After two unsuccessful attempts with Facebook, I finally made it on my third attempt, after I booked a private coaching session with Malena. Malena explained the rules of the game when interviewing with Facebook, provided me with invaluable insights and tips during our practice session, and helped me improve my frameworks and presentation. I will join Facebook as a product manager in one of their enterprise products teams! If you plan on interviewing with a big tech firm, Malena is a resource you should definitely use.
For product managers who are not native speakers or have delivery problems during the high-pressured virtual interview, I highly recommend you come to StellarPeers to Practice, Practice, and Practice. I am a product manager with 8+ years of work experience in China and moved to the States at mid-age. Without systematic training from any U.S. university and career service, I was able to find a senior product management role at Pinterest through mock interviews at StellarPeers. StellaPeers effectively helped me to deliver my thoughts at an almost stable performance. I also iterated my own frameworks by collecting feedback from mock partners of various backgrounds.
I just wanted to pass a quick note to thank you for fostering this awesome community. I signed up for a purely functional reason of watching videos and practicing mock interviews with others, but I'm walking away with so much more than that. With 90+ mocks completed, I met smart, kind, capable people empowering and helping each other. I was exhausted, doubting myself, but someone from the community gave me kind words and showed empathy each time. I have met great friends that I'd love to keep in touch with. After a grueling 10 weeks, I got an offer from Meta — And the first thing that came to my mind was the awesome StellaPeers community! Thank you for hosting an awesome community and great content!
