@Jay Feng: You can't just answer every clairifying question with "what do you think"

This is such a great vedio!! Thanks Jay and Eshan!! You guys did an awesome job doing this mocking interview! I felt like I am watching a true interview from Faang, and an extremetly tough one!! Jay, you grilled Eshan pretty hard! But I learned a lot from Eshan's thinking process and approach!! Thank you both!

[@jujulee3303]

Hey Jay! Thank you for the video. Do you have any plan to improve the audio quality or add subtitles? It would be so much helpful for me (or other watchers) to catch better what concepts exactly are discussed in the video. Thanks!

[@NP-ek7dl]

Really great interview back and forth!

[@annxiao7721]

Great mock, thanks to both!

[@victoruong1677]

Clarifying questions are a must for product type interviews, but Eshan asked wayyyy too many. I think a better way is to list out potential factors and then ask the interviewer to narrow down which issue it could be.

Exactly what I was thinking

[@zhefeng4949]

i felt confused for the metric discussed in the video: is it just the friend requests being sent or is it the friend requests being sent and accepted. I see an inconsistent discussion here

[@avinashravipati9002]

Great video! I watched it and maybe I missed something, but I didn't notice any discussion about search algorithms that might impact how people find their friends. Has there been a change recently that could explain a 10% drop?

[@kandarp003]

Is there a gradual drop in new users registration over a year? Any new user needs friends to interact with. That means more friends request sent == more requests accepted.

U can’t say “FB is for old people!” 😂

[@KevinOneStyle]

Isn't this is an analytical /execution type of interview instead of product sense? :)

[@mistmak3r]

completely agree! this is the wrong interview - major mistake
