Meta technical solutions consultant interview prep - can someone let me know if they have gone through the technical rounds for Technical Solutions Consultant role? Can you share what to prepare for since it’s not a data science type of role so most likely not hard level MySQL questions. Any specific types of queries that I should learn? Thanks!

The best product managers I’ve worked with are well rounded, come from a design/engineering background and go deep in a specific topic like UX.
Without knowing what kind of products you want to manage, I’ll share some tips for mobile/web, because that’s what I know.
The best PMs know how to ask great questions.
They can sit with a user, have a seemingly normal conversation all whilst gleaning all types of super valuable information that inform things like user journey, pain points, the 6 w’s, the inputs and outputs, all types of things.
They can pull out a piece of paper and start wire framing mocks and using them as a visual aid to get feedback in real time.
After a few interviews, and some time with existing products in the landscape, they gain an almost intuitive sense of their users problem and in most cases, they become power users themselves.
They are laser focused on the user, and at the same time they are great at communicating with all stakeholders their expectations, getting alignment, ensuring deadlines are created and met via smart planning and operations.

How is someone a “product manager” at 22? Don’t you need to know the product and know management to be a product manager?
Some companies offer pm as internships or early in career positions. Therefore, it's definitely possible it's just tough to get into.
