I was expecting a technical interview, especially since this role requires advanced Excel and SQL skills. However, they did not ask any Excel-related questions. The SQL questions were very conceptual and general, which made it unclear how they assess candidates' technical expertise. It felt more like they were evaluating team fit and work style rather than actual technical proficiency.
