Part 3 is gold. I've found interviewers / recruiters aren't able to be direct about the limitations in the role, or sometimes even the prospect of the business. This is a great model for understanding what they are really saying.
I love the interview prep template, but I think its missing a WHY to bridge the gap from the core values of a company with the case studies from a PM's past experience. Do most companies design interview questions/formats based on their core values? Its certainly true for Amazon, with its LPs, but not sure if that's true for other employers. Could you speak to that a little bit?
Thanks for writing this useful framework. Can you elaborate more on staying in the same industry vs changing industry? How to structure career planning with staying/changing industry? Thank you.
Thuy, that's probably a post all in itself. If you're in a certain industry, there may be aspects to it that you don't love. It might be small, constraining, or not pay well. You could decide to change industries to get out of one you don't like, or you could be targeting positive characteristics of another (growing industry, interest in domain, higher comp). As with anything else in your career, you can by proactive by identifying industries you'd like to move into and targeting companies/roles in those industries.
