Data Science Job Interview Warm‑Up: 30 Real Coding & System‑Design Questions

Data science has become one of the most sought‑after fields in technology, leveraging mathematics, statistics, machine learning, and programming to derive valuable insights from data. Organisations across every sector—finance, healthcare, retail, government—rely on data scientists to build predictive models, understand patterns, and shape strategy with data‑driven decisions. If you’re gearing up for a data science interview, expect a well‑rounded evaluation.
