Entrevista
The technical interview consisted in a conf call with two Spotify Data Engineers. It begins with a few general data structure questions such as when to use a linked list, what are the different ways to search an element in a binary tree, followed by some more statistical questions and big data common issues.
Then we move to the coding part. I was asked to code a function to build the Pascal's triangle, I did it in a functional way, then in an iterative way and I was asked how to improve the complexity of my algorithm. I did struggle a bit on that part.
We ended with some SQL queries to write, nothing difficult.

Received an offer for an interview with a recruiter around early March, it was 20 minutes and the recruiter was very sweet! I was asked about my background, she asked me to elaborate on specific experiences on my resume, challenges I encountered, what technical frameworks I used, the standard questions. It was very straightforward and I received the offer later that day for the final round interview consisting of a 45 min behavorial interview and a 45 min technical interview.
