Interview
It helps to know someone in the company to fast track you to a recruiter and interview. After the phone screen about the role/potential fit, they send you a dataset to analyze in a 24 hour window. If they like your submission, they ask you to come in for a presentation of your work, in which they grill you on the assumptions you made in your analysis.

Question 1
How did you make the conclusion that this data was valid for your intended analysis>?
I interviewed with a recruiter last fall. Since I was graduating in eight months, she said she'd talk to the hiring manager about whether to send technical interviews now or hold off for different openings in the future, and would get back to me in a few days. She never followed up and didn't respond to my emails. Eventually, I got an automated rejection, the subject line literally read "Update on [insert job title]," they hadn't even bothered to fill in the job title. The whole process felt unprofessional.
“I completed all interview rounds — including HR, technical screening, product sense, business case, algorithm live coding, decisions live coding, machine learning, and experience interviews — but the company ultimately selected another candidate
