Advice from candidates

5 pieces of advice, in their own words. Names removed.

  • you may practice doc coding, helps across many companies for whom you give online interview

    general · 2025-26

  • Introductory ML course is a must. If you have studied the college's ML course (I had before the interview) then you are good to go.

    preparation · 2025-26

  • Projects can help a lot if they also involve pandas/python, pyspark (their main library), sql, sheets, cloud (aws/gcp), real models deployed, data handling - cleaning, manipulation etc.

    resume · 2025-26

  • product knowledge and good communication skills help, but their payoff will be at the job, less at the interview stage.
