Process

I applied for a Data Engineer position with 3 years of experience.

I received a coding assessment that had 3 SQL questions.

After clearing the assessment, I got an email from HR requesting answers to a few questions, which I provided. They then asked for my availability to schedule a 1-hour technical call.

Questions

All questions were related to my experience in previous projects, which is mostly around Kafka. The main theme was: why Kafka? Why not AWS services?
