I have a FAANG interview coming up with a senior VP for a Project Manager role (non tech). I really want this but I’m really nervous. Any insights on typical questions to prep for?

The only thing i would prep for would be your ability to manage stakeholder expectations, competing priorities and managing deliverables on a project behind schedule. Give examples, and you’ll be golden. Nothing about FAANG is different from the realities of the outside world. Stick to the reality.

Note: I've never applied to nor have been sought by FAANG.

Thank you F1! The first 2 interviews were all about my experience and how I managed certain situations, which I did well in. I’m actually nervous about the case situations - my hands get clammy and I just can’t think straight when I’m thrown a curveball so want to prep as much as I can.

@M1: I found this role on LinkedIn

I am asked during this RE analyst interview to build a real estate model from scratch. My background is commercial banking and I am used to analyzing real estate deals from the lender side not the developer. The interviewer is generous I must say he’s giving me a few days to complete. However this model is for a ground up multifamily development. I have no prior experience building one. I can find models online but all very complexe to reproduce. How would you handle? Do you have model to share?

After I realised I couldn't maintain all the unpaid overtime I was working I decided to take a turn and go to compliance, so now I work in CT compliance. I feel very surpressed.
