I have a PM interview coming up with the CPO and have no idea what to expect. I have passed the recruiter screen. Any tips on how to prepare?

Background: was a data analyst (recently laid off) and trying to transition into PM.

Thanks!

Here are a couple of sources I found- https://www.reddit.com/r/ProductManagement/comments/phyquh/interview_with_cpo_what_questions_should_i_ask/?rdt=36819 and https://medium.com/@d.everett/product-manager-interview-questions-and-preparation-29b3e9a879d3 . Think there is some good information there that even if it doesn’t perfectly fit, can still use it in some way. Happy interviewing, sounds like a great opportunity!

I have an informational interview with a Managing Director on Friday about a manager role. I currently serve in a client services role and do not have traditional consulting experience (billable hours, etc.). Additionally, while I’ve worked with McKinsey, Accenture, McKesson, and other teams on major projects, I don’t have experience putting together the strategy, more of a support function. Feeling a tad intimidated! Any tips would be so very appreciated!

I've been interviewing with some companies, and now I have to decide between JPMorgan Chase and Globant.

Globant is more innovative, and has remote work. I will enter to work with a Sillicon Valley startup based in San Francisco. The tech stack is React, Nextjs, AWS, and a serverless architecture.

JPM is semi remote, and less innovative. The tech stack Java, SpringBoot and AWS. But I'd do more migration tasks, like dockerize projects and pass them to kubernetes. What would you choose?
