Python not an option for Snowflake interviews?
Currently aiming for database internals roles at Snowflake, Databricks, MongoDB and similar. I have experience with C++, but prefer to code in python for interviews and leetcode style questions. Is it true that Snowflake sends out OA/phone interviews that can only be solved in C++ and Java? What about the other companies? If it's true, any tips to ramp up my cpp leetcode skills in 1-2 months? TC: 114K
Lol really.
It depends on the team. The team I’m interviewing for uses golang or python. So I don’t see a reason why I cannot use python for interview. But maybe it’s different if you are to work on cpp related
There’s no way this is true
Why does the language matter for the interview?
I was able to I think, they didn't ask too much coding question
They didn't ask too many coding questions? What level was this for?
You can code in Python for interviews.
To confirm, you can code in Python for interviews. Whether you should is another matter. My advice would be to code in a language that you are comfortable writing production code in. Or that you can write idiomatically. I've seen candidates use such a limited subset of python that I wonder why they bothered
Recently interviewed with them, did all my coding in Python
