Preethi R. - "A peer-to-peer car rental is a 2-sided marketplace, with two types of users : 1) those who want to rent a car (demand), 2) those looking to rent out their car (supply). So, there are two main challenges for us to solve for through our MVP: 1) the classic (critical mass) marketplace problem of ensuring enough demand and supply. Either side will not find the product useful unless, there is enough of the other group of users, 2) In the case of peer-to-peer car rental, we are also trying to change u"See full answer

Exponent - "This is a Measure Success question with a slight twist. The twist here is we need to consider a hypothetical changes rather that one already built. This changes our formula slightly - specifically we may not be able to apply a UX flow to drive analysis since we're unsure of the implementation. Instead, we'll look at core behaviors that are indicative of success. Here's the modified formula: Ask clarifying questions State the goal of the feature **Apply a UX flow to drive a"See full answer

Exponent - "This is another Fermi problem — an estimation or approximation problem with limited information and back-of-the-envelope calculations. There's no right answer: interviewers want to understand how you think and how well you can explain your reasoning, rather than what you already know. Recall the formula for Fermi problems: Ask clarifying questions Catalog what you know Make equation(s) Think about edge cases to add to equation **Breakdown components of your"See full answer
