Struggling with PM Interviews? Avoid these Mistakes
Crack any PM interview like the top 1%
Are you struggling with PM interviews?
You are preparing, practising and still not able to do good in a PM interview
What if I tell you, you are Preparing the Wrong way
You are preparing like you are still stuck in 2020–2021
However, currently, due to a supply-demand mismatch, something extra is required.
These are the mistakes which a lot of candidates make in a PM interview
Not thinking from the First Principle
Example — Candidate ( A ) and Candidate ( B )
Questions — How would you Improve Spotify?
Clarifying question asked by ( A ) — 99% of candidates
- What is the Goal of Improving Spotify? What are we trying to achieve from this?
- Are we improving Spotify for a particular type of Device like Mobile or Desktop? Any specific geography?
- Is there any Resource Constraint in terms of Technology / Monetary or any Time Constraint I should be aware of ?
All these are valid questions but they are not asked…
