This is a take home assignment for the ML Engineer position at Indeed.
** Being a job search engine, it’s helpful if Indeed can suggest an approximate salary to job seekers for a given job post. Your first task as an Indeed Data Scientist is to develop a salary prediction system.**
The goal: Provide estimated salaries for a new job posting.
How does this help Indeed Flex?
- A user of the job search engine is able to get an approximate salary for a job they are seeking.
- Indeed Flex can use the system to determine the most searched jobs.
Using the data provided, I build a salary prediction model that is able to provide approximate salaries for job seekers based on their education level, industry, major and proximity to a metropolitan area.
8 models are tested on the transformed dataset, where categorical features are one hot encoded, and 2 models are tested on the dataset without transforming categorical features. Root Mean Squared Error is used as an evaluation metric.
