I got my foot in the door at Databricks for a DSA role. I am technical but don’t think I’m the degree of technical Databricks is looking for. I heard you need proficient pyspark understanding and python skills. Both of which I have little of. Would you agree it doesn’t make sense for me to continue down the interview path and waste my time with this assessment?

Nah. You are fine. You arent JUST being assessed on technical skills. DSA also has a very strong customer delivery and comms requirement. No one writes pyspark code all day long in databricks apart from the software engineers. DSA is very customer heavy role. So absolutely continue with it

What’s DSA?

Ask the recruiter about their technical assessment. There is a chance that what you've heard is incomplete or incorrect, so maybe you have the skills they need. If not, ask the recruiter if they have roles where the skills you do have are more relevant.

I’m currently interviewing for a DSA role and have done fine so far despite not having any spark experience. I passed the architecture & design round, now moving into the coding round where they encourage you to use Genie to generate code. They do mention you’ll need to generate data using pyspark, though this becomes trivial when you can use genie to do so.

Just get familiar with how to prompt useful pyspark and you’ll be fine.

It's more than likely to be a waste of your time bc Databricks will expect you to be very proficient in Spark internals, PySpark, Python, Spark SQL, Unity Catalog and lots of other Databricks-y things for a DSA role.
