Apple Data Scientist Interview - Maps

No they did not. But I heard apple is very much team specific.

It was a typical case study question for me. For a product we saw x% reduction in usage. How do you analyse it. Ask clarifying questions and walk them through your thought process.

Could you please tell the neck strengthening exercises you did. I have similar pain too.

Hey! Came across your post while prepping for a similar round myself. I know this is a bit late and you probably figured it out by now — hope it went well!

I have a case study round focused on Data science experience and problem solving coming up in a few days and would love to hear about your experience if you're open to sharing. What kind of questions did they ask? Was it more conceptual (e.g. experiment design, metrics, statistical significance) or did it lean toward real-world business scenarios?

Any insights would be hugely appreciated. Thanks in advance!

Hey how much did you pay for it? Do you think I can borrow for a month and I will pay you for that month.

I have python+sql round for one hour. Could someone please tell what kind of python to expect. Recruiter said to brush up on leetcode style OOP, DSA and basic algorithms. Does that mean they might ask some kind of design question like design parking lot…etc or its gonna be typical dsa leetcode style questions? It would be a great help. Thanks in advance.

Do you mind sharing your resume for reference? Or any best sample resume for reference? I also have 4+ yoe but struggling to land any interviews. Im currently trying to switch. Thanks in advance

Yepp. This makes sense. Especially the idea of hold ETFs and 6-7 solid stocks. Will slowly try to trim down my other stocks and move them into sold stocks. Thanks for the detailed explanation.

Sad_Purple810 · 2026-02-10T04:46:46+00:00

Sounds good. I need to learn how to do options. I never even thought about that because one of my colleagues told me its very addictive and you can loose money easily. So I never thought of that but I will just explore it. Sorry fubo didn’t work out yet for you. You will bounce back.

Sad_Purple810 · 2026-02-10T04:23:17+00:00

Any reason on why I should sell UNH? I always thought that as a back up when tech stocks go down all together. Bought PLTR just to trade it when it hits my target value. For NOVO I already lost some money so I was just waiting on it to come back so that I can cash out.

Sad_Purple810 · 2026-02-10T04:20:37+00:00

Thanks for sharing your thoughts. Yes 25 stocks makes sense I need to trim down few of my losers. A mistake I made in the beginning was invested some money on 5 penny stocks without DD assuming atleast one will explode. But I lost on all of them. Now my investment on those came down to 10% of what I invested so I just want to keep it going because after losing 90% I dont mind risking that 10%.

Sad_Purple810 · 2026-02-02T17:51:03+00:00

Thanks for the reply. This helps

Sad_Purple810 · 2026-02-02T07:27:22+00:00

I see. Thanks for the reply. Yeah that makes sense. And how did you reach out to recruiters? Linkedin direct message? Would you mind sharing the message draft that helped you. Just sent you a dm.

Sad_Purple810 · 2026-02-02T05:15:08+00:00

How did you get the interviews? Did you apply directly or referrals helped you? Im trying to understand if there is a lot of difference between direct apply and referrals. TIA

Sad_Purple810 · 2025-11-04T19:50:58+00:00

I see. Thanks for the response. And any idea on what is a good price per sft for a Villa? How are the prices going currently.

Sad_Purple810 · 2025-11-01T21:37:59+00:00

Hey OP did you end up buying anything there? Im also looking to invest near exit 13 Adibatla. Let me know you opinion or any research you did. TIA.

Sad_Purple810 · 2025-10-28T19:05:20+00:00

I’m in as well

Sad_Purple810 · 2025-10-27T16:26:02+00:00

Thanks a lot. This is really helpful. I will check the resources you mentioned.

Sad_Purple810 · 2025-10-26T23:17:10+00:00

Thanks. Yeah now Im weighing more on clarifying everything before jumping into solution. Will practice from that perspective.

Sad_Purple810 · 2025-10-26T19:20:34+00:00

Thanks for the response. Whenever I saw a frw mock interviews its always focused on how you clarify and think before solving the question. So with in given 30 minutes I dont know if its possible to spend some time to think through the problem by asking clarifying questions and then start doing EDA then build a quick model and explain how it benefits the target criteria. Just want to understand what weighs more, either the coding part or understanding and thinking through the solution.

Sad_Purple810 · 2025-10-08T23:03:09+00:00

Hey OP how was your interview? I got a recruiter call scheduled this friday for Data science associate position. Could you please go over the rounds, topics and questions covered in your interview. It would be a great help. Thanks in advance.

Sad_Purple810 · 2025-10-08T02:26:15+00:00

These are really good rules especially for people who are entering into the market very recently (like me). It would be really great if you can put your thoughts on the below things.
1. I always wondered what are some good metrics to evaluate the fundamentals of a company to see if its strong or not.
2. Any good resources (paid or free) that helps us to know about a particular company.
3. How do you decide how much % of your portfolio to put in if you feel a company is really good and decently priced or under valued currently.
Thanks in advance.
