Good afternoon everyone. Question, during a product case interview after narrowing down to one pain point I want to focus on, do I then come up with 2-3 potential solutions? And then narrow that down to 1 after explaining my reasoning for picking that solution ?

The “framework” is fine but it matters more what your answers are and how you decide the right path forward. Having multi-pronged solutions is fine as long as there’s a logical reason

You need to show how you think, of course. But the actual output of your thinking needs to be good too.

This isn’t theoretical, this is how I evaluate PM candidates.

I was recently offered a Zoom interview. I had 10 slots to choose from. I took the first slot available. Three were one day earlier this week and the rest are next week. Does it look good (or desperate, lol) on my part that I took the first time or should I have waited until next week so that I would be fresher on their minds when choosing a candidate? Also, do interviewers still appreciate a handwritten note after an interview?

Trying to determine if transitioning from my current role as a Manger, Strategy for a ~100 person Fintech working directly with the C-Suite to a Senior Product Manager at Amazon would be a lateral, upward, or downward move. On one hand my comp would go up and I’d be in a bigger org with defined growth, on the other, I would lose the exposure to executives and influence over our corporate strategy. Any thoughts or experiences would be appreciated! TIA!
