Hello OP,

Thank you for your help. I have got a Facebook TPM interview lined up. Would you mind sharing some tips or what to expect?
(for some reason I couldn't DM you. So can you DM me and I'll try to reply or give me your burner, please? šŸ™šŸ½)

Sorry my response is probably too late, but Iā€™ve never interviewed for PM roles in tech. If theyā€™re similar to DS then itā€™s partly product sense, partly coding (SQL/R/Python), and partially stats/probability. Hope it worked out for you!

Also as stated in another response, Iā€™ve found FB interviews to be more about being correct/quick since the questions themselves are not too difficult.

Feel free to ask about compensation, interview process/difficulty, how I got the interview, wlb/culture etc

Did the interview process at Spotify stand out compared to the others?

likefunny

I think youā€™re way more aggressive/sarcastic than me? Also what opinion am I trying to seek? Iā€™m pretty well informed on the role as Iā€™ve interviewed for it in my undergrad as well(itā€™s not ML/Data Mining heavy at all itā€™s called DS, Analytics for a reason. If you want to make algos and get a PhD in CS then sure go for DS, Core but thatā€™s not what me and most people here are interested in).

like

Iā€™m gonna take a crazy leap here and guess these are not high paying roles. When folks talk these exits they talk offers of 350k minimum total comp and I know those uber offers were probably under 100k based on how cheap they are.

Why would you do that to yourself...

like

As mentioned most of these I did not apply to myself. I only applied 3 times to positions on LinkedIn. I responded to recruiters that DMed me for positions that I could possibly be interested in and agreed to interview, which is why the roles were so varying. I myself only targeted Data Science in tech but thatā€™s not exactly easy to land and I wanted to keep other options open.

Tell me more about black rock, how did you get it, what their offer was, everything. And whatā€™s your background

like

I also got this through a recruiter DM. My background is tier 2, 1 yoe, engineering bachelor and masters from an ivy. Process was call with hiring manager then 2 rounds of on-site interviews with 5 interviews each with members of the team (10 total). All behavioral and no casing/technical (ie excel, sql etc). It was closest to finance interviews where they drill you and pressure test you with random facts. For instance I got asked the exact number AUM of BlackRock. I donā€™t even know if it matters if you answer correctly because I was pretty far off when I googled it later and they still asked me back for the next round. Comp was ~100K base and the role was ā€œAssociate, Analytics Advisoryā€

like

You mention you were contracted through LinkedIn often. What does your LinkedIn look like? Do you have lots of details about your responsibilities at previous roles/jobs or do you just have time worked and title?

like

My LinkedIn I donā€™t think is anything special. I have the open to opportunities marked though for recruiters to reach out. As I mentioned, my background is in engineering and I had a pretty high GPA (I graduated magna cum laude) at an Ivy and did my Masters with my undergrad in 4 years, which could be why big tech firms reached out.

In terms of specifically what my LinkedIn looks like, I have descriptions in bullets for my internships and no description for my consulting experience (as I mentioned I only have 1 yoe full time).

What kind of consulting projects have you worked on to date?

Mostly FS and modeling type projects. Like I said I was an engineer, so I tended to get staffed on more quantitative projects. Iā€™ve had projects that were purely coding and 0 client interaction

Which one did you pick? What were the roles at all these firms

Havenā€™t decided yet. Facebook, Spotify and DoorDash were DS. Yext was Data Analyst (BI group). Uber and Lyft were Operations. JPM and Cap One were strategy and BlackRock was their internal consulting group.

What role did you interview for at DoorDash? What was the process like? If there was a case, what did the case entail? What was your overall impression of DoorDash?

Thank you!!!!

Got it, thanks for the insight!

Did you use any resume writing or editing services?
Did you have referrals to all those companies?

No to resume writing, although my resume skews pretty technical for a consultant (undergrad and masters in engineering). I had referrals to Spotify, Yext, and Facebook. The most common way I got interviews was actually DMs from recruiters on LinkedIn.

No Iā€™ve never applied to Google, Iā€™m too scared. šŸ˜‚šŸ˜‚ Iā€™ve heard their interviews are hard and the process takes a super long time. Most of my interviews only took from contact to offer 2-3 weeks when Google can take up to 6 months. Iā€™ve been trying to optimize for easiest interview for best job and didnā€™t think Google was worth my time to prep for
