Both CSAT and NPS are lagging metrics, which take time (end of month etc) for a PM to read signals. A good leading metric is usage %, time spent etc with the product. Also, I would pick one pain to solve and present 3-4 solutions instead of doing a pain-solution combo.
yep exactly. North star metric should be time spent on browser, you would want this to increase over time. Segmenting should be done based on jobs to be done -> what needs are underserved on google chrome?
I have this thought in my mind, If I watch RUclips videos on Chrome, Will you consider it as time spent on the browser or time spent on the content? how can this really be a North Star metric? I would have prioritized the fact that Chrome drains a lot of my laptop battery, heats up my laptop, and consumes a lot of RAM, this is probably faced by every user of Chrome. @@user-jp7ni5xv1r
Would have liked to hear more about how he would measure CSAT, also agree with the leading vs lagging indicators comment. On pain points, he didn’t explain why the pain point he chose to solution for is better to drive toward the selected goal. And while it’s good to reference personal experiences, it felt like he was just trying to solve his own problem vs exhibiting user empathy.

Great content. Just a feedback here: Maybe you should show how much time was used thinking for list solutions and so on. That well bring to us a more realistic sense.
Interesting take on the chrome improvement question. I likely would have echoed the mission of the company first then double down on the collection of additional data aspect and display it to the user based on search relevancy. For example if I were to search for LA clippers I would show flyouts of latest game results along with merchandise and also ways to watch the next game. Counter metric here would be drop off due to too much different info types and make chrome busier than it needs to etc Structure and presentation here was very sound and easy to follow. The issue with memory consumption and getting lose with tabs are both very real and relatable
Akshat is amazing and I love all his interviews. One piece of feedback is: He picked "Productivity" as pain point, but didn't explain why. It would have been nicer to hear what criteria he used to pick that pain point to focus on
Thanks Anchal! If you didn't already, you can subscribe to our channel as we'll be releasing loads more PM mock interviews over the next weeks and months. ruclips.net/channel/UCFJy5E_3XknWv42cvedoALw
Very good! great answer and very very good video overall, SUBSCRIBED! one point for improvment from my side: He mentioned a lot HIS point of view, and i think in those parts he should look through the eyes of the users and not only from the eyes of himself, like a true PM does. one more thing, it would be nice if you add analysis to the interview at the end with pros and cons :) can add a lot. amazing overall, 9/10.
Hi Omer, glad you liked the video :) To respond to your point about adding extra analysis at the end, sure, I'll keep that in mind for future videos. Obviously we already have the feedback sections throughout the interview but I can see that some extra analysis at the end could be helpful. In regards to your point about Akshat answering from a user perspective, I actually think he does that pretty well - he describes different various types/segments of users and evaluates what their needs might be. Anyway, thanks so much for your feedback, make sure you a few of the other the interviews on our channel!
Great video, it's definitely pointed me in the direction that I need to improve my skills. In a real-world scenario, does your interviewer send you the question "How would you improve google Chrome?" so that you can prepare for it? Thank you!
Glad you found it helpful. No, you won't get the question in advance, certainly not in interviews for companys like Google, Meta, etc. You'll need to be ready with a method that you can apply to any question to help you structure your answer. You can learn more with our guide to design questions here: igotanoffer.com/blogs/product-manager/product-design-questions Good luck!
Awesome Video! I do have a question/feedback. I noticed that the user segmentation was very sparce. Chrome was only sliced in 1 type of user (Power user, light user, etc), and no other use case or user segment was mentioned. Is this on purpose? Should we keep user segments relatively light (Pun not intended).
I find it funny that these people were Google PMs. None of the things you mentioned is a business goal. Biz goal is ALWAYS revenue. Everything else are product objectives to achieve that. You need to make that very clear

Hey Udayan, agreed that would also have been a good approach. Thanks for the feedback

Please have more of Akshat on here!! He’s amazing.
Request noted!

I really loved the feedback snippets.
Thanks Anuj, it takes a while to edit them in so that's really nice to hear!

Fair point, thanks for the feedback :)
What a great approach, I loved it! You guys are doing a fantastic job. Awaiting for more such videos.

This is a great example! One question is i know it may seem obvious, but between those two pain points why do we choose productivity to focus?
Good point, the interviewer should have got him to explain that choice (or ideally he should said why without prompting)
Awesome Mock interview !! I love your approach and thought process..
Really glad you like it, Alex! We've got plenty more in the pipeline, so make sure to subscribe if you want to see more 😃

Akshat could have mentioned more user segments, yes. Feel free to segment a bit more, time permitting.
this is excellent!
Great content! Loved it
Glad you enjoyed it!
Why is DAU user acquisition vs engagement?
Should be an engagement metric rather than an acquisition metric.
I find it funny that these people were Google PMs. None of the things you mentioned is a business goal. Biz goal is ALWAYS revenue. Everything else are product objectives to achieve that. You need to make that very clear
Biz goal can be to increase market share
segmentation was very weak,
light, middle, heavy
