Process
Landing a machine learning internship at Microsoft is a competitive feat, and the interview process definitely reflects that.
The in-depth machine learning portion pushed me to my limits. The interviewer fired off detailed questions that delved into specific algorithms and concepts.
There were definitely moments where I felt like I was out of my depth, especially with some of the more nuanced aspects they explored.
It can be pretty discouraging to experience that level of challenge in an interview. Here I was, feeling like I had a solid grasp of machine learning, yet struggling to articulate everything perfectly. It highlighted areas where my knowledge needed to be more precise.
