I just winded up Product Sense interview at Meta. The interviewer started with quite some intro and then followed up with a question on “why would you like to work at Meta?”. That again took away some time. During the interview, I sensed a lot of urgency from the interviewer to get to articulating the user problem, and the interview overall went not as expected! Because I couldnt follow the structure I had thought I would like follow. Anyone here with insider knowledge of how this might go down?

I'm looking for ideas on measuring personal productivity as a product manager.

E.g.: hours of uninterrupted focus work, total and daily average. Number of client listening/reqs-gathering meetings, weekly or monthly.

I'd like to relate these to outcomes over time.
