Requirements

Are you preparing for a Data Engineering interview with top product-based companies, MNCs, or startups?
This course is your one-stop preparation guide — designed to help you crack interviews at FANG/MANG and beyond.

Inside, you’ll find:

-> 101 Most Asked Interview Questions — covering SQL, ETL, Data Warehousing, Big Data (Spark/Hadoop), Cloud Data Engineering (AWS/GCP/Azure), Python, Data Modeling, and System Design.
-> Detailed Explanations with Real Examples — each question comes with slides + voiceover-style breakdowns to make concepts crystal clear.
-> Scenario-Based & Behavioral Questions — learn how to answer “pipeline failure” or “wrong data in production” confidently.
-> Mock Interview Simulations — practice with end-to-end rounds combining technical + behavioral questions.

=> What makes this course different?

Unlike theory-heavy courses, this one focuses on real-world, interview-style answers.
Each answer is structured into:

  • Slide 1: Question + Context (why it’s asked)
  • Slide 2: Key Points to Cover (must-have points)
  • Voiceover Script: A natural, human-style explanation with real project scenarios

By the end of this course, you’ll be able to:

  • Answer any SQL, Big Data, or Cloud interview question with confidence
  • Handle system design and architecture questions for data platforms
  • Communicate behavioral answers like a pro
  • Approach real interviews with a structured preparation strategy

=> Who is this course for?

  • Aspiring Data Engineers preparing for their first job interviews
  • Working professionals aiming to switch into FANG/MANG or Tier-1 companies
  • Software Developers, BI Engineers, and Analysts transitioning into Data Engineering
  • Students or graduates looking to master interview skills before placements

=> Why take this course?

Because interviews don’t test just knowledge — they test how you explain it.
This course will teach you what to say, how to say it, and how to stand out from other candidates.
