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!

Congratulations!! How would you say you prepared?

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!

Hi fishes
I was supposed to have my
Amazon Round 3 interview in the first week of May but the interviewer didn't join. My recruiter didn't reply for a few days and then rescheduled it.
Even in this rescheduled interview, my interviewer didn't join. This time my recruiter joined and said she'll reschedule my interview.
She still hasn't done that even after a follow up.
Is this common? Is this some kind of patience test?
I have no clue but I'm really frustrated at this point.
Please suggest
