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.

MUST-HAVE for PMs looking for a job A must-have for any Product Managers seeking a job in this market. The program is very structured and offers a lot of qualified coaches. They guide you through everything - starting with a "Clarity" session that helps create a concrete job-search strategy, a thorough Resume/LinkedIn review with a coach, lots of content on all sorts of interview prep - from behavioral to every type of product sense interview, weekly opportunities to meet one-on-one with several coaches for mock interviews as well as a vibrant community of peers and group coaching sessions weekly. The program literally has it all. There is also a "mindset" component - which helps job-seekers stay positive and approach opportunities with confidence. The staff helps administer the Slack community, with job-alerts, referrals and much more. A successful job search requires a lot of hard-work, but this program makes sure you are totally prepared, you have mastery over product sense interviews, you have perfected your stories and your narrative. The structure was what I didn't have before, and that made all the difference. Also, the program is suitable for all career stages - from early to late stage. My experience was simply fantastic, and I landed a great job at a great company with 33% increase in my overall comp - and a lot of the kudos should go to Intentional Product Manager. Thank you IPM!

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..

For Product Managers Looking to Level Up I am currently in one of the Intentional Product Manager courses and with the material and personalized coaching they provide it is helping me address the things holding me back from the next level in my career. I have had 3 offers since joining the class!

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!
