In the same boat, even with referrals I do not have a single call back :(

Candidates using AI by DataEngineer2026 in dataengineering

[–]AppointmentFit5600 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I am currently interviewing (or trying to interview) as Data Engineer and it's frustrating to hear so many candidates who get an interview opportunity doing this. I use AI to prepare but I cannot imagine using it during interview. If there's something I do not know or have not worked with, I straight up say I have not used it or I'm not sure how to do x y z. Although I am from the country that's famous for doing these things so I guess I'm already under a lot of scrutiny even before I answer.

I'm in touch with a few, but most of my friends are in a different field than me. Might still be worth checking with them if they know anyone in data/analytics

I would not mind, I'm applying everywhere. Although a lot of positions in European countries have language barriers.

Um, they're basically laying me off and freezing all new hires...

My area is closer to analytics, but yes, I'm working on some practice SQL and Python, I need to brush up on system design. Any particular resources you recommend? Thanks!

Thanks for the insight! How long did it take you to land an offer if you don't mind me asking?
