I was in the same boat and then came around once I started getting heavily involved in the technical interview process for my team. You’d be surprised how many people say they know SQL according to their resume and even list themselves as having used it for 4+ years and can’t do the basic SQL functions lol

like

Yeah I mean i am ok with 1hr live coding but this kind of 2/4 hrs homework is busting my ass

That says a lot about the practice lol. You should give them a take home quiz as well to make sure they do real analytics work. Also, if this is a data engineering position then this might be reasonable, but if it’s for data science then run away.

“Instead tell me about your most recent project and team cultural, can you crack this hypothesis test for me, oh btw it will be great to have the output before I submit the take-home. Thanks”

I’m busy interviewing candidates with 5 YoE and most of them can’t pass the sql case interview

Then your hr ain’t doing the job for screening lol
Must be painful

You have no idea
