How would you approach homelessness in San Francisco if you had two weeks to deliver three recommendations to the mayor? Priya, a former forward deployed engineer at an ML startup, tackles this ambiguous scenario in an FDE problem-solving mock interview, clarifying goals, scoping constraints, and proposing interventions to reduce entry and reentry into homelessness. Watch how she handles pushback on housing, treatment, and job training, then stay for a debrief on measuring success, adapting to feedback, and communicating your thought process when there’s no single right answer.
