I am a finance phd on the job market with a stats background before my phd. I see that during the flyouts faculty ask me stats questions instead of finance questions, intuition etc.
I feel that, in their eyes I am stats phd, not a finance phd.
Am i being overly sensitive or does it happen? my 2 flyouts kind of bombed because of these stats questions, i have only 2 left and want to land a job.
OP here, though I have stats major before my PhD, my skills are not updated in the last 5 years and ontop, I can not be compared to a Stats PhD. The questions that I faced are very high level Stats PhD questions that you don't expect a PhD finance fellow to answer.
This is ridiculous, if the interviewers (they are not stats profs!) can ask questions at that level, you are supposed to answer them well.
