Just going through the initial interview with the recruiter. She checked my fit with the role, verified things on my resume, and told me the following interview steps. She also asked me to specify more about skills on my resume
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
Any experience with the sampling bias correction? What is your level of proficiency with R or Python?
I applied through an employee referral. I interviewed at Meta (New York, NY) in Jan 2026
Interview
I never know with these interviews whether I'm being too rigorous in my answers or not at all. Some of the questions the interviewer asked were quite odd to me (maybe I was never taught this way in my discipline) so they were confusing at first and I wouldn't have asked them the way they did. Thought I did ok but I didn't advance past the first technical round so can't really speak to what I did wrong.

Question 1
Hypothetical scenario but interviewer left it quite broad, allowed you to stay broad or pick a specific app. Standard technical questions: how you would design a study to understand why users are leaving, what do you need to calculate statistical power. Some behavioral questions as well: which stakeholders would you work with, how would you get feedback from them
Case study, image a social media product and ask some questions on how to identify the issues. The process is about 30-35 minutes and based on the answers, they can many follow up questions on some methods you mentioned.
