Ask HN: How to change jobs with almost no interviewing experience?
I'm in my first job out of school, and looking for a new ML job. I gathered a lot of offers that interest me.
The thing is, I've never gotten much interview experience. I got that job through a very weak selection process with basically no testing, the real test was an internship and then a trial period. I don't know what interviewers expect (I'm looking for machine learning jobs), or how to practice it. The first interviews I take, I'll probably bomb.
Is the best way just to start with positions I'm not that interested in and bomb them for practice, buy a book or two about ML interviews and go through exercises, or do more side projects?
I'd like to have an offer that I can accept in the next few months. I can take time off to practice if needed.
