Intentional Product Manager Avis 

With Intentional Job Search, I managed to land a significant role as a Senior Principal Product Manager at Oracle. This role not only satiates my passion for healthcare but also empowers me to oversee the entire lifecycle of an innovative product.

Before I engaged with IJS, I aimed for TPM roles and even succeeded in securing the L5 TPM position at Google. However, unforeseen circumstances prevented a team match. During this time, a dear friend suggested I venture into Product Management, introducing me to Shobhit.

Upon my association with IJS, I set three goals:
1)The transition from consulting to product management.
2)Secure a role at one of the FAANG companies.
3)Remain in Dallas with enhanced compensation.

While my journey began on a promising note with interviews from FAANG, personal setbacks led me to lose momentum more than once. Yet, with IJS, I acquired essential insights like the importance of emphasizing one's unique strengths, crafting impactful narratives, and fostering a clear and positive outlook.
I renewed my job search in April this year, and before long, the doors of Oracle opened for me. My heartfelt gratitude goes to Shobhit, Sam, and the dedicated team of mindset and interview coaches at IJS. Their invaluable feedback has enriched both my personal and professional spheres. A shoutout to my peers at IJS, with whom I shared enlightening discussions and practice sessions.

I am looking forward to staying connected with this wonderful community, and I highly recommend it to others!

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!

Embarking on the journey from a Product Owner to a Product Manager and eventually reaching Intentional Product Manager (IPM) has been an unparalleled experience in my career. This transformative program not only hones the essential skill sets of a Product Manager but also crafts a winning mindset that propels you towards greatness.
The profound wisdom I gained from this program extends far beyond professional development. It taught me to align my thought process, instilled self-belief, and ignited my determination to achieve my goals. The results have been nothing short of extraordinary.
The exceptional team of coaches, led Shobhit, Sam, and Alyssa, along with the invaluable guidance from interview coaches and the unwavering support of my peers, created an atmosphere of excellence that encouraged growth and fostered a sense of belonging within a tight-knit community.
With newfound confidence and the power of this community backing me, success was a certainty. The journey not only exceeded my expectations but also gifted me with a network of incredible individuals who share in my triumphs and challenges, making it all the more rewarding.
In conclusion, this program is a game-changer. If you're seeking a pathway to true greatness, guided by top-notch mentors and embraced by a supportive community, look no further. It's simply outstanding!

Step-1: Got marketing notification about program
Step-2: Applied for Program
Step-3: Rejected for the program
Step-4: I enquired why?
Step-5: You are accepted in the program
Step-6: Negotiate payment terms 5k adv. 9k post job
Step-6(a): Ask for call with Shobhit but only got recorded message
Step-7: Follow-up call - Asked for program plan i.e. how will training transition into job hunting
Step-8: Received Contract that was way off with focus on trainings but no mentioned on post training hiring assistance program
Step-9: Raised discrepancies same with point of contact
Step-10: Received email stating that they reviewed my candidature and didn't find suitable for this program and they can enroll me.

My gut has proven me right again. Few things that triggered for me.
1. Didn't shared program details in writing
2. Not having face time with Shobhit
3. Online review and Shobhit linkedIn profile
4. Recording call without consent that shobhit might be listening offline

I am not saying they are fraud but they are definitely running this business bit like novice.

Saw your reply below and by no means i can judge your program effectiveness and i am sure it's good because i almost made my mind with some doubts mentioned above but the sequence of event for selection after reviewing my LinkedIn profile twice, talking to me, finalizing payment structure and then suddenly send me an email stating this program is not fit seems bit shady.

Don't want this feedback to impact your business and neither it's reflective of the quality of work you might be doing but it's more for people who are engaging with such companies and spend time in evaluating them.. Couple of weeks down the drain is a boomer for people looking for job.

Best of luck on your endeavor.

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!

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!

The IPM team empathetically acted with a sense of urgency to get my interviewing skills sharpened and my resume ready to start applying to jobs in less than 2 weeks (i had an accelerated timeline due to immigration related deadlines)

Intentional Job Search (IJS) was pivotal in helping me craft my career narrative and understand the perspective of a product leader who is looking to add a Product Manager to their team. Being able to be a part of mock interviews with product leaders is what helped me improve my interviewing skills, craft the right narrative with the appropriate level of detail.

My hypothesis is that the harder you work at IJS and the resources it has to offer, the better your results will be. I was able to find a job while I was still completing my IJS training - took me 3 weeks of IJS coaching to land my first offer.

I'd highly recommend this program if you act with a sense of extreme urgency in your career, are able to spend hours of effort working on improving your resume, interested in learning how to craft the best product management narrative, and are open to receiving and implementing constructive feedback you will receive from your coaches.

I've found success through this program, and I hope you do too. A big thank you to the entire IJS community.

I had a great time at intentional product manager. The clear path, guidance and support I receive were immense.
Apart from all, it gave me a structure to my interview preparation and during the interview shobhit and sam were helping me out.
I will highly recommend IPM

Shobhit and team were great to work with. The clear path and guide to prep with honest, constructive feedback from the coaches were key for me to land my current role as an Associate Director of Product at a top fintech firm.

The rigour, intentionality and thoughfulness that this program brings is key and very additive to one's own prep.

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..

I really enjoyed my experience with Intentional Product Manager and would highly recommend to anyone who is actively looking for a job.

I was moving back to the US after many years away and hadn't interviewed in a while. Shobhit and Sam have an extremely structured approach in helping applicants get ready. They have a checklist of items that you have to finish every week and this really helps keep things on track.

The program helps with both the small details and the bigger challenges in preparing for an interview. The small details can sometimes make a remarkable difference and the fact that you can get feedback on everything from your online profiles to your camera settings is great. To tackle the challenging case study and interview questions that you may face, IPM has super experienced interviewers who give actionable feedback that helps you get better. The feedback is tracked methodically to ensure progress. All of these steps are really thought through and help drive meaningful results.

I was able to get a dream job as VP Product at a Series B fintech and very grateful to the IPM team that they helped me get there.

Before joining the program, I had ten years of program management experience at Fortune 500 companies. I wanted to transition to product management, so I joined Intentional Job Search.

The program had everything I needed; story writing for behavioral stories, product sense, product strategy coaching, and mindset coaching. I got feedback on mock interviews and it helped me close the gaps I had before the interviews. When I went into the interview, I felt prepared and was 100% confident. In the end, I got the offer to work on a product in Amazon catalog team, to define and enforce policies for contribution from sellers in the amazon product detail page.

I'd recommend this program to someone looking for product management opportunity to accelerate their job search and career, especially if you're transitioning from a different role into a product management role.

I can tell from my experience that I was struggling to transition from consulting to product manager. It was challenging owning the product rather than helping the client. It was a mindset change and not just a resume change. I was also trying to change industries which is particularly hard if you don't have the prior experience. I also wasn't telling the stories that would connect and reflect the best of my experience to the prospective employer. This program help me with three things:
1. change my mindset from taking the easy path of linkedin easy apply to being intentional where I apply and why I'm applying. It gave me the confidence to be very selective about the shots I'm taking.
It has helped me change my mindset to being empowered and being selective.
2. It is also being an immense help personally where I am more selective of activities I do and that frees up my time for vital activities rather than doing busy work.
3. It has taught me important things about trade-offs and how everything should be viewed with that lens.

I landed a successful job transition in the industry that I wanted and I am extremely happy with the program.

Thanks

I joined Intentional Job Search after I had been interviewing for a while. I was frustrated at being close to landing a role, but I felt something was missing that led me to not land my ideal jobs despite being in multiple final rounds.

I wanted to be more productive this time. I needed to help convince interviewers that I had the proper knowledge, skillsets, and experience. I used to pay attention to Shobhit's emails. I spent a lot of time researching Intentional Product Manager using Trustpilot reviews and testimonials for the program. It was a significant investment, but I was sure I would get my money’s worth.

When I joined, I was pleasantly surprised at the community of experienced product managers who want to improve their careers and job search. I also loved how organized the first ten weeks were. I got to meet all the coaches, review the curriculum, and feel I had total control over my success.

I loved the practice and group coaching sessions. I can understand what the interviewer wants. So I can fine-tune my answer! I learned from the coaches and the perspective of other product managers, so I did not have tunnel vision and learned how to approach the solution better.

I worked with one of my peers extensively, and we both got great offers! I could also use the program's negotiation skills to land a better offer.

I'm happy to talk to any future clients for Intentional Product Manager. If you have questions, reach out to me on LinkedIn

Great community and instructors to land a product management job. Mock interviews and structured program helps brings discipline and rigor to the otherwise unstructured job search process.

Smart investment for your PM interviews and beyond.

I am a mid-career Product Management professional with an MBA, and a previous Faang experience, so the interview process is not new for me.

I used to do it all by myself and I now realize it’s not necessary and not even sensible.

The Intentional Job search program made a big difference in terms of landing multiple roles, including Faang at the right level and within a short 8-10 weeks.

I’d credit the well-structured approach, a supportive community and the rigor from the coaches as complementary to my own efforts. I started feeling more prepared and the mindset work was invaluable for me.

If you are serious about landing a strong Product management offer, why would you not join this program and learn from the best?

Intentional Job Search helped me land my first Product Management role. Before joining, I wore many different hats in the nonprofit sector where I did work in advocacy, research, program & project management, and sometimes wearing a PM hat.

I had tried breaking into product before the program, but I would never make it past the final rounds of interviews and had trouble communicating a cohesive narrative and story. I had considered PM bootcamps but had heard mixed reviews, and thought there was a substantial risk involved. I also knew there would be a job search after a bootcamp anyways - so why delay the inevitable? I was really grateful to learn about IJS and have the opportunity to accelerate my search while building skills throughout the process.

The program supported me each step of the way. Any job search is really draining in many ways - and having the coaches and support system of the program made a really big difference. I learned how to tell my story better/explain how my experience is relevant to PM, interview much more confidently, improve my resume and LinkedIn, and much more.

I definitely recommend this program to others interested in breaking into product. Seeking out help and resources like this was key to making the switch a reality for me! It's a significant investment - financial, time, effort, etc. - but if you put in the work, the support and feedback you find in this program can take you far.

Intentional Product Manager is a well-organized community for new and experienced product managers to grow and connect. I got connected to my current opportunity through this community. I developed the confidence and knowledge to get through interviews and perform my job in this community. I'll always recommend IPM to PMs who want to grow and aspiring PMs.

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.

Before the Intentional Job Search program, I was a product manager and leader at Citibank. I had not changed jobs in ten years! My biggest challenge was I had no idea how to conduct a successful search for the next tech PM role.

I was very hesitant when I spoke with Shobhit. I asked him 1000s of questions, and he answered them very genuinely. That's what led me to join the program.

I worked through all stages of the program - stories, Linkedin, and interviews. I felt so much more confident going into interviews as I consistently got a hire or strong hire ratings from IPM coaches.

I applied to six jobs, interviewed at four, and had three offers! I did not expect that to happen since these were my dream companies.

I hit the goals I set for myself. I joined Twilio, a tech and product-focused company. It met my goals: moving from banking to tech, into a well-known brand, and working for a great manager.

This program has changed quite a few things in my life. It has helped me better communicate my own stories and made me much more confident in life. There are so many principles that I've learned here, which it's not just for this job search. It is, in general, in life, both personal and professional. And I'm very confident that next time I change jobs, you know, I know what to do, what to look for, what are the key areas to focus on, and what to enhance, and I can now work towards my next job starting today. The skill sets I've learned here will be beneficial in multiple ways.
