From zero AI PM experience to a ByteDance product internship after 500 applications
sujingshen · x · 2026-10-05
A author with a mechanics undergrad degree, weak coding skills and no internships shares how he landed a ByteDance AI product internship after 500+ applications, relying on one simple AI project. His writeup covers JD analysis, agent practice, evaluation methods, resume strategy and 9 common interview questions.
The retweeter adds an interviewer's lens: what he'd probe hardest is whether the project had real users, retention, and data-driven iterations.
