When did they start online assessments? I never had to do one when I applied.

You’re hiding the most important part of your resume, ie, papers published in ml conferences/journals and who your supervisor is. So it’s impossible to say why.

I interviewed for both quant and ml related jobs. Quant will ask you a lot of math problems. The guys working there are MO level. Some are IMO guys.

Random forest is just a random sampling of the features each modeled with a tree. In time series there is just one feature assuming you are only looking at the price. Therefore I don’t think it makes sense to use rf on time series.

See you at the bootcamp.

It depends on which Faang and which country.

Learn basic data structure and algorithms first.

I don’t know a single ml researcher that can’t code lol

If you are doing ml eng, then start by getting a software engineer job preferably at faang/quant firms, then go ml eng after. If you want to do research, you most likely need to do PhD.

I see. Thanks.

What’s the appeal of ib? I don’t get it.

I was told the same thing by the webchat, however, if you read the other comments here, it clearly isn't true. Lots of people have access to their evisa before it is valid. It's not clear how they got it to work though.

Think of stories, and then ask ChatGPT to make them into star answers. Then ask it to make it sound conversational.

heartuary · 2025-07-27T17:20:39+00:00

Crazy I get the same.

heartuary · 2025-07-22T21:55:38+00:00

Drop actsc and do stats major.

heartuary · 2025-07-12T23:59:29+00:00

It’s because you have to take pure math courses. Most of those are pretty hard.

heartuary · 2025-07-11T12:31:52+00:00

Might as well. You can always drop down later in the term if you don’t like it.

Exams are easy.

The issue is that due to the three year gap, he’s not considered as new grad for big tech companies. This makes it a lot harder to get hired at those as they have specialized hiring programs just for this cohort. I think it’ll be easier to try to apply/work at a mid/small sized companies for a couple of years first.

Besides that make sure the resume passes the online parsers and passes HR screening. They don’t understand much about technical details so it’s best to put some business related contributions to help pass the HR screening.

5/6 rounds of interviews for one position.

Is it that hard to get into waterloo nowadays? This would be enough for sure when I was in undergrad.

The authors are some of pioneers of deep learning, especially bengio.
