Have a phone interview coming up. What to expect? Recruiter told me it will be ML coding round. Anyone interviewed there recently? #interview #tech #stripe #swe
Btw OP, you should check out Yuan Mengâs blog. Itâs been really helpful for me while prepping for ML interviews.
Is it easier than general SWE interviews?
The LeetCode portions might be. As far as the ML portions, it depends on your background.
Howâd it go?
Op how was your interview?
I canât speak for Stripe, but most âML codingâ interviews involve implementing classic ML algos (KNN, linear regression, etc.) in numpy or modern model components (e.g. multi-head attention) in PyTorch. For a phone screen, the former is more likely.
Itâs wild if they ask you to code multi-head attention. Unless itâs just the mathematical formula softmaz(Q* Kâ * scalar)* V but whatâs the point of that?
