      Easy interview

      Application

      I applied online. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at LinkedIn in Jun 2022

      Interview

      First round interview was with a recruiter. Go over the basics, talk about your experience, and learn more about the role. Second round interview (1 hr technical interview) involves: 1. Coding (25 mins) - easy leetcode algorithms question 2. Machine learning techniques (10 mins) 3. Statistics (10 - 15 mins) 4. You can ask the Interviewer - prepare those in advance

      Interview questions [1]

      Question 1

      1. Coding (25 mins) - I was asked; Given an array, find a number (or rather it’s index) to start with such that the same is never negative. Similar to “ 1413. Minimum Value to Get Positive Step by Step Sum” on leetcode 2. Machine learning techniques (10 mins) - I was asked about how to improve LinkedIn’s premium subscription among users. This goes under Logistic Regression category. So the second part of the question was knowing that 1% of users are subscribed, how do we run a model with such imbalance (100 subscribers vs 9900 free users)? Well make it balanced, sample a 100 non-subscriber data and consider former subscribers. Also, consider that not all 100 current subscriber data is clean. 3. Statistics - I was asked about A/B testing for email marketing. It started out as simple as comparing percentage of success rates between email A and B. But then advanced to asking how to utilize statistical significance and statistical power in comparing these success rates. If I don’t move on to the next round, it is because of this Stats section.
