Cracking the PM Interview demystifies the product manager role and the hiring process at major tech companies. It covers what PMs actually do, how to position a resume, and how to answer estimation, product design, behavioral, and technical questions. The book combines career guidance with a large bank of practice questions and frameworks.

Founders who understand how top companies hire PMs make better hires and better product cases themselves. The frameworks for product design and estimation questions are useful for any founder reasoning about features and metrics.
