The expectations are wildly different. Someone could spend like a few weeks doing an assignment and then someone else could literally just put in the allotted recommended time which is almost always like three hours right into the assignment. It's not an equal representation of work. If you're interviewing for a role and you totally, it's just going to bite you in the ass and you'll feel horribly awkward. So where do you start with telling someone to if you're coaching someone on prepping for do they well they show up and say I've got this interview coming up in a week what do I do or is it better to even start before that while they're actually applying for jobs?
So, you finally took that recruiter's call, and then you made it through the initial phone screen. You weren't really expecting that to happen, but now you're facing an actual interview! It sounds intense and, yet, you're not sure what to expect or how to prepare for it. Flash cards with statistical concepts? A crash course in Python? LinkedIn stalking of current employees of the company? Maybe. We asked Jay Feng from Interview Query to join us to discuss strategies and tactics for data scientists and analyst interviews, and we definitely wanted to hire him by the time we were done!
