Interview Prompt

The attribution team runs a first-touch model: every conversion is credited to the very first ad impression a user ever saw, and a user counts as converted the moment they appear in the transactions table. For each converted user return their user_id, the ad_campaign of that earliest impression, and its impression_time.

Summary

Attribute transactions to earliest touchpoint

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
