Course Overview
Do you want to ace your SQL tech or data science interview? This Is the perfect resource for you!
You want to make sure you are ready for your tech/data science interview?
Do you want to learn from an instructor who works for one of the FAANG companies?
Great! Perhaps it was chance that brought you here, but now that you have found this resource, you are a step closer to building a deliberate strategy. You will learn how to focus on doing mock interviews with real interview questions and in a real interview style.
Please bear in mind that this is not an Intro to SQL course that goes in depth about every single concept and function available for you to work with. Instead, this is a resource that will help you ace the job interview and get hired, provided that you have already learned the SQL basics.
If you are looking for a guided walkthrough and coaching through 10 mock interviews – this is the right course for you.
Tina’s 5-step framework will prepare you to tackle any SQL interview question. You will find out what interviewers want to hear from you. Learning how to interact with them is a fundamental skill you will need to master. Oftentimes, potential employers will challenge your assumptions and ask for your thoughts simply because they want to see how you deal with unexpected situations and challenges. You must find a way to keep the conversation going and know how to shrug off any mistakes you make throughout the interview!
The goal of this course is for you to have done the SQL interview at least 10 times – so, when the real interview comes, it just feels like another practice round.

This is a good answer. However, in the middle of Mock Interview 6, the interviewer introduced another question about user segmentation by city_ids. The interviewee did not address this question, which seems to have been overlooked.

yes, I had no idea what to expect in these types of interviews; now I do and have a method to mitigate failure

TL;DR poorly scripted, no response on Q&A, lacks in-depth analysis of each interview to improve understanding of the interview criteria and approach from the interviewee. I wouldn't recommend it but it is one of only a couple of interview courses on SQL. Tina could have done a lot better, but I guess there wasn't enough incentive. They should redo the course. This course really needs a lot of refinement and editing. Results of queries are not shown. Feedback from the interviewer is never provided. Each video pretty much ends with Tina saying that it looks good. What would help is if there was commentary about the interview after to discuss what the interviewer was looking for in the interviewee and whether that objective was accomplished. The interviews are poorly scripted, Tina keeps saying "ok, cool" as a filler for silence. It would be better if she wrote the notes on the screen as to what she was understanding. Often her questions to the interviewer are not relevant to the problem statement, it's as if she's just asking questions to ask something rather than asking poignant questions that clarify what the interviewer is looking for in the query. I asked questions in the Q&A but they were never responded to by the 365 careers or Tina. Lastly, I suspect a lot of the reviews are just her friends. For example Ken Jee is one of the 5-star reviewers and he is one of the people in the course and he works for 365 careers. How many other reviews are just from friends or employees of 365 careers? That skews the overall rating. Smaller content creators don't have that advantage even when they create good content and answer their Q&A. Sorry but unless the course is improved my rating is just 1-star.

Mock Interviews are great, but would be better , if we had those tables resources, to try them on our own.
