Cracking the Product Manager Interview
summary
Practical playbook for PM interviews: prepare five labeled stories across roles, state the nugget first, use SAR with at least three action bullets and say “I” not “we”; for design questions always identify the users, ask clarifying questions, sketch on the whiteboard and tradeoffs tied to metrics; for estimations explicitly state assumptions, break the problem into components and sanity‑check results within 5–10 minutes; drive the case, focus on process over the final number, and bring the slide deck at go.gayle.com/pmprepslides.
