Interview Details

What did the interview consist of?
1 on 1 Interview
Please describe the interview / hiring process.
The first round was with the manager of the team. He asked me hypothetical about SQL and possible scenarios about changing the type of it from relational to non-relational.

The second one was with a senior director who asked me a bunch of hypothetical questions about training an AI model, what a RNN is, how I would go about training/testing one, and how I would use SQL queries in a Python program. Then some basic why Cboe behavioral questions.
