Back in my audit days, I was auditing an auto loan provider.

One account I was auditing was loan cancellations, there’s the loan was forgiven in the event of the death of a customer and the estate could not pay the loan and the sale of the asset didn’t fully cover it.

One of my selections was a man who self immolated in the car… had to get the death certificate and the police report lol. Was pretty brutal.

Also, had to do an inventory count at a biotech company that processed cadavers. Had to go and count dead bodies on new years morning

Def trafficking & embezzlement

A mainframe field that was too short and truncating really positive or really negative numbers. It was tracking securities collateral and the numbers got too big so it was lopping off significant digits. This obviously messed up all the risk calculations. Needless to say this was before the financial crisis and that bank is no longer with us…. They told me to replicate the bug in the new system because it kept failing parallel testing and the execs were breathing down their throat about the project being late and under budget. So the big stayed, the bank didn’t.

Quick survey: Do you guys think having a template package to envelope an ML model as an application would be helpful. The package could contain boiler plate template for unit test, docker image, CI/CD, database connectors etc and act as a starting point for doing that. Tech firms usually have that internally but limited options in open source.

Hi! Does anyone know what kind of knowledge is needed to crack the Data Scientist interview at Google?

I'm currently working in Marketing Analytics (primarily using SQL and a bit of pyspark). Apart from mastering SQL, I wanted to know from people working at Google what does it take to get there as a Data Scientist? (I'm very interested in Strategy Ops)

I plan to another 6-8 months in preparation and upskilling myself before I even apply.
Any help and guidance is appreciated! Thanks :)
