Interview Prompt
We're auditing the batch pipeline and want the jobs in the overlooked middle by rows processed: not the busiest, not the idlest. Line the jobs up from most rows to least and return the ones sitting in positions 8 through 10, each with its position.
Summary
Not the biggest, not the smallest. The overlooked middle.
How This Interview Works
- Read the vague prompt (just like a real interview)
- Ask clarifying questions to the AI interviewer
- Write and run your SQL against a real database
- Answer the interviewer's follow-up questions, then get a hire or no-hire decision
