"The interviewer was curious to understand my transition from a core development profile to an NGO and then to an MBA program. He was trying to understand my thoughts behind the journey and what convinced me about going for a PM role.
What helped me answer this was -
Having spent some time by myself mapping out the good and not-so-great experiences at each part of my journey
What exactly motivated me to take the next step each time
How it all connected

"The VR/AR industry is poised to explode and a wearable tech has steadily entered the mainstream. As a CEO of a healthtech startup, I would build a product that serves both industries - the 'middleware' between the plethora of smart watches / fitness trackers and the increasing number of VR/AR workout applications. This product would make it easy for apps to record key health metrics for their users without integrating with the countless wearable tech brands on the market."

"Depends on what the ML model. If it's computationally heavy server side is best. If it's not, client side could be feasible, think of Apple Photos doing object recognition of photos on device, in this instance, the photos are on the device a long time and users are fine with waiting. So the use case important to consider. However broadly speaking, server side is most likely the best solution especially for this many users.
