I have my senior data engineer interview scheduled at McKinsey, however my only skillsets are SQL and BI Tools and basic python. I have very basic knowledge of big data tech stack.
I am not at all confident for the interview and will probably make a fool.of myself

Should I ask them to discard my candidature or go to the interview for khatro ke khiladi experience.

Do not run.. have a attempt.. if not selected also you will atleast have an experience.. there is no harm in trying.. all the best buddy :)

There is nothing wrong in making an attempt. Sometimes companies recruit people and ask them to get familiarise with necessary technology and work on them

Gave the interview first 30 mins for resume grill and behaviour questions. Then one SQL questions- LC medium and one Python Dynamic Programming question- Bombed it

Oh man, no worries. Good experience to have this interview

Just be confident and focus on your experience, challenges faced and how you overcame them, QA practices you followed, any lead experience like grooming junior folks, stakeholder engagement etc.

Remember the 80/20 rule. 80% of any tech can be learned by understanding 20% of the subject. Focus on your strengths and attempt. You have nothing to lose!

You will get the job. Best of luck.
Let me know after the interview

In Bank of America it is more of a core Python role whereas in IDFC it is more related to Data Engineer role. I’m confused between choosing since Bank of America has bigger brand value and also both organizations have similar work life balance.

Any suggestions would be really helpful.
