Interview
Both the interviews went great after the second round, I was told that I am not selected but could not give the reason for it. Even after following multiple times.
The first round was a technical interview focused on Python, SQL, and data engineering concepts such as ETL pipelines and data processing. The second round was a managerial-technical discussion where I was asked about real-world project experience, problem-solving approaches, and system design scenarios. The final round was an HR discussion covering behavioral questions, salary expectations, and overall fit for the role.
