Interview Prompt

Our side-by-side of the very first signup and the newest one keeps coming back empty, because both turn out to be accounts that never logged a session. Pull every session belonging to the earliest and the most recent signup among people who have actually logged one.

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
