use crypto product as a example to show you what the best answer you can say in an interview within 2 minutes in terms of design questions such as design Tik Tok for elderly audience this type of

question is very critical for everybody to use the modified circles framework why do I emphasize on modified because most of candidate they make the Fatal mistakes whenever they go into any job

interviews they only talk about very small customer segmentation without thinking big scope of thinking and they frequently made this mistake to ask interviewer to pick the customer

segmentation for you by asking who exactly you want to design it for how old is elderly audience can you define this for me and all those questions are wrong clarifying questions to ask at the

number 17 how many creators are there in Tik Tok us when you work on the estimation questions it's very important you understand there two ways to solve this estimation questions one is top

down and the other one is bottoms up top down means you estimate the total number of people a percentage can be a creators and percentage of them could be on Tik Tok and percentage of them is going to

be active on Tik Tok so you from big always become smaller thus top down bottoms ups approach means you have an equation where you calculate each

individual element of things goes into Tik Tok creators and you add them up into a total equation that's like solving a mass problem I already gave you more examples regarding different

kind of estimation questions and how would you solve them in this video right here make sure to check it out in depth right here the six type of intergal question is part a strategy question for example question number eight team

just say AI you really need to connect AI with Tik Tok or you can say VR you need to connect VR into Tik tok's Mission and audience I invent a unique framework called Gucci framework where

it has been currently used by even existing product managers in Tik Tok and to answer any product strategy interview questions and use it in real life strategy thinking as well so guci

framework stands for goals and Mission unmet customer needs customer segmentation competition and integrated ecosystem with this specific framework you will know what type of new

technology is very trendy and how it's going to impact Tik Tok and think about the entire Marketplace and landscape and competitive environment I broke down the Gucci framework in real life case

studies in this video right here make sure to check it out um Al going to link in the description of this video as well the last type of interview question at Tik Tok is culture fit question this is

quite you think for Tik Tok for example question number 19 how would you handle stress question number 20 tell me your experience you have multitask this is

more than just behavioral interview questions you really need to understand why Tik Tok asks you those interview questions because the real life environment working for Tik Tok is very stressful and frequently product

managers in Tik Tok are going to work on multiple important product at the same time so they are multitasking at the same time so during the interview if able to show them examples of you working high stress environment and

still being able to deliver amazing result you're able to R amazing offers and also getting paid significantly higher than average industry salary and even higher than Fan Company salary as

well now here comes a very important bonus tip Tik Tok is a Chinese owned company when you work for Tik Tok they frequently use Chinese plus English during the daily operations

but doesn't mean that pure American speaking uh people cannot work for Tik Tok in my last podcast where I interviewed the head of product Tik Tok

and Kim he's American he's also Korean he speaks zero Chinese at all but he was had a product at Tik Tok so Chinese language is not required however if for

any reason during the interview the hiring manager or recruiter speak Chinese with you during the interview you must be able to answer in Chinese as well lots of people answer Chinese

questions in English that make them losing those job offers so it's very critical you know what the company culture look like if you're preparing for any P manag interviews out there I

strongly recommend you to use the latest interview questions database and to prepare for your upcoming interviews and you should go to this website and download all the top 50 prod manage interview questions database and those
