Hi Everyone. I recently got an interview invite from Microsoft for a principal product manager role on the Microsoft Shopping / Commerce team. This is the initial phone screen with hiring manager and not the full loop.

Would anyone who has interviewed for a similar PM role at Microsoft be willing to share what the phone screen usually focuses on? For example, is it more around product sense, execution, strategy, stakeholder management, commerce domain knowledge, or leadership depth?

However, I am worried if I accept the tech role and I do not become permanent I will be looking again for a job in 12-24 months and my CV won't be showing a managerial position. Won't be showing any progress.
