What most excites you about your new job?

I'm excited about new challenges and getting back to consumer devices.

Where were you previously?

Microsoft

What was your preparation strategy?

I practiced 2 to 3 hours per day, for 4+ weeks. I used IGotAnOffer study guides, practiced interview questions (wrote out responses), and did mock interviews with multiple people.

What was the hardest part of the whole interview process?

I had never studied for an interview before, so knowing where to start was the hard thing - IGotAnOffer made a major difference there.

Did any of the interview questions stand out?

The estimation question was something like "how many screens should we order for a new iphone" - I missed a couple key market insights that drastically changed my answer, and didn't know enough about manufacturing processes to think about yield rates and other details.

Do you have any final tips for other candidates?

Study hard & find as many people to do mock interviews with as possible!

What coaches would you recommend working with?
