They just ghosted. Horrible communication and hiring manager didn’t seem engaged. Felt like they were just window shopping candidates. Recruiter kept saying if you are still interested, we will move forward with next round until the last round, and yet they never get back after the final round.

Question 1
Coderpad python and sql, some behavioral and business case
The phone screen was surprisingly in-depth, lasting about 40 minutes and focusing heavily on real-world applications of data science. We discussed model development, particularly for predicting hospital readmissions, which was quite challenging. I had just practiced a similar scenario on PracHub that mirrored this section almost flawlessly. Following this, I went through a technical round where I tackled questions on feature engineering and demographic fairness. Ultimately, I received an offer but decided to decline it after weighing my options.

Question 1
How would you build a model to predict 30-day hospital readmission risk for chronic patients? Walk through your feature engineering using claims and prescription data, model selection tradeoffs (logistic regression vs gradient boosting given explainability requirements for healthcare), how you'd handle class imbalance (around 10% readmission rate), and how you'd evaluate fairness across demographic groups before deployment.
Easy Chill, comfortable, wasnt difficult, more on health and pharmacy stuff,
