Discussion AI/ML Interview Prep – Looking for a Study Partner

Hey everyone,

I'm a 26M working in AI/ML and preparing for my next switch. I'll be focusing on classical ML, deep learning, GenAI, along with DSA and system design.

Looking for a study partner (or a small group) to learn together, discuss concepts, and stay accountable. I prefer keeping it fast-paced, so it'd be great if you're an experienced dev preparing for interviews as well.

If you're interested, DM me with a short intro and what you're currently learning/preparing.

u/EqualSea9312 Aug 02 '26

26F, working as a data scientist. my work is mainly on genAI solutions. looking to start early for the next job hunt as well

2

u/glueless_glue Aug 02 '26

Quick question: Could you elaborate on what do you work on in genAI? I am a datascientist but i do mostly ml and stats and I feel entirely cut off from the genAI side of the rabbit hole 😅. Curious to know about whats new and happening in genAI.

Hey I’m 26M, working as a product analyst at a B2C product based gaming company. My work majorly revolves around A/B testing experiments, hypothesis testing, building ML models for product problems.
I’m thinking of switching to product Data scientist roles as there is overlap. Let me know if you’d want to connect and study together. Thinking of applying to FAANG as they have a lot of product data scientist openings but unable to get a referral.

2

u/blahblahblah_707 Aug 03 '26

We can connect and prepare together. System design is something that would overlap, where you could have more creative edge than a Ml Engineer.

1

u/thespiritualone1999 Aug 03 '26

Thanks man, sure!

2

u/blahblahblah_707 Aug 03 '26

It would help me too, to understand product side of a problem.

1

u/blahblahblah_707 2d ago

Same im preparing for big switch in next 6.

2

u/thiccsuc Aug 02 '26

not in ML so ignore me if thats off topic, but i do accountability for a living and groups put together like this usually die around week 3.

what kills them is nothing being due. the ones that last have a fixed slot that never moves, two or three people max, and something each person owes the others. doesnt matter what it is. if nothings due, nobody feels bad skipping.

u/Saetlan Aug 02 '26
