Interview coaching
Extremely helpful session. I consulted Yahia to get advice on which data science position to pursue (between product data scientist / data scientist / MLE / research scientist). I liked how Yahia asked many questions to understand my background, my strengths and my preferences at work. This helped get more clarity on what I want career-wise, which is exactly what I wanted out of that session. He also gave me information on how to prepare for the interviews.
