@stervyc Hey Stephen, for someone new to interviewing this gives a great idea on how to get creative at interviews to talk about interesting different choices, edge cases! These examples are wonderful!

@stervyc This is ingenious! Wish I had a resource like this when I was prepping for PM interviews. Looking forward to more content in the Simulator!

Main feedback: 1. Video is very amateur and script mistakes 2. What can I learn from the steps I took? It took me X steps to get to the answer. What is the average # of steps that people took in order to find the solution? 3. More explanation of why I should have started with X instead of Y. Using this data to improve my PM knowhow. 4. Just saying that after slicing the data no correlation was found doesn't really help. What else could be added here? There is more stuff I could write. Let me know if you need some user for research.

Great idea, only con that I can find is that the videos seem to be in 1080p. I'm from Bangladesh, Even though I have a somewhat good internet connection, video that is 1080p (60fps) can take a while to load, automatic video resolution (like Netflix) would be nice.

@amarsaurabh Thanks Amar! Did you beat it :)?
Alex Papageorge
Cool! Is there a feedback loop for the interviewer?
Stephen
Maker
@alex_papageorge Hey Alex - what do you mean exactly?
Lucas Arndt
I love the idea. Games make things easier to learn! Great for abstract things like interviews. Just like how great investment games are at teaching you how investing works. Why 'tell' when you can 'show'? Great work.

Ok, I was going to be a bit more critical there, but this 'crash loop' joke really cracked me up, great job :)
