Interview Prompt

We're running a quarterly cost review across our cloud spend. Each service racks up many separate charges a month. For each service, show its highest monthly cost in each of the four quarters as four separate columns.

Summary

Every quarter has a peak bill.

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
