Hi All, Just received a congratulatory email from Zillow that I got an offer for a Sr Data Scientist position in their mortgages data science team. How much TC can I expect? I’m assuming it’s p4 level. Any tips to negotiate from current employees would be great. Current TC 165 K in California YOE 5.5 I hold a masters degree as well. Thanks to Blind community for all the help! #zillowcareers #datascience#offer #jobs
You should confirm what level you are. There is a range for each level. Usually determined by your experience and how you did in the interviews. There’s base, equity and signing bonus.
Thanks. Zillow came back with the offer. It’s for senior data scientist Base is 185k Joining bonus 60k (35 y1, 25 y2) Equity 200k vested over 4 years Do u think this is reasonable for my experience? Is there a room to negotiate? I belong to the Bay Area. How common is yearly performance bonus (in terms of RSU) for the employees?
Looks ntb do they allow remote work ? Would be even better if they did
Your TC now is in the P3 range
Please see the response to your comment :)
Seems reasonable P4 salary in data science. DS got paid less than dev. Do you have offers from other companies to compete?
I’m still interviewing for other firms. No solid offer as of yet.
Try pushing other firms to facilitate the process and let them compete offers. If you don't have other offers there's not much room to negotiate
Congratulations, what was the interview like ?
Thanks. The interview was slightly tough I would say. The recruiter and the team made the process easy for me though. Hats off to Zillow for that. Coding in SQL, Python and or R. Had hands on coding sessions plus technical rounds where they asses your tech knowledge as well as business decision making. If you have experience, it should be easy for you. Feel free to DM me with more questions
Can you please share more on what kinda leetcode questions..medium/hard SQL and Py?Any design questions ? I am pursuing a DE role there.
How many days between application and when you heard from the recruiter?
Didn’t apply online. The recruiter has reached out and took forward the process. The recruiter was really responsive
Are you doing machine learning related prediction or recommender system in Zillow?
I am new in Data science technology and doing my masters currently. I am implementing an Attribution model using Markov Chain and Shapley values in my capstone. Prior work as Oracle dba for 3 years in India. When I apply for jobs, I am getting data engineer calls more than data scientist. Any suggestions please?
Isn’t Shapley computationally expensive ? Google has implemented that as a part of Google Analytics attribution suite. I may not be able to give you the exact details as it’s our IP but think of models that are easier to implement
Yup! Very computationally intensive. Not scaleable for real life MTA models
Sure. Let me do that and see what they say.
