How do you guys do it? I just had my first encounter yesterday for a data engineering job and I sincerely fucked up. My mind went completely blank, I was thinking along all the wrong lines and I think I didn’t even correctly understand the question, because there were all these words that I’ve never heard of.

How do you even prepare for something like that?

    What words do you mean?

    Also that exercise is not about solving a problem but to observe how you would tackle the problem. And you do that, by asking questions when something is unclear, so you can actually formulate a solution on your head and then bring it onto paper, preferable in a programming language you know or pseudo code.
