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?

    You prepare for these by doing specific exercises for them, sad as it may seem.

    Leetcoding problems? You grind them out for a month or two to prepare for doing them during interview loops.

    Mock interviews can help too, to get you better at handling the stress. You can use services/groups for these, or just go interview for random places you’re not necessarily planning to actually say yes to.
