“The interview process was pretty smooth and well-structured. It started with an initial screening where the focus was mainly on my background, especially my experience with SQL, reporting, and working with financial data. The interviewer also wanted to understand how comfortable I am with things like data validation, data warehousing, and supporting reporting systems. Then the conversation went a bit deeper into technical areas—things like query optimization, how I handle performance issues, and when to use tools like SSRS versus Power BI. There was also some focus on how I work with different data sources and ensure data accuracy, especially in a financial context. Overall, it felt more like a discussion than a strict Q&A. The interviewer was trying to understand how I think, how I approach problems, and whether my experience is hands-on. Toward the end, they explained the next steps, which involve meeting additional team members for further evaluation.”
