A strong answer for Describe projects and handle challenges states assumptions, handles edge cases, explains trade-offs, and shows how to validate the result clearly.
Tell me about your most impactful project: goals, your role, key results and metrics, major difficulties, and how you diagnosed root causes and resolved them. Describe a time you stepped outside your comfort zone: why, what you did, and what you learned. Tell me about a time you received critical feedback: what happened, how you responded, and the outcome.
