You might consider preparing the best you can, but ultimately throwing caution to the wind, going in for the experience and learning as much as you can from each of the interviews (the vibe, how you feel, the Q's asked, etc.), so you can reflect and improve your approach to future PM interviews when you can better prepare and know what to expect. Try the best you can, and who knows, maybe you'll luck out and land an offer. But regardless - find the value in the experience you have and milk that value for future opportunities.

Thanks I think this is most realistic given the limited time to prep. The reason I applied is I’m interested in starting a business one day and think being a PM could help me learn those business skills. Would you say that’s true in your experience? And is that an ok thing to say in an interview?

Which companies?

What are the best responses for “a time when you led a team” in a consulting interview, for someone who has not had a managerial position (1 yoe) before?

And how would you differentiate this vs “a time when you worked in a team”
