I had my onsite for Data Scientist, Product Analytics (IC5) earlier this week. I did really well on the product case questions and the behavioral questions. My SQL interview went well I think, but was hard to get signal from the interviewer. However, I really struggled with the stats half of the execution interview. Thoughts on my chances? #meta #datascience TC: $215k - YOE 6
YOE?

Wow really, DS is that competitive?
Nah I’ve done the meta ds loop before twice pre Covid. The time I got rejected it I thought I did well but the stats part was meh. Was a reject.
Hi @op can I please DM you? Looking to gain clarity on the process. I’m in prep mode currently.
Sure!
I had technical interview at Meta few months ago. Got product case question that I have already done few days before interview and 2 easy SQL questions. Did everything good, recruiter confirmed it at interview. I got rejection 1 hour later :) So did onsite interview with excellence is not enough in this market. It is a lottery.
Dang thats wild, sorry to hear that was your experience. I’ve had a whole business day in between so I am hopeful get lucky.
Can you tell me how I can prep for the interview?
Lots of good resources online. Google and you’ll find solid youtube channels. Also would recommend some mock interviews.
Any specific resources and where did you do mock interviews?
I feel you homie I interviewed at upstart, did well on all parts besides 1 stats question and got the fatty reject. Keep your head up
Hi there, same boat here. Did my onsite early last week but still haven’t heard of a decision yet. I think I kind of messed up in my SQL round :( I heard if you got positive results of three rounds and one negative round, you will be asked to do an additional round- at least better than a rejection, right? Wish us good luck and fingers crossed! 🤞
Good to know thanks for sharing! I have my fingers crossed for both of us! Good luck!
Dang i just realized you said early last week, that sucks they’ve kept you waiting almost 2 weeks. I hate the suspense so I am hopeful I have a response soon.
Mind if I dm OP ?
Sure!
Hope you get some good news, OP. Mind if I DM you? I'm also prepping for ds, product analytics interview in a few weeks. Been trying to break into ds for awhile and wanna make the most of this opportunity.
Sure!

What kind of stats questions did you get?
Basic probabilities pretty much, the hard part is decoding the question imo.
What do you mean? Could you share your qs
