In the last 6 months I have failed 2 Amazon Research Scientist interviews and a FB Data Scientist interview. I am trying to jump ship from public health to tech and am failing. The Amazon recruiter told me I scored highly on their leadership principles and should apply again. Not sure what to do. I feel like a failure. Public health pays very little and I have to work really hard to create ds work! #datascience #career #facebook
do you have relevant experience? did you leetcode. someone i know (not friend) moved from Genentech to Facebook so i guess should be doable. what is your profile like?
Yes, I did bit of leetcode and hackerrank for SQL but got too nervous in the interview and messed it up with FB. I work as data scientist in public health where the scale of data and problems is no where close to tech - and that was the issue in Amazon interviews. Not sure how to get that experience - thinking of getting on Kaggle to get more ds projects on resume.
is general Dynamics a healthcare provider? let me reach out to that person to see if she can help you in any way. she did but do kaggle but definitely had strong experience in cloud computing, might have helped? also, she had referral. did you directly approach the recruiter it through referral?
Dude, that's nothing. You should keep interviewing....
Keep trying, you will crack it !
The fact that you already interviewed twice at Amazon and the still encourage you to keep trying there is a veeeeery good sign.
Why are you failing? I think you know the answer already. Don’t give up, like the Amazon recruiter implies, you’re almost there. No matter what people say, you’re not a failure. Nah jk tc or gtfo lmao
