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.

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 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.

Coming into Product Leader Blueprint Coming into Product Leader Blueprint, I had been in product management for roughly a year. I was essentially self-taught, and wanted to hone my skills to reach that next level. I had not come across too many programs specific to product management so I was excited to find Intentional Product Manager. I felt that the guided curriculum combined with the peer mentorship and coaching elements of the program made this the ideal opportunity for me. I was not disappointed. There are many different books and resources for product management, but Shobhit helps you cut through the noise and focus on what really matters. If you are on the fence about this program, I would encourage you to take the leap!
