Data Science Job Interview Warm‑Up: 30 Real Coding & System‑Design Questions

Data science has become one of the most sought‑after fields in technology, leveraging mathematics, statistics, machine learning, and programming to derive valuable insights from data. Organisations across every sector—finance, healthcare, retail, government—rely on data scientists to build predictive models, understand patterns, and shape strategy with data‑driven decisions. If you’re gearing up for a data science interview, expect a well‑rounded evaluation. Beyond statistics and algorithms, many roles also require data wrangling, visualisation, software engineering, and communication skills. Interviewers want to see if you can slice and dice messy datasets, design experiments, and scale ML models to production. In this guide, we’ll explore 30 real coding & system‑design questions commonly posed in data science interviews. You’ll find challenges ranging from algorithmic coding and statistical puzzle‑solving to the architectural side of building data science platforms in real‑world settings. By practising with these questions, you’ll gain the confidence and clarity needed to stand out among competitive candidates.

Negotiating Your Data Science Job Offer: Equity, Bonuses & Perks Explained

Data science has rapidly evolved from a niche specialty to a cornerstone of strategic decision-making in virtually every industry—from finance and healthcare to retail, entertainment, and AI research. As a mid‑senior data scientist, you’re not just running predictive models or generating dashboards; you’re shaping business strategy, product innovation, and customer experiences. This level of influence is why employers are increasingly offering compensation packages that go beyond a baseline salary. Yet, many professionals still tend to focus almost exclusively on base pay when negotiating a new role. This can be a costly oversight. Companies vying for data science talent—especially in the UK, where demand often outstrips supply—routinely offer equity, bonuses, flexible work options, and professional development funds in addition to salary. Recognising these opportunities and effectively negotiating them can have a substantial impact on your total earnings and long-term career satisfaction. This guide explores every facet of negotiating a data science job offer—from understanding equity structures and bonus schemes to weighing crucial perks like remote work and ongoing skill development. By the end, you’ll be well-equipped to secure a holistic package aligned with your market value, your life goals, and the tremendous impact you bring to any organisation.
