Rant

Bro. Who ever asks for DSA for a MLE or Data Scientist is not good working for. So chill. I write to them that 'this is a very bad interview practise and reject the interview' (it's waste of time for me). Besides look, everytime I try to switch and go for new role, I also get rejected initially, it's about you getting acclaimed to the hiring environment. But after each tranche of failures, I have managed to grab 50-100% jumps. So getting rejected is part and parcel. It will prepare you better for next one. That fear is good. So accept it and let it guide you to prepare better. It's alright Now coming to actual stuff other than these gyaans everyone has given-- 1. Make a list of basics to prepare for and each day cover those topics.. I will just jot down a comprehensive view so that it will help both me and you -linear regression - assumptions -pValue significance (statquest videos) -heteroScedasiticy shyt -lasso vs ridge, why lasso reduces ur features (get this down well) -AB testing (for every project u have worked on you need to tell how you designed ur AB experiment) Learn power analysis How to get minimum sample size-- statquest again -bias variance tradeoff -confidence intervals, standard error -Rocr vs PR curves -central limit theorem, z test, t test, 2tailed test bla bla -PCA (though no one uses it, some interviewers are shite) -regularization - why use sigmoid in logistic? Loss functions- MSE ve MAE, vs Mape ADV and disadv of each Sigmoid graph Decision Trees, entropy, info gain, gini XGBoost, Random forest Isololation forests Get the xgboost loss function and how boosting exactly works, Regularisation in xgboost Be prepared to code GBM as well. It's simple Neural nets Why do you need activation functions? Gradient descent, derivation as well Gradient descent through time Cross entropy loss and it's derivation(read max likelihood function) Auto encoders- read how it helps anam

You need to come out of fear that you got laid off. May be join gym, play your fav sports to stress out. Once it is done, you will see performance difference in your interviews and you will get through. Layoffs are not for bad performers these days by the way, so don’t feel bad.

I was recently laid off from my company. I had 2 months of notice period where in I have to search new job. I applied everywhere and started preparation for interviews. At this time you normally feel down. You just need to focus on yourself and do some mediation and physical activities daily to keep yourself active. Never panik inthese situation. Now a days all the other companies know that layoff is not based on performance but the companies financial situation. So, you will not be judged for bad performance in other company interviews. I got rejected from more than 50 companies, but I never stopped. Now at the last week of notice period I was offered a job and secured that. So, moral is never underestimate yourself and keep your will power up and do some kind of mediation and physical activities daily. In your case you are still working in the company so you need not to worry. Happy Working!

First, believe in yourself, have self confidence, and the situation is definitely going to be good with time. Focus on skills improvement and enjoy this journey. As mentioned above do Gym or better to do meditation for self peace.

Worrying about any negative outcomes which aint under your control is simply a waste of time, just give your best!!!! dont worry about the rest.
