Data Science Roadmap: Technical Interviews in 2026
I recently had 80 interview rounds in 5 weeks with multiple FAANG/MAANG offers. Using detailed notes, I break down the core competencies tested throughout the technical round interviews. If you can confidently answer questions across these topics, you’ll be competitive for senior+ DS roles that pay $400-550k per year.
That said, interviews are NOT just technical. Especially at staff level, your behavioral questions play bigger and bigger roles in the interviews as you increase levels.
I put videos up for free on my socials:
