1. Life Story (3–4 minutes)
   • Narrate your path from undergraduate to today.
   • Call out two inflection points and why you made each transition.
2. Brochure Insights → 90-Day Contributions
   • From our latest brochure, provide three concrete insights and one respectful critique.
   • For each, tie how you would contribute in your first 90 days.
3. Consequential Mistake (within last 3 years)
   • What you misjudged and the earliest leading indicator you missed.
   • The measurable impact (numbers) and the systemic change you implemented to prevent recurrence.
4. Proudest Work Achievement
   • The north-star metric, trade-offs accepted, risks retired, and before/after metrics.
5. Most Recent Large Project (end-to-end)
   • Scope, timeline (start/end dates), cross-team roles you coordinated (e.g., PM, Eng, Legal, Sales).
   • A conflict you resolved and how, key risks and mitigations.
   • Exactly how requirements changed midstream and what you cut or added.
6. Delivered Without Manager Support
   • How you secured alignment and sponsorship.
   • How you handled a blocker you could not resolve yourself, protected scope under pressure, and which artifacts (e.g., PRD, RFC, decision log) you produced.
7. Compensation Role-Play (if HR declines to share a range)
   • Outline your strategy and provide the exact phrasing you would use to keep the conversation productive while protecting your target.
