Interview Preparation Tips

Interview preparation tips for other job seekers - When considering a role in data science, especially within a large organization like a bank, it's crucial to evaluate the nature of the work the team is doing. Many teams may be labeled as "data science," but not all of them are involved in the core technical aspects of the field. Some teams may focus primarily on analysis and reporting, which, while important, can be less engaging for those passionate about the more challenging and innovative elements of data science, such as machine learning, predictive modeling, or big data processing. To avoid finding yourself in a role that doesn’t align with your interests, ensure that the team you’re applying to is genuinely engaged in data science projects that go beyond basic reporting and involve deep technical work. This way, you'll be working on exciting, cutting-edge problems rather than routine tasks.
