Have a playbook for the chaos. Most product managers would agree that this career can be an overwhelming one. I felt that the job was managing me rather than the other way around. I felt like a firefighter and had several conversations with myself, asking if I was even fighting the correct fires. My time with Intentional Product Manager addressed this issue and so much more. It drove home the idea that intentionality is what has the most impact. During this program, I made significant changes that greatly affected my schedule and gave me more time to focus on vital tasks. What I implemented has stayed with me. It has allowed me to go from constantly being on edge, waiting for the subsequent fire to appear, to living in a perpetual state of calm. Thanks to Product Leader Blueprint, I no longer have to feel frantic every day. I know that even when a fire does come, I now have the tools to handle it calmly and effectively which is super helpful because I am now a co-founder in a startup.

One more happy alumna Thanks to IPM, my self framing has changed dramatically. If I was unsure how to position myself on the job market before, now I'm in a job that I love and I feel like I have the key for future success. I'm very grateful to have overcome my concerns about the value of this program and I highly recommend it to any Product Manager or aspiring Product Manager!

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.

Worth every penny spent! The IJS program by IPM has helped me tremendously! The curriculum and coaching are incredible! The mock interviews and story refining helped me get the needed feedback and prepare for the gruelling Amazon interviews. I was also surprised to get a supportive community where I was constantly encouraged and told I was not alone! I landed my job via a referral from another person in the community. My advice to anyone who is in the same place I was: Don't waste your time with certifications. This program is worth the investment. The return is invaluable. If you do join this program, take advantage of the community. Do not be afraid to break the ice; give and get honest feedback. This program will make you stronger all around. I am so thankful that I decided to join this program and community.

A major career shift thanks to IJS I was an experienced product manager before joining IJS. I had looked independently but couldn’t land the right offers and noticed I could benefit from coaching. Joining IJS was a game-changer for me. The program stood out with its structured approach, offering more than just resume advice. It provided a comprehensive toolkit for job searching, including effective story crafting and interview preparation techniques. A crucial part of my journey was the emphasis on mindset, which IJS heavily focused on. The emotional and mental support provided by the program was as valuable as career guidance. I ended up landing a desirable role with a 41% increase in compensation. Reflecting on my experience with IJS, it was more than a job search program; it was a transformative journey that reshaped not only how I approached job hunting but also how I viewed my professional narrative and potential. The program "miyagi-ed" me. I thought I needed to work on my resume while I really needed to work on my stories. My advice to anyone considering this program is to be prepared for hard work, be receptive to feedback, and focus on finding a role that aligns with your personal and professional values. The IJS program is a powerful tool if you're ready to invest in yourself and your career.
