Product Sense & Analytical Thinking Bootcamp for Meta-Style PM Interviews
Ben Erez
Former Product Manager at Meta
Does this sound familiar?
You landed a PM interview at a company that uses Meta-style case screens (e.g. OpenAI, DoorDash, Stripe) and have upcoming Product Sense and/or Analytical Thinking interviews.
You've never succeeded in these types of interviews, or it's been too many years and your rusty. You figure you can get ready in 3-4 weeks so you schedule the first round.
As the days pass, you realize you have no idea how to actually tackle the questions in Lewis Lin's question bank. You wonder, "What's the fastest way for me to ramp up on these interviews?"
I've been in your shoes, taught myself how to ace the interviews and landed a PM role at Meta (back then Facebook).
Six years later, Product Sense and Analytical Thinking are two of the most common PM interviews in tech, many top companies inspired by Meta.
And these interviews are basically the same as they were in 2020.
With AI catalyzing a massive push for senior talent in big tech, IC6+ roles are growing like wildfire with total comp packages from $300k to $1MM+ for elite PM roles at top companies.
If you're rusty with case interviews, you need this course (or one like it) to get ready. Otherwise you'll struggle to pass them. It's the truth.
