Hi all,

I'll be appearing for Fullstack data scientist position interviews for the first time. What should I expect in the interview questions? I know, DataStructures (DS) & Algo will be common, for Data science-specific rounds will they ask me to code ML models? Will there be any preference given for Python or R?

Please suggest

Thanks!

    I’m going to assume you mean full stack ML in the sense you will be building and deploying models. If not, hopefully this still helps you or someone else reading this thread.

    Depends on the company and what you’ll be really doing as “full stack”: it’s DS&Algo, ML 101, maybe MLOps questions, SQL questions, ML System Design (e.g. how would you design youtube recommender system? ; take-home or verbal walkthrough), experience/project walkthrough, behavioural+typical stuff

    From a friend who recently interviewed for ML Eng roles:

    And companies seemed to either go:
     FAANG Style ➡️ ML Tablestakes + Leetcode Technical + ML System Design + Experience Walkthrough
     Non-FAANG #1 ➡️ ML Tablestakes + ML System Design (Verbal/ Take Home Case/Both) + Experience Walkthrough + Behavioral Panel
     Non-FAANG #2 ➡️ ML System Design (Verbal) + Experience Walkthrough + Behavioral Panel

    *Note: I’m planning on interviewing for ML Eng roles in NYC soon if anybody has a hookup or willing to help me prep for interviews. I can build ML/DL models, deploy them on AWS/Azure/GCP, I’m quite up to date on full-stack ML and recently got a lot of love for an NLP project I recently completed. I’m wrapping up some projects/courses in the next ~3 months and then will start applying.

      That’s ML 101 questions like “what metric should we use here and why?” or “what could we do if we notice val error go up?”
