What is your level of comfort writing queries and analyzing large data sets?

Some technical program managers will be expected to perform analysis on large data sets within their programs of responsibility. Others will be expected to ensure the quality of the work of the analysts and engineers who perform these duties. Interviewers ask this question to ensure the candidate they select has the experience necessary to provide leadership within this important aspect of solution engineering, operations, and support.

Remember to describe your experience with various frameworks such as relational and non-relational databases. Also, be sure to mention any experience you have working with business intelligence solutions that allow for the integration and analysis of large data sets.

"I am very comfortable working with data. I began my IT career as an analyst, and I worked with large data sets regularly. I wrote queries, developed reports, and performed deep-dive situational analysis. I mostly worked with SQL, but I also have experience working with analyzing document data stores in a NoSQL non-relational environment.

Additionally, I have worked with a number of business intelligence solutions. I helped to identify the relevant data sets and develop the reports that my customers relied on. I have used Power BI, Tableau, and Domo."
