Welcome to your interview.

The question is on your right: Learn a New Technical Domain Fast. Take a moment with it first.

Talk your thinking through with me if you like - when you're confident, submit your answer and I'll grade it like a real screen (7/10 or better passes). Discussion and graded submissions share your five interviewer interactions, so spend them well.

Problem

Scenario

You’ve been asked to lead a product effort in a technical area you have not worked in before. You need to get effective quickly enough to make decisions, earn credibility with engineering and operations, and keep the project moving without pretending to know more than you do.

Question

Tell me about a time you had to learn a new technical domain quickly.
