Intensive Technical Interview Prep

Overview

This program includes a weekly study plan for technical interview preparation. Each week concludes with a mock interview centered on that week's topic. You will receive two mock interview scripts so you and a partner can alternate between interviewer and interviewee roles.

You should also leverage your career advisor for behavioral interview practice, resume feedback, and introductions to hiring partners and Erdős alumni at companies you are targeting.

Objectives

The goal of this course is to prepare you for data science technical interviews by strengthening your problem-solving skills, technical knowledge, and communication under evaluation conditions.

If you took the deep learning boot camp, you'll be given additional readings for advanced deep learning techniques that you should complete in addition to the data science materials.

Textbook/Notes

Note: our video player does not support playback speed options. You can find a third party browser extension which will allow you to modify video playback speed. For example, this one works for Chrome: video-speed-controller. If you would prefer to avoid a browser extension you can manually modify the playback speed in the javascript console as well: Speed up any HTML5 video player!
