I finally got my first round with Bank of America for a product manager role after months of applying and I want to make sure I get the role but I get so nervous when interviewing. Any tips/advice would be greatly appreciated.

Separately, does anyone know how many rounds Bank of America does for their PM roles? Are they technical by any chance?

First, congrats and good luck.

It depends - when I interview I do one round b/c I know pretty much right away if I’m going to be able to work with this person or not. I may ask my manager or biz partner to interview also.

My recommendation is get familiar with the language in the job req and pair your skill set with it conversationally during the interview process. Wish I knew which dept you were applying to.

When you say you’d know right away if you could work with the person or not obviously you are looking at personality traits.Which is different to your actual suggestion of getting familiar with the language in the profile.If the candidate is great at his job skills and matches the job profile, would you still hire him if you think you can’t work with the person?

I just had a similar conversation with a buddy of mine that just got a new job at Advia CU as a TMO: being your genuine self is your best shot at getting the job. People come in nervous and overselling themselves, and you can set yourself apart by being direct and approachable.

Agreed - comfortable and relatable works for me. I need to feel like it’s a cultural fit.
