It was a fun session, thanks for having me!

Putting yourself out there on a public platform is not easy, so kudos to you for doing it

[@whyRamachandran]

In my Microsoft Interview, They only gave me 25-30 Min time frame to process. This session is helpful for the viewer to process and understand how the candidate actually process on uncertain situation.

Can't wait for part 2 🔥

[@AveshFaisalRayeen]

I watched full session. Really helpful and informative @chetan you asked great and impactful questions which is clearly understand it is not a scripted whiteboard session.

3 users are here 1. The one who is looking for the roommate who already has a place to stay 2. Owners 3. Who is looking for the place/roommate So here if the 1st user post about the details they have to pay per post?

[@DesignPilot]

There are only 2 users. The owner is not included. There are many ways to monetise this. Pay per post is just one of the options. It depends on who you want to charge as well. The person who posts or the person who is looking to looking for a place to stay

Could you please share some sample problem statement for whiteboarding challenge, this is just for practice purpose.

[@DesignPilot]

Check my Instagram. All those can be used as problem statements for whiteboarding sessions

[@abunaser9920]

Can we use Chatgpt for verified our assumptions? is it ok to verified your assumption in front of interviewer?

[@DesignPilot]

Maybe not in front of interviewer.

[@aestheticrandom9206]

And on business what if once they find the roomate with same preferences And contact them not through this app ?

[@DesignPilot]

There are ways to block the users from contacting others.

So the problem findings are only the assumptions?

[@DesignPilot]

Could be other things as well

[@ChristianPrince-1]

@@DesignPilot can i ask the interviewer about if these problems are correct?

[@DesignPilot]

Can you give me an example?

[@ChimpoxGameplay]

@@DesignPilot I think he is asking if he can be able to confirm with the interviewer that his solution is correct at the end of the interview.

[@debimishra7325]

Btw where did you get this problem statement?

[@DesignPilot]

There’s a book called Solving Product Design Problem Statements
