Hey Zach! I was the hiring manager at Clubhouse at that time. You were in the first batch of data engineers we had ever interviewed, so apologies if some of our wires got crossed in terms of what we asked. At the time, building out our ML feature store was a top priority so that's probably why you got some ML questions. And FWIW I remember you being one of the better people we talked to!
Gosh, Zach now you are giving me FOMO, I decided not to pursue a career as a Data Engineer because I am terrible at mathematics in all aspects of it so I knew I would be setting myself up for failure. Btw I loved this article it showed a human side to you since I am sure a lot of people find you inspirational as thee guy when it comes to Data Engineering.
Thanks for posting this! I always get inspired by your unique content. Learned lot since the days I am following you on LinkedIn and now on Substack. I attended Sumit mittal data engineering course. First thing he would tell his learners to follow Zack Wilson on linked in before you do anything to know great data engineering content but you are above and beyond it sharing your interview experience and how to learn from it.
