what did I miss

16:39
sorry just log in

19:54
Is it a good idea to demo the projects built in hackathons(hackathon achievements ) during interviews?

25:16
Do you recommend trying DS interviews right away and then going to “stepping stone” jobs after some failures or going right in to “stepping stone” jobs? Does it depend your background?

26:03
Great question Ryan - look’s like someone read the Break into Data Science guide and learned about stepping stone jobs (https://www.nicksingh.com/posts/break-into-data-science-the-definitive-guide)

26:10
Will answer soon :)

26:12
Could you breakdown the data science interview with percentages(math, statistics, programming,ML, SQL)

26:42
What do you think about DataCamp? It introduces you to the required concepts but there’s a lot of filling in the blanks which is not very helpful as you are developing the scripts to do particular data science tasks

27:24
What sort of companies are more likely to have generalist data science positions?

28:05

38:53
How would you assess your performance on product-related or behavioral interview questions where the general contours of a "correct" answer without interviewer feedback?

39:36
*where the general contours of a "correct" answer are very dependent on the particular interviewer

40:39

50:16
Is the book ACE THE DATA SCIENCE INTERVIEW available?

50:44
not yet; to get sneak previews sending it out via my email newsletter (http://eepurl.com/gaSjD5)

50:50
How are you able to find job postings that are looking for entry level data scientist positions? It seems like a lot of the data scientist positions are looking for at least 2+ years of experience.

51:07
as well as the new insta https://www.instagram.com/acedatascienceinterviews/ to get book previews and practice some problems

52:49
Agree with Elizabeth’s question!

53:23
^ Same
