Practice

Read

All are available on Amazon, epubs/PDFs are floating around the web too (search here)

  • Cracking the PM Interview
  • Algorithm Design Manual; ~700p, dense DSA refresher that would take a while to cover thoroughly cover-to-cover, lots of other guides on how to brush up for the technical interview, i.e. which topics to focus on
  • Business Model Generation; ~250p, illustrated and best skimmed, a few key concepts
  • The Design of Everyday Things; ~300p, best skimmed, a few key concepts
  • Escape Velocity

Familiarize

  • The job
  • Other Google products and industry news

Additional Resources
