Solicité el puesto a través de un captador. Acudí a una entrevista en Yandex (Belgrade) en feb 2025
Entrevista
3 rounds of general interviews (leetcode, ml theory, recsys related) and then one per product team.
Leetcode was not that hard, the last question made me think tho, that was not a regular "invert a linked list" problem but more like a geometry/general math related problem, enjoyed solving it.

Asked about biases in designing a recommendation system and ways to avoid them.
Very stiff. Mostly did not answer questions only asked for the solution. Pretty easy algorithms on a level of easy/medium. Hard sql where the first task was pretty easy however second one took me 30 minutes to figure out.
