SQL and Python Interview Tips needed ASAP!

My SQL and Python technical round is in 3 days and I need a list of important topics to practice for Python. I have worked on NumPy and Pandas libraries at my current workplace. Need an exhaustive list of topics that you guys have been asked in DA/BA role interviews. The interview is for a Big4 company. Any help is much appreciated!

If it’s a Big 4 company, they might throw in scenario-based questions. Have you prepared for questions like ‘How would you optimize a slow SQL query?’ or ‘How do you handle missing data in Pandas?

Three days is enough if you stay focused! Prioritize SQL joins, window functions, and Pandas data wrangling. You’re already ahead since you have real-world experience! all the best
