Anika (ex-Google PM) aces this product manager estimation question: "Estimate the time spent at stop lights each year".
During the interview, Akshat (also ex-Google PM) gives feedback on Anika's answer to give you insight into what interviewers are really looking for.
A great video to see how to answer 'guesstimate' questions.

Best video on guestimates

@Alex-kf4pl Год назад

Great content!! Please keep ‘em coming. But it would be awesome using a whiteboard or sharing your screen while brainstorming this type of questions to follow through. Just a suggestion though.

Hi Alex, glad you like it :) We will indeed keep em coming - make sure to subscribe and check out our other similar videos! ru-vid.com/show-UCFJy5E_3XknWv42cvedoALw In regards to your suggestion, we do show some screen sharing in the video so you can see Anika's calculations, I guess you'd like to see more of that at the early, brainstorming stage? In this video it proved a bit tricky to edit, but we'll keep that in mind for future videos. Thanks and good luck!

There can be another segment of users here- emergency drivers(ambulance, fire trucks etc.). And if a normal commuter stops at 15% of total time in stop lights, these users will stop less in case of emergencies

@IGotAnOfferPM Год назад

Hi Debajyoti, yes you're right - in fact there are probably a few other types of users that, in an ideal world, you could segment to. However, in an interview situation, you have to limit yourself to fairly broad segments - and I suspect that the volume of emergency drivers probably isn't high enough to warrant including in Anika's answer here.
