Interview Prompt

We're auditing ad campaigns for dead months, calendar months where a campaign got no clicks at all. List every campaign that had one, along with the revenue from its single heaviest month.

Summary

Every month it ran, it landed a click. Among those, find the ones whose worst month of spend stayed lowest.

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
