Interview Prompt

Find the second-highest metric value across the entire employee metrics table, returned as a single number.

Summary

Almost the top. Not quite.

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
