Welcome to your interview.

The question is on your right: Prioritize User Problems with Data. 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're working on a product with several known user frustrations, and different teams are advocating for different fixes. You have usage data, behavioral signals, and some qualitative feedback, but not every problem is equally important to solve first.

Question

How do you use data to decide which user problem is worth solving first?

What this tests

  • Ability to identify real user pain points from noisy signals
  • Judgment in prioritizing problems rather than features
  • Use of jobs-to-be-done to frame the underlying need
  • Use of product diagnosis to connect pain to business impact
