Interviewing with Apple next week for the roles of Global Supply Manager (GSM) and Worldwide Procurement Analyst in Austin. Does anyone have any tips or advice for the interview? What kind of questions do they ask?
Also, what’s the compensation like in Austin specifically? I would think the compensation would be different than Cupertino. Anyone have any offers or salaries for these positions in Austin?

Join PMs group on LinkedIn and/or Facebook also book club for PMs. Lot of articles available on medium.
Practice product sense, product strategy, and execution especially if you target FAANG companies.
Culture fit is very important for PMs so research that on the company.
Make sure you know agile/scrum/lean/waterfall and how you work with development team, designers, software engineers.
Have a look at how Spotify does product that is a very interesting process.
Usually at some stage you would get a task so review mission/vision and product strategy and delivery. Some companies are very though with the tasks and will expect end to end solution.
Never underestimate the amount of time a task requires, interviewer will tell you 2h Max while most interviewees spend 15+ on it.
Make sure you have some kind of framework for your slides and try to stay under 10.
No matter if you do a live task or home task, always states your assumption that helps the interviewer see how you think and the scope of your solution.
Book readings for you :)

Hi Nutanix,
Thank you very happy to hear that! Only trying to help :).

Read cracking the pm interview. Those are baseline questions that you can expect in a PM interview.
Also practice telling stories around collaboration, trade off discussions, disagreements with design or engineering, etc.
Cool I'll do that!
