Interview Prompt

We record each user's signup date and want to compare the year-opening intake from one year to the next. Count the users who signed up during that opening stretch of each year, earliest year first.

Summary

Every year opens with a wave of new names. See how the first seven months compare.

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
