Interview Preparation Tips

General Tips: Be pretty confident on the current project you are working on. It's ok that you do not know the complete technology but you should have the complete picture of stuff you are working on. Be clear as to why are using specific technology for your project and not the other one. For example, i worked on azure and drilled my way to understand the edge azure has over aws. I did good work onto why are we using hive language and azure data ware house for our project instead of using u-sql and azure SQL data base. Do not bluff, better be humble to accept that we are not fully aware of something and given a chance to work on, we will. And last thing, smile and appreciate the effort put in by interviewer.
