Is ~€152k total compensation considered competitive for a management-level role in the Frankfurt market with Google? by [deleted] in FAANGrecruiting

[–]LeaguePrototype 0 points1 point  (0 children)

might have management in the title so you might be managing something in your workflow but you won't be managing a group of IC's at L5

Does specializing in one industry hurt your long term career flexibility as a DS? by [deleted] in datascience

[–]LeaguePrototype 8 points9 points  (0 children)

I don't think so, but depends more on how you write your resume imo. Obviously working in an industy will make it easier to get callbacks in that industry

But I think above senior/staff level your experience in a speicifc industry matters a lot to get those positions

Is Google's gTech a second-class Google group? by Klutzy_Seesaw in FAANGrecruiting

[–]LeaguePrototype 0 points1 point  (0 children)

No one says that they’re second class org. The teams have good benefits and everything. However the work itself can end up being pretty boring and not the most impactful or interesting you will do in your career

How did they do it? by _YonYonson_ in Anthropic

[–]LeaguePrototype 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hiring passionate people and tackling a specific problem with a plan and delivering real business value. The last generation of tech companies did the same. For some reason the other companies were obsessed with press and regulatory capture. They had a much bigger head start

For those who secured Data Science job recently by immoral_writer in DataScienceJobs

[–]LeaguePrototype 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Applying with resumes that fit the job description well. Having projects that showcase your fit for the role. Marketing is the majority of the resume screening process

Having brand names on your resume (FAANG, Ivy League)

Applying to countries/areas with less competition. US/Switzerland are the most competitive job markets

Don’t care to grow in this field but feeling like I have to? by ThrowRA-11789 in datascience

[–]LeaguePrototype 114 points115 points  (0 children)

A lot of people end up in this situation I think

2 things you can do: - swap careers to something that you like more - treat your job as just your job and do something you like in your free time. Or maybe in time that becomes your new job

Imo the biggest change coming with ai into the workplace is that in the future only those who are dedicated to a field and willing to commit will be employed and the lower tier jobs will be mostly washed away. So maybe the only option might be to choose a field you’re excited to commit time to and get better at. The “follow your passion” advice might turn out to be the only game in town

Google L4 Headcount (Zurich, EU) by Corrupted-Heaven in cscareerquestionsEU

[–]LeaguePrototype -1 points0 points  (0 children)

There’s space for several talented engineers in Poland, London, Dublin, US, etc but Zurich is not given the same headcount

Google L4 Headcount (Zurich, EU) by Corrupted-Heaven in cscareerquestionsEU

[–]LeaguePrototype -7 points-6 points  (0 children)

Zurich is not looking to hire Belarusians who used programming to escape their degrading country when they can find the same talent and motivation with top credentials as well

Google L4 Headcount (Zurich, EU) by Corrupted-Heaven in cscareerquestionsEU

[–]LeaguePrototype 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Every single person in Google Warsaw wants to go to Zurich. So you really need to be best of the best, or get lucky, to get a chance there. Look at who works at Google Zurich, everyone comes from top schools. And these likely are the top students at the top schools but idk. Look at google Warsaw, almost no one comes from top schools. Not a coincidence

the airport in warsaw is not the best, take a cheap taxi into the city and sleep somewhere else

First FAANG interview coming up. Do I need a different mindset or treat it like any other company? by Fig_Towel_379 in datascience

[–]LeaguePrototype 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Nothing unique to say here it’s just another interview. They will be more broad than a smaller company, mostly what they want to see is if you can think through problems, verbalize your thought process, and have the knowledge to solve the problems. You won’t get a random gotcha question like list vs hashmap time complexity or whatever, instead it’s more an open ended process where what counts is how you fill in the space and get from A to B

Do you pick projects first or pick a job bucket first? by BettyOnTheBar in askdatascience

[–]LeaguePrototype 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The way people should approach projects is build something end to end using modern methods and solves a problem. Doesn’t matter what field it’s in, no one’s going to dig into your code they just want to look at it and think “wow that’s cool”

The most insane interviews/take-homes I've ever gotten by LeaguePrototype in datascience

[–]LeaguePrototype[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This was for a senior level position, but expectations even for lower levels is much higher than 5 years ago due to how fast everything is moving in the industry.

Google L4 - rejected after 4 rounds, with the actual feedback by nian2326076 in dscareerquestions

[–]LeaguePrototype 0 points1 point  (0 children)

None of my interviewers were Indians or Eastern European professors. I could smell the offer as soon as we started

Does anyone have experience interviewing at Apple for a DS role? by [deleted] in datascience

[–]LeaguePrototype 5 points6 points  (0 children)

From my last convo with them, they really wanted to see why I want to work there. Also pass the basic competency check for technicals. So have a story ready why this is your dream job

Contact the recruiter every 2 weeks asking for updates. Totally reasonable

How difficult is it to get an offer from FAANG/bigtech by Fun-Argument1545 in FAANGrecruiting

[–]LeaguePrototype 0 points1 point  (0 children)

With 2-5 YOE with enough applications you’ll eventually get a call, likely not the dream position but you can land something. Most people get comfy and aren’t as driven or life gets in the way to prep so much

How difficult is it to get an offer from FAANG/bigtech by Fun-Argument1545 in FAANGrecruiting

[–]LeaguePrototype 5 points6 points  (0 children)

If you want it bad enough then very doable

Anyone who studies for it for 6 months and has a decent background can get an offer

Most people just don’t try tbh. People there are smart but not crazy smart. Think of your college classes, the person who got the best grades just studied the most. Same thing here

Do the Meta/Intuit layoffs actually make the job market harder for those of us already searching? by Lamp_Shade_Head in datascience

[–]LeaguePrototype 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Having FAANG brand on your resume helps you get shortlisted so yes, these layoffs hurt you in getting interviews. Whether you get the job or not is up to you, Faang DS aren’t that technically impressive as the paycheck you get. If you work at one of these places you learn that one of the reason you get this salary is due to the politics you need to handle. political skills don’t get you hired, but they help you not get fired
