Awesome, yah these estimation questions can really throw you off if you have never practiced them before. Thanks for the positive feedback!

Hi, can I know some of the most important statistics here? such as which country or city come up the most on these kinds of questions, or what materials come up often for the weight or volume sort of questions

[@jeffhsipepi]

Yozafard XII222, typically the location will be based on a geography you are knowledgeable about, specifically, if you live in the US, it will be about the US market. Knowing details about other countries is not expected. Weight or volume could be anything really, these are less common estimation questions. I hope this helps!

Hi Jeff, Thanks for the video. Have one question, do these estimation questions we get for campaign manager roles in Google. Thanks.

[@jeffhsipepi]

Saheli, typically, these questions are for Product Managers, but just having an idea of how to answer them will be helpful. Good luck!!

Thanks for your reply.

Hi Jeff, You mention white boarding these answers...do they typically ask estimation questions during the initial phone interview as well? Thanks so much!

[@jeffhsipepi]

Nandita, it depends on the role. You could definitely get an estimation question in the phone interview, these questions are more commonly asked to Product Managers, but definitely be ready for one. They fall in the lower likelihood category, but you want to be ready for anything! I hope this helps!

​@@jeffhsipepi Hi Jeff, thanks for your amazing content and insight--I recently discovered your channel, and am a big fan! I'm looking to interview for a position that's a combination product analyst/data scientist role. Do you know if I would likely encounter estimation questions, or if they're mainly for PM roles?

[@jeffhsipepi]

@@zhangshinyi Always ask your Recruiter to make sure, but estimation questions could be asked for other roles or a hybrid role. But the most likely role is product management. Good question!
