Hi folks- I had an interview today and even the have read about product sense interviews, I bombed. How does one take mock interviews with peers? Anyone with experience willing to do some mocks to share the feedback? Is there a community out there willing to help out a newbie in tech PM role?

Practice makes perfect. I think all of us have bombed an interview or three in our lifetimes.

1) Youtube examples
2) Product interview course
3) Product interview coaching
4) Slack communities Mind the Product, Product School, etc
5) Facebook groups

I freelanced for an agency as an art director for 6 months and recently got hired FT. I am struggling with imposter syndrome on a daily basis but manage to get great feedback from the creative directors continuously but still feel the same way. I was put on a creative brainstorm and my ideas seemed so misaligned with everyone else's but the designs I did the client liked and I think we are moving forward with. Where does the role of art director begin and end? New to agency life. Any advice?

There's been a delay from HRs of the companies in a similar way. How do I urge them to send me the offer letter without sounding pushy? I had reached out to some of the HRs myself. Would that be too awkward if I accept & back out their offer?
