I’m surprised your masters program didn’t have extensive coverage of python. Seems like miss for an expensive degree…

I would come up with a problem you’re interested in and then practice with a few kaggle datasets. That’s a lot better than a course if you already have the book knowledge in it imho

One other thought - given Python is very broad you can/should reach out to the recruiter for more info on the test (eg is it to try to analyze a dataset (pandas + matplotlib) or just trying to solve some data analytics type problems (in which case leetcode would be your friend).

What’s the role and do they specify what they’re testing on? It would impact what resources I would recommend.

Coursera for me.

If the test is beginner level, Data camp is good for that

I’ve been seeing all of the Instagram and Linked In posts from agencies in town showing their “commitment to transparency in hiring” and to hire more minorities in light of the BLM movement. I knew the numbers were bad, but holy shit, not THAT bad.
It’s infuriating to me, as a POC how many fucking times I applied, emailed and reached out to so many of these agencies without getting even the time of day.
I’ll believe their supposed commitments, when I actually see the results.
