From the creator of the CIRCLES Method(TM), The Product Manager Interview is a resource you don't want to miss. The world's expert in product management interviews, Lewis C. Lin, gives readers 164 practice questions to gain product management (PM) proficiency and master the PM interview including:

• Google
• Facebook
• Amazon
• Uber
• Dropbox
• Microsoft

The book contains fully solved solutions so readers can learn, improve and do their best at the PM interview. Here are questions and sample answers you'll find in the book:

Product Design

• How would you design an ATM for elderly people?
• Should Google build a Comcast-like TV cable service?
• Instagram currently supports 3 to 15 second videos. We're considering supporting videos of unlimited length. How would you modify the UX to accommodate this?

Pricing

• How would you go about pricing UberX or any other new Uber product?
• Let's say Google created a teleporting device: which market segments would you go after? How would you price it?

Metrics

• Imagine you are the Amazon Web Services (AWS) PM in Sydney. What are the top three metrics you'd look at?
• Facebook users have declined 20 percent week over week. Diagnose the problem. How would you fix the issue?

Many of you have read the PM interview frameworks revealed in Decode and Conquer, including the CIRCLES(TM), AARM(TM) and DIGS(TM) Methods.

The Product Manager Interview is the perfect complement to Decode and Conquer. With over 160 practice questions, you'll see what the best PM interview responses look and feel like.

Many of the sample answers have been re-written from scratch. The sample answers are now stronger and easier to follow. In total, thousands of changes have made in this brand new third edition of the book.
