Interview Tips

Jeshwanth Premkumar

Hi everyone, I would love to learn more about what a typical Data Engineer interview process looks like at Royal Bank of Canada (RBC). How much emphasis is placed on Python during the interview process? Is Data Structures and Algorithms (DSA) an important component, or is the focus more on SQL, ETL pipelines, cloud technologies, and data engineering concepts? Any insights on the interview rounds, technical expectations, or preparation tips would be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance.
