Interview Format

How Meta SQL Interviews Work

💻

The Format

45-minute screen with 2-3 SQL questions of increasing difficulty. You write queries live in CoderPad or a shared editor. The interviewer watches your approach in real time — not just the final answer.

🔎

What They Look For

Correct logic and complete results. Edge case handling (NULLs, empty groups, ties). Query optimization awareness — can you explain why one approach is faster? Clear communication of your thought process.

🎯

How to Prepare

Practice window functions heavily — they appear in 40% of Meta questions. Use real datasets, not toy examples. Time yourself at 15 minutes per question. Talk through your approach out loud while writing.
