How to get job as a Data Scientist in FAANG

Sep 16, 2020 5 Comments

Hi All,
I am a Data Analyst with 5 years of experience in Statistics, ML & AI and working in majorly in SQL, R and Python.
I want to know in which area should I focus more so that I can get a job in FAANG as a Data Scientist.
Based on online articles I find out that to be a Data Scientist in top organisation I need to focus on Data Structure & Algorithms and start practicing on Leetcode and hackerrank, but I want to know more about it and the process that I need to follow.
Also, as I am not from a software background I have never learn DS & Algo.

Thanks in advance.#dataanalytics #datascience #ai #faang #google #facebook #netflix #dataanalytics

    Fyi, facebook, google, apple are not the highest paying places for data scientists. You should also consider Airbnb, Uber, Lyft, Stitch Fix, Pinterest, Square which can pay higher.

    But otherwise, yes, you will need to be solid on coding. The other competency I see for DS on top of analyst is model building and optimization. I remember Google DS was really focused on statistics, various companies tend to have their own focus for DS (and this can vary even more by team obviously).
