Dear AgilOne, please do not waste my time!
The recruiter found me online, and contacted me saying I am a good fit. I sent in my resume. The recruiter messaged me Friday afternoon requesting a phone interview 3 hours later. It was a ridiculous time, but I granted her anyways.
On the phone, I found out the position was actually in San Francisco, not New York. The data scientist role is about customer service, talking to clients, and some data analysis.
After the call, I concluded this start-up is clueless. It just wanted talk to prospective candidates and see their resume to get a feel of the market.
My advice: don't feed these trolls and let them get lost!
