What you'll learn

What good taste actually means

Learn what interviewers actually evaluate: not model names, but thinking through use cases, tradeoffs, risk and strategy

Pitfalls that signal weak judgment

The AI traps that secretly hurt candidates in interviews: what they sound like, why they backfire, how to avoid them

How to prepare for substance, not buzzwords

How to think on your feet, so when your interviewer pushes back, you're not relying on memorized cookie-cutter framework

Why this topic matters

AI showing up in interviews is old news, but with lines between roles blurring and so many buzzwords out there, how do you actually stand out? This session is about the skills that actually matter - questioning your sources, reasoning through system design tradeoffs, prototyping your way to the right user experience, and building a decision making framework for strategy. 30 content +15 minutes Q&A

Rachel Windzberg - PMAdvising.com

PM leader turned coach. 17+ yrs at Meta, Amazon, Datadog. Helping you level up.

I spent 17+ years leading product at Meta, Amazon, Datadog, Fiverr, and BCG before founding PM Advising, an executive coaching and PM interview prep practice.

My edge is strategy. At Meta, I worked on Reels content distribution and AI recommendation systems at massive scale. At BCG, I learned to structure ambiguous problems and communicate to executives. That combination shapes everything I teach.

I've coached PMs at Google, OpenAI, ElevenLabs, Figma, and Meta through promotions and high-stakes interviews. I also serve as a Career Advisor for Columbia Business School's MBA program.

Most PMs can execute. Few can articulate strategy the way decision-makers understand. We elevate your thinking to the next level and articulate that thinking clearly to pass through interviews and promotions.
