Data Engineer Interview Questions

20,979 data engineer interview questions shared by candidates

Asked by the interviewer a "Data Engineer" to join 2 tables together to label start/end of a track play , only when I proposed a working solution he diverted me to another solution that he had in mind all along, thinking it was better as it didn't require window functions, but it did require them. He just didn't know they are called window functions. Admittedly, the "Data Engineer" said he hasn't worked on spark in a while, and is quite junior.
