⚠️ Common Mistakes to Avoid

  • Focusing too much on B2C e-commerce without addressing how B2B differs (e.g., bulk ordering, multiple shipping addresses, net terms).
  • Being vague about data tools—mention specific platforms like Amplitude and how you've used them, not just 'data-driven'.
  • Not showing leadership or mentorship examples; this role explicitly requires mentoring junior PMs, so include specific instances.
