Great Experience I have worked in B2B SaaS and MarTech for over ten years. I always seek opportunities that challenge me and help me grow professionally. I wanted to succeed, so I joined the Intentional Product Manager and their Product Leader Blueprint program. I learned a lot from them. They gave me new ways to think and work better in product management. The Product Leader Blueprint program focused on improving my strategic thinking and communication skills, which are crucial for any product leader. This approach was very enlightening. It taught me the importance of thinking like a CEO, taking full responsibility for my role, and creating a story that connects with customers and colleagues. However, my journey didn't stop there. Faced with a career transition, I was at a crossroads, striving to secure my dream job in a highly competitive market. The Intentional Job Search program was my next stop. Through a meticulously structured approach that emphasized crafting and perfecting my narrative for interviews, I could navigate the complexities of the job market with precision and confidence. The program's focus on engaging deeply with the content and leveraging the coaches' expertise was a game-changer for me. The rigorous practice sessions and the constructive feedback truly prepared me to stand out in the final rounds of interviews, transforming potential opportunities into solid job offers. Landing my dream role at Twilio is a significant achievement for me. I'm particularly excited to work in the Segment side of the business, focusing on data and applications. This opportunity is a testament to the efficacy of the Intentional Product Manager programs. They gave me the skills and strategies to succeed in my field. They also supported me and guided me through the competitive job market.

Shobhit is a great coach Shobhit is a great coach. Loved how he starts every session out with celebrations. He works on your confidence and mindset and it was amazing! His course and coaching is gold and helped me get a 40% raise!

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!

A Journey to reignite my desire to FAANG: Navigating Career Transitions and Challenges After seven fruitful years at Microsoft, I embarked on a new adventure, stepping into a director role at Salesforce. However, life had other plans in store for me – a lengthy commute, the joys (and challenges) of parenthood with a newborn, and the unforeseen impact of the Covid-19 pandemic. Seeking a change that aligned better with my evolving priorities, I set my sights on a company I could see from my window. Yet, as the initial wave passed and my second newborn arrived, a familiar ambition stirred within me – the desire to return to the world of FAANG. Despite the ease of receiving calls from top companies, I quickly realized that the landscape of product management had transformed. The market was saturated with advertisements from schools and coaching centers, while companies introduced new interview formats, making the path to reentry seem daunting. It was during this pivotal moment that I discovered IJS – a beacon of hope in my quest to regain my interview prowess. Armed with newfound knowledge and insights, I honed my skills, determined to showcase my abilities at the highest level. The journey was not without its challenges. In a harsh market climate, where FAANG companies were tightening their belts, securing offers that matched my leveling and expertise proved elusive. However, through perseverance and the support of IJS, I navigated through final interview loops, inching closer to my goal. Ultimately, I made a strategic decision to join a company that offered me the opportunity to reignite my professional drive while prioritizing time with my family. This role serves as a stepping stone, propelling me forward in my ongoing pursuit of a coveted position within the FAANG realm. As I reflect on my journey, I am grateful for IJS coaches, the lessons learned, the challenges overcome, and the unwavering support from IJS community that propelled me forward. Though the path may have been winding, each step has brought me closer to realizing my aspirations in the ever-evolving landscape of tech.

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.
