we have excel for math and formulas.

I don’t think it is. I guess it depends what job. In the interview, if they ask “how much would you charge to clean all the windows in New York”, you wouldn’t try to multiple buildings times floors times blocks….you’d say “$10 per window”
Cheers to all of you who replied. Super helpful.
I knew I wouldn’t do very well at any quick math. I have a PhD in life science so I would assume the expectation was that I’d be good at it. I learned what tricks I could but when it came down to it in the interview, I got most of my calculations wrong. But importantly, I aced the stuff I AM good at and took their corrections/redirections on math positively and collaboratively. They (we) want to see how you work as a teammate more than they want you to be a calculator. Good luck!
