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.

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.

I loved the Intentional Job Search Program I joined the program when I started my job search. The coaches helped me understand the interview expectations for the Product Management role, especially at FAANG companies. It also provided a great platform to practice my interview responses. The feedback shared during practice sessions contributed to my interview success. In the end, I applied to one dream job and got it - a Senior Product Manager role at Amazon! I would definitely recommend the IJS program for anyone who has been in the Product Management space and looking for their next role or for anyone who wants to transition to a Product Management role.

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!
