Abstract

Course overview

Does this sound familiar?

You’re excited about the opportunity to land a PM role at a major tech company, but the interview process feels like a maze. Despite all the advice online, you’re still second-guessing yourself. What exactly are they looking for? How do you stand out?


You’ve tried prepping on your own: reviewing countless resources, practicing frameworks, and memorizing examples. But you’re not sure if you’re actually getting better. You’re stuck wondering, “Am I ready?”


It’s frustrating.


Tech interviews are more competitive than ever. With every passing year, the bar seems to get higher. Plus, many companies are leaning even harder on Product Sense and Analytical Thinking to evaluate PMs.


If you’re not confident in these areas, you’re at a serious disadvantage going into interviews.



Now imagine if you could:


✅ Walk into your interviews with a clear plan and actionable frameworks that work across any question or scenario.


✅ Understand exactly how interviewers think and what they’re looking for when assessing Product Sense and Analytical Thinking.


✅ Lead discussions confidently, showcasing your strategic thinking and creativity, even under pressure.


✅ Communicate structured, compelling answers without sounding rehearsed.


✅ Use feedback loops and mock interviews to refine your performance in real time.


✅ Leave your interviews knowing you’ve nailed it—and more importantly, proven that you’re the PM they’re looking for.



Getting started is easy:


1️⃣ Watch my free lightning lessons on Maven to understand the fundamentals of Product Sense and Analytical Thinking interviews. Upcoming.


2️⃣ Join the live cohort to master the skills and frameworks you need to excel in Product Sense and Analytical Thinking interviews at top tech companies. You’ll get hands-on experience with mock interviews, actionable feedback, and tips to stand out.


3️⃣ Continue practicing with lifetime access to the course materials—including a library of templates and practice resources to keep you sharp for future interviews. You also get lifetime access to me - email anytime.

        Ben was incredibly helpful in preparing for the nuances of Meta's product management interviews. He had great examples and was very well versed in each interview style.

        Your sessions were insightful, grounded in practicality and helped me add structure to my thinking and approach. 3 things stood out: 1) your frameworks are simple and based on first principles 2) you nudged me to think about my personal experiences 3) you helped me build a structure/format that suits me

Ben Erez

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).
