Interview Prompt

The trust and safety team needs to audit messaging activity that doesn't involve user 1. A thread is defined as a unique sender_id and reply_to pair. Count how many threads exist where neither the sender_id nor the reply_to is user 1, considering only messages that have a non-null reply_to.

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 sql solution with real code execution
  4. Get instant feedback and a hire/no-hire decision
