They asked me to walk through how I'd clean a dataset with missing values and outliers. Phone screen last week and video call with the team yesterday. Python questions and also why Desjardins over other financial institutions.

Easiest technical interview I had this cycle. Video call with a tech lead, basic Python questions and a small function live on screen, nothing hard. Why Desjardins over the banks, I had a decent answer for that. Whole thing was 35 min. HR reached out the next day with an offer.
