GBHighly 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!

GBPersonalized feedback prepared me for the most challenging interviews I signed up for the program reading the reviews on this very page, and I can advocate for every good word mentioned here. The program is definitely worth MORE than every $ I spent. The mock interview feedback helped me fine tune my preparation and spend my energy in the right direction (for me). There is so much information on the internet for Product Management interviews that it is easy to get lost in the noise.The IJS program helped me challenge my potential and then also helped me reach it. I feel like I could have easily spent another 5-8 years to get to the point where I have now landed, after only 4 months into my job search with IJS. All this while I met some really cool people and learnt how to have a great mindset in everything I do.

GBHave 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.

NLWorth 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.

GBHelpful 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!
