Happy New Year! 🥳

I'm happy to announce a brand new, second edition of my Google PM course. It's targeted for Google PM candidates of all levels.

How to Ace the Google Product Manager Interview, Second Edition

Over the last 10 years, my company has worked with 100s of candidates to secure Google PM offers. Here's what they say:

Just wanted to let you know that I got the Product Manager job at Google! Thank you to you and your team for the great prep courses; they really helped. – E.R.

I was offered and accepted the Product Manager position with Google. I started a few weeks ago, and I am working out of Mountain View. Thanks again for your assistance! – R.O.

I went onto the second phone interview, the face to face, and have just been extended an offer from Google for Product Management. Thank you! – B.A.

Wanted to reach out and let you know that I received a Google APM offer today. Thanks so much! – I.Y.

Hey Lewis! Just wanted to share some good news – I landed a PM internship at Google this summer. Thank you. It was really useful! Let me know if I can ever repay the favor. – L.R.

I just wanted to send you a quick note that I got an offer from Google! Thank you! – B.H.

I just wanted to let you know that I received an offer from Google today! Thank you soooo much for your help! – F.B.

In this course, I reveal secrets to the Google PM interview including:

  • An insider's perspective on what Google is looking for in an ideal PM candidate

  • A thorough discussion of the six interview components, starting from product design and ending with technical

  • A candid conversation on whether you should expect brain teasers

  • Six detailed interview prep modules including product design, technical, analytical, strategy, behavioral, and warm-up questions

Brand New Technical Section

This edition has a brand new technical section.

Unlike other companies, Google evaluates PM candidates on their technical ability. The course explains the three most common types of technical questions at Google:

  • Technical trivia

  • Data structures and algorithms

  • System design

Technical Trivia

This course shares in-depth yet straightforward definitions for the most common trivia questions including:

  • What is an API?

  • What is MapReduce?

  • What is machine learning?

  • What is the CAP theorem?

  • What's the difference between TCP vs. UDP?

The course also goes into detail on the most common cloud concepts including:

  • Compute (EC2)

  • Load balancing

  • Serverless computing (Lambda)

  • Containers (Kubernetes)

  • Object storage (S3)

The cloud concept review is particularly ideal for Google Cloud Platform candidates.

Data Structures and Algorithms (DS)

The course offers a memorable five-step framework for tackling algorithm questions. The best thing about the framework: it doesn't use complicated technical jargon.

The course also reviews solutions to three popular algorithm questions:

  • Reversing a string

  • Checking if a string is a palindrome

  • Finding duplicate characters in a string

System Design

System design is becoming the most favored category for Google's technical interview.

In this module, I share my brand new six-step framework, PEDALS™, to help you get through a system design question. It also includes a comprehensive example, design an air traffic controller, that illustrates how you can apply the PEDALS framework.

This course costs $82 USD. Let me help you secure a Google PM job offer, using the same tips and wisdom I've used with successful clients.

Best,

Lewis C. Lin

PS I've also launched a brand new edition of my Facebook PM interview course. 🎉
