Which is harder, SWE or PM interviews?
I interviewed for Apple's ML position twice and almost everytime they asked me how will I build a new LLM evaluation metric or explain the whole transformer paper and code K-means. I indeed answered everything as I worked on these things. Still I get rejected based on " decided to move forward with other candidates". this is extremely difficult to cope up. I don't understand what I am doing wrong. please advice me and help me! TC: 285k @Apple #apple #tech #interview #hiring
Tc?

You aren't doing anything wrong. It's critically important you understand that this process has a huge number of uncontrollable inputs. It is 100% false that if you answer everything correctly, that you're getting an offer. Doesn't work like that. Think of it more like blackjack. With basic or advanced strategy you can increase your chances of winning. BUT. You can play your cards perfectly and still lose. You can get lucky and win with a crappy hand. Most of the hiring decisions I made over 26 yrs in tech didn't require someone who did perfectly on the technical portion. I wanted someone technical enough, that others wanted to work with, who were memorable, and brought something new to the team that helped cover a few of our gaps. Don't treat it like a test. It's more about being competent , then being memorable, and describing what kind of environment you thrive in. I've helped 50 people land jobs in the past year, so I have a lot of recent and relevant data to draw from for this topic.
Do you think Apple AI is better than Amazon's? The reason why Apple stock is dropping more than Amazon is that their AI tech is the wost among FAANG.
I had the same experience..gave one my best interviews and received similar response..seems like they are filling up internal candidates
Apple’s recruitment process is not the most streamlined. Recruiters drop the ball, many a times fail to get back to you or schedule interviews very late by which time team has finished hiring (has happened to me twice with Apple). And finally too many variables when it comes to an interview. And possible the team might be looking for something very specific. Don’t worry and take it personally. Move on to the next one. There are plenty of other companies and you’ll find a good fit for your background.
