@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!
