Either. They want to understand how you approach a problem, what are the different pieces you think of.

My frameworks got better the less I cared about what I think people want to see, vs. just putting my own thoughts on paper. Also, practice with people that know what they’re doing! :P

Also, I've realized that some people mean "approach" when talking about structure (e.g. look at A, then B, then consider ways to implement), while others actually just mean "the detailed drivers of this given issue". What do interviewers ACTUALLY want to see in the first issue tree I draw out?

Hey Peeps,

I know there has to be way more to such an interesting position. Can any of you give me any insight into what a PM's day-to-day is like a Google?
