Sr Data Scientist Interview Questions

3,367 sr data scientist interview questions shared by candidates

The hiring manager acted more like an interrogator than a professional interviewer. He tried to find contradictions in my resume instead of asking deep questions about how I did my prior projects. For example, he wanted to put me in a corner that GPT 3.5 was not issued when I claimed it in my resume, while he was wrong about the issue date of GPT 3.5. See, how cheap were his questions!
