PM interview rejects from Apple, Twitch, Atlassian, Credit Karma, Facebook, Affinity, Cruise,
Since January. Some after 1st round. Some after onsite. Not sure what I'm doing wrong. It is very frustrating. Need some motivation. Current TC: 227K YOE: 6 PM/6 non-PM
What resources have you used for prep?
Being a PM myself and having co-founded a startup and hiring people myself have some experience. But I did prep through Cracking the PM interview, Decode and Conquer, Collected a list of questions from various companies from Glassdoor (About 120 questions and growing). PM interviews are way too subjective and I cannot tell what I am doing wrong. I come out with a great feeling only to see a rejection email.
Happened to me too. 8 companies out of which 5 on sites. Finally nailed a FAANG. Out of 8, onsite at Nutanix, BitGo, FB, LinkedIn, Google. Phone screen didn't get past Tanium, Illumio, Vmware, Proofpoint I think many interviewers look for unicorn candidates (has to be a 110% fit). IMHO it's crapshoot. Sometimes they look for very technical expertise, sometimes it's your ability to spin. time frame 7 months. Hang in there and keep fine tuning your domain knowledge, Competitive landscape, Tech knowledge etx.
Thank you.
Hang in there. Any idea which specific aspect you are not doing well? I feel a lot of companies look for domain knowledge. You list of companies seem pretty wide ranging. Maybe double down in your domain?
I don't think it is domain knowledge. None of the questions they asked was domain related. Mostly abstract design challenges. Maybe I am asking too few or too many clarifying questions. I don't know.
hope this helps you... https://www.rooftopslushie.com/request/123
Hang in there. Over period of how many weeks? How did you get so many Interview calls? Last 2 weeks seems to be slow.
Over 4 months.
