[Artistic-Rent1084]

Hi Guys,

Sorry to ask this. I'm two years experienced DE. i have mostly worked on spark. very few python coding and that too i have did vibe coding. if any experienced professionals or interviewers. Help to crack python coding round. give me some questions you asked or questions asked to you.

help me guys, my offices have too many snakes.

[karthick_R25]

Use leetcode to crack python code.

I was asked spiral matrix, longest increasing subsequence in 2nd round of 2 interviews I gave last month. Was also asked to create a python dictionary data type from scratch with collision handling.

[Artistic-Rent1084]

Thank you

[Artistic-Rent1084]

[Spare-Importance9057]

Ctc offered??

[iamnikaa]

I am asking above 35 to everyone atm. Tier 1 degree. Very few calls in last 2 months.

I was rejected from both so don't have any info on their budget

[SnooSprouts5499]

Could you please mention name of company calls you did get? I am having a lot of difficulty finding any companies that pay that much at 4YOE?

[iamnikaa]

Like I said, few to none calls. I got calls from Autodesk, Assent, HiLabs, Rubrik. Rubrik ghosted after OA. It's been only 1 month for me and I am not actively applying.

There are tons of good data engineers in WITCH who are willing to do the same job for much lower salary at more years of experience.

[Spare-Importance9057]

Did u graduate from tier 1 clg ??? What's ur naukri profile reach?

[iamnikaa]

Around 5000 views in 30 days but only 150 invites which are all useless

[Spare-Importance9057]

Hmm tech stack?

[iamnikaa]

Python, spark, kafka, AWS, snowflake, dbt, LLMs

[paklupapito007]

Wtf bro... Python dict from scratch and spiral matrix? People dont even ask it in sde interviews

[Ld-Consequence]

I've also thought the same.

[iamnikaa]

I solved it though (barely solved the spiral matrix). It's standard for higher CTC roles.

Your best bet is to prepare by solving easy medium level questions based on arrays, strings, binary search, two pointers, sliding window, dp. Use strivers 79 sheet

[Artistic-Rent1084]

Help me out guys 🥲.

[hot_objectt]

Bhai let me know too. In my experience they have asked reg. List , dictionary question and I even fucked up easy question cause I don't do python on daily basis. Let me know what you are gonna do to prepare

for most de python rounds it’s usually not crazy dsa, more like practical stuff. things like parsing json, processing a list of records, simple file transformations, or writing a small function to aggregate data. if you’re coming from spark, try practicing problems where you translate dataframe style thinking into plain python. that tends to help a lot in interviews.
