Hi all,
So, I've finally made it to the first technical round at Facebook. I almost lost hope of ever working for FAANG but I'm so grateful that I've got a chance now.

Role: Data Engineer, Product Analytics

So the first technical round is scheduled in the first week of May, which gives me a month to prepare. The interview will be mostly on SQL and Python. I'm confident with SQL but have not been coding (my present role doesn't need it) as much but I keep practicing general data manipulation problems from DataCamp.

I've been told that for Python I'll be expected to have a knowledge of DS and Algo, I did study it in school but don't remember anything now. I'm looking to brush up and get going with problem solving from LeetCode and Hackerrank.

For SQL, I keep practicing from LeetCode and Hackerrank.

I would really appreciate if you guys can guide me to things I should be preparing myself on.

I'm attaching the Initial Interview Guide I received in email for

Thank you all for your help and reading this post.

    You can practice questions from glassdoor for Python that would be enough

      Nothing crazy. The recruiter was very calm and precise, she mentioned what the DE team does and what to expect from this role. I just told her how much I enjoy building things and help teams succeed.

      Oh sorry to hear that. So after the phone screening, another coordinator reached out next day to schedule the interview. If I were you, I will reach out the recruiter again.
