Should you ever take yourself out of the running for a role because you no longer feel qualified? I’m currently interviewing for an industry role that was posted as a senior analyst but going through the interview process it seems like they need someone at a manager / director level. I keep getting scheduled for follow up interviews but I don’t feel like even if I end up getting the role I’d be very overwhelmed with the responsibilities.

The only reason to remove yourself from the process is because you no longer want the role. Any other reason is stupid.

They wouldn’t be interviewing you if they felt like you weren’t qualified. Have some healthy conversations that go both ways. Ask them what they are looking for and it doesn’t kill you to tell them what you don’t know if you feel so strongly about it.

My company went toxic in the last couple months. Chose me and started interviewing.

Meanwhile I just received a Director offer for a company with a 29% pay bump July 1. If Amazon or any other FAANG/large co gets back to me, is there an acceptable way to not burn bridges with new job and accept or delay start date with FAANG? Or fuck it just hop?

I have 5 YOE in Analytics... always thought I wanted to be a DS, but every job (even the junior ones) required experience in ML development. Though I am part of the ML project, I'm not the person develop the model. And I have a hard time when the interviewer ask about how I develop the model and what hyperparameters I tuned. I know the thought process and stuff but 'I' wasn't the one who did that part in the project. How to convince them that I could do the job without taking credit of others.
