Emma, I just got an offer from my dream FAANG company, and I give all credits to your amazing videos. I watched every single one of your videos 5+ times, and they basically guided me throughout the process. I highly recommended your videos to all my friends! Thank you, and please keep up the great work you’re doing!

Hi Clow! Congratulations! I'm glad you find my content helpful and best of luck with your new job! :)

As a bit of a contrast to the last point- that's something I think you should absolutely ask a company that's in a high burn rate field like gaming. I'm currently working for Gamesight- and love the response my now manager gave me when I asked "The gaming field is notorious for a crunch culture; what does Gamesight do to change that?". His response- "I'll jump in the weeds with you if there's a big project, and if you ever need to work over time- I consider it a personal failure as a manager to have not been able to plan things out better."

This is awesome! The information is great, something everyone needs to know when preparing for an interview.

Great channel. I love the content. Currently working as a statistician but looking to eventually transition into data science at my organization or another. I applied to about 30 data science jobs and didn't get any interviews, so this is a helpful video. Thanks!

Emma I just found your channel and want to thank you for your great content! Thank you 感谢干货

Good videos! Thanks for sharing! Want to add on something here, I personally think it's ok to ask questions regarding challenges the team is facing, after they talked about the challenges (it could be about collaboration, communication, etc) I sometimes found those challenges is the fun part of the work and I usually give back response that those challenges are things that I enjoy and see opportunities for development in those challenges

Related to the tip about not asking negative questions, I like to ask "What's one thing you like about working on your team/company, and what's one thing you don't like as much?" as a way to get some negative signal without being too negative.

Hi Emma, got an offer from a comapany I wanted to get into and what really helped me was "Emphasis Impact". Interviewer talked about the impact details i speak of. Thanks! edit: It also helped me with my product sense round as I was able to link my answer to the impact i talked about earlier in the interview

[@emma_ding]

Hi dv! That's awesome, congratulations! Best of luck with your new job! :)

[@diniaadil6154]

Can you do a video about the non technical skills or complementary knowledge to focus on when applying for a Data Science job? Data Sciencist is such a versatile position , and obviously behavior ,communication and soft skills are as important as the technical expertise, thank you for the video !
