Data Engineering Interviews Are Broken (Here's Proof)
📰 Dev.to · DataDriven
Data engineering interviews are flawed due to over-reliance on LeetCode, lengthy take-homes, and AI tools, and need to be revamped to better assess candidate skills
Action Steps
- Assess current interview processes for data engineering roles
- Evaluate the effectiveness of LeetCode and take-homes in testing relevant skills
- Research alternative assessment methods that focus on practical problem-solving
- Consider incorporating real-world project simulations or case studies
- Develop a more comprehensive evaluation framework that includes soft skills and collaboration
