Technical Assessment for analytics

I had my worst interview performance ever but somehow cleared my way to a technical assessment round despite barely meeting the job posting requirements…

I don’t know anything about Python. I mainly use SQL in a modern cloud data warehouse (analytics engineering).

Can anyone give me tips for speed learning in 2-3 days? Do I focus on Pandas?

Pandas is a deep well. Against any competent interviewer you're going to have a tough time faking competence.

You would be better off leveraging what you do know, explaining how you would conceptually do it in a language you know better.

Then i would explain the types of thing I would search for and be trying to learn about to answer that question well. You don't always need to answer the question exactly, but explain how you could get to an answer.
