A client recently left this testimonial: “I worked with Nancy to land a dream gig at FAANG as an L6 PM. This was a long and arduous interview process, and Nancy supported me through every step.”
This single sentence means so much more to me than any launch or metrics I’ve landed as a PM making nearly $900K in TC.
I understand the “long and arduous process” so well, because I, too, went through those drawn-out interview cycles multiple times before finally breaking through.
The High-Stakes Interview Challenge
When this client first reached out, they were challenged with a high-stake panel presentation interview at their dream FAANG company, after not passing it the year before.
They didn’t want to fail and have to wait ANOTHER year for the chance to interview, again.
Our prep strategy had 2 focus areas: content + delivery.
Content wise, we applied the same principles used in product strategy and product sense interviews:
- Thoughtfully and strategically moving from problem space to solution space.
- Identifying the essence of the problem that’s not surface-level.
- And creatively segmenting upstream that led to a compelling narrative for solutions downstream.
Delivery wise:
- We used a minimal-text, storytelling approach and curated each slide to flow naturally into the next.
- We fine-tuned their delivery, including presentation style and Q&A strategies.
- I played the role of “tough interviewer,” pushing them on potential weak spots and refining how they’d handle curveball questions.
We also ran through their deck multiple times, focusing on cadence, pacing, and transitions to ensure they’d hit the right points at the right moments.
The Result? A FAANG Dream Job Offer 🎉
They delivered a polished presentation and impressed the panel.
They said that they even received feedback that they really liked the way they approached the case study.
And then we prepped for their other interviews for analytics and behavioral.
At the end, they landed their dream FAANG offer 🚀
The Real Cost of Delaying Your Career ⏳
Every week without your dream offer costs you thousands in compensation.
And you may have to wait a full year before you can interview again—an opportunity cost easily reaching multi-six figures.
For those who are serious about accelerating their careers, the ROI of collapsing time is a no-brainer.
They see it as an investment that they will take with them, because strategic thinking and communication is also needed on-the-job.
And they also know this won’t be the last time they interview.
2025 has been going well for my clients. They have already landed offers from Walmart, Tesla, Stripe, Intuit, Microsoft, and Tubi in Staff, Principal, GPM, and Director of Product roles with TC up to $728K.
Would you like to make your success story the next one? 🚀
The old way of prepping for L6+ and leadership interviews can stretch your prep longer than needed with endless mocks, where delaying your time-to-offer means losing $10K+ every week.
I'll be traveling in June, so if you want to work together, we should start soon.
Or, don't worry, you'll be in good hands with my trusted partner while I am not available for acing Case interviews.
Either way, If you want the right actions from the start and a faster time-to-offer, you can request your invite for L6+ PMs here, and here for all other roles and I'll be in touch.
