The process started with a recruiter screening where we discussed my background, the role expectations, and some logistics. The recruiter was friendly and gave me a clear idea of the next steps. The technical round came next and included a mix of SQL, probability, and machine learning questions. I was able to answer most of them confidently, though there were a couple of curveballs—especially around feature engineering for time-series data. The interviewer was professional but a bit reserved, so it was hard to gauge how I was doing in real-time.
