Scientist Interview Questions

"The questions you are asked in an interview for a position as a scientist will depend greatly on field of science you intend to work in. Generally, interviewers will be interested in your formal education, field of study and specialization, work, internship, and research experience, scientific writing skills, and interest in the subject matter. Expect to be asked technical questions that pertain to the knowledge needed to perform the duties of the job. While there are some positions open to scientists who possess associates' or bachelors' degrees, most jobs will require you to have at least a masters' degree with the majority requiring you to have a doctorate."

I was asked to "cleanse and provide validated "winner_price" data" to feed into an ML pipeline. To do this, I was provided with a CSV file with about 10 rows of data. There was no instruction or data dictionary provided, however, it seemed that each "contract" was bid on by multiple "participants" and the winner was chosen (as per the instructions) as the participant with the lowest bid offer. That means each "participants" field contained a list... important to notice though it wasn't explained at all in the instructions where the winner price was chosen from - that was left for the reader to decipher.
