Step-by-step hints

What this page is: we have no dated public source for how Airbnb runs its SQL round, so this page does not state one — no duration, no platform, no stage list. What follows is general SQL interview practice on the kind of data Airbnb works with. What is ours: the questions are SQL Quest challenges and the topic emphasis is our editorial judgement, not a measured breakdown of Airbnb's interview. Pages with dated sources say so in this spot.

Practice Set Composition

What the Airbnb practice set actually covers

The 27 challenges tagged Airbnb in the SQL Quest bank, with every raw challenge tag resolved to the 9 canonical skills. Each share is the portion of those 27 challenges that exercise the skill — a challenge exercises several, so the shares do not sum to 100%. This is the composition of the practice set on this page, not a measurement of Airbnb’s interview.

Practice Questions

Six SQL Quest challenges matched to Airbnb’s patterns

These are SQL Quest challenges chosen because their SQL matches the work — Querying Basics, Aggregation & Grouping, Window Functions. They are not questions Airbnb has asked, and this page does not claim to know its questions. All of the six play free; each card opens the challenge itself.

How To Prepare

How to prepare for an analytics SQL round

General guidance about analytics SQL work — not sourced from Airbnb and not a description of its process. We have no dated, citable source for how Airbnb runs its SQL round, so this page states none.
