Interview Prompt

The data platform team is grading batch job throughput for their quarterly review, where a job's grade comes from the total rows it processed. Jobs tier as 'Outstanding', 'Satisfactory', 'Unsatisfactory' or 'Poor' at cutoffs of 700, 350 and 200 million rows; show each job's name, its total rows processed, and its tier.

Summary

Every batch job gets a grade.

How This Interview Works

  1. Read the vague prompt (just like a real interview)
  2. Ask clarifying questions to the AI interviewer
  3. Write and run your SQL against a real database
  4. Answer the interviewer's follow-up questions, then get a hire or no-hire decision
