Product Management and Biz Ops is so different. I don’t know how one can be a GREAT fit in either with high skill if he/she doesn’t know exactly what he/she wants.

Might as well tag everyone on the app for this question I guess

So I’d spend time just researching around what these roles entail and what skills are needed. Prepping for PM is very different than bizops or strat. Technical fluency isn’t gained from just reading about it

I thought the book Work Rules by lazlo bock was a great way to understand the Google culture and get past the fit interviews.

As for the tech interviews. Those are basically a combination of problem structuring + solid communication + deep tech skills

Idk I work at Apple 😂

I think “cracking the PM interview” is a good place to start - gives you a nice high level overview but as A1 said all the roles are different and you’d need to understand what skills are needed for the role/product

Do you want some help? I specialize in this

Did an interview yesterday that was supposed to be behavioral, but turned out to be more like the case interviews I did in undergrad. I think I showed off my business knowledge, but he kept harping on my lack of an official framework (vs me saying "I'd explore it from different stakeholder perspectives: customer, line employee, management"); pretty sure he considered it a failure.
