Data Engineer Interview Experience - United States

Process
Recruiter call. Phone screen on CoderPad. Was told there would be Python and SQL questions, but the interviewer never asked any SQL questions.
It felt more like a software engineer interview than a DE interview. The interviewer was not very professional. They told me that I could search the internet or use AI at the end of the interview.
