Challenge Yourself, Be Authentic

This closing segment reinforces the importance of authenticity and adaptability during the interview process, especially in ML interviews where surprises are common.

- **Be ready for the unexpected**—interview questions may push you outside your comfort zone, but your response and thought process matter more than perfection.
- **Think out loud**—articulate your assumptions, logic, and uncertainties to help interviewers understand how you approach problems.
- **Show your passion**—talk about what genuinely excites you in ML, whether it's recommender systems, data scale, or experimentation.
- **Connect your interests to the company’s mission or team goals**—this helps show alignment and genuine motivation.
- **Remember, interviewers are hiring a person, not just a resume**—let your curiosity and drive come through.
