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 The next morning he informed me his offer was rescinded.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..

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.

Helpful Program Thanks to Intentional Product Manager, I managed to secure a job during the toughest job market. My job search began in August 2022, and after facing rejections from multiple companies, I felt discouraged. However, in January 2023, I decided to join IJS, and it made all the difference. The program not only pinpointed the gaps in my interview preparation but also bolstered my confidence. The unique aspect of their approach is their focus on mindset transformation, going beyond mere interview practice. IJS truly played a vital role in helping me succeed in my job hunt!

If you are willing to put in the hard work, this will work I joined Intentional Job Search when I decided that product management was for me. I landed two roles as Director of Product after having worked in consulting for most of my career. The program was critical in helping me get there, especially with the mindset training to enable me to put in the hard work, the emphasis on effective narration, and the mock interviews with the coaches from some of the top product led companies. I continue to work with them through the product leader blueprint program. I highly recommend this program but also want to tell you that it takes real dedication and work to get the results you want.

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.
