I love the feedback snippets. Best PM interview series on KZbin.

[@IGotAnOfferPM]

Thanks Anuj, we really appreciate that, as will Anika and Akshat!

Very glad I found this channel. This video is awesome! I've picked up a lot of cool insights (and tricks) whilst going through this that certainly will help me in my own interviews.

[@IGotAnOfferPM]

Thanks Leslie, we're really chuffed that you've found it helpful. Plenty more to come! :)

[@Alex-kf4pl]

Great content!! Please keep ‘em coming. But it would be awesome using a whiteboard or sharing your screen while brainstorming this type of questions to follow through. Just a suggestion though.

[@IGotAnOfferPM]

Hi Alex, glad you like it :) We will indeed keep em coming - make sure to subscribe and check out our other similar videos! kzbin.info/door/FJy5E_3XknWv42cvedoALw In regards to your suggestion, we do show some screen sharing in the video so you can see Anika's calculations, I guess you'd like to see more of that at the early, brainstorming stage? In this video it proved a bit tricky to edit, but we'll keep that in mind for future videos. Thanks and good luck!

Carry on guys. you are doing a great job. Have some more interviews like this on the channel.

[@IGotAnOfferPM]

Thanks Rachit, I'm really glad you found it useful. We've got two other Google PM mock interviews on our channel, with more to come over the next few weeks and months :) 'How would you improve Chrome?'

Perfect channel thanks for the content

How these people are so fast in calculations do they use calculator or just mind calculations coz im finding it very difficult

[@imDebajyoti]

There can be another segment of users here- emergency drivers(ambulance, fire trucks etc.). And if a normal commuter stops at 15% of total time in stop lights, these users will stop less in case of emergencies

[@IGotAnOfferPM]

Hi Debajyoti, yes you're right - in fact there are probably a few other types of users that, in an ideal world, you could segment to. However, in an interview situation, you have to limit yourself to fairly broad segments - and I suspect that the volume of emergency drivers probably isn't high enough to warrant including in Anika's answer here.
