Description

Landing a startup product job is hard. Nailing the case study can get you there.

You'll learn how to structure your case assignments, watch a few successful product case studies and create your own case study showcasing your process, communication and defense. You can use it as a template for all product interviews moving forward, increasing your chances of getting hired as a PM at a startup.


What you’ll get out of the course:

  • Understand what startups are looking for in product hires: Startups are looking to get clarity on your process, communication, and how you defend your case.

  • Examine the typical assignments given during startup product interviews: The prompts for product assignments fall into only a handful of possibilities. They will let you choose a product of your own or give you a specific product or they might ask about a product you've already worked on. They want to see how you analyze the existing product and how you would improve it.

  • Watch successful case presentations: You will see me present 3 case presentations that were successful in landing me the job that fall into the 3 types of product assignments that are typically given out.

  • Build a case study utilizing a product framework: You'll learn how to use product frameworks to create a presentation for a common product case study given as a take-home assignment.

  • Defend your case study with frameworks for making product decisions: You will learn frameworks for prioritization, market segmentation, validation, and measuring success.

  • Interviewing for the first time in over a decade and transitioning back to being a PM after almost 7 years being a founder, I was feeling overwhelmed and lost on how to get back into interviewing.
