Interview process

The process was pretty straightforward. The recruiter reached out over LinkedIn, asked a bunch of questions, and then we went into the case study and the SQL round. I believe I passed the SQL round but didn't quite get past the case study round because I didn't really present my understanding of the business and all the different funnels to the best that I could. That's something to really watch out for.
