These are the kind of questions you'll get when you interview for a role in product management, and this book is here to help you answer them.Getting into product management is a tough nut to crack - it's the classic problem of not being able to find a PM job without experience, but not being able to get experience without finding a PM job.

If you're in engineering, you have a deep understanding of how products work. The goal of this book is to show you how to take that experience and parlay it into a job in product management. I'll help you take the work that you've done and turn it into well-crafted answers to common PM interview questions, so you come off as a thoughtful person with the skills to do the job.In this book, I'll walk you through the full process of finding a PM job, from locating job openings, to evaluating companies, to applying and going through multiple stages of the interview process.
