I Worked Through 500+ Data Science Interview Questions
Here’s what I learned along the way
Thanks to a group of dedicated data science boot camp grads, Zoom, and the World Wide Web, I have listened to and answered too many data science interview practice questions to count. These past months of practice have taught me a lot, not only about data science, but also about self-confidence, hard work, and the power of building relationships via networking.
I’ll start with the data science stuff because this is a data science blog and that’s what you all are likely here for.
I’ll take “What is Data Science?” for 200, please.
While going through a data science bootcamp, I felt like I was grasping most of the topics pretty well. But, when answering conceptual questions about key topics and models, I realized that some of my knowledge was shallow.
Answering conceptual questions on the spot in front of knowledgable colleagues was incredibly valuable. I knew (from college) that studying with others is a good idea because it is easy to convince yourself you know the topics when you are on your own, but answering questions from friends will test and solidify your knowledge.
