@ yes without using this new cutting edge machine learning and ai technologies and still asking to be experienced for those skills :D

This is one of the most genuine Data Scientist interviews I’ve seen. Thank you for sharing!

[@springboard]

Thanks Austin! You might also appreciate our newest DS Real Talk: kzbin.info/www/bejne/oobEfJp8q8tnaKM

12:00 "Never attribute to malice what can be attributed to incompetence." 😊 Wise words indeed. This was a nice interview. I like Katie's determination to get a data scientist job even if some employers considered her under-qualified. Perseverance (backed by skills and smart strategy) wins most of the time.

[@ataurrehman3664]

I see you in comments section of every data scientist videos. Are you one?

[@Nedwin]

Katie is one of the nicest data scientists I've ever seen over the internet. Thanks for doing this interview. 🙏

[@GoldPhoenix99]

Damn, she's amazing, I'd love to have her as my boss. She's asking all of the right questions (e.g. on strategy), she clearly identifies key issues (legacy tech stack and how address it), she seems very down-to-earth and she's actually willing to learn. 10/10 wish my boss was like her.

[@TacoSt8]

omg such style!! such confidence!!

[@Soulenergy31]

Wisest motto I have ever heard! "Never attribute to malice what can be attributed to incompetence."

Great questions, Eliza. Those answers provided so many valuable insights. I appreciate you and Katie very much for doing this.

Really awesome interview! The questions were good and answers very informative. Honestly one of the best data scientist videos I've seen so far.

[@chaitaliacharya7790]

This is really good and helpful for aspiring people. Please keep posting more!!!

[@zahash1045]

I did an internship once where I had to do the time on site metric but for an app by parsing the log files. It was pretty challenging as you have said where the timestamps mess up frequently and it looks like some sessions last for days (which is not true). The way I solved it is by putting safety limits like, if the time between two consecutive actions of the same user is more than, say, 1 hour, then consider it to be a new session. Also, there were also a lot of weird cases which had to be taken care of like, the home pang landing event was being recorded before the app open event.

AAAAAHHH KATIE IS SO COOL!!!! CONGRATS TO HER SUCCESS AT REDDIT

[@rufusprime0015]

She was so articulate and made it an awesome interview! Actually got me interested in data science. They should get her to do more data science related interviews i think it would inspire up and coming data scientists.

[@anthonysummit3098]

She worked in ad industry, most of them tend to be really articulate especially the upper management

[@ryandavis280]

she's so cool. I'd love to work for reddit when I graduate.

Great interview! She’s very articulate. I would love to watch her in more interviews. In data science, particularly as a machine learning engineer, are the maths behind the algorithms and models really that essential to understand or is a high level of understanding enough and execution of the model is of importance?

[@malickalexandresarr6730]

As a machine Learning engineer myself, i would say yes,> Having a high level of mathematical undestanding is core for that position. This is mainly due to the fact that the job involves a lot of optimization methods to decrease the use of ressources your model/program use. Knowing how to excecute the model is the easy part, which any data scientist should be able to do.

[@amar1190]

Great interview, felt like I could relate to this alot

[@siddhanthshetty6920]

12:00 What she meant was some bad things happen not because of people having bad intentions, but because they did not think it through properly. Correct me if I was wrong.

[@joebuslife9275]

Yes but also assume it is a mistake or incompetence that causes something until proven otherwise. Instead of what our reptilian instincts have us do by default which is "find the villain" (essentially the opposite order of what the quote suggests). You'll be a lot less angry in life and have more ability to solve problems if you can follow the advice of the quote.

[@joebuslife9275]

Most big corporations that people believe to be evil by some intention at the top are "evil" as a result of a lot of people in the company (from top to bottom) making not carefully enough thought through moves, mistakes, and just not being aware of the bigger picture of how everything adds up to what their company does and taking responsibility for how they add to it.

[@joebuslife9275]

"Evil companies" are the default. Especially the bigger a company gets. No one has to have a plan to make a company evil for it to happen. They just have to lack a plan to be good and not do the hard work to make sure they are. “The only thing necessary for the triumph of evil is for good men to do nothing.” ― Edmund Burke

[@sailaway258]

Great interview. She seems really knowledgable on data science. I feel like i saw her before on a data science panel.

[@gardnerjp1]

Great video!

[@yuhanyao2857]

Great interview! Sorry a basic question from a cat lover. But why do we draw the conclusion that people care more about their cats when what's wrong with your dogs is higher in time on site? Doesn't it mean that people spend more time on webpages about dog than cats so people care more about dogs? Maybe I am understanding something wrong here...

[@AkhilAhuja927]

Thank you for this ..

Im lost...people were more worried about cats yet whats wrong with your dog polled the most. Maybe im missing labels?

[@VivekGawande1]

She's talking about subreddits. r/WhatsWrongWithYourDog is more popular, but when you add all the cat subreddits, cats win

[@drsoper]

It’s because dog owners are hanging out with their dogs and not on reddit lol
