This repository contains a comprehensive handbook designed to help you prepare for data science analytical interviews, with a specific focus on Meta 🚀.
This repository is organized into the following sections and files:
This is the core document providing a comprehensive guide to Meta's data science interview process. It covers:
- Introduction: Overview of Meta's interview process and values.
- Foundational Knowledge & Skills: In-depth review of essential topics including statistics 📊, probability 🎲, SQL 📑, and data analysis with Python/R 🐍.
- Interview-Specific Preparation: Guidance on tackling each stage of the interview process, from technical screens to behavioral questions.
- Analytical Execution/Case Study Interview: Deep dive into techniques for data analysis, hypothesis generation, and communication.
- Analytical Reasoning/Product Sense Interview: Strategies for clarifying problems, developing product sense, defining metrics, and designing experiments.
- Resources & Communities: Curated list of learning materials 📚, online communities 🧑🤝🧑, and helpful resources.
This file provides detailed examples and solutions to common statistics and probability questions encountered in data science interviews. It covers:
- Descriptive Statistics: Questions on measures of central tendency, variability, and data visualization 📊.
- Probability: Questions on Bayes' theorem, probability distributions, and sampling techniques.
- Inferential Statistics: Questions on hypothesis testing, p-values, confidence intervals, and significance testing.
- Statistical Modeling: Questions on regression analysis, A/B testing, and experimentation.
This file (available in both markdown and PDF formats) presents a collection of complex SQL problems designed to simulate real-world scenarios at Meta 🌍. The problems cover a wide range of SQL concepts and techniques, including joins, aggregations, subqueries, window functions, and more.
This file offers a mock behavioral interview with example questions and answers, focusing on soft skills, experience, and cultural fit at Meta.
This document provides a concise summary of key insights and tips for navigating the Meta data science interview process.
This file outlines potential additions and improvements to the handbook in the future.
- Start with the Handbook: Begin by reading the
Data-Science-Analytical-Interview-Preparation-Handbook.MDfile to gain a comprehensive understanding of Meta's interview process and the key skills assessed. - Review Foundational Knowledge: Use the handbook and the
Statistics-Probability-Example-Questions.MDfile to review and strengthen your understanding of core statistical concepts. - Practice SQL: Work through the problems in the
sql-example-problems.mdorsql-example-problems.pdffile to hone your SQL skills. - Prepare for Behavioral Questions: Review the
Behavioral-Mock-Interview.MDfile and practice answering behavioral questions. - Utilize the Resources: Explore the curated list of resources in the handbook to further enhance your preparation.
By following this approach, you can effectively utilize the materials in this repository to prepare for your Meta data science analytical interview. Good luck! 🍀
