I’m not in data science, but my question is what CS fundamentals like that have to do with DS. I thought it would have to do with data cleansing/storage/access etc, statistics/ML, and then the stuff relevant specifically related to computing statistical or “machine learning” stuff (optimization, how do you get a gradient, basic numerical stuff). And then maybe stuff like parallelization at large scale. And then just knowing how to use your libraries of choice
- dataguy12 7y agoThis is a great question! This again, depends on the company and even team you are interviewing. Some data scientists are asked to answer questions about linked lists because the team might need you to not only research models but also implement them. Some data scientists take on more of a data engineering role, others data analysts and research scientist. It really depends what the company wants. The beginning of the post discusses various companies and what they might expect based on both personal experience and glass door.
