Sorry about that -- in real life you would just ask the interviewer what MAU meant if they didn't spell it out.

The purpose was to make the questions more realistic, since at least in my experience in data analyst interviews the questions are asked in the context of actual business or product situations ... like company leaders, PMs, or others wanting to understand trends in MAU.

Totally understandable, I think the frustration is more towards companies that try to make the questions a bit more obscure, definitely not your fault.

Thanks for sharing, I found it very insightful.

Ah that makes sense. Thanks!
