This video is your HILARIOUS guide to the WORST data science practices to NEVER USE AT WORK (Seriously, don't try this at home). From overfitting like a bad suit to cherry-picking p-values like a fruit basket, we'll show you how to become an office legend (or cautionary tale) in no time.
Want to impress everyone with your "complex" data skills? Learn how to baffle them with 4D pie charts and holographic scatter plots so confusing they'll need a decoder ring to understand.
Plus, discover:
◉ Correlation = Causation (Ice cream causes shark attacks? )
◉ The Illusion of Precision (99.999999% accurate, obvs)
◉ The Infinite Features Technique (More features = More Genius, right?)
◉ The Time Traveler's Forecast (Predict the Titanic sinking...from the future! )
⚠️ Warning: This video is for entertainment purposes only. Do not try any of these practices at your real job. You will get fired. ⚠️
Share this video with your data science friends who need a good reminder of the right way to do things.

#FacebookDataScienceInterview Advanced Facebook Data Science SQL interview question [RANK()]](https://i.ytimg.com/vi/PlpUo6bHsBQ/mqdefault.jpg)

![Advanced Data Science SQL Interview Question [Amazon] (window functions & aliasing)
This SQL data science interview question was asked by Amazon and will test your date manipulation and window function skills. I’ll cover both the question and walk you through the approach. I’ll also talk about my 4 step approach to solving any data science interview question. This is literally how I would answer every data science interview question and prepare for every data science interview at FAANG companies and others.

![Data Project: Analyzing Review Sentiment for Accurate Ratings [Part 1]
Welcome to the second series of the Facebook data science project for predicting movie ratings! In this video, we explore building a high-performance classification algorithm to predict movie ratings. We merge two data sets, focusing on review sentiment to determine whether a movie is labeled as Rotten or Fresh. Join us as we preprocess the data, analyze the distribution of review types, and implement a random forest model. Dont forget to subscribe and stay tuned for the next video in our series!
