Interview Prompt

The pricing team is flagging products that look overpriced relative to their own category. For each product priced above its category's average, return the product name, category, its price, and that category's average price.

Summary

What counts as good depends on the company you keep.

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
