Is it normal to feel like you messed up after a data science interview?

I was able to answer the questions but for the product case, I don't think I was deep enough

I expect not to get it anyway

This can depend on your level of experience, the questions asked, and your overall sense of imposter syndrome (which in DS, is HUGE, especially in minority communities, so if this applies to you, you'll be ok, promise.)

I have been on the receiving end of a LOT of bad interviews:

- times where the interviewer is clearly trying to knowledge flex
- times where the interviewer rudely interrupts me in process
- times where the interviewer arrives very unprepared
- times where the interviewer asks esoteric questions that are applicable to their specific research field
- times where I was told my own research was wrong (lol)

The other side of the conversation here is your own preparation. That comes with time, experience, and some studying. In the past, I spent considerable outside work time studying, reading, playing with code, ect.

Pretty normal to wonder about how your evaluations went, yup. Been a few days, but hope you still get the offer!

What’s the best way to turn down a 2nd interview? During the 1st interview, I learned that the compensation for the role is not within the range that I am looking for and requires 400 more billable hours a year than what I bill now. I’d basically be laterally for my current salary just to bill 400 more hours. I also wasn’t aware that the local office was strictly ID. Firm website advertises lots of practice areas. Any advice? TIA!

Hello!

I finished my final round(s) for a TAM position at 
Google (GCP) last week and was told by my recruiter that my feedback was great and that I made a solid impression on the team and am "firmly in the running". I was supposed to hear back this week (according to the recruiter) but he just told me that it's still in the process and that I'll have to wait for another week or so.

Is this common at Google ? I have heard they are notorious for being really slow with their hiring process.
