What Interviewers Evaluate

Frequently Asked Questions

Which data warehouse should I focus on?

Snowflake and BigQuery are most in-demand, followed by Databricks and Redshift. Understanding the architectural differences between them and when to choose each shows platform engineering maturity.

Is this more data engineering or analytics?

It sits between both. You build the infrastructure that data engineers feed into and analysts consume from. Strong SQL, data modeling, and infrastructure skills are essential, along with understanding of BI tools and analytical workflows.

What BI tools should I know?

Looker, Tableau, Power BI, and Metabase are commonly expected. Understanding how these tools connect to your platform, how to optimize their queries, and how to design semantic layers that serve them is key.

How important is dbt?

Very important. dbt has become central to modern analytics engineering. Understanding dbt models, tests, documentation, and how dbt fits into the broader analytics platform architecture is frequently tested.
