Question 1
1.Retrieve the top 10 customers who purchased the highest total number of books in 2019, considering only non-refunded sales.
2. Calculate the average total purchase amount segmented by customer reward membership status and whether the purchase was made during a defined season or non-season period. (Season - after Nov 15)
3.Determine what percentage of total book sales (by revenue) is contributed by the top 5 most expensive books.
4.Identify customers who have made purchases on more than one distinct day and bought a combined total of more than 3 books on their first and last purchase dates.
Begins with an application review and recruiter screening, followed by a technical phone interview that assesses SQL, data modeling, data warehousing, ETL processes, and coding skills in languages such as Python or Java. Successful candidates then proceed to onsite or virtual interviews, which include multiple rounds covering coding, system design, data architecture, problem solving, and behavioral questions.

I applied online. I interviewed at Meta (New York, NY)

Prepare technical concepts, and practice previously asked questions as much as you can find online. 4 rounds in the total process. It's easy as long as you just practice a LOT.
