Interview Prompt

Given a list of employee records, find the top N unique salary values without using Python's nlargest(), sorted(), or sort() functions. Return them in descending order. If fewer than N unique salaries exist, return all of them.

How This Interview Works

  1. Read the vague prompt (just like a real interview)
  2. Ask clarifying questions to the AI interviewer
  3. Write your python solution with real code execution
  4. Get instant feedback and a hire/no-hire decision
