I started my journey with brushing up the SQL commands and syntax from w3schools followed by solving SQL questions from Leetcode to find the second highest salary, rank scores, consecutive numbers, duplicate/ redundant rows.

I read an interesting post on LinkedIn by Drew Mooney:

An interview question I love to ask Data Analyst candidates: "What approach did you take to explore the dataset?"

What makes this question so effective?

1. If the candidate dives straight into an explanation about tools, that's a warning sign - they may be more interested in tools & technical approaches than solving business problems.

2. It reveals how curious they are. Did they only explore top-level summaries and simple correlations? Or did they dive deep, look at different groupings and patterns, explore time series changes, and follow multiple interesting leads?
