Interviews to Data Scientist role

After almost year of self study of Data Science courses via Coursera, DSE program and another MOOC pages I had chance to go to Data Scientist role interviews. So far two.

First one was a couple weeks ago I was in interview to the Researcher / Data Scientist position. Mainly about prediction models, math, statistics and data mining/machine learning. Mostly in R connected with Hadoop and some other mathematical tools. This was the first for such position.

Second one was a couple days ago and it was interview to the purely Data Scientist position. Including all data science work from many different sources with project driven or data driven approach, it depends. This was most recent experience and I hope not a last one.
