This was the absolute best video to practice along with - I genuinely paused at each moment to write down my own responses and then compared them a bit with Mark's. Truly appreciate this.
@IGotAnOfferPM - Just wondering why Mark didn't prioritize one pain point and go on to design solution for it at various fidelity and complexity. I usually prioritize one pain pint and go deeper into it with solutioning.
We agree! Have you already watched these Mark videos?

I love these videos! they help me a lot to prepare for interviews! However - I really did not understand why you are saying the impact of the app on the segment of ppl wanting to lose weight will be M or how do you explain the L impact on people wanting to be healthy. in general - how do you decide what the impact would be
Can the segmentation here focus on usage / freq of exercise. Because as you said the segments that you did overlap. Like someone is generally focused on living healthy lifestyle as your 2nd segment but that overlap with 1st two I.e that’s why they want to do weight loss or that’s why they participate in events.
i think having integrations with different tracking devices/apps wont be of low impact as its not necessary that you need to have devices like fitbit you can simply install google fit on the phone and get started so for MVP this could have been done quickly later if people find that useful they may upgrade themselves to buy fitbit etc. So for MVP we could have started with basic integration for tracking using apps like google fit , followed by fitness challenges and low priority would be the event - Kiran Premchandani
None of the mock interviews Ive watched (including this one) ever touch on the business rationale (i.e. this is how Meta will make money). Is the reason for this that every product is assumed to be feasible via ad revenue? I would have segmented target users by willingness to pay (if we go the subscription route) for the MVP.
While this is a good interview, I do not like the fact it's very far from being MECE. In the user segmentation or pain points, it seems he throws ideas in the air out of the blue. I'd rather on the segmentation break it down by workout frequency (0, 1-3, 4-7) instead of motivation; and on the pain points, talk about the customer journey and at each step take a look at pain points. The rationale for picking the pain points was very subjective (fair, there is no truly objective solution), and difficult to back it up when it comes to convincing partners (engineering, marketing, senior leadership overall). Also, maybe having a doc open would have help the audience follow a bit better. This was a good way to see overall how to think about product and how to talk product internally within a company, but when it comes to an actual interview one can be sharper, more structure and cover more grounds. Thank you!
for the painpoint (working out with friends), i think we could also add it build a sense of community, which nicely ties back to Meta's mission to give people the power to build community
This interviewee speaks fast and says many words. But once you parse what he is saying, the rationale and arguments are very shallow and unsubstantiated. Just as an example, consider the following argument he makes: "Fitness is something that's very, very, very primitive to the human experience, and I think it's something that Meta could take a good stab at and launch some interesting products." 🙄
The point is to show the framework and thinking. Think about his rationale and arguments as filler. What matters more is the technique, not the content.
Please post a video of you answering this question, so we can actually see how good you are. It’s very easy to sit behind a keyboard and criticize. Good luck with your journey.
So if everything he said would be classed as a basic-ish answer, how much more could you capitalise on that? Like is it possible to "overdo" it in the allocated time or would nobody give a fook?
You have 3 months timeline. Why not go ahead with those who provide services for fitness, than those who seek? Much crisp problem areas, lesser efforts for distribution of the product

This is a great interview. Thanks a lot.

even more impressive that he got this done in less than 30 min!
Mark is amazing! Can we have more of him on other product sense or behaviour questions?

@@IGotAnOfferPM yes:) more please:)
Closest to perfect interview that I’ve seen
Why did you choose 3 different painpoints and not only 1?
Helps you showcase prioritisation skill

Isn’t metas mission now “build the future of human connection and technology that makes it possible”
Aside, fantastic interview!

Would Meta fitness challenge be described as an app or a feature/tab?

I feel motivation should have been a pain point to prioritize, because it also impacts the goals like adoption and engagment. WDYT?
What do you guys think, what level of response is this ? L4, L5, L6, L8 and how would you make it better from whatever level this currently is ?

“Rather large segment” - phrasing!
Used a lot of jargons without reasoning why and how it would impact
So if everything he said would be classed as a basic-ish answer, how much more could you capitalise on that? Like is it possible to "overdo" it in the allocated time or would nobody give a fook?
