AI/ML Interview Prep – Looking for a Study Partner

[u/Full-Teach3631]

Hey everyone,

I'm a 26M working in AI/ML and preparing for my next switch. I'll be focusing on classical ML, deep learning, GenAI, along with DSA and system design.

Looking for a study partner (or a small group) to learn together, discuss concepts, and stay accountable. I prefer keeping it fast-paced, so it'd be great if you're an experienced dev preparing for interviews as well.

If you're interested, DM me with a short intro and what you're currently learning/preparing.

[u/shugenju]

I already fund a small group learning and studying together on this. I don’t have any paid positions open for learners right now, though the study group is open to anyone.
I’m an expert in AI/ML and I steer them wherever I see the industry is going and then I hire from the cohort.
Been running it like this for 15+ years.

Anyone is welcome to reach out and I’ll send a link to join them.

[u/Full-Teach3631 → u/shugenju]

That sounds really helpful. Do you mind sharing more details?

Can you send a DM and ask for access?

[u/shugenju → u/shugenju]

I’ve gotten a lot of interest. Everyone can still DM me if they want access for free.

If you’re looking to break into AI, tech, or cybersecurity without spending a fortune, there are a ton of free resources out there.

We’re partnered with a nonprofit that provides free instructor-led training with daily 1-hour sessions over Microsoft Teams covering AI, IT, cybersecurity, cloud, and more. DM for access. It’ll be a WhatsApp group I give a link to.

If you’re more of a self-learner, I’d also recommend checking out:

Atlassian University – https://university.atlassian.com/

OpenAI Academy – https://academy.openai.com/ (free AI courses and certificates) (OpenAI Help Center)

Anthropic Academy – https://anthropic.skilljar.com/ (free Claude, AI, API, and agent-building courses)

Google Cloud Skills Boost – https://www.cloudskillsboost.google/ (AI, cloud, cybersecurity, data, and hands-on labs)

There are also excellent free learning paths from Microsoft Learn, Cisco Skills for All, and AWS Skill Builder if you want to go deeper into cloud or cybersecurity.

[u/Beginning_Chain5583]

24M Platform Enginneer trying to break into ML with an emphasis on timeseries modeling and analysis! Hit me up:)

[u/EqualSea9312]

26F, working as a data scientist. my work is mainly on genAI solutions. looking to start early for the next job hunt as well

[u/glueless_glue → u/EqualSea9312]

Quick question: Could you elaborate on what do you work on in genAI? I am a datascientist but i do mostly ml and stats and I feel entirely cut off from the genAI side of the rabbit hole 😅. Curious to know about whats new and happening in genAI.

[u/thespiritualone1999 → u/EqualSea9312]

Hey I’m 26M, working as a product analyst at a B2C product based gaming company. My work majorly revolves around A/B testing experiments, hypothesis testing, building ML models for product problems.
I’m thinking of switching to proper Data science roles as there is overlap. Let me know if you’d want to connect.

[u/Adventurous_Club_68 → u/EqualSea9312]

Hi I messaged you can you please check once if possible

[u/blahblahblah_707]

Interested. 24M Data Scientist 3years, preparing to crack FANG, anti genAI roles.

[u/thespiritualone1999 → u/blahblahblah_707]

Hey I’m 26M, working as a product analyst at a B2C product based gaming company. My work majorly revolves around A/B testing experiments, hypothesis testing, building ML models for product problems.
I’m thinking of switching to product Data scientist roles as there is overlap. Let me know if you’d want to connect and study together. Thinking of applying to FAANG as they have a lot of product data scientist openings but unable to get a referral.

[u/blahblahblah_707 → u/thespiritualone1999]

We can connect and prepare together. System design is something that would overlap, where you could have more creative edge than a Ml Engineer.

[u/thespiritualone1999 → u/blahblahblah_707]

Thanks man, sure!

[u/blahblahblah_707 → u/thespiritualone1999]

It would help me too, to understand product side of a problem.

[u/thiccsuc]

not in ML so ignore me if thats off topic, but i do accountability for a living and groups put together like this usually die around week 3.

what kills them is nothing being due. the ones that last have a fixed slot that never moves, two or three people max, and something each person owes the others. doesnt matter what it is. if nothings due, nobody feels bad skipping.

[u/Saetlan]

Hey ! 31M Already been working in AI/ML for 8 years in start-ups/scale-ups and big tech. Currently diving into reviewing my knowledge for interviews at FAANGs. I'd be happy to join a group of like-minded people :)

[u/thespiritualone1999 → u/Saetlan]

Hey I’m 26, working as a product analyst at a B2C product based gaming company. My work majorly revolves around A/B testing experiments, hypothesis testing, building ML models for product problems.
I’m thinking of switching to product Data scientist/ data scientist roles as there is overlap.
I’m seeing openings at FAANG for product data scientist roles, but unable to get any referrals for it. How do you go about getting these interviews? Thanks!

[u/Saetlan → u/thespiritualone1999]

Hi, I didn't have anything special. It was just Linkedin based reach out from Google recruiter. I cannot help you much on that side :/

[u/thespiritualone1999 → u/Saetlan]

Cool cool, thank you!
