What's the difference between different data science teams at facebook? A recruiter reached out and said the group they were hiring for is different than core data science.
Growth and analytics. Would different teams have different job ladders?
Last time I interviewed at Facebook last interview was with an Ukrainian economist I could barely understand who was totally rude and a real bitch. Hope you don't end up being interviewed by her. The rest of the team was solid, but I turned down the offer. Was totally turned off by the experience with the interviewer.
Are you a data scientist at Google!? I feel it'd be a downgrade to go to FB. Data scientists there are more like business analysts in my opinion.
What is your position at google ? Quantitive analyst ?
Looks like they pay data scientists well but the position is closer to a business analyst apparently
They aren't paid as much as engineers.
I'm not on the QA ladder, but I do a lot of modeling. The QA ladder is a pretty small and selective group. The recruiter pretty much told me not to try since I'm not a PhD.
Fb data scientists - analytics (at least the 2 that I know of...not part of core data science teams) are glorified business analysts...barely data analysts. Gotta be good at SQL and think about product like a PM. Won't even test you on the math behind frequentist A/B testing as long as you give a passable definition of a "p value". Not even tested on coding ability beyond SQL. Not tested on linear Algebra, math behind common ml algos.
Although I'll admit they have potential and should be put on a path to master the basics.
True but I have seen some really smart people in DS analytics. Have been impressed with them more than eng.
Facebook data scientists are idiots that’s what they are
