AWS interviewer in the last 20 mins of the interview kept insisting that Google analytics cannot track eCommerce conversion rates and acquisition channels. Kept insisting GA can only track high level info like clicks/impressions etc and kept cutting me off when I tried to explain the feature in detail. Seemed like the bar raiser by behavior in general. How do you deal with such interviewers? TC - 150 YoE - 4 #pm #product #productmanager
How do you deal with a coworker who is wrong about something? Same way during an interview.

I will guess you are very early in your career from that answer. You will work with all types of people including ones that have managerial power over you. Coming off as self righteous does not look good. If you don't like the interviewers behavior, don't accept an offer from that group. In this situation, I would have said ok, acknowledged they may have used a different version, and moved on.
Mute his microphone and explain it to them and log off
I had an interviewer at Amazon argue with me about capacity and velocity of a scrum team. He was wrong. I corrected him a few times, but then gave up. He told me read up on this after the interview. I nodded. Never got the job. I did read up and he was wrong. :)
I don't typically like this style of interviewing but it was probably on purpose to see how you'd react. I feel this is stupid because there's a power dynamic in the interview which isn't fully reflective of real life. And we aren't coached to do this. However if you know you're right, and the person is insisting you're wrong, send them proof. "Here's the Google Analytics docs which shows how to track it." Paste it into chime and watch them STFU.
