Interview Prompt

We're building a monthly sales crosstab from raw sales records, each carrying an employee, a month, and an amount. Return one dict per employee that spreads their sales into month-named keys, each holding that employee's total for the month, alongside their `employee_id`.

Summary

Every salesperson has a story. The months just tell it sideways.

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 Python against test cases
  4. Answer the interviewer's follow-up questions, then get a hire or no-hire decision
