Facebook/Meta Product Execution Interviews: Tradeoff Questions

Tradeoff questions are frequently asked in product manager and product design interviews. Here's the difference between the 3 types of tradeoff questions and how you solve them.

I have to say Dianna, your videos are worth more than a 100 hours of Exponent or any other preparation tool combined. Well done ! Keep it up!

This is one of the best trade-off question videos that I have ever found! Thank you, Dianna :)

This seems to contradict the earlier video on the framework to answer tradeoff questions. In the earlier video you went into the metrics of the actual products/features as part of the tradeoff. Then you identify the common metrics - number of social interactions and posts created. I believe going through the product and listing the metrics is a step to identify the common unifying metrics

What are different product categories we have to keep in mind or what are the most tackled product categories that we have to learn?

Hey Dianna, your videos have helped me a lot. I would like to understand a typical behavior I have realised. When I conduct A/B test or conduct Beta, the feature looks really succesful but when we go GA it again falls back to same level. I have my doubts on the sample we choose to rollout and tried my best to diversify it to be well represented but have been seeing it for almost all features I have released in past. Any thoughts on how to tackle this?

Thank you for your videos! I have watched all of them, you break down complexity expertly. One question recently came up that I am unable to fit into your trade-off framework: You are the PM for Facebook live — what features would you prioritise? I am now super concerned that this is the one that will come up and I dont have your valuable structure to break it down!

Are you able to share the framework that you would use to answer this? Thanks for your help in advance Dianna :D
