I’m interviewing for a Google L4 PM role. I am L5 BDM at AWS, and have demonstrated PM functional skills in my current tech role. Final on-site is in a month.

How much do I need to grind out and study for a successful outcome?

I'd study for it like it was a final exam. The key piece is developing a framework that ensures you don't miss key assumption/definition/clarification opportunities.

Having said that, you also shouldn't stick to your framework too rigidly in your delivery (so much that it comes across as robotic) as PM interviewers speak to candidates with really rigid framework-driven responses and it's a bit unnatural.

All in all, it's a fine balance.

I’m starting at MBB shortly as an associate, laterally from Big 4. Husband & I are trying to decide if we want to buy a house and settle in the city we’re moving to - I am potentially interested in making partner (if possible) but also open if a good exit opportunity comes my way. Exit opps would certainly be in a different location. Anyone have thoughts on ideal length to stay at MBB?
