What Customers Say


Just landed a PM position at Twitter! I credit this course for my success in the interview process. Going through the practice questions and answers helped me develop a better understanding of what interviewers are looking for. Highly recommend taking this course if you want to succeed in your PM interviews!

I was so intimidated to begin preparing for PM interviews. But this course made the entire process so easy and digestible. All the concepts in the course are explained in great detail and the frameworks make remembering how to answer interview questions so simple. I'm so much more confident about my upcoming interviews!
