Tips-

1. Utilise Kaggle as much , practice on a variety of datasets / competitions , Kaggle

top notebooks , discussion forums of competitions.
2. Don’t skip maths behind the algorithm ,why you are using this particular algorithm
3. Practice past interview questions ( krish naik mock interview series)
4. Listen podcasts and read blogs
5. Try to read some research papers and implement them ( paper with code )
