Open-ended PM mock interview: get people to read more (product sense w/ ex Instagram and ex-Uber pm)

🎥 Here’s a product management mock interview featuring an ex-Instagram PM & ex-Uber PM focusing on an open-ended product sense case. In this case, the candidate is asked to answer the question “Imagine you’re a PM at a start-up and your goal is to get people to read more, what will you do?”
This type of open-ended product sense question is used in interviews at top tech companies like Google and LinkedIn. It aims to assess candidates' strategic thinking, creativity, and problem-solving abilities. Companies pose such questions to gauge candidates' approach to tackling complex and ambiguous problems, their ability to think outside the box, and their potential to drive innovation within the organization. These questions provide insight into candidates' thought processes, understanding user needs, and capacity to develop innovative solutions that align with the company's mission and goals.
Watch Evelyn Chou (ex-Coursera PM, ex-Uber PM) run Rachel Windzberg (ex-Instagram PM, ex-BCG Consultant, Columbia Business School) through this product sense PM mock interview.

I feel developing world approach was incorrect. People read a lot in these countries problem is we have not reached out to them. If they have resources to read online this can be game changer.
