I have been contacted by a recruiter and took one month of serious prep, did a tone of mock interviews, read cracking PM and other materials. I thought I did well but apparently not enough to pass the bar. No feedback but the rejection email says I can apply in 12 months ;-) 3 Good things is I pushed myself to create the momentum of interview prep, I learned a lot in the process and feel confident I can use that for other interviews. Failed this time but grew from experience.
What do you feel you did poorly on?
Most likely the analytics. He asked me if I'd be worried about 1% decrease in YouTube views. I've formulated an opinion but didn't went into quantifying what it exactly means and eval impact in quantitative way. I immediately realized it and tried to take back my answer but he said let's move on...
Oof, the dreaded “let’s move on.” I’m surprised they didn’t want to hear you out to at least get your thought process, whether it was correct or incorrect.
Your first answer has to be sharp and it was towards the end of the interview.
People hire people they like. I wouldn’t worry about nitpicking your performance on analytics or other bullshit. That too in a PM interview. Just ensure you are likeable and then it’s all luck of the draw. Just like dating - when there’s chemistry, what you say doesn’t matter much.
Agree I did 3 rounds yesterday it was an instant dislike on who interviewed me for last round she was a total #%*

Worried that our top performer is an attrition risk. How do managers handle this?

Avoid teams with only Chinese or Indians especially with a Chinese/Indian manager

Was this for a SW PM Role ? Use the prep for other interviews
Yes, need to digest this and move on. Any suggestions where to start? I am flexible in geography US only though...
Sorry i am into HW PM. You should look at FAANG and startups
