I applied online. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at Citi (Tampa, FL) in Dec 2024
Interview
It was definitely challenging, but I learned that consistent practice is the most important factor. To truly excel, you need to prepare even more rigorously than for a typical data analyst interview. Focus not just on technical knowledge, but also on problem-solving techniques and the ability to clearly communicate complex ideas. By pushing yourself to practice harder, you’ll build both confidence and the practical skills needed to perform at your best under pressure.
