This article is intended for data scientists looking for a company change, people considering applying and interviewing to become data scientists in general, and those just interested in the differences of a very competitive job market over several years. I will first discuss the application process of 2020 and how that compares to 2024 in my personal experiences, as well as some anecdotal observations from others. Then, we will dive into the interview process once your application is accepted by the company. I will not be naming any of the companies I applied to, to keep this commentary anonymous, and instead, will be aggregating the trends from applying to and interviewing at a large number of various companies. Keep on reading if you would like to learn more about my experiences in the data science job market and how that can benefit or interest you.
