I applied through college or university. I interviewed at Scotiabank
Interview
Very straightforward. They started off describing what the role entails, and went in to detail about what the responsibilities would be. They then jumped into technical questions. Asked about courses taken in school (I applied through my university), and things I learned in certain courses.

Question 1
Q: If you drop an egg from a building with n floors, how would you determine the first floor at which the egg cracks? How would you do this without knowing the number of floors?
It was quite straightforward. Didn't receive any technical questions--mostly behavioural related to my past experiences. They wanted proficiency in SQL, Python, and PowerBI. I hadn't done much PowerBI before, but it was chill.
