Hey folks, I have an interview coming up with VMware for a senior data analyst role. Any pointers or suggestions for the interview? really appreciate any feedback here. technical and non texhnical.
What group? If sales- anything lattice, sfdc, and Tableau are all a huge plus... and the ability to explain why you chose a particular model or assumption in a way that Sale people easily get it. You need mad actual skills with analytics and SQL as well, but the ability to explain it is priceless. If it's for R&D, less sfdc, more about Cost Benefit analysis.... especially if you can explain to engineers why it's ok to prioritize a $5 widget that will sell 45 million times over the one fancy widget for $5 Million dollars that will sell twice.
It’s for the business operations team. How technical will be interviews be? From the feedback looks like it would be more focused on the implementation, identifying KPI’s, customer segmentation/retention predictability. Do you think I am headed in the right direction in preparing for the above?
And thanks a ton for the feedback. Really appreciate it.
How technical it is depends entirely on who makes up the interview panel. Usually at least one person knows the tools and technical, and the rest focus on the implementation and asking what's the difference between a leading and lagging kpi and when do you use each.
