A Game-Changer in My Career Transition - Thank You IJS! As a former Meta employee laid off in May, I faced the daunting task of re-entering the job market. I chose Intentional Job Search (IJS), and it greatly affected my career path. At first, I had trouble getting through recruiter screens, even though I had experience and the Meta brand on my resume. This was surprising and discouraging. It made me question my self-representation and ability to articulate my value to potential employers. IJS, however, turned these challenges into opportunities for growth. My journey with IJS began with a strategy session with Shobhit, which was an eye-opener. He helped me realize my worth in the job market and guided me to aim for roles that matched my experience. This not only boosted my confidence but also reshaped my job search approach. Furthermore, the resume sessions were invaluable. I thought my resume was in great shape, but IJS's insights into highlighting the impact and significance of my work took it to another level. I use this approach to clearly explain my experience and skills. It helped me overcome the initial recruitment barriers. The biggest takeaway for me was realizing the importance of not facing this journey alone. The psychological support, the sense of community, and the encouragement I received from IJS were pivotal. I was able to share my experiences, ask for advice, and get constructive feedback from peers and mentors in the program. This really helped me with my job search. Finally, landing a role at TikTok was a testament to the effectiveness of IJS's program. The journey was about refining skills and strategies. It was also about building resilience. It was about understanding the value of community. It was about learning how to navigate the job market with confidence. To anyone facing career transition challenges, I highly recommend Intentional Job Search. Their personalized approach and supportive community can help you identify and land the right job. Thank you, IJS, for being more than just a coaching service - for being a guiding light in what was one of the most challenging phases of my professional life.

Aggressive and 'salesy' approach Unfortunately my experience with Shobhit was not a good one. It started off well with Shobhit answering my questions honestly and transparently, providing details of the program and a fair price. However when it came to actually making a decision, he emailed me agressively with a very 'salesy' tone that I must make the decision 'today'. 'Today' for me was a Sunday I was spending with my family for the Super Bowl. The next morning he informed me his offer was rescinded. When I exchanged emails with him he told me I did not display enough urgency for him (keep in mind, I'm spending the day with my family on a Sunday and still discussing the financials with my wife). Overall I believe in his business was what Intentional Product Manager is trying to achieve. However the aggressive approach is not for me. I prefer an approach based on 'trusting' a product. Shobhit's approach felt like a poor display of empathy, a lack of understanding of his cusotmer, and ironically enough, bad product management..

Personalized feedback prepared me for the most challenging interviews I signed up for the program reading the reviews on this very page, and I can advocate for every good word mentioned here. The program is definitely worth MORE than every $ I spent. The mock interview feedback helped me fine tune my preparation and spend my energy in the right direction (for me). There is so much information on the internet for Product Management interviews that it is easy to get lost in the noise.The IJS program helped me challenge my potential and then also helped me reach it. I feel like I could have easily spent another 5-8 years to get to the point where I have now landed, after only 4 months into my job search with IJS. All this while I met some really cool people and learnt how to have a great mindset in everything I do.

Highly recommend IJS I highly recommend the Intentional Job Search as a structured and supportive program for anyone looking for their next product role. I started the program with a year of Product Manager experience. However, I felt like I had done more program manager work than product management. The program helped me build up confidence while I practiced with both my peers as well as seasoned product managers in both Sam and Shobhit. The initial six weeks of the program gave me a great foundation based on updating my resume, working on a job search strategy and practicing stories for interviews. Overall the combination of the community and gave me the confidence necessary to find my product role. I am now a product manager at Teachable and am excited to be here, and happy to have partnered with Sam and Shobhit in my journey!
