2) design a datawarehouse

4) logical questions about datawarehousing concepts
I applied online. The process took 1 week. I interviewed at PLAYSTUDIOS (Austin, TX) in Jul 2020
Interview
I had a phone interview and it didn't progress past that. They asked my salary expectations, and their offer was quite a bit lower than expected, by 20-30k. They asked why I might want a lower position than the one I'm presently in, and I explained that it was because I can't learn anything else from where i presently am. They seemed shocked at that answer.
Thanks for sharing your experience, even though we were not a good match for you. I hope your job search was successful and that you have found a job where you can learn and grow.
I applied online. I interviewed at PLAYSTUDIOS (Tel Aviv-Yafo) in Mar 2020
Interview
I applied online.
The first interview was with an HR person that was very kind. He asked questions in regards to my education, work experience and my expectation from a data scientist role - it went quite well.
Then I got an assignment in SQL, Python and probability questions to complete, and it was quite challenging but went well as well.
The second interview was with the HR person again. It was more about my work experience, my history and more personal details - went well as well.
The third interview was more professional - I was interviewed by the head of data and another senior employee in the data department. They was very straightforward with me, asked questions to see how I think and act when stressed.
I got a negative response a week after this interview indicating they decided to continue with other contenders.

Question 1
Assume that a company is trying to forecast their 2020 revenue and in the end of the year the actual revenue didn’t fit the forecasted.
The executives thinks that its due to Covid19 influence. How would you separate the influence of covid19 on the revenue?
