HI Alex, I updated the image on header to match the name of the guide and left a comment or two in the interview prep section. I haven't done PM interviews before but hear they are much different than a typical behavioral interview so I think it would be helpful to add other prep/examples specific to product

[alexilee]

@ktjnyc Appreciate the changes and comments. I will take a look!

Hi Alex, This is a good document. I made some comments. Please see if they could be incorporated.

[alexilee]

Thanks all for the helpful comments. Ready for leadership review.

Posted a reminder for leadership in Slack #admin channel. Still waiting on leadership review.

I've done a first past review, picked up on a lot of formatting errors. Made a few suggestions.

@alexilee I added some comments to the template file. The one where we are setting standards for guides. I assume you have not had the person or people who are managing that process do the review since you have not incorporated the items I have addressed in that issue. It applies to this guide and several others. So its more efficient for me to post on that guide. If you need me to I can post the link from that other issue here.
