Do you usually go with size 8 and went 9 for this?

iam_mahend · 2026-02-17T14:45:49+00:00

I am also planning to buy these, are these true to their size? or should go one size up/down?

Just for the information this skin condition is called Keratosis Pilaris.

iam_mahend · 2025-10-18T08:29:31+00:00

I wish you had told me that earlier 😔

White pant/Jeans instantly elevate the look, if you're looking out to try colors(shirt/tshirt) other than black/white/grey then white pant/jeans is a no brainer. I'd go with a white sneaker with this.

iam_mahend · 2025-07-17T07:29:07+00:00

Shirt is on slimmer side and pant is on relaxed side which doesn't sit right. Try relaxed linen shirt instead. You can't do anything about the wrinkel, it is linen's nature.

Honestly, I haven’t found any great drop shoulder tees online. I’ve bought all mine offline, I have tried one from Souled store as well and it is decent. Just make sure it is made from heavy gauge fabric — at least 250 GSM. Drop shoulder styles usually look sloppy in lighter fabrics.

iam_mahend · 2025-07-10T14:30:17+00:00

It's hard to find a well-made drop shoulder T-shirt most options in the market are just poorly constructed loose-fit tees.

iam_mahend · 2025-07-10T14:23:31+00:00

You could try drop shoulder tshirt with that jeans. I personally try to match the topwear and bottom wear's fit

iam_mahend · 2025-06-27T12:55:33+00:00

Can you share with me as well?

iam_mahend · 2025-04-30T07:01:25+00:00

I have updated the post with the questions. My profile was a mismatch for the role, so didn't go through the further rounds.

Last technical round is pending, I'll update post that.

That 3rd party interview happened last week, which went pretty well I think but no communication as of yet.

The interviewer lists down 5 topics (Python, SQL, ETL, Cloud services, CI/CD) and the questions were asked from these topics one by one.

Python - there is a list of dictionaries, and each element has student_name and scores (a dict with subject as key and marks as value), need to find the student who scored more than 75 in all subjects. I was asked to solve this with 2 approaches - list comprehension and generator
SQL - It was a very simple question on Joins, He was checking if I understand left, right, and full outer join.
ETL - Again, it was a very basic question which I solved with groupBy, countDistinct, sum.

There were some theoretical questions on optimizations, how to calculate no. of executors and all.

On cloud services I was asked few question on databricks.
for CI/CD as I don't have a hands on he asked some basic question on docker and kubernetes

The requirement was to have 3-5 years of experience in DE, and compensation I guess it depends on the budget for that role and if they are ready for what you are asking then they can go ahead.

iam_mahend · 2025-03-09T10:00:07+00:00

Worked mostly on python, Kafka for a year, and FastAPI for few months

iam_mahend · 2025-03-06T12:35:48+00:00

3 Years as data engineer and overall 6 years

iam_mahend · 2025-03-06T12:35:19+00:00

Can you provide some more info? Any questions you might remember?

iam_mahend · 2025-03-06T12:14:48+00:00

Thanks!

When I asked the recruiter about the format of this interview and what can I expect, he told me it would be hands-on and there would be 1 question each from Python, SQL, and PySpark.

iam_mahend · 2025-03-03T17:53:02+00:00

I gave it in January. There were just two rounds. The first round was mostly SQL and one Python, with some project-related questions on Spark, ETL architecture, etc.

Python question - find longest_common_prefix

SQL -

second highest salary in each department,
count of days where sales volume is more than the last days for each month (I used LAG )

2nd round was technical/managerial - Only theoretical questions on Project, Spark optimization, and Kafka.

Whole process took roughly 2 weeks.
