How are the data science teams at Snap? What do data scientists at Snap work on? Are they paid on par with SWEs?
Data scientist at Snap = SQL monkey big time. If that's what you want go for it...
110-130K base (not sure how much stock) is what I've heard, but it may depend on your experience. From my brief encounters the data science teams are spread throughout the company. What you work on would vary greatly depending on each role.
It's not just 100-130 across the board. It depends on level, which goes 1-10. I believe the range described is on par with Level 1 SWE.
6 months ago i got a ds offer from snap but didn't join. The team that made me offer said they do Machine Learning and the interview was coding+ machine learning. They didn't ask me a single sql question and the offer was identical to SE positions
Could you share more details about the overall interview process? What kind of coding/ml questions can one expect? If you don't mind sharing, why did you not accept the offer?
I signed nda so can't really share much, but expect regular coding questions and in depth conversations about different ml algorithms. I got offer from fb and preferred fb location and product over snap RSU.
I am very interested as well..
