Reasonable education/prep for data interviews by title

Shorthand:
MOOC online classes, LC leetcode, DS data science, ML machine learning
-------

BI = DS MOOCs, sometimes LC ez-med

data eng = big data MOOCs, LC ez-med

ML eng = ML/DS MOOCs, LC med-hard

data analyst/DS = mathy undergrad, ML/DS MOOCs

AS/DS = hybrid MS, mathy MS + ML/DS MOOCs, any PhD + ML/DS MOOCs, LC ez-med

research scientist = ML PhD

-------

Just as the avg family doesn't actually have 2.5 children, these are generalized.

Definitely a good list for people very early into their DS/DE career. However, once you are few years into the job, you would be very comfortable answering most of the questions on the fly. It makes much more sense for interviews of experienced candidates on lines of how to approach abstract problems and architect the solution practically.
