Scheduled an intro call with recruiter for data scientist position discussing the role and salary expectations. Will have a 1 on 1 case interview in a couple days and update then.
The interview: 30-minute case study with a Senior Data Scientist about Credit card profitability calculation, basic arithmetic. The math was straightforward, conversation was smooth, and the interviewer described additional interview rounds ahead.
But an automated Workday rejection arrived minutes after the interview ended. I suspected the interview was a formality to satisfy a PERM (green card) process for an existing employee, not a genuine hiring effort.
