And in general if the PM role is in a more technical team, you can expect to be asked basic questions around system design which demonstrates your understanding of the core concepts so that you aren’t completely lost while discussing with the tech team. Things like microservices vs monolith architecture and the trade offs. Load balancing (Horizontal vs vertical scaling)- when to use what. Basics of APIs. Functional vs non functional requirements while working on a feature etc Having an understanding of these concepts will be great in any technical product interview

I loved the book Tech Simplified for pms by Deepak Singh. It’s a simple non assuming book which teaches you the basic concepts quite effectively.

Will be focused on product development. Coordination with engineers. User stories, acceptance criteria. How you run a scrum team if that’s is what that company follows or details about APIs, SQL and DBs.

Okay. Has anyone got deep into the specific features or problems you worked in your previous roles? If not, you can expect to be talking a lot more into the details of why you did what you did and how it impacted your product.

I have never prepared extensively for interviews and frameworks for PMs, being a PM myself :( Can folks help me here for: - Sharing their experience of the similar round or same company for a PM 1. - What exactly will be asked in this round? Is it just going to be guesstimates and product cases? If so what kind of cases. - Any resources which I can refer to to brush up in a day?

Cracking PM interviews?

What questions are asked for a product mgmt interview? How can one become a PM without tech background? I have product strategy background. In interviews i am able to ace product sense / product strategy questions but when it comes to tech, unable to show the required tech acumen (due to lack of actual exposure to it). Should I just stay put in product / business strategy roles or move into product mgmt? Reasons for moving into PM - want career and monetary growth, build tech stuff and not just strategise stuff. Have 6 yrs experience (2 yrs pre MBA data analytics+ 2 yrs business strategy + 2 yrs product strategy).

PM jobs preparation resources

I am a PM with 4 YOE and have been applying for PM and SPM roles. However, have been facing rejections and the reason they say is my problem solving in case studies was not structured as we'd like. Are there any experienced PM here who can help me with a few pointers on what the companies are looking at for such roles and if there are any resources that I can make use of to become better.

Have applied for a position at a startup for PM internship. Have no prior experience. Somehow if I get a call for interview, just want to make sure I don't make a fool of myself. If you could please help me outline what things to know before sitting for such an interview? Experienced PMs based on India, do you know da way? Show me da way :)

Behavioural questions for PMs

How frequent and important are behavioural questions in PM interviews? I kind of really struggle picking a story at that moment and identify the level of details to be shared. Eventually, I see myself rambling and losing the interviewer. Any experiences or inputs that can help. I’ve gone through resources online for prep but looking for more experiences that worked / didn’t work for people.

Are there any specific resources that you would suggest?
