From submitting my application to receiving the offer the process took about 1.5 months. It consisted of several interview stages. First, I had an initial screening call with a Talent Partner, who was extremely friendly and supportive. The conversation focused on my background, experience, and availability, and it set a very positive tone for the entire process. Next, I had an interview with the hiring manager, who asked more detailed questions about dbt Labs to assess my understanding of the role and cultural fit, as well as questions about my professional background and experience. The interviewer was approachable and encouraging, which made the discussion very constructive. After that, I completed a technical assessment with three tasks. I spent around four days working on it and, in parallel, completed relevant foundational courses from dbt Academy to strengthen my understanding of the platform. I documented and explained each step of my work using a sandbox accounts. In the following interview with the manager, I walked through how I solved the technical assessment, highlighted areas where I initially felt uncertain, and explained alternative approaches to solving the same tasks. During this discussion, I also demonstrated my general troubleshooting approach. The final stage consisted of three interviews held on the same day, focusing on topics such as working under pressure, receiving and giving feedback, collaboration, and handling customer objections. All interviewers were supportive, professional, and friendly, which made the experience enjoyable rather than stressful. Overall, it was a great experience. I felt very excited throughout the process and gained a lot of positive emotions from the interactions with the team. The most challenging part was waiting for the final decision, but I remained patient and was ultimately delighted to receive the offer.
