Recently went through the first interview for the role. Moving on to the dataset stage. They said they’ll send me a dataset that I need to format, interpret and provide recommendations for. Wanted to see if anyone could provide any tips from DD?

It took me about 3-4 hours to do it. People on Glassdoor said it took them much longer but I really don’t know how it could take you longer than that if you have experience in data analysis and presenting findings. For what it’s worth I think the case roughly mirrors the problems you’ll be solving so consider it as practice for the role
It’s one interview (out of many) and they ask you about your analyses. Write down all of your assumptions in the deck. They may question some of your findings but it should be a conversation. Pretend you are speaking to your current manager
Honestly I was so annoyed I was being asked to do the case that I put a purposely mediocre effort into it and still easily got the job. You don’t need industry based knowledge going in, it’s simply looking at the inputs and questions and writing down the findings
