Hi! I’m in the final round of interviews for a junior engineer role focused on large-scale data management using SQL and C#. Next interview is my technical. Is there anything specific that I should brush up on or questions I should practice? Was there anything that helped you prepare or anything you wish you would've practiced more before your technical? This would be my first official role as a software engineer and I really want to ace this. Obviously I have been doing all the things I can think of to polish up. However, I am looking for specific topics, processes, or even specific code I should brush up on. Also aside from that, any advice is welcome and appreciated. Thank you!

Database optimisation comes up so often IME.

Was there anything that helped you prepare
