Apparently I have 4 more back to back 30 minute interviews and I’m freaking out. Please share any tips and some energy to help me get through this!

@All, I watched many YouTube videos to prepare (including mock interviews). I also read the portion about Facebook in the How To Crack the PM interview book. In addition, I practiced ALOT of leet code the week before (coding problem was not too difficult just merging tables and calculating a metric).

The product questions were about how to improve a specific product, what metric(s) I would use, and finally how to analyze a decline in a metric.

I interviewed with Facebook some time ago. I’m curious how did you approach the declining metric question?

Also, for the Muslim fam, I made tons of duaa!

That’s great! Congratulations! Don’t have specific tips for the next round. My initial interview is in 2 weeks. If you had a product interview, I’d love to hear how you went about prepping for it. Best of luck for the next one! You got this!

Okay lo

The recruiter will give you a link with details on each interview type and also there's official mock videos you can watch. I would say they pretty much go the way the mock interviews suggest so expect that pace and type of questions. All the best!

1. I have a month's vacation planned for end of this year. I didn't mention it during the interview process (it was not intentional). Should I mention this to the recruiter when they come to me with the initial offer?
2. Some tips for salary negotiations please?

I’ve been offered a position that I’m really excited about. Their initial offer was 10K more than the top of the salary range they gave me for the position when I asked during the interview process and at the top end of the salary requirements I set for myself. My partner thinks I should still negotiate for more even though I’m happy with the offer. Am I an idiot if I don’t negotiate in this case? Realistically, I don’t think I’d get much more than that, but should I negotiate out of principle?
