I had never worked at a big tech company, and StellarPeers was my first introduction to that tech world. I spent a good amount of time studying Malena's practice answers. These were particularly useful because of their high quality, structure, and clarity. I also had about 20 mock interviews with other peers, some of whom became good friends, and shadowed the mocks of more experienced PMs. The mocks were invaluable because I could assess other people's answers, what worked and what didn't, and received feedback and suggestions on how to improve my performance. I also attended a few group and individual coaching sessions. Overall, all StellarPeers offerings were a great way to learn about PM interviews and Facebook products in a short period of time. Prep using StellarPeers was instrumental in my getting an offer from Facebook for a senior data scientist role. I have recommended the platform to others and definitely plan on using it myself again.
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!
The key to cracking a PM interview, is to practice mock-interviewing. I practiced regularly on StellarPeers calendar and it helped me internalize all that I read in books and learn so much more from the techniques, ideas, mistakes and experiences of other candidates. It did give a boost to my confidence for the D day. I definitely recommend StellarPeers.
