Hi Anonymous,

I agree with Benjamin, Sidi and Vlad. When you have multiple products it is actually typical to have product mix differences and that the interviewer wants to specifically assess your ability to verify the correct data before moving forward. Thus, you should definitely verify your hypothesis with the interviewer before moving forward.

Never make this assumption without verifying with interviewer! Making this assumption without checking would just demonstrate lacking depth of thinking, since you exclude the possibility of structural issues hiding behind the global average (which is actually quite common in case interviews!).

Cheers, Sidi

Hi,

You can only make this assumption if the interviewer confirms it is true.

I can easily imagine a situation when you have 40% market share in one product's market and 30% share in another. (Put any number)
