Interview Prompt

A user counts as retained if they come back for another session within 90 days of their first one. Working from the user_sessions table, return the overall retention rate: the share of all users with any session who were retained.

Summary

Everyone shows up once. Who comes back before the quarter ends?

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
