🎯 4-Session Interview Preparation Program
Master Analytical & Leadership Interviews Like a $700K PM
Duration: 4 sessions (each 60–75 min) · Ideal for: Professionals preparing for FAANG-level or strategic product, data, or architecture interviews.
Session 1: The 5 Signals Interviewers Score
Objective: Understand what interviewers actually measure and how to demonstrate each signal naturally.
Key Focus Areas
- Goal Setting – Create goals that align with team, product, and organizational outcomes.
- Trade-offs – Articulate structured decision-making with incomplete data.
- Problem Analysis – Find root causes rather than jumping to solutions.
- Ensuring Success – Show how you unblock teams and drive projects forward.
- Leadership – Guide cross-functional teams through ambiguity and complexity.
Outcome: A self-assessment map showing your current score in each signal and how to strengthen weak areas.
Session 2: Step 1 – What’s Happening? (Clarifying the Problem)
Objective: Learn to restate and align on the problem before solving — a hallmark of analytical excellence.
Key Practices
- Restate the question to confirm alignment.
- Replace “naked questions” with assumption-based clarifications.
Examples:
- “I’m assuming we’re focusing on the U.S. market for consumers 18–45. Does that work?”
- Structured assumption framing: “I’m assuming [assumption]. Does that work?”
Outcome: Confidence managing ambiguous prompts and steering the discussion with clarity.
Session 3: Step 2 – What’s Your Approach? (Building Frameworks)
Objective: Build visible, logical frameworks that showcase structured thinking.
Approach by Question Type
- Estimation: Create an equation → State assumptions → Run numbers.
- Root Cause: Break down components → Identify critical paths → Generate hypotheses.
- Goal Setting: Start from mission → Define product success → Select 3 metrics (North Star, Counter, Health).
Pro Tip: Always write your framework where the interviewer can see it — this shows real-time organization.
Outcome: 3 custom interview frameworks for estimation, root cause, and goal setting.
Session 4: Step 3 – What’s About to Happen? (Communicating Insights)
Objective: Present your thought process with executive clarity and control.
Sequence Mastery
- Jot down framework visibly.
- Give overview of what you’ll cover.
- State assumptions clearly.
- Incorporate interviewer feedback.
- Share insights confidently.
Bonus Practice: Handle “zero-guidance” situations — when the interviewer gives you nothing.
“The best candidates don’t wait for direction; they state their assumptions clearly and ask ‘Does that work?’”
Outcome: A repeatable communication rhythm that projects confidence, composure, and strategic thinking.
