Start by actively listening to the client's needs and documenting them thoroughly. Break down requirements into actionable steps, creating a roadmap that includes key milestones and data validation checks to ensure accuracy throughout the migration process.

Explain your hands-on experience in executing SQL-based solutions for extraction, transformation, and loading (ETL). Discuss specific projects where you designed queries and optimized performance for migrating data from legacy systems to new platforms.

Focus on thorough planning and testing. Implement a phased migration approach or parallel run strategies to ensure that the new system is validated before fully transitioning. Also, maintain clear communication with stakeholders to prepare and manage expectations.

Implement validation rules and conduct pre-migration audits to identify potential issues. Post-migration, run tests to compare data between the old and new systems, ensuring every piece of data has migrated correctly and completely before finalizing the process.

Share a specific example where you faced conflicting requirements or data quality issues. Showcase your problem-solving skills by detailing the approach taken to collaborate with the team, communicate with stakeholders, and implement effective solutions.

Emphasize the importance of clear documentation, including outlining processes, configurations, and any adjustments made during the migration. This promotes knowledge sharing and ensures continuity for future projects.

Demonstrate your commitment to professional development by discussing how you follow industry blogs, attend webinars, participate in online courses, and network with fellow professionals to stay informed about the latest tools and trends relevant to data migrations.

Talk about the essential elements of a data migration framework, such as comprehensive planning, defining clear success metrics, implementing effective validation processes, and enabling scalability for future migrations to enhance efficiency.

Discuss your adaptability and troubleshooting skills. Explain how you assess issues as they arise, involve relevant stakeholders to gain different perspectives, and explore various strategic options to resolve unexpected challenges quickly.

Highlight the importance of consistent communication with all stakeholders—clients, team members, and management. Keeping everyone in the loop facilitates collaborative problem-solving and establishes trust, which is crucial for a successful migration.
