United StatesPosted Feb 2021 · Candidate report, summarized by Dataford

My technical round stuck very close to fundamentals and how I explained them.

It began with a simple introduction, and then it moved straight into statistical knowledge.

I was asked things like how I’d form a confidence interval for a binomial proportion, how I would think about estimating variance, and how to find an estimator using Bayes. It felt like a check on both correctness and clarity—whether I could reason through the math and still communicate it cleanly.

When it ended, I also got the chance to ask questions back, and that made the round feel complete even though it was clearly challenging.
