I rambled for a bit before landing on anything concrete.
Start by framing the answer around a specific, relatable pain point from your own experience, then systematically diagnose the root cause and propose a prioritized solution. Show product thinking by connecting the pain point to user needs, business impact, and measurable outcomes.
Pro tip: Quantify the pain point's impact (e.g., 'This friction likely causes X% of users to abandon booking') to demonstrate business acumen, and always tie your solution back to a North Star metric like conversion or retention.
Choose one clear, personal pain point (e.g., cumbersome flight rebooking, unclear baggage info) and describe the user journey where it occurs.
Analyze why the pain point exists—whether it's technical, design, or process-related—and consider its impact on user behavior and business metrics.
Outline a high-level solution that addresses the root cause, focusing on user value and feasibility. Mention potential trade-offs.
Explain how you would prioritize this fix against other opportunities (e.g., using RICE or impact/effort matrix) and how you'd validate it (e.g., A/B test, user research).
Specify metrics to measure success (e.g., task completion rate, NPS, conversion) and how you'd iterate based on results.
