I have an academic background and I am trying to move to industry. They asked multiple times why I am switching to industry. I also got a lot of non-data science questions, such as basic algorithms questions (sorting, binary trees, time complexity, etc). So it is a good idea to prepare for both. They gave a scenario and ask me to tell a story from my experience that resembles that scenario (these are related to Amazon leadership skills).
