The recruiter started off by saying that because of my experience, he would skip the initial coding interview, which consists of questions around data structures and algorithms. So, I was fast-forwarded to the second round with an ML Ops manager, which went quite well. He requested I move onto the next, final interview, which is a 3-4 hour panel. The recruiter called me with positive feedback as well and said he would work on scheduling the panel.

The next day, I got a call from him saying, unfortunately, I had to do the first-round coding interview. I declined taking that interview.

What steps would you take to automate the ML process?
