Interview
After submitting my resume, I received a home assignment with one week to complete it. Later, I attended two interviews that included personal and professional questions about my experience, previous projects, problem-solving skills, and relevant technical knowledge.
The process started with an online assessment (OA) that included SQL and data-related questions. The technical interview focused on core data engineering concepts such as normalization, joins, and a self-join problem, along with some discussion on data modeling and query optimization.
