Interview tomorrow

Discussion

I currently am an analyst for a retailer and forecast sales at a very granular level and top line level. I applied for a role on a forecasting team with a large company (it’s for forecasting call volume) and I have an interview tomorrow.

The jd said analytics to solve business problems, programming / analytic skills (python, hive, sql), experience working with large data sets, Tableau. Preferred - advanced STEM degree or masters degree. The pay range does seem low for these degrees though (85k ish)

In my application and in the first call I talked about how I have been learning Python for analytics and have built time Prophet & SARIMAX and XGBoost models that have been accurate and that I work with Tableau and large data sets, but I was clear that I have no comp sci or STEM education (business management degree) and use AI for writing the python coding. The recruiter said it’s fine and there’s no test, and she said if this doesn’t work she wants to find another spot for me, but I’m interviewing with 2 managers that have PHDs in economics and analytics.

I feel like I am very under qualified and will be completely transparent about how I use AI to write my code, am I going to embarrass myself tomorrow?
