If you had to summarize into three points?
- minimaxir 9y agoI have one notable observation: On Hacker News, every time an interview thread pops up, there is a discussion decrying the use of technical screenings before an onsite, and often suggest practical work experience instead using a homework assignment (which this article does not discuss). Most of the companies I've talked with for data analyst/science roles have given me both a homework assignment and a technical screen before the onsite. And often a prescreen test before both of them. There have been a number of occasions where I easily passed the homework screen but failed the technical screen (without any feedback as to why). And it's beginning to get annoying.
- FlyingLawnmower 9y agoDid you find another job yet? If not, what type of opportunity are you looking for? Data science is also a wide, somewhat poorly defined domain.
- minimaxir 9y agoStill looking. Mostly for any role with a data analyst/data scientist title (i.e. I am not applying for the machine learning/NLP roles which require a PhD and the authorship of several papers since there is no point).
