If you understand machine learning well, you'll probably do well in the interview.

Selling yourself IMO is a pretty distinct skill. I know great MLEs that suck at interviewing, and people who BS their way through interviews, sound great, then suck at the job.

I disagree.

Especially in SWE interviews

Interviewing, and engineering, in this case coding, are two different skills. There are people that are good at only one.

It's wise if this person to seek advice on something they feel less confident and experienced at. This trait will swerve them well in their life.
