Interviewing for a Data Scientist role at Visa. I have a hackerrank test followed by a technical interview. Anyone has been through it and has any advice on what to expect?
From amazon to visa ? Are you doin ok ?
People always move from one company to other. If visa can pay competitive to op, then why not?
I'm stuck in a shitty team doing BI work at Amazon and want to move towards a Data Scientist role.
Unless you are interviewing for Visa Research I wouldnt recommend you coming to Visa. Even Visa research will not give you enough TC if you compare with Amazon
I would add that even if it is Visa Research, there are tons of better opportunities outside Visa 😅
My TC is 123k as a BIE right now in Seattle and I'm in a team that won't let me transition out to a DS role. Guessing a DS role at Visa isn't so bad in a situation like that? Keeping my options open to better offers for sure but this still feels like a better option to me than staying where I am. Open to hearing why would you think otherwise.
At this TC, Visa will be able to match and go above for DS role. But Amazon to Visa is like low- ballling yourself. You may find things very slow moving here with not much growth opportunities. In your situation I would interview for Visa but look for better options as well. If you do end up coming to Visa, keep a 2 year or less limit on yourself. Take the title tag and move on. Honestly Visa is a good place to work if your focus is work life balance and the company has great benefits, the best 401k plan. Not much learning. though Visa has a good yearly budget to support your online learning, so you can take those in your spare time and get it paid by Visa 😄
Can you please share something about your hackerrank test? What was there in the test? Was it just DS Algo or SQL as well?
Are u sure you want to apply to Visa?
Hahaha...but on a serious note @backburner one of the advantages of Blind is that you get to see what insiders of a company think about it. Visa's review score is one of the lowest on the platform so why would you apply here?
Let’s say this, if you’re applying for tech roles then I wouldn’t recommend applying to Visa. If you’re in non tech, then Visa is still somewhat competitive. DS is part of business functions- VCA so the pay may be competitive, but I’m not sure if it’ll be competitive enough coming from Amazon. What TC are you expecting?
