What's the best way to prepare for a product marketing interview at a big tech company? What resources would you recommend to a prospective so they can best showcase their experience and aptitude for role.

There are three key types of interviews you should consider preparing for when applying to a small or big tech company:
· Product marketing core competency interviews
· Behavioral interviews
· Case interview / portfolio review assignments
The skills companies look for are consistent, but each company assesses candidates slightly differently. For example, a company like Uber may lean on case study interviews (e.g., "How would you enter a new industry vertical…?") while a company like Amazon does more behavioral questions aligned with their cultural principles.
Regarding resources I recommend, I wrote a few articles about how to prepare for PMM interviews. See below:
