- **ADVANCED 2026-06-17 — invited to 30-min Google Hiring Assessment.** Resume cleared the recruiter screen. Next action: complete the online assessment within the deadline in the invite email. Confirm exact format from the email (Google Hiring Assessment is typically online + timed; for DE roles expect SQL + possibly Python/data-modeling and/or situational-judgment questions — verify, do not assume). Prep focus: SQL (window functions, joins, aggregation), dimensional modeling, basic Python/data manipulation.
