A timestamped guide to a long interview aimed at landing $250K+ "product builder" roles.
It covers: whether the role is real or hype, what the job involves, why delivery ability became the gate, pay levels, the three interview rounds, the POWER framework, empathy work from 200 user transcripts, six levels of building, a Claude Code vs Codex comparison, building an app overnight, auditing an AWS bill, and why "the last 20% is the job."
