Post my 2 phone interviews, I have a virtual onsite coming up for Principal PM -Technical role. My first two phone conversations were very focused on LPs. Any pointers for full interview loop? I would love to connect with Principal PMs or Sr. PMs from Amazon for mock interview. Thanks in advance. TC~ below par + useless startup options, 12+ yrs PM experience #amazon #amazoninterview #productmanagement
Was your first interview with the hiring manager? Was that a formal interview or role for assessment ? In the initial phone interviews, did you apply LPs in your responses?
Yes @booya, first one was with someone outside of group, 2nd one was with HM. Both were very intense in terms of LPs.
Both were formal interviews, one hour each.
L7 cat lead in Retail - lmk if you haven't found your mock yet.
Absolutely!! Thanks @AMZ_Alum.
Are you available for a conversation with me either today or tomorrow? I just received interview email and it has L7, L7.5, and L8. Please let me know. Thanks.
Op: you have an MBA?
Yes.
Is it generally known that amazon pm should have MBA?
This is possibly one of the hardest loops at Amazon. You don’t have the luxury of relying on management experience; you’ll be expected to produce and lead entire product portfolios. The T for technical means you need similar knowledge to that of a principal engineer and will be expected to join your PE in architecture and design work. The SDMs on your loop will be evaluating whether or not you’ll make their life hell. Good luck!
Not true in the slightest. Technical bar is L4 equivalent for PMT. If it’s PMT-ES then the bar is a higher, more like L5.
Agreed with Ack. L6 PMT here, technical bar is definitely not PE level... you just need to know enough to be able to make product decisions for a technical product. For what it’s worth, my technical bar was asking me to describe a technical decision that I made, and they dived deep
Thanks @TnzU10. I am interviewing for the first time with Amazon. At the end of the day, it would be a good experience irrespective of the outcome.
Thanks @day1_coach. Full loop getting scheduled as of now.
Which team are you interviewing with? Some teams are harder than others
It’s a team in customer trust division.
Good luck!!!!
Thanks.
I'm L6. If you don't find any L7s here I can help with a mock
Thanks @dealing. Will DM you.
Hey, I am interviewing for L7 TPM role at Amazon, can you please help me with mock interview?
