Don't know why metrics would be a ambiguous analytics problem cause leadership will always have priorities as part of business goals so they are aware of what metrics they need to make decisions. I'd assume logically business intelligence would need to show those specific metrics as requested and then perhaps an analysis of various areas of the business as a guidance for leadership to focus on. Giving random unsolicited reports and metrics makes no sense.
1 total trend - total # of customers - # total of transactions - total # of sales revenue 2 customers - # of customers based on the signup - 3 transactions - # of transactions over time - revenue of transactions over time - # of sales based on items - # of sales revenue based on items
If I may, the data architecture with Customer & Transaction tables is not optimized at all. You should put a customer id in transaction table and remove the transaction id from the customer table because with this implementation the customer_id & sign_up_date are duplicated as many times as a customer made a transaction.
this guy who answered the question either didn't have experience or doesn't have business acumen. he didn't get the thing right, the executives only want to see the big picture of the transactions, not the details. as an analyst, you need to know who is your audience. he is talking no sense around
SELECT AVG(items) AS average_order_size FROM Customer AS c JOIN Transaction AS t ON c.transaction_id = t.transaction_id; I optimized the SQL query. Can't we use this?
Thank you guys for this interview. wondering about two things. dose amazon use power bi or tableau? also, why would he need to write the query if this Dax is almost ready if he could load the data from the server to the dashboard?
why is it so difficult for that person to answer the first question: metic-total sales, number of transactions, he is fxxking talking no sense for so long.
Thank you, Dan, for consistently providing us with valuable and practical content

This is exactly how a BIE interview at amazon is. The evaluation of response is spot on.
Thanks for the input :)
@@DataInterview btw I got my BIE offer from Amazon :) Thank you so much!
@@underdogmorphling8488 congrats! 🥂
Hey can you message me I’m about to interview for this as well and have questions
@@alexisspence4050 or just email me at dan@datainterview.com
I'm interviewing for BIE roles now and this is very helpful in general.
1 total trend
- total # of customers
- # total of transactions
- total # of sales revenue
2 customers
- # of customers based on the signup
-
3 transactions
- # of transactions over time
- revenue of transactions over time
- # of sales based on items

And RFM
Month of time
Thanks Dan, your content is really helpful. I learned that sometimes a simple solution can give more insight. Keep uploading Dan!

I thought the same thing
Hey dan, interviewing for BIE role and they are mentionning « opportunity sizing » as part of the final interview. Can you help prepare for this?
Hi Kevin, how did your interview go? Did you find out what they meant by that term?
thanks for the content, Dan! Can you provide for us beginners the SQL solution?

are you sure the last line "limit 100" will correctly give top 100 VIP customer? Actually it's customer/date level data.
SELECT AVG(items) AS average_order_size
FROM Customer AS c
JOIN Transaction AS t ON c.transaction_id = t.transaction_id;
I optimized the SQL query. Can't we use this?
Thank you Sir! Great stuff!
Thanks Dan, very helpful. Just wondering in which level does this interview belong to - starting/Intermediary/Advanced level?
Starting / Intermediate
Thank you guys for this interview. wondering about two things. dose amazon use power bi or tableau? also, why would he need to write the query if this Dax is almost ready if he could load the data from the server to the dashboard?
Very helpful!! Thank you!!
I excelled the SQL but couldn't ace the Python part
Hey! Can you please share what exactly in Python were you asked?
hey , can you tell what questions were asked to you?
Very helpful video.
Is it more relevant to Loop round or initial Technical screening?
Walk. Physical
Super helpful
Hey Dan, how did you come up with this format for the Amazon BI Engineer interview? Was it based on actual BI Engineer interviews?
Amazon interviews are structured like this. They usually do not ask you questions on metrics but 3 SQL questions immediately
@@jonathanlam7204 what are those 3 questions?
@@jonathanlam7204 mind sharing what those questions are ?
Don't miss the explanation at the end.
Agreed :)

U know this isn’t real because it violates Amazon confidentiality clause
