Currently preparing for FB interview and thinking of calling it off. Going through and using the product and looking at the mock questions I can’t help but feel how boring and meaningless it all feels (who cares about being a PM for “birthdays” or “groups”?). I was initially motivated from a TC perspective but damn... everything about it just seems less exciting and certainly less meaningful / less useful than Apple’s product lineup.

Any advice? Should I get over this feeling and chase the TC or listen to my internal voice?

    I was about to go through the FB interview process twice (because of TC lure) and both times called it off. If I can’t get interested enough for a few interview sessions how could I expect to get excited enough to work there every day? There are other companies where you can get similar, if not the same, TC and actually feel what you’re working on is meaningful. Depends what drives you.

    What if you did so for the learning experience, then if you receive an offer leverage it to get more TC at Apple?

    I am going through the same. FB PM interviews in 10 days. I am not an FB fan to begin with. Watching the interview mocks feels ridiculous. I hustled my way to do PM jobs for 5 years and those exercises are just as I not realistic.

    TC >>>. Also if you’re already prepping for an interview loop you might as well do it, worst case scenario is the same as you calling jt off now.
