Definitely, sacred seven is also good. The strongest point in both is the examples answering interview questions

It’s good, but I wouldn’t rely solely on it. Cracking The PM Interview has been a good complement for me, plus Rocket Blocks and assorted YouTube vids

Good book so I’d recommend it and other resources like TryExponent

Thanks everyone. I’ve ordered it but I’ll supplement the prep with the resources you mentioned
