Currently i am working as a data scientist having an experience of 5 years all my friends who joined with me left organization ( they are working as Salesforce developer) but i am struggling to get an offer from good company as most of the positions i cleared interview are kept on hold (6 out 10) is this normal in machine learning/ Data science or only i am facing this ?

Goal is to end up in tech but am interviewing for a fortune 50 healthcare company for a data scientist role. Struck out on other interviews.

Would it be worth it to jump to this if I want to break into data science or should I stick it out in D&A consulting which really isn’t data science?

No idea on compensation other than that they are interviewing me with the tc range I requested. A FAANG is also interviewing me but not for a DS Role

Any advice on how to negotiate salary for my next role? I am currently at $120k TC as a data scientist at Accenture. I am interviewing at some startups now but I am not sure how I should approach salary negotiation. I have about 10 years of domain knowledge for this particular area. I have about 1.5 years of data science experience. What sort of compensation package should I aim for?

Hi! Does anyone know what kind of knowledge is needed to crack the Data Scientist interview at Google?

I'm currently working in Marketing Analytics (primarily using SQL and a bit of pyspark). Apart from mastering SQL, I wanted to know from people working at Google what does it take to get there as a Data Scientist? (I'm very interested in Strategy Ops)

I plan to another 6-8 months in preparation and upskilling myself before I even apply.
Any help and guidance is appreciated! Thanks :)

Help! Need some tips on negotiating. Step by step.

SC at Deloitte offered at AWS for L5 data scientist. Big raise to $240k TC. 3 YOE+MS. Word of mouth says that this is a good offer for my location (DC). I have a bunch of questions and I'm also looking for any tips for anything I'm missing.

-Even if it's a good offer, is there always $ on the table to ask for?
-I have a final interview elsewhere this Thursday. Should I start negotiating now or wait until I hear on the other option?

Anyone went through the Data Scientist interview process on Coinbase?

Hey I am interviewing for a Sr Data Scientist role at a growing ( well funded) pretty secure startup.
Interview process so far has been; recruiter interview, technical interview with scientist, interview with hiring manager; and then I was invited to their virtual on-site which included a “short” presentation ( up to a half hour!) and 5 more one-on-one interviews.
I wasn’t told anything specific about the one-on-ones - but they all ended up including technical whiteboard coding.
Is that normal?

Hey everyone, I have been trying to break into the data science world as a strategy consultant. Have put in numerous hours after work and on weekends to learn programming/ DS and algorithms, ML, and statistics. I now have a pretty good resume of personal projects, but am having trouble getting any interviews. Should I go get an MS or keep on trying to find a job as a data scientist? Thank you for the advice.

Anyone interview at Shopify for a data scientist role? Curious what kind of questions they ask during CoderPad session. Thanks!

Hi folks. I’m a data scientist at a T2/B4 firm that does fairly technical work. I am prepping for interviews to transition to SWE-data at a big tech company and currently have a little over 1 yoe.

Since prep usually takes a while for swe, I have not started seriously applying. However, I am likely to receive an offer for 110-120k at another consulting firm. I was hoping to get some thoughts from other technical folks that made the transition. More in comments
