Prepare for your next data engineering interview with one place to revise, practise and improve your resume.
I put this kit together for learners who want a clear preparation path and working engineers who need to revisit SQL, Spark, cloud, projects and system design.
WHAT YOU GET
• 25 interview PDFs covering SQL, Python, PySpark, Spark, Hadoop, HBase, Kafka, Airflow, Azure, AWS, GCP and CI/CD, plus a learning roadmap and interview question bank.
• Those PDFs also include guides on dbt, Snowflake, system design, end-to-end projects, cost and performance, data quality, case studies, take-home assignments, product-company interviews, resume and LinkedIn preparation, and behavioural and leadership rounds.
• 3 downloadable lab packs, each with a START_HERE guide.
• 5 editable DOCX resume files: Data Engineer, Cloud Engineer and AI Engineer templates, plus 2 clearly fictional worked examples.
HANDS-ON PRACTICE
SQL & PySpark Lab v1: 5 scenarios on order updates, refunds, login streaks, late data and reconciliation, with practice and solution notebooks, fixtures, expected outputs and checks.
PySpark Lab v2: 5 labs on CDC, SCD Type 2, nested JSON and schema drift, clickstream sessions and data skew.
Local + Azure Recovery Lab: start with the local recovery exercise. No Azure account is needed for the local path. The optional Azure path needs your own subscription or eligible trial, may incur charges and has not been live-tested. A hosted Azure sandbox is not included.
A convenient link to the public SQL + Python browser workbench is included. It is free and open to everyone, and does not host the PySpark labs. Refreshing resets your work, so copy any code you want to keep.
HOW TO START
1. Click Get Interview Kit and complete your purchase to access the attached files.
2. Download the PDFs, lab ZIPs and editable resumes. Read each lab’s START_HERE guide before setup.
3. Pick your weakest interview topic. Attempt the questions or lab, check the solution, then practise explaining your decisions aloud.
Personalise the resume templates with your own experience. The fictional examples are for learning and must not be submitted as your CV.
