When you’re going through sample questions and thinking how you’d answer them, do it out loud. You’ll get more comfortable talking about the stuff when the interview pressure is on, and I’ve found that having to speak my answers out loud forces me to clarify and elaborate on critical parts my mind might have glossed over when just thinking through it!

Hi All - I have a final round case presentation coming up. I have to chose a company and create a 5-6 slide deck on how the company I’m interviewing for could implement its’ solutions to improve revs/profits at the company I chose. For people who have done this with success, do you have any tips? What was your approach with the deck? Did you use their branding/colors?

My company went toxic in the last couple months. Chose me and started interviewing.

If Amazon or any other FAANG/large co gets back to me, is there an acceptable way to not burn bridges with new job and accept or delay start date with FAANG? Or fuck it just hop?

I was a regular PM managing my own vertical and now have the opportunity for a new role in the org. No promo or cash related, just jurisdiction wise.

I'd be focusing on:
For old product-

-automation
For new product-
-Building out from scratch
-UI/UX related user feedback
-sales and marketing focus
-use cases and features

Is this a good move career wise? Love being a PM and looking to grow.
