Data analyst - python interviews
Hi everyone, I have interviews coming up for some companies (teladoc, oportun, Getty images etc.) for data analyst/scientist roles. They are asking for majority of interviews in sql, but some short interviews in python. The roles are not extremely focused on python according to jd. What should I brush up in python for interviews? #dataanalyst #dataanalytics #interview #teladoc #oportun #gettyimages #data #datascience #jobsearch
Itโs usually pandas-related stuff (basically just SQL-style questions expressed in Python/Pandas). Just refresh yourself with that API and youโll be fine. Unless they pull a random data structures/algo question out of nowhere, Iโve had that happen :)
For pandas etc, till what extent should I prepare for syntax ?
Most places will let you look at the Pandas docs as you go so itโs not really necessary to memorize the exact names of keyword arguments or anything, but you should have familiarity with the important methods.

You should first figure out whether the Python interviews are algorithms and data structures, or Pandas / data manipulation, or something else.

For analyst roles and even most data science roles the latter is way more common though.
