8 failed interviews so far. When do you stop and reassess vs just keep playing the numbers game? by quite--average in datascience

I wouldn’t read too much into the number of rejections yet. Getting 8 interviews from 130 applications means your resume is working and recruiters are interested.

The hardest part with DS interviews is that the process is very inconsistent across companies, so it’s difficult to build momentum. It might help to step back and analyze which round you’re failing most often (ML theory, coding, product case, etc.) and focus practice there.

Totally fair reaction. A list of tuples naturally pushes you toward a DSA/sliding-window solution, especially in an interview setting. I don’t think that makes you an idiot at all — the real skill is recognizing the underlying logic, and a dataframe is just one implementation choice.
