I have a fb execution interview coming up and I've been preparing for "what's the best metric for x product" and "what would you do if you see a drop in users?" Are there any other common question types I should anticipate for the execution round? Thanks in advance!

    So there's three main questions every execution interview comes down to. You got two of them. The third is the contrasting metrics question where you are presented with a scenario such as you ship a new ui experience which causes stories shared to go up but feed posting goes down vs the control group. What do you do? Essentially a 10 out of 10 response will dissect what might be causing this, if it can be fixed such that you only get the good metric movement and not the bad. Usually the interviewer will imply it's not possible to force you to make a product call. In these scenarios, they are looking to see if you can think big picture about what's more important and why. It's important to think from the company level and not the product level for these sort of these questions as it's very likely these sort of decisions will get escalated as either the stories team or the feed teams' topline metric will go down.

    Hope that helps. Feel free to DM me if you need notes or tips for the product sense round when you get to it

    Hey, for the execution interview these are pretty much all the questions:

    - What metrics would you track for [product]?
    - Define a goal and metric for success for [product].
    - [Metric] of [product] has decreased. Investigate and find out why.
    - Choose between [feature A, feature B, feature C... etc].
    - What if [product A] doing well is at the expense of [product B]?
