Although I didn't apply for a senior position, I feel your tips are so relevant regardless. How you present yourself is so important! I made a few mistakes on my end and came across as "green," or "too fresh" in my interview. They were worried I may need more training than necessary and ended up hiring someone younger and less experienced than me. The reason they chose him? Confidence! (I know someone on the inside and they told me why I was not chosen). I definitely feel watching this video gave me confidence! Your videos are supremely helpful and insightful

As someone who works in the filed for 5+ years, I would say this video nails the key points for a senior DS interview. What's more, it's the ONLY legit resource on KZbin about senior DS interview preps. Congrats! By the way, can you point me to the make up tutorial for your new look (I like the clean and professional look)?

[@emma_ding]

Thanks Xinxin! I appreciate the comments on the content and my make up :) Regards makeups, I did not change much from my earlier videos and the secret is the lighting. I now use Neewer 2 Pieces Dimmable Bi-color 660 LED Video Light to shoot my video instead of a floor lamp 😅. Also, it helps fo use webcam (I use logitech 4k pro webcam) for video meetings (not to shoot my video, but it's helpful in workplace), you always look professional no matter if you have make up or not 😄

Hi Emma! As someone’s who’s gone through quite a few data science interviews, thanks for sharing these tips and insights! Small data science KZbinr here too, keep up the good work! ☺️

Thank you for the video Emma. I like the Behavioral interview and presentation part even though I am looking for an entry level role. I think this part can apply to that also.

Very good video as you don't usually see much advice for those already in the field. Another thing I've seen is that you can make it to a senior DS with an academic background and no commercial experience. However, you usually are an expert in something that's in need (causal inference, or even more specific, something like synthetic controls).

Hi Emma, thank you for sharing your insights! One quick question though, does the web development (or full-stack) skills plays a significant role in landing a senior DS role? Thanks!

IMO it’s very rare to see a DS position that requires web dev skills

Is it possible to land a senior ds without being a junior/mid level?
