Yea you should do it for practice. DS interviews vary so much, some just ask SQL, some ask theoretical ML, some ask hardcore stats and some ask leetcode style algo questions.

But I could really use the technical interview practice

I’d do it for practice. Data scientist interviews can be very wide and it’s great to train (hah) on different interviews so you’ll be robust for a data scientist role you really want

Hello,

Currently, in accenture. I have had very bad billable hours and not much achievement this fiscal year. I am worried of getting fired, so i applied for another job. Got offered may be 5% above my current pay with 5k bonus, but in lower level at Deloitte. I think working lower level will give me more opportunities to learn as i think i have lot to learn. I made decision based on my gut and accepted the offer. I have not talked to anyone on accenture side yet. What you think?

M/SM and above, why do you label a meeting as “touch point” or ask if you can have a “quick chat” when it’s something serious? Millennials like us always assume we’re about to get fired - I actually have been laid off in a meeting with that title. But at my new job, my boss asked for a “quick chat” to literally ask me to change the title of a meeting and then chat about christmas. Now that I’m in management, I want to understand it better.
