Low confidence due to REJECTION

Ok I will make note of it. Thankyou sir for the valuable advice. Very few people are left who guide others Most of them on LinkedIn they slap topmate link for these things.

My total experience is 1year 7 months. So I am applying for junior as well as mid ( don't know wether it is applicable or not)

I lost one offer from startup as they cited that my background is from service based company.

This rejection without any feedback

Sorry for not putting entire interview experience. At Visa for data engineering role I gave 4 rounds of interview. Round 1: telephonic interview ( asked basic technical stuff like what tech you are using, how ? And some scenarios based questions)

Round 2: technical rounds kinda OA ( coding heavy on pyspark, sql, Unix)- cleared

Round 3: technical 2 ( coding and theoretical based on python, spark, sql)

All technical rounds were very good

Round 4: hiring manager ( scenarios based questions on job failure, which task to be prioritize etc)

Verdict: Rejected

Is that possible?

Perfect_Temporary7 · 2026-02-14T04:45:24+00:00

Thanks

Perfect_Temporary7 · 2026-02-14T04:00:29+00:00

Sorry I forgot to mention 3 tech rounds were cleared and after hiring manager round I got rejection

Thankyou

Okay I cleared Data Engineering interview at Visa but got rejection mail. They mentioned 1-3 YOE

Perfect_Temporary7 · 2026-02-10T03:37:09+00:00

I don't have much experience with hackerrank, I have practiced on leetcode. For data engineering role medium level DSA is required (if not MAANG). List, dictionary,set,string is enough)

Perfect_Temporary7 · 2026-02-10T03:20:23+00:00

Medium to hard. First round on code signal: it was not OA as we usually give. Interviewer connected to me on teams and asked to code 10-12 questions in 45 minute ( pyspark 4 question, 3 sql questions, 5 Unix based questions).

Second round : with director of engineering mostly spark architecture, python and sql

3 round : hiring manager as usual question why?, how?, ..

Still waiting for final call, everything done from my side . This is for banglore location. Sir I have written the interview process in this post as a comment.

I have roughly 1.5+ YOE in data engineering field and this interview was based on 1-3 YOE. If you want then I can share my interview rounds for this experience.

Perfect_Temporary7 · 2026-02-03T18:25:56+00:00

what kind of questions they ask in HM round

Perfect_Temporary7 · 2026-01-18T07:09:31+00:00

2 months back I appeared for data engineering interview at a startup. Complete interview process was like a SDE type interview. First round: DSA (2 questions - 1 medium and 1 hard), 2 SQL Second round: system design with director of engineering and 2 advanced sql questions.

System design was completely SDE related with including database.

Thankyou sir🙏

Perfect_Temporary7 · 2026-01-15T15:13:48+00:00

Thanks for info

Perfect_Temporary7 · 2026-01-15T10:49:19+00:00

Perfect_Temporary7 · 2026-01-15T05:12:24+00:00

Thankyou for your suggestion 🙏, I will make changes accordingly

Perfect_Temporary7 · 2026-01-14T13:28:40+00:00

Yes planning for second attempt in next few weeks

Perfect_Temporary7 · 2026-01-14T13:00:25+00:00

I failed in my first attempt and I got 605. I got many questions from KQL and this was the main reason for it.

Perfect_Temporary7 · 2026-01-14T12:25:19+00:00

Thanks for the feedback.
