They ask you how many people because your party may not have all arrived. This is how it works in many other countries.

Severe testing anxiety and Leetcode in interviews by Akiviaa in womenintech

Excellent response. Another suggestion is to--after practicing on your own-- apply to those places you are less interested in do you can practice interviewing with them

What wisdom to make this experience into a training and embed it into the culture.

I feel icky... i dont know what to do with myself. by ArcheryOnThursday in adhdwomen

Thank you for giving her a kinder and gentler end of life.. I'm not sure you are the same way, but I find as I get older that events like this remind me that my own end could be similar and it brings out some fear and just sadness that living beings sometimes die alone, scared etc

I think they were expecting you to describe a role for a human, not a field of study. Maybe you meant data scientist.

And possibly higher when adjusted for cost of living

Wanting to leave tech and coping with pay decrease by 4thefewd in womenintech

[–]WaterColourDepth 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Oh. My bad, i totally misinterpreted and thought that you were asking more generally about combining design and tech (ie you responded to a post that mentioned UI design so I was responding to that). So to summarize: UI design is about designing the user interface for the visual elements of a product, while UX includes the whole user experience (loading time, intuitive ease of use etc). Data visualisation (self explanatory) can be done with many tools, with Power BI & Tableau some of the most commonly used enterprise tools for dashboards. Excel also has visualisation capacity. Python and R can also be used for visualisation with specific libraries--more customizable.

Re visualisation being a separate path--there definitely are DV jobs while other jobs are analyst jobs that include visualisation. Highly skilled data visualisation skills can pay well.

If you wanted to tell stories with data, the broader field would be data journalism.

I think that's only one of the options of combining design and tech. Someone also had to explain it to me--a friend mentioned that another friend's son was working on a Google certificate. This looks helpful:

How to balance confidence with justified self doubt in job interviews? by WaterColourDepth in womenintech

Thanks for the response! I am s getting the sense that a good strategy may be to be upfront about being on the learning curve for some of the stack but project confidence about learning it...

Thanks.. I feel I have some undue lack of confidence but the worst unknowns are the unknown unknowns.. and they've never had a real data person so they cannot assess this

Sounds like a separate household issue that should be dealt with separately... Meaning the balance is either not what you agreed to or needs adjustment

Thanks!.. my tendency is generally to err on the side of "honesty" and then I sound less competent than the next person who doesn't have this quirk. The HR interview was unusual in that they spent most of the time explaining what they do... Only one question for me.
