In this talk, Gayle McDowell taught how to prepare for Product Manager interviews, what top companies like Google, Amazon, and Microsoft really look for, and how to tackle the toughest problems.
Gayle discussed how the ambiguously-named "PM" (product manager / program manager) role varies across companies, what experience you need, how to make your existing experience translate, what a great PM resume and cover letter look like, and finally, how to master the PM interview questions (estimation questions, behavioral questions, case questions, product questions, technical questions, and the super important "pitch").
Gayle McDowell is the author of the book "Cracking the PM Interview", the #1 interview prep book for aspiring product managers. She is also the Founder and CEO of CareerCup and the author of Cracking the Coding Interview and Cracking the Tech Career.
Gayle has worked as a Software Engineer for Google, Microsoft and Apple and has extensive interviewing experience on both sides of the table. She has interviewed and received offers from Google, Microsoft, Apple, Amazon, IBM, Goldman Sachs and a variety of other firms, and she has interviewed over 120 candidates at Google and served on its hiring committee.

One of the most relevant, enriching, and contributing lectures I've come across. I'm so glad I found this, completely by coincidence!
Thank you Thank you Thank you!
An excellent presentation. She gives lots of example of project management. People learn well by listening to stories and figuring out the required skills. She comes across as thoughtful rather than arrogant. There is a fine line between exuding confidence in ultimate success and arrogance (I never fail). The book "Thinking Beyond Lean" by Michael Cusumano and Kentaro Nobeoka is an excellent look at actual product development and management.
Thank you for this class! It didn't literally applied to my field but the concepts just lighted a lamp in my head. Thanks again Product School for bring us an amazing speaker and Gayle for her amazing insights! 🙏🏻📚
Watching this before reading the book is so helpful! Really thankful to Product School for uploading this talk.
Bit late to the video but not only do I think this is good for PM interviews or technical interviews I think this is good advice for any form of interview. She's going over how you should talk to portray yourself as strong, confident, and a good manager.
One of the best lecture I have seen on product management and interviewing at the Tech companies.
Thank you @ Gayle McDowell for sharing your knowledge & insights. People like you make this world a better place.
She basically summarized her book. The entire thing! Awesome stuff.
“ I am passionate about i never wrote a line a code “ ... haha, this is so true. If you are curious and passionate, it is so easy to learn and build a simple app with online class... do the extra work and standout from everybody else!
Outstanding ! Thank you. I need to listen again with a notepad 👍🏻
Very insightful interview. Love the presenters honesty.
Good points have been discussed. Thank you
I have used this slide deck and watched this video multiple times. Has been really useful for job interviews. Have been able to get mutiple offers to join as PM. Grateful to Product School and Gayle!
From where did you get the deck? Can you share that to me?
@@ankushmathur5671 Here are the slides docs.google.com/presentation/d/1RIBWU9lRD9qfMW7ZvKGPT5HOWM0yeuK6nU4q7xI5lCo/edit#slide=id.p
@@ankushmathur5671Slide info is mentioned within the first 2 minutes of the video
You are awesome. Thank you for this.
Your book is fantastic. Thanks for making this presentation publicly available!
great stuff - super helpful!
I felt the presentation was informative. It's clear Gayle understands technology niche sectors and she gets into specific examples about Product Management. Thank you for sharing this important information.
Thanks for watching, great that you've enjoyed it!
Great insights!
This us EXACTLY what I needed. I have a PM interview next week fingers crossed 🤞🏽
Hello Saya, hope it was?
Great content, I’ve seen that in some companies the traditional ‘Business Analyst’ roles are being replaced with Product Manager roles. How do the typical BSA role compare with PM role?
This was incredible! Thank you.
This video is very helpful...I have a PM interview tomorrow and it has helped me to collect my thoughts and achievements together and be able to sell myself better. Thanks Gayle and Product School.
how did u do in your interview ?
the internet wants to know! how did you do?
@@znlivesports Hello Zhang
@@jh0720 Thank you for this! _/\_
How did it go?
for those jumping around, product design is @38:11
Amazing presentation. Great information but the video is lengthy.
Powerful information, so many insight, thanks a lot! Kindly fix presentation link.
Hello! Which presentation link are you having trouble with?
28:22 more peole need to hear this regardless of their career path
Great
This was incredible useful.
So glad to hear!
Completely agree with you. I have this interview tomorrow and feeling I'm gonna kill it. Thanks !!
What level of technical skills is considered acceptable
Are the million ads part of teaching about being a product manager.
Nice one from a seasoned tech luminary
Gayle, dont slowdown. Its a video, everyone can watch it infinitely .
Very true! :)
Justin DuBois uh....this is RUclips so how about 0.75x play back speed
May I pls know where can we get the slides?
Hello! You can view the slides from this talk here: prdct.school/3qUUuF2
Its 3 years old video and PRODUCT SCHOOL was promoting it today as a LIVE session. What kind of marketing it is. such a shame
I don't think her speed was that bad
That's the spirit!
Please add Russian subtitles
I disagree with the example given at 22:10. My brother wakes up every morning at 4AM to practice basketball. He sets his own alarm, gets ready, drinks milk, packs a snack and heads out to be back home by 8AM. The same brother does not wake up even at 9AM to go to AP classes and keeps missing them consistently. We need to stop pulling singular examples to classify a human as hard working and perseverant. An interview lasts roughly 45min and it is impossible to give the one best example from your life that the interviewer will connect to.
Companies are doomed if all HR consultant consult this material. God help us.
Lol
Is this American accent?! Half the words get eaten up and chewed!
Still good content! 👏
Yes, but she also has a lisp and very much talks in that "I work in Silicon Valley and I can't be bothered to spend more time talking to you than is absolutely required" sort of way that everyone in tech eventually develops.
it's an informative video but she is kinda slow, the video could have been shorter than that length!
Someone else complains that she's too fast, you complain that she's too slow...I guess that's just how life is.
increase the speed
@@princeonyeabor4989 speaking fast is different from the topic being delivered slow. She is great at the topic, could speak slightly slow but content could be shortened.
sidebar: amazing that she is not affected by multiple people coming and trying to fix the display. It would have been great if they took a pause for a min, fix the issue and resume.
Otherwise this is greatly helpful.
The million of ads are really annoying, did stop watching it.
