After HR screening there was a test based on SQL and then a round with Higher management where the interview was focused on technical skills based on sql, python, snowflakes and visualization tools

In the interview process I went through, the first round was a screening of resumes where the hiring team shortlisted candidates based on their profiles. Following this, I was invited to the second round, which was an HR interview. During this round, I was asked basic HR questions, got a chance to discuss salary expectations, and learned more about the company and the next steps in the process. The third round involved a technical test conducted on HackerEarth, focusing on SQL and Tableau. The test consisted of multiple-choice questions (MCQs), and I was also required to run SQL queries. I felt that the test went wonderfully; I was able to complete the SQL queries successfully and answer the MCQs confidently. However, despite clearing this round, I received feedback from the hiring team that my profile was rejected. According to them, although I passed the test, they found a candidate whose profile better matched their requirements. This left me uncertain about their expectations, as I believed my performance and qualifications were aligned with the role.
