Because deep down, you know the truth: the interview isn't about frameworks. It's a test of judgment. The best product manager interview preparation doesn't come from a book; it comes from practice. Not just any practice, but the right kind of practice. The Power of Scenario-Based Training Hiring managers want to see how you think, not what you've memorized. They create ambiguous situations to see if you can structure the problem, identify trade-offs, and make a reasoned decision.
