I applied through college or university. I interviewed at S&P Global (Hyderābād) in Mar 2025
Interview
The interviewer was pretty chill, he asked me everything that I mentioned in my resume. He majorly focused on SQL and my knowledge on DBMS concepts , OOPs concepts and Data Viz tools(since I have mentioned them in resume). The interview went decent enough but I didnot get selected and nobody from my panel got selected even when the interview went well.
