What commenters say

  • Data science and ML interviews can be tough due to the difficulty in preparing for everything and covering all the theory.
  • Some interview questions, such as trick SQL questions or implementing binary search, may not be relevant to real-world data science work.
  • The term 'data science' has expanded to mean different things and now encompasses a range of job profiles.
  • Binary search is a surprisingly tricky problem that can be used to test a candidate's programming skills, but may not be the best indicator of their abilities.
  • The use of certain interview questions, such as FizzBuzz, can be effective in weeding out unqualified candidates without punishing those who have non-traditional backgrounds.
  • Title inflation has led to the term 'data science' being applied to a wider range of roles, including those that were previously considered analyst positions.
  • The book 'Deep Learning Interviews' is a valuable resource for those preparing for interviews, but may benefit from additional sections on topics such as reinforcement learning.
  • The interview process for data science and ML positions can be challenging and may require candidates to have a strong foundation in theory as well as practical skills.
