Google always keeps looking for talented people to hire them as data scientists. It’s never easy for Google to find people with enough talent and passion. Let’s look at the criteria to secure a job at Google as a data scientist.

As you may know, the interviews at Google are pretty intense. It sets the hiring bar high. Therefore, I’ve listed a few points before appearing for an interview at Google.

Know Your Statistics

An individual is expected to know Mathematics like linear algebra, and calculus more or less to get hired as a data scientist. They look for such people who live and breathe probability and statistics. Promising candidates require having the equivalent of at least 3 or 4 courses in probability and statistics, or machine learning. Anything more than these is the icing on the cake. One should be able to ace the homework and exams in his/her probability and statistics courses. Most of Google’s data scientists already teach these courses before entering the eco-system of Google. There are a few websites available, such as stats.stackexchange.com, on which one can discover some questions and discussions to acquire his/her statistical skills.

Anything less than that could be augmented with courses in technical fields like economics, computer science, and engineering. Original research can also aid.
