How should I prepare for programming questions in a data science interview?

Being on both sides of the table; here are my thoughts on preparing for the programming questions in a data science interview:

  1. You have to have a good understanding of API’s and crawlers; for pulling out data from websites or by crawling the internet. (These questions may or may not be asked by all the companies).

  2. Writing SQL queries. The difficulty would depend on your level of expertise.

  3. I have a data-set with me on my database; pull the relevant data from it and perform ridge regression on the same. (Try to make it automated; or like a pipeline).

And questions which include writing methods for implementing various data science algorithms and statistical techniques would be asked.
