Hey Eniolaa, Thank a lot for sharing your experience about the interview process along with the materials you referred to. It is awesome ! May I know how much time you took to go through all the materials you mentioned, as the tuff part i believe is the DATA STRUCTURES AND ALGORITHM (understanding and solving problems)

[@dinushachathuranga7657]

[@eniolaa]

thanks aunty sally :)

[@DlVirgin]

very comprehensive and helpful eniola. for ML-SWE roles (a opposed to general SWE roles) do you think being able to solve Leetcode Mediums is good enough? how many leetcode problems did you do and what was the split (easy/medium/hard)?

Hello! not sure if anyone told you this but i think you did an insane job with your preparation! how long did it take you to finish your preparation from start to finish? i am super in awe of how you managed to squeeze time out for preparation. did you even have time for anything else after studying? 😢

What a video. Kudos to you. I am also preparing to get into the field of machine learning and after watching your video my heart is saying to me just follow the same steps and you will surely be able to ge a good job. So i am also going to follow the same path as you. Just one thing wanted to ask. What is your qualification and how much time it took you to go through all the process you mentioned in video. Also mention how many hours of study you put daily

[@sebastianrobi]

Thank you eniolaa, it is very helpful noted all points mentioned in the videos. I wanted to ask you what are the other options/areas of expertise in ML we have? as you mentioned your area of expertise is NLP. Thank you.😇

[@peterobiugonna8950]

Great Eniola. I enjoyed your yt videos.

[@eniolaa]

thank you peter :)

[@davidakinmade3523]

Would also be nice if you did a video discussing the questions you encountered during the actual interview, and the the way you approached the more worded ones. Also, loved the white/off-white aesthetic of the background

[@eniolaa]

great idea david, while i can't share the exact questions i got asked i can do a video discussing similar problems and my approach to solving them. and thanks for noticing the aesthetic!

Thanks Oyinkan :*

Today I learned that the google ML SWE interview is fierce

[@mr.intuition]

Just wanted to ask does DSA and Algorithms really needed to work for ml engineer apart from ml algos

[@Mal-wk3uq]

very informative, how many months did it take you to prepare for the interview ?

[@luanabarros6242]

Amazing!! Very difficult to learn all those things 😢😂

[@oneforallah]

THANKS FOR SHARING YOUR OPINIONS AND ADVICE !

[@eniolaa]

My pleasure!!

[@oneforallah]

@@eniolaa hey may I ask u something, if I am preparing for a data Scientist / MLE role with 1 year experience (not at Google though I'm too green for that rn) will going through 100 leetcode problems be more than enough ? I mean is 2 months adequate for crunching both DSA and ML theory.

[@eniolaa]

@@oneforallah i think 2 months of consistent practise should be enough to cover both areas.

[@oneforallah]

@@eniolaa thanks for that info, so onto prep I go ! 👌

[@MrBaunty]

Hi, nice video :) Where did you learn to write the ML Models from scratch? Did you have some website for that or a guide? This would really help me.

[@mindsetnuggets]

Congratulations Eniola. I failed last year. I'll be trying again this year. Thank you for sharing

[@eniolaa]

hope you crush it this time around!

We would also appreciate if you can make a video on a day in your life as machine learning engineer both at home and in the office

[@eniolaa]

Thanks for the suggestion gbenga. i'[ll make a video on that soon!

[@nanyideng]

wonderful wonderful content. I am wondering how does it takes you to prepare these? could you share your timeline. Also, I know you studied for another engineering degree in college. Wondering from there, how long does it take to prep and land your first MLE job?

[@lilpie7984]

How long did it take for u to prepare all of these tech interview?? and what sources did u use to learn data structures and algorithms concepts?

[@sushantapanda4589]

Very Nice & Crisp Presentation. How you prepare the ML Algo to write from the scratch in Python ? Any Reference or sites which helps ?

[@Garentei]

I'm a SWE new grad but would like to be a ML Engineer. Would you recommend to study a master's to gain the ML knowledge needed (I already have all the SWE knowledge needed to pass interviews)?

Subscribed !

[@eniolaa]

really appreciate it Nifemi

[@jessehe9286]

Great Video, thanks for the tips! What resources did you use to learn about the basic data structures and algorithms, before reading Cracking the Coding Interview?

[@eniolaa]

Thank you Jesse :) I can't remember the course I personally used to learn the basics but a great resource recommended by @Bukola1 is UC Berkeley Data Structures Course (inst.eecs.berkeley.edu/~cs61b/fa19/) for DS and Algorithms 4th ed by Sedgwick & The Algorithm Design Manual by Skiena for algorithms

[@user-gf3yy5iu6b]

Thank you for the useful content, but does Google hire junior machine learning engineers?

[@devendra8852]

Very informative. Subscribed. Did you face any SQL related questions also in interview?

[@eniolaa]

Thanks a lot Devendra! I didn't have any SQL related interviews but i assume it does get asked in some other database focused SWE interviews.

Dear Lady you are extremely beautiful, helpful and informative .... i appreciate for sharing so much information related to this field i had a doubt do we need strong mathematics knowledge to work and crack interview in machine learning field .... well mathematics like linear algebra, statistics and probability?

[@NirmalSilwal]

hi, new subscriber in the channel :)

[@eniolaa]

Hello Nirmal and thank you 😊

[@jocalvo]

Eniola, I have a question for you.. which interview style is the ML interview? Is it like going through an ML problem and solve it by code? Or is it more like code an ML model from scratch? Or is it more conceptual? Is it like 45 mins similar to the code Int? Thanks! 😊

[@eniolaa]

the ML interview format can vary and i have personally experienced all of the formats you mentioned.

[@convolutionalnn2582]

Can you make video on how to Machine Learning interview goes on Google? What the difference with normal software Engineer

[@Data_Dr16]

Thanks Eniola. Please, how long did it take you to become a machine learning engineer from your electrical electronics course?

[@eniolaa]

it took me around 6-8 months.

[@airguillo31]

hey, would you be able to do a mock up ML interview with me?

[@DecafDave]

I just practiced coding up logistic regression from scratch (with numpy and pandas). Are you expected to know the gradient descent equation from memory? Thanks for the informative video.

[@eniolaa]

yes you should be able to code up the equations that compute gradients and updates the parameters.

[@zahrashekarchi6139]

Should we expect coding for the ML interview?

[@roopeshm7771]

Do we need to study maths as well to get hired.

Hello Eniolaa and thanks for this inspiring video , i want to know where do you were when you applied for google canada , at canada or at nigeria i mean is it possible to be in africa and applied for interview at google canada ?

i got employed in canada but i believe google employs for various roles across africa, you can check out their career page for more information
