Tie your product opinion back to the role's own example projects
Tell someone how to act on this idea: "Which signals you read the role, used the product and would fit the work on day one."
Step 1 of 2
Your product opinion is the most impactful prep item, because it's the one thing crammers can't fake. An opinion like "Cursor's agent is strong but reviewing its multi-file output is still the weak link and that's where I'd invest" shows you've used the product, you understand its open problems and you think like the team. That single sentence does more than a week of LeetCode.
Tie your product opinion back to the role's own example projects. If you think AI-PR-review UX is the weak link, you've just connected your opinion to a project the JD literally names - which signals you read the role, used the product and would fit the work on day one. Land that link explicitly rather than leaving the interviewer to infer it.
“I ship 0-to-1 product fast and I care about UX for verifying machine output - I built a review tool my team used daily. Cursor is the one place that problem is the whole job and I think reviewing the agent's multi-file edits is exactly where the product needs invention next.”
