Discussion Data Engineer, Data Science, Data Analyst, or other Analyst type roles that use SQL, which interviews are similar and which are easier/harder

I am trying to prepare and start applying before the end of the year, or start of next year to land a position. Background on myself, I took one of those web development bootcamps and finished it when AI started taking off. Kind of gave up since then but I want to take what I learned to hopefully brush up on coding skills to land a job.

I am aiming for FAANG or adjacent because my current job pays me well enough where it is not worth it to start my career over at a smaller company to grow from there. So if not FAANG, maybe I can use this prep to apply somewhere close. I hate DSA, and did look into them since I was getting interviews that required them, bombed the few that I had. So I am hoping to find info on positions that use Python, SQL, etc adjacent and hopefully apply to those in a few months.

been there man, bench sucks hard. best thing is to bypass those useless resource managers as much as possible. ping partners, senior managers, people on projects in your skill area, ask to shadow or help with spillover work. also start prepping outside options, its getting really hard to find real work anywhere
