In my hiring experience as an interviewer, 90% of candidates with PhD or not will actually have mediocre grasp on ML. It is a rare happy day when I get a good candidate. We interview for months for one hire. I got to interview candidates worldwide so I've seen people from many countries.
- nl 4y agoWas this hiring for ML positions? As someone who hired for this in general we'd use PhD (or maybe a Masters degree) as a filter by HR before I even saw them. It's true that a PhD doesn't guarantee anything though. I once interviewed a candidate with 2 PhDs who couldn't explain the difference between regression and classification (which was sort of our "ok lets calm your nerves" question).
