LeetCode for Python questions, easy gets you past coding rounds at most companies, DataLemur for SQL interview prep, Cracking the PM Interview is good for product data science questions and more open-ended business-y DS case problems.

You can also check out the book " Ace the Data Science Interview " on Amazon, which is like "Cracking the Coding Interview" but for Data Science & ML interviews.

LeetCode Python Solutions for Data Science
October 19, 2023 - To improve your python skills as a data scientist using Leetcode, the Algorithm section is really the only section you can use (https://leetcode.com/problemset/algorithms/). The main table of questions is by default algorithms. The main table of questions defaults to algorithms, because software developers typically need to practice algorithms for their interviews.

r/datascience on Reddit: Planning to use these leetcode resources to practice Python skills for interviews
July 31, 2024 -
Hi, I am planning to further enhance my Python skills for interviews related to data science roles.
I was thinking of using Leetcode
Pandas library practice: https://leetcode.com/studyplan/30-days-of-pandas/
For Python programming, one of these:
https://leetcode.com/studyplan/programming-skills/
https://leetcode.com/studyplan/leetcode-75/
https://leetcode.com/studyplan/top-interview-150/
The only thing is that I'm not sure if the above 3 links are relevant and if they are even asked for data science / ML interviews.
Should I go ahead with this or look at some other platform that is focused on data science preparation?
P.S: I live in Europe so looking at the European job market

Those 3 links are relevant. Pandas is definitely relevant for quite a few jobs and may even be tested in some (not all) job interviews. Overall, having strong programming/DS&A skills is always beneficial for Data Science interviews. From what I hear from the people I met from Europe, the European job market can have varying interview styles much like the U.S. Some won't even test you. Some will give you a take home assignment. At large organizations and MAANG, they may test your Python skills through Leetcode or similar problems. So if your aim is for one of those, I'd invest some time into Leetcode preparation. At these companies, they may or may not test your Pandas skills. I would actually recommend that you can at least do (and genuinely understand all of the theory behind) all of the easy problems and some of the medium problems from Grind 75: https://www.techinterviewhandbook.org/grind75 Also, I would get comfortable with Pandas using that link you have. You can also apply during your study period. You may even see a problem you practiced the prior day on the day of your interview. If you pass the interview, bam! No more studying. If you fail, no worries! You now have more knowledge for future interviews. Best of luck; I believe in you!

I don't know much, but from my understanding you could try focusing on the database problems on leetcode. They're related to SQL and data manipulation. Could save you from wasting your time learning how to solve stuff not really that useful to DS. Anyways, good luck!! P.S. pls help me get 10 upvotes so I can ask my own questions lol.

r/dataengineering on Reddit: How to properly study python leetcode questions for data engineering interviews?
August 31, 2022 -
A lot of questions seems to be more oriented towards software engineers, like graph traversals and dynamic programming.
My experience interviewing for my data engineering job (well funded startup) has been easier python questions not found on Leetcode, like string manipulations and easy questions using a python dictionary.
Since that is just one company, I wasn't sure how representative that is of all data engineering jobs.

Ideally, the data structures question doesn't make much sense for a data engineering job profile but there are still many companies who still ask these questions. What I have noticed is, if the interviewer is actually a Data Engineer itself then they would ask the related questions but if an interviewer is a person who hasn't worked as Data Engineer, it may be a manager or an analyst then they would ask typical DS questions.

What I’m doing so far is Leetcode easy to medium for DSA And leetcode medium to hard for sql And with some system design I say this because most companies see DE as a subset of SWE, hence you still need to be able to tackle problem solving. Also some also say DE isn’t a junior role. if you do leetcode, you can get into SWE, and eventually specialize in data . I don’t see how you can go wrong with it
