I had applied for the senior level DS or ML engineer positions at several companies. I had 4 straight rejections from onsite interviews.

I felt that I did not make big mistakes but I was not able to convince that I am good enough for the positions. DS level codings are pretty okay for me but I felt my weak points are ML case study. One of the feedbacks is that my case study solution is lack of technical depth. I am pretty okay with the general idea about ML but not sure at which point I can show my competitive edge to interviewers. I still have several more onsite interviews but I think that I would get the same results if I do not update/change my strategy. Any suggestions are welcome.

    You should try brushing up some ML foundations imo.
    Michelangelo has a lot of good materials to learn from for ML system design. Not quite frontier but good place to start anyway.

      I don’t think op is referring to system design. I think they are referring to ML design where interviewers are ask you to design ML systems end-to-end. e.g design ML system behind fb news feed etc.

    I’m in a similar boat with system design. Coding rounds are mostly fine but when it comes to system design in embedded side they seem to feel that I lack technical depth.

  • Case study they gave you during interview or these homework type thing? Can you give an example?
