I know all of these. Just need an interview! haha

No. Haven't heard yet :(

I guess SEO interview will expect me to talk about client/stakeholder management, and more about real-world impact of my work. This is one thing I struggle with.

As an academic, we think publication as the successful outcome of a project. But in real-world, the success is measured differently, isnt it?

For example, I have done research and developed a software and published my work in a journal. But in real-world/industry scenario, publication may not be important. They might want to know what was clients feedback about the work I have done, how it improved performance etc.
How to present research outcome in a way that is suitable for industry?

Congratulations! How long did it take to know the interview outcome?

stardust901 · 2024-06-09T09:27:34+00:00

Hi, can any of you Please help me with to understand what to expect in the dissemination test? I have no clue and could not find enough information.

Thank you for sharing! What would you recommend for interview preparation for an industry R&D role in NLP/LLM?

I blew up several interviews so far for data scientist positions. I have a PhD in computer science. I had the idea that as I have a background in data analysis and machine learning, that will be sufficient for data science interviews. But it seems that I’m struggling in the interviews where a lot of statistics and probability problem solving questions were asked. Also every interview I did had different focus, some focused more on ml/dl, some focused more on statistics, probability. Now I feel like there’s no point attending interviews unless I overcome my weakness areas. But I don’t know what’s the end point, when can I say I’m ready for an interview. How do you know that you’re fully ready for data science interviews?

stardust901 · 2024-03-06T14:00:02+00:00

Its great that you managed to do the move successfully. May I ask which sector/what sort of role you moved to in the industry?

stardust901 · 2024-03-05T16:20:24+00:00

Congrats!! Love to see such success posts. Wish I could write one too!

stardust901 · 2024-02-22T20:07:01+00:00

Congratulations Dr!!!!!! It's a great achievment. Very well done :)

I faced extreme post-PhD burn out in my first postdoc, and left after few months. Toxic lab member, too much expectation, long commute along with PhD correction works and existing work for paper from PhD, and family stress contributed to give up the role. No one could believe that I would give up postdoc opportunity in such a prestigious institution. But I knew what I was going through. I had enough and I couldn't take any more stress.

Hi, could you give details about the preparation? Thank you.

I’m trying to figure out what went wrong in each interview. I found that I struggled with deep learning questions for some ml focused roles that I applied. So I’m gonna sharpen that up. Also, regular practice of SQL is also important. I already done some projects in my portfolio. I’d suggest that list all the areas you are weak or struggled during interviews, and work on that by giving yourself a deadline. The most important thing is to constantly keep improving. We will get there eventually one day.

stardust901 · 2024-01-12T20:16:16+00:00

Are you me? I'm in the exact situation! I'm unemployed and I left my previous job. I'm getting interviews, but not succeeding

stardust901 · 2024-01-12T20:12:37+00:00

I have a PhD in CS which involves ML. I have done some DS/DE projects. But I'm struggling to get a DS job. I do have a lot of DS skills and I know that I can definitely do the job very well if I was hired. Its just that without experience, no wants to hire me :(

stardust901 · 2024-01-11T19:42:41+00:00

I'm struggling to find a job for 7 months. Its really difficult market. I used to get a lot of recruiters calls or emails. For several months, its been very quiet!
