Course overview
My Qualifications
While preparing for the Meta PM interviews as a candidate, I found the online resources too complicated and verbose. Some guides are 100 pages long! And the YouTube video mocks don't break down the strategy in an actionable way that I could apply to interviews. I ended up creating my own playbook to land the role.
As a Product Manager at Meta, I conducted 40+ interviews with candidates and even trained new interviewers on the Product Sense and Analytical Thinking interviews (back then still "Execution"). Since leaving Meta, I've coached dozens of candidates.
I later used the same exact playbook to land a Lead PM role at Attentive, which had Product Sense and Execution interviews looking for similar signals.
About the course
In this course, I’ll teach you how to run Product Sense and Analytical Thinking interviews in a way that gives the interviewer the signals they need within the allotted 45 minutes. Nothing more, nothing less.
I've done this by packaging the most useful advice I repeat to my coaching clients into a simple and actionable playbook that anyone can follow. I know it's the most useful because that's what people have thanked me for the most.
When thinking about the ROI on this course, it's probably best to look at the compensation packages at Meta, which are at the top of the market across all levels of PM seniority (data from levels.fyi):
L5 = $350k
L6 = $585k
L7 = $940k
Director = $1.4M
Senior Director = $2.2M

Pratyush Tallapragada
Former Product Manager at Meta
I've been a founder, joined three different startups as their first PM, and held senior PM roles at Meta and Attentive. After leading product & design at Continuum, a marketplace for fractional executives, I now partner with early stage teams as an advisor and interim first PM, helping founders define the PM role prior to making a full-time hire.
My experience spans many different models: B2B SaaS (Abstract), martech (Attentive), ads (Facebook), consumer (Life360, Breathe, Canvas), automotive fintech (Breeze -> Canvas), marketplace (Continuum).
I've been through the entire spectrum of funding cycles: angel, Series A (Breeze, Continuum), Series B (Life360, Abstract), Series C (Life360, Abstract), Series E (Attentive), and post-IPO (Facebook).
