Interview Prompt

The trust and safety team is tracking custom message types being sent to users. For each recipient, count how many times they were sent a message of each non-standard type, and show the recipient, the message type, and the count.

Summary

Not all messages are created equal.

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
