Interview
Two back-to-back 45-minute interview rounds with SQL-based questions, Statistics, and Leetcode questions. The second 45 minutes talks about behavioral and Data Modelling questions. The behavioural was situation based as I have to talk about them using the STAR approach while incorporating the leadership principles.
