Can you share your interview experience ?
Hey. 2 interviews 1. Technical screening. (SQL and a little bit of leadership principle (LP) based) 2. Final interviews (5 rounds) 2.1 Scripting (very basic python and LP 2.2 SQL (questions about data modeling, SQL queries based on the given schema, pipeline/ETL designing 2.3 LP and Basic Algorithm question 2.4 LP 2.5 LP and SQL
What does “basic” refers in 2.3 ?
What are basic algorithm questions in 2.3 ? LC easy and medium ? I am good at Sql but not much in algorithms. So thinking if i can try interviewing or not.
Hi @ParksNrec - Same. I think I bombed the Algo part. What I realized they were just looking for how do I approach the problem. Database queries and Database modeling is still the main thing I would say you should focus on. PS: Updated post
Thank you for the reply and the document shared! Also can I know how you got the interview call in this covid times. Recruiter reached out or applied directly? I didn’t have any luck with ATS systems when I was graduating. Offer looks good btw 👍
Hi...Congratulations on your offer. I have a verbal offer from Amazon for a similar L5 data engineer position in Irvine, CA. I have 15 years of experience but in healthcare domain. I am going to speak with the recruiter next week, so hoping I can get something similar. Should I shoot for more given my additional experience?
You should definitely get more since CA is premium market
Thanks..will keep that in mind.
Congrats on the offer! I’m going through the process currently as well.
Great offer, salary bands have gone up for sure. I joined in 2018 and was given 149k base 45k bonus for 2 yrs and 35 shares. I was told that I'm at high L5 level. Also salary bands went up a lot in Jan this year I believe. At l6 now I'm making around 230k (entry level at l6)
