Why is it so hard to pass a interview it’s so intense and intimidating. I try to go in there like it’s a conversation and prepare before and question be the total opposite.

What’s your honest take on people using cheating applications during interviews?

2 Upvotes

A friend of mine recently used an interview assistant called pluely during the virtual interview and got placed at a big company.

A few weeks later, he’s struggling with daily tasks, assignments, and constantly worrying about getting exposed.
Cracking the interview is one thing. Doing the job every day is another.

AI should help you learn not pretend you know what you don’t.
What’s your take?

Have a opportunity for a role but part of the process is doing a 60 minute assessment. Anyone have any ideas of how to prepare or what types of functions their test covers? I can’t find anything online. It would be a role in life sciences.

Upcoming interview for senior data manager

1 Upvotes

I have a case study interview coming up with some senior directors for a senior data management role with capgemini invent. Has anyone else been through this, any tips etc?

They’ve asked me to prepare a 15 minute presentation but the interview is an hour. Will the rest of the interview focus on the case/presentation or just be a standard interview?

Feeling a bit confused about it all so not super confident

First technical interview at American Express (Data Analytics Apprenticeship) in 5–6 days. Need a realistic study roadmap.

1 Upvotes

Hi everyone,

I recently got shortlisted for the American Express Data Analytics Apprenticeship and received a call from HR. They told me there will be two interview rounds, and that I should be comfortable with:

* Advanced SQL

* Advanced Excel (Pivot Tables, VLOOKUP, INDEX-MATCH, etc.)

* Pandas for data cleaning

This will be my first ever technical interview, so I'm honestly quite nervous.

I have about 5–6 days to prepare. I already know the basics of SQL, Excel, and Python/Pandas, but I'm far from interview-ready.

I'd really appreciate advice from people who have interviewed at AmEx or similar companies.

Some specific questions:

  1. If you only had 5–6 days, how would you structure your preparation?

  2. Which SQL topics are asked most often? (Window functions, CTEs, joins, subqueries, etc.?)

  3. What level of Excel should I expect? Is it mostly formulas, Pivot Tables, or business scenarios?

  4. For Pandas, what kinds of data-cleaning questions are commonly asked?

  5. Are live coding questions common, or are they mostly conceptual?

  6. What types of business or case-study questions should I prepare for?

  7. Any mock interview resources or websites you'd recommend?

  8. If you've interviewed at American Express, what was your experience like, and what would you do differently if you could prepare again?

I'm planning to study around 10 hours a day for the next week, so I'd love to prioritize the highest-yield topics instead of trying to learn everything.

Any advice, preparation strategies, or interview experiences would be greatly appreciated. Thank you!

Anyone else stuck “studying everything” with no real interview plan?

1 Upvotes

I’m in (or recently was in) interview prep mode and kept running into the same thing:

• Too many resources, no weekly plan

• ChatGPT helps for 10 minutes then loses the thread

• LeetCode feels random without a path

• Mock interviews are awkward / expensive / hard to schedule

I’ve been building something for that loop: you pick a target role + timeline, it generates a prep plan, then you study with an AI mentor that knows the plan and can do mock interview practice.

It’s free to try. I’m looking for ~10 people currently prepping (next 4–8 weeks) who’ll use it for a few days and tell me what’s broken - happy to give free Pro for 2 weeks in exchange for honest feedback.

Not trying to spam the sub or market - genuinely want people who are actively interviewing.

If that’s you:

  1. What role + timeline are you prepping for?
  2. What’s your biggest bottleneck right now (plan, motivation, DSA, system design, behavioral, mocks)?

I’ll reply with access / how to get started. Roast it if it sucks; that’s useful too.

Guys... i don't know if this is legal or not

0 Upvotes

for the past few days i had a few interviews at different companies, and honestly the interviews aren't the hard part.

you finish the last round, they say "we'll get back to you", and then you get 2-3 weeks of refreshing your inbox at midnight and replaying every single answer you gave.

and i hate that part...

so i started building a small thing for myself. it records the interview, goes through the whole thing after, and tells you where you actually stand.

it looks at stuff like who talked more, whether they switched from testing you to selling you, and what you left hanging.

and at the end it gives you a score : your actual chances of getting the offer, based on how the interviewer behaved during the interview, not on how you felt walking out of it.

basically the debrief a friend would give you, if a friend had been sitting in the room.

here's where i'm stuck: the recording. i'm not building something that tapes people secretly. in a lot of places that's straight up illegal, and honestly it should be. so the only version that works is you ask first and they say yes.

which is the part i can't figure out alone:

would you actually say "do you mind if i record this for my own notes?" at the start of an interview? or does that torpedo you on the spot?

How do you organize your job search?

0 Upvotes

What helped so far is using resume.zoevera.com to customize my resume for each application and prepare.zoevera.com to practice interviews with scenarios I'm expecting. It made my prep feel a lot more intentional instead of just hoping I covered the right things. Anyone else found something that keeps everything organized?
