Getting tired. What am I doing wrong.

Anyone who transitioned to Doordash, Instacart, Walmart, FAANG willing to take a look at my case analysis deck and provide feedback on what I am missing and what I should incorporate?

Law of averages. Hang in there mate, learn from every experience to make the next one better, ask for feedback after interviews if you can and keep at it with a positive mindset. You don’t even know what’s waiting for you, but something definitely is. Rejections are hard but being patient has its rewards.

-Are you using pivot tables/tableau/etc to slice and dice the data in different ways to gain insights?
-With those insights are you providing recommendations on what to do along with a plan to execute (Eg, run tests and learn xyz, then scale).

I did run a bunch of pivots and created dashboards which I then incorporated into a PowerPoint. Not sure what the issue honestly is.

Why would a case analysis deck have anything to do with it. People use take home assignments to filter out non target experience / roles / etc. I never even open the take home assignment of people I actually want. Same with door dash, I submitted a deck with a bunch of errors that was three slides and still moved on to the next round

It sucks but all it takes is 1

What roles are you applying to?

Yes on the above (source: work at doordash), try your best on the case, keep it simple and concise, but many other factors come into play on hiring decisions and not worth your time to go crazy on the take home
