Can you kindly help me smash my Friday Data Engineer interview?
Hello r/dataengineering
Please could you kindly help me in understanding this presentation stimulus?
On Friday at 2pm, I have a second interview where I am required to present for 10 mins on:
“CI/CD pipeline that deploys R code onto AWS Lambda”
I'm interviewing for a Data Engineer position at an organisation which has petabyte-level data, rich and juicy.
The head of the department who interviewed me on the phone for the first round knew I only knew basic Python, and have no knowledge of R or AWS.
I think therefore, that this is a challenge to see how much I can learn and understand about a technical topic in a short period of time. I am considering you a wealthy resource of information from which to learn from, and would be very grateful for any guidance you might have on understanding these components in addition to my own reading.
Continuous Integration/Continuous Deployment Pipeline
Amazon Web Services Lambda
My learning process tomorrow and up until the interview will be:
- High level concept explanations from Wikipedia, Reddit ELi5/ youtube introductory videos
- Original Company Literature
- Examples on Github and Stackoverflow if applicable
- General web search
Any guidance or pointing to resources is helpful! I'll buy you all a drink if I get the job!
About me: I'm trying to transition from mechanical engineering into data engineering, have learnt a tiny bit of Python https://github.com/out-liar This would be my first real job after 2.5 years of internships in technical roles, and I want le moneh 2 help my mum and sister out financially :)
I also have to sit a 20 min RANRA test, which I think stands for Rust Advanced Numerical Reasoning Appraisal. Any advice on practicing it would be highly appreciated, although not directly relevant to this sub.
Thank you for your knowledge, thoughts and time!
