Real Data Science Interview Questions

Below is a list (in no particular order) of real interview questions I have either asked, been asked, or saw asked in a real interview. While everyone has their own take on interview advice, mine is pretty clear cut. Answer the question, nothing more nothing less. Don’t get caught up in the trap of trying to add too much detail. Unless specifically asked for more detail, the interviewer more often than not just wants to make sure you have a grasp of the concepts.
