Technical program managers at FAANG, would anyone mind describing the level of technical aptitude you had to show in the interviews? I have an interview with Google but do not have a technical background at all. Have heard program manager doesn’t require the aptitude that product would. How true is this?

Any role (except sales) requires basic tech understanding and aptitude - if not during interview then for sure during day to day job.

Expect a lot of technical judgement questions. Like what technical aspect did you leverage in making a decision?
