Interview Experiences (1)
I interviewed with Prof. Dubrawski and overall it was… fine, but a bit understated. The conversation was clear and professional, just not very animated. He asked solid, relevant questions about my past work—mostly around applied ML, real-world constraints, and how models behave when the data is messy or weakly labeled. What stood out to me was that the interaction felt pretty contained. He listened carefully, but didn’t ask a lot of follow-up questions, and there wasn’t much back-and-forth. At a few points it felt like he already knew what kind of candidate he was looking for, so the interview felt more like a check for fit than an open-ended conversation. Nothing was uncomfortable or dismissive, just a bit reserved. I found that I had to actively steer the conversation and clearly spell out why my work mattered, instead of waiting for prompts. If you go in, I’d recommend being very direct about what you’ve built, what worked, what didn’t, and how it connects to practical deployment—don’t assume he’ll pull those details out of you. It felt pragmatic and efficient. If you’re comfortable advocating for your own work and keeping things concrete, you’ll probably do fine.
