Scrappiness is so true, that resilience plus a desire to learn and act are two things we are looking for. That desire to learn paired with a respectful attitude also makes new hires really teachable when conflicts or challenging situations arise and they can become great at navigating them

How long is too long when waiting to hear from HR? Got told by first round interviewer that I’d hear back in a week or check in (she told me after we interviewed; we talked over over coffee privately) and that Id move on to final round. I trust him as it was genuine but it’s almost been two weeks and still no word from hr or her after I emailed her to follow up. When to move on?

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.
