I have read the decode and conquer and how to crack the PM interview.
I come from technical background. Any practical insights would great.

Interview anchors - Senior product role + Tech background
Suggestions -
Be crystal clear with your past work contributions. If possible use STAR to explain the stuff in a closed loop manner.
Try exhibiting aspects of functional understanding or strategical direction in the roles you played before. Explain why product took that direction and any hypothesis associated with it.
Communication & stakeholders management are two important areas where engineers(not all) take sometime in a new role. Try adding some flavour on these 2 qualities.
Provide some examples where you contributed in NFRs, roadmaps and UATs. This will add to your existing role.
Be yourself, accept that you need to learn new things in a new role.
Feel free to post any queries if you have.

Thanks for your inputs. Its helpful :)
