Welcome to your interview.

The question is on your right: Prioritize Across Competing Data Projects. Take a moment with it first.

Talk your thinking through with me if you like - when you're confident, submit your answer and I'll grade it like a real screen (7/10 or better passes). Discussion and graded submissions share your five interviewer interactions, so spend them well.

Problem

Scenario

You're supporting multiple data science efforts at once, and several important tasks are competing for your time. Some work is urgent, some is high impact but less time-sensitive, and different stakeholders are pushing for different outcomes.

Question

How do you prioritize competing tasks when you're working on multiple projects at the same time?
