You need to prepare for technical interviews as a PM.

Even though 95% of the PM job doesn't require technical skills.

These are the 6 main categories of questions you can expect to get:

1. Engineering collaboration: tell me about a time you worked with an engineer on a roadmap.

2. Technical stories: explain to me the architecture of a past technical product you built.

3. Computer science: what happens when you type google dot com in your web browser?

4. Technicalities of the product: how would you explain Twitter to an elderly person?

5. System design: what's the general architecture of a simple version of Twitter?

6. Case questions: our app is experiencing a forever spinning circle, what do you do?

The best way to do this is to prepare on technical topics when you're not looking - because this is a lot to learn otherwise.

Grab your eng partners, sign up for that CS class over break, and improve your tech skills.

And land that next job.
