Very good; these are some of the top coders in the world. Comp is better than PM; usually it works out where SWE comp at level X roughly equals PM comp at level X+1.

"Very good" at solving interview questions. General software engineering and technical interview questions are relatively removed from each other.

It’s honestly not as hard as people think, but you do need to grind LC (not similar at all really to what I learned as a CS major)

Practicing tagged questions helps ;)

Good enough that you wouldn't ever question whether you were qualified

Lol no, there's a lot of luck too. If you get an interviewer that just doesn't want to work with you, you might not pass no matter how well you know your stuff, etc. Can very occasionally work the other way where someone gets asked really easy questions too.

Can someone explain the difference between FB’s Partner Solutions Manager and the Strategic Partner Manager?
