Hi all, I am expecting a senior data scientist interview from Facebook soon and heard the stats and probability part is rather challenging, can someone help me understand what kind of challenge I am expected to face? Any suggestion welcome

you can ask your recruiter for more details
usually it's things like conditional probability, bayes theorem, hypothesis testing (linear regression context)

  You’re applying for a Senior DS position and you’re worried about explaining a p-value?

Senior (if by that you mean IC5+) DS loops at FB don't include the prob/stats section, only junior ones do. Confirm with your recruiter what level you're interviewing at and what will be in the loop.

  This! If you do the book hard for you to not crack the non coding part of the interview

Can you share your interview experience?

  General questions about background. Then market place question. A lot questions about interference. Nothing special. Didn’t take the offer because my current TC is higher and didn’t like the people.
