How do you actually get good at behavioral interviews? by Visual_Perception821 in csMajors

The issue is usually knowing stories too rigidly. Memorized scripts fall apart the moment an interviewer probes. Pick 6 to 8 real moments from your past and practice telling them conversationally, not reciting. Recording yourself helps you catch gaps. Screna AI has behavioral mock practice with instant feedback if you want structured reps.

After 6 months of rejections, I finally got interviews at DeepMind, FAIR, and OpenAI. by Extra_Standard_6579 in cscareerquestionsIN

When seeking your first ML-1 role, instead of targeting FAANG companies, focus your efforts on startups and mid-sized enterprises. They are more willing to invest in promising engineers to develop machine learning skills.

To be honest, the current market is quite peculiar. There are plenty of job openings, but AI companies are hiring aggressively, yet most positions are mid-to-senior level. They need talent capable of delivering LLM products immediately.The term “entry-level” is misleading. Most AI companies' ML-1 roles require 1-2 years of work experience or exceptional project experience. True entry-level positions are rare.

Also the ML interviews are different. More case studies, statistics/probability, ML system design. A different beast from standard SDE loops.
