TIME: 30MLEVEL: advanced30 CHAPTERS

1. Tipe Interview Round

1) Behavioral: cerita pengalaman. 2) Product Sense: design product imaginary. 3) Estimation: market sizing, dst. 4) Strategy: bisnis case. 5) Execution: prioritize, metric, tradeoff. 6) Technical: depend on company. Each round skill berbeda.

2. Behavioral STAR Method

Situation, Task, Action, Result. Frame story dengan struktur ini. Specific dengan number kalau bisa. Show impact, ownership, learning. Hindari "we" terlalu banyak (apa peran kamu specifically?).

3. Product Design Question

"Design Instagram Stories untuk lansia." Framework: clarify (audience, goal). Identify users (multiple persona). Pain points. Brainstorm features. Prioritize. Metric. Trade-off. 30-45 menit. Practice dengan friends.

4. Estimation Question

"Berapa user Spotify di Indonesia?" Top-down (population dikurangi target segment) atau bottom-up (1 building, 1 city). Show structured thinking, bukan exact number. Sanity check assumption.
