How to prep for Senior Data Scientist Interview at Microsoft?

Question

Hey Community,Got a loop round coming up at Microsoft. What are the suggestions, tips or best ways to prep for this kind of interview at Microsoft?What topics should I expect? And how deep should I expect these questions to be?I was told to expect business case questions applied to ML, but this is very opened ended and vague. I’m looking for more context or something more specific.&nbsp;TC: $234KBase:$174KStock:$35KBonus:$25KYOE: ~2#Microsoft #faang #techcareer #datascience&nbsp;#meta #Google #airbnb #tech &nbsp;

Congrats! Hope you crush it 🦾

Here are some q's to get your brain moving, not specific to msft:

1. Which of your data analytic techniques are you proudest of?
Highlights expertise and a commitment to skills development. Might be a good idea for you to list your top 5 strengths and be able to tell stories about how you leveraged them to achieve the results on your resume.

2. At what point would a data set be unusable?
Reveals data cleaning and analytical skills, plus the ability to avoid using a data set, when needed. These could be examples of how you fixed an issue or completely avoided one. Saving time, money, and resources is a HUGE benefit to any team.

3. Can you describe a time you developed capacity in a junior coworker?
Demonstrates mentoring and training skills, plus a commitment to fostering growth in others. As a Senior DS, I imagine you'll have some people development responsibilities either now or in the future.

Doesn't hurt to borrow some ideas from Amazon's LP's.
