Question 1
Q:why should we choose you instead of math and stats major students. what's your advantage
Overall good. They are focus too much on SQL questions. They also ask machine learning questions. People are friendly here. The position is using SAS, instead of other languages. It is a good way to improve yourself.
HR reached out to me and then I go through one round with hiring manager to have technical phone screen. The questions are straightforward. 2 days later, I got the offer call from HR.
My suitability for this position is unique. My creativity and art of finance data product design got managers’ recognition. Besides, financial industry has a complex data system and data infrastructure. It also requires a lot of specific domain knowledge to do daily responsibilities. It will takes more than one year to train a new employee to fill this role.
