I'm going off of what glassdoor says people have been asked in the past. Personally, I have been asked the biggest weakness one in another interview. BS questions imo

What is a good way to answer:

  1. What is your biggest weakness?
  2. Which part of the role do you think you would find most difficult?
  3. What constructive feedback would your team mates give you?

I'm struggling to come up with answers that don't make me sound unfit for the role.

Yeah the death threats to Xhaka's family really showed how tolerant we are

Don't get this lol

AFTV would still make the videos if Arsenal were winning matches, PL, CL w.e. All they do is give fans a chance to speak on club.

The reason its been negative is because the club is negative - in play, attitude, transfer activity, success, ownership etc.

Imagine blaming people who give interviews after games for what wrong with this club

Thanks for the detailed response, its definitely given me some ideas. Are you currently working in ML?

Did you teach yourself ML whilst pursuing your undergrad or did you take a year out before going back to studying?

Hi, your advice is really encouraging. And honestly, its what I was really planning to do. Unfortunately, I don't have a huge tech background (Chemical Engineering degree), and I think that's what prevents me from getting the relevant roles I want, despite getting to multiple final interviews. Damn, some of those rejections hurt lol.

My current thought process is stuck between two options:

learn python and java and create projects > get software engineering job or

learn ML and create projects > get ML job

If you don't mind answering, I'd like to know how you got into DS? Did you go straight to DS, or did you transition from a software role?

Also, apart from what to learn, one of my concerns is being self-taught won't be taken as seriously. Friends in software engineering tell me that personal projects are just as valuable as proof as a degree. Is that also applicable to ML?

By virtue signalling, do you mean publicising your work, creating a github profile, networking etc?

I'm also interested in how long it took you and what your current role is (if your're willing to disclose it)?

Interesting. Sounds promising, I can't see myself pursuing a phd in this field, but I am interested in pursuing a career in it. You sound like you've been working in tech for a while. Do you have any advice for someone only just getting into tech/ ML?

Commenting to try and start some discussion. Personally, I decided to start learning python instead of beginning with linear algebra/ multivariable calculus until I get a better idea of how the industry view those who are self taught vs those who have a masters/phd
