A company wants to hire new employees. The budget of the company for the salaries is $70000
. The company's criteria for hiring are:
- Keep hiring the senior with the smallest salary until you cannot hire any more seniors.
- Use the remaining budget to hire the junior with the smallest salary.
- Keep hiring the junior with the smallest salary until you cannot hire any more juniors.
Write a solution to find the ids of seniors and juniors hired under the mentioned criteria.
Return the result table in any order.
The result format is in the following example.

Example 1:
Input: Candidates table: +-------------+------------+--------+ | employee_id | experience | salary | +-------------+------------+--------+ | 1 | Junior | 10000 | | 9 | Junior | 15000 | | 2 | Senior | 20000 | | 11 | Senior | 16000 | | 13 | Senior | 50000 | | 4 | Junior | 40000 | +-------------+------------+--------+ Output: +-------------+ | employee_id | +-------------+ | 11 | | 2 | | 1 | | 9 | +-------------+ Explanation: We can hire 2 seniors with IDs (11, 2). Since the budget is $70000 and the sum of their salaries is $36000, we still have $34000 but they are not enough to hire the senior candidate with ID 13. We can hire 2 juniors with IDs (1, 9). Since the remaining budget is $34000 and the sum of their salaries is $25000, we still have $9000 but they are not enough to hire the junior candidate with ID 4.
Example 2:
Input: Candidates table: +-------------+------------+--------+ | employee_id | experience | salary | +-------------+------------+--------+ | 1 | Junior | 25000 | | 9 | Junior | 10000 | | 2 | Senior | 85000 | | 11 | Senior | 80000 | | 13 | Senior | 90000 | | 4 | Junior | 30000 | +-------------+------------+--------+ Output: +-------------+ | employee_id | +-------------+ | 9 | | 1 | | 4 | +-------------+ Explanation: We cannot hire any seniors with the current budget as we need at least $80000 to hire one senior. We can hire all three juniors with the remaining budget.
