$512K Offer! Here's The Strategy Behind It


πŸ₯‚ Today we are celebrating a client who landed a $512K offer in total comp ($287K base, $900K equity over 4 years)!

When we first met, they
β€’ were primarily practicing with friends
β€’ couldn't find interview resources meant for PMs with more than 10 YOE
​
They also had the tendency to be verbose in their communication,
β€’ which made it hard for them to articulate deep and strategic thoughts.
​
We worked on elevating their answers to actually represent their seniority.
​
The BLUF (bottom line up front) technique worked well for them, it
β€’ captures the interviewer's attention quickly
β€’ and demonstrates deep, strategic thinking from the start.
​
We worked on zooming out, even in Analytical rounds, ​
β€’ which added more signals that they are a deep strategic thinker.
​
Across all interview types (behavioral, presentations, cases),
β€’ we worked on articulating their thoughts clearly and succinctly.
​
This means not over-indexing on providing tactical and detail-oriented responses, but focusing on deeper analysis that demonstrates strategic thinking. πŸ‘ ​
​
As a result:
β€’ Their ideas flowed naturally and clearly
β€’ Their authentic strategic presence shined through
β€’ They had the confidence in showcasing senior-level expertise
​
The interview preparation journey largely has 2 components:
​‒ 20% on acquiring knowledge about best practices, frameworks, and examples
β€’ 80% on applying that knowledge
​
​
The 80% is the part that can take a lot of candidates 6-9+ months on their own.
​
​And one of the fastest ways to accelerate your time to a L6+ offer is to increase the quality of the 80%, so that it doesn't take as long.​
​
The quality of your preparation matters more than just the hours you put in.
​
​Your path can be shorter when you have clarity on your gaps and know precisely what to focus on.​
​
​A shorter path, and shorter time to offer means decreasing your opportunity cost.​
​
I've helped many clients gain this clarity and accelerate their journey to L6+ offers.
