For someone who's targeting a big data engineer role, what should be the key focus areas to clear interviews? (considering they do not have hands on experience)

Don't target big companies then if you don't have hands on experience

That's fine. What would be the expectation from small-mid sized firms then?

Lots of talk about CohnReznick on here lately… let’s address a few points.

1) Yes, our salaries are in line with B4. Happy to discuss specifics with the skeptics.
2) We are one of the few firms still actively hiring people without FDD experience.
3) Our WLB is miles better than B4.
4) Yes, we are paying strong referral bonuses because our practice has literally doubled in the past year.
5) All of the above is due to a strong pipeline and significant growth within the practice.
