Google MLE (L4/L5) Interview Guide: ML Design

Recently, a client reached out to me. He has 8 YOE (years of experience), and he is currently an L5 Applied Scientist at Amazon. He wasn’t particularly confident about his ML Design skills, so he came to me for mock interviews.

After a month of preparation, he successfully landed a Google L5 MLE offer in the Bay Area, doubling his salary from $240K+ to $400K+. A large portion of his prep time was dedicated to refining his ML Design skills.
