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.

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.

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 The next morning he informed me his offer was rescinded.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

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.

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. If you are considering joining the Intentional Product Manager program, here is my advice: trust the process, fully commit, and stay open to the journey ahead. You will improve your product management skills with strategic insights, practical tools, and personalized coaching. This will help you achieve significant career milestones.
