I joined the IJS hoping to land my next role — and I ended up experiencing one of the most meaningful periods of career growth. This isn’t just a course. It’s a structured, high-touch coaching program that transforms how you think, how you interview, and how you lead as a product professional. What stood out most to me was the clarity and structure. There’s no guessing. Every step — from narrative building to product sense, behavioral frameworks, and mindset coaching — has a clear process. And it works. The coaching quality is exceptional. Each coach brings deep expertise and personalized insight. The feedback I received was specific, actionable, and honest — the kind that helps you level up quickly. I learned how to tell my story with confidence, break down product problems like a leader, and approach interviews with a calm, strategic mindset. Shobhit is a great coach and provides personalized attention, whether it is drafting and trying out a different version of your resume or coaching for product sense interviews or guiding/helping through networking. Another huge differentiator is the community. You’re surrounded by motivated peers and coaches who care about your progress. The feedback loops, mock interviews, weekly exercises, and consistent check-ins helped me grow in ways I didn’t anticipate. I would also highlight that this isn't a magic job search program on it's own. If you follow their roadmap and do the work, this program will change the trajectory of your product career. If you’re serious about elevating your product career — whether that's landing a new role or becoming a more intentional product leader — this program is absolutely worth it.

Here's a very honest review. I'll start with the good, and it's mostly good. It's one of the best things I did both to find a job and to help my career. I went from no job for 7+ months to working at Amazon. I was laid off and feeling unmotivated after having a few rejections. This course gave me structure and motivation to keep going. It also gave me access to reliably getting practice interviews, which is really helpful. I tried to use other sites to practice but it's hard getting the timing right as you're get interviews. I really appreciate the focus on mental health and fixing your mindset. That's why I joined the cource tbh, it's honestly all about your mindset and confidence when you're starting your interview. So yeah, they will ask you to do meditation and i found it very helpful. It's not the main thing but a big part of the course. The coaches were high quality and from big tech companies. They were tough as well, sometimes i did loose motivation because they were so tough but it what I needed to hear. More on the negative side: 1) it's very cheesey sales-y at the beginning. I wish they were just real, it really gave me a lot of doubt at the beginning but if you get past that, the course and its coaches are very much real. 2) It takes awhile to get to the point where you're apply to jobs. They focus a long time on getting your "tell me about yourself" right and some other pre-apply prep work. 3) They completely failed me in negotiations, they gave me a number to ask for that was WAY out of the range so the company was just like "no". We should have been more conservative. NBD at the end because I got a way better paying job than I expected, thanks to the interview prep. All in all, if you're feeling hopeless, not sure what to fix in your interviews, and want better structure and guidance, this is for you.

I completed the Product Sense and Vibe Coding workshop because I wanted to learn new skills around vibe coding and how to approach product sense interviews that include a prototyping component. The pacing was quick, but in a good way — a lot of impactful information was packed into a short amount of time. The sessions were clear, interactive, and well-structured, with the hands-on prototyping work done outside of instructor-led time. Shobhit and Will did a great job of balancing frameworks with practical application. My biggest takeaways were: - Feeling confident in meta-prompting and building a solid first prototype I can iterate on. - Learning frameworks that will help me use interview time more efficiently. - Gaining a prompt library and structured ways to check prototype-to-product plan alignment. As part of the workshop, I built two prototypes: one from the pre-work prompts that pushed me to create something cohesive across multiple stages, and another that brought to life a data labeling feature I want to add to my current project. Both exercises were challenging and rewarding. In terms of value, I think the price was fair (though I wouldn’t pay more). I’d recommend this workshop to PMs at all career stages — AI is rapidly shaping both interviews and day-to-day work, and those who don’t upskill risk being left behind. If I had one piece of constructive feedback, it would be to include more one-on-one time to review prototypes and ideas. Some people seemed shy about speaking up, and more individualized feedback could help unlock even more value. Overall, this was a well-run, practical, and forward-looking workshop that gave me tools I can immediately apply in interviews and in my current role.

I had a great experience working with the Intentional Product Management (IPM) coaches to tackle a few key challenges in my job search. As a seasoned product manager with 20+ years of experience, I’ve successfully changed jobs multiple times. So when I started looking again, I thought I knew what to do. But this time felt different. There were fewer opportunities for senior product managers, and a lot more strong candidates in the market due to post-pandemic corrections in tech hiring. I began my job search on my own, but soon realized it was taking longer than expected to find the right opportunities. With fewer roles available, I needed to make the most of each one. That’s when I decided to join the IPM program. Looking back, the program helped me a lot—especially with mindset, crafting my career story, interview coaching, and peer support. I was able to address three big challenges: 1. Measuring Progress: Practicing alone made it hard to know if I was improving. IPM gave me a clear structure to track progress and see how I stacked up against expert interviewers. 2. Telling My Story: I needed a compelling narrative that connected my past experience with the role I wanted next. IPM helped me shape stories that not only convinced others—but also reminded me that I was ready for the next step. 3. Staying Accountable: It's easy to fall back into comfortable habits, especially when the work includes outreach and networking. The IPM community helped me stay on track and do the consistent work required. If you're looking for a new product management role in today’s tough job market, I highly recommend checking out IPM.

Great resource for structured job search and interview prep IJS has been a fantastic resource for my job search. The structured roadmap kept me focused and helped ensure I was spending time on the things that actually moved the needle, instead of getting lost in non-value-add activities. The behavioral interview prep has been especially valuable — clear guidance and mock interviews gave me the practice and feedback I needed to improve. I highly recommend IJS if you're looking for a focused, practical approach to job hunting.

Great program - provides structure and support for PM job searching. Expensive but you will get the money back (and possibly more) when you are hired.

After spending 12 years in B2B Product Management, I thought I had my career figured out, until a sudden layoff left me stunned and unsure of what to do next. I stumbled through a few interviews, only to be told I had the skills but couldn’t showcase them. That’s when I found Intentional Job Search. Joining IJS was a tough decision, especially financially, but within weeks, it became clear that it was the best investment I could’ve made. This isn’t just a job search program. It’s a makeover for product managers. The structure, coaching, and content are world-class. I went in expecting pre recorded videos; what I got was a team who held my hand through every step. From refining my narrative to preparing for interviews and salary negotiation, they were always there. I was shocked by how much prompt personal attention we got, especially from Shobhit and the coaches. The mindset work completely changed how I approached my career. I used to be scared to talk about my layoff. Now, I own my story and more importantly, I show up with confidence. I landed three offers and ended up with a $100K+ salary increase at a unicorn legal tech company, doing AI-powered product work I’d only dreamed about before. IJS didn’t just help me land a role, it was like a makeover for my career. I feel unstoppable. To anyone considering this program: stop thinking of it as a cost. It’s an investment in your next 10 years.

Before I joined the Intentional Product Manager program, I was in one of the hardest chapters of my life. The job market was relentless. Within an hour, every listing had hundreds of applicants, and even when I made it to interviews, I kept hitting a wall at the hiring manager stage. Rejection after rejection started to wear me down. And underneath all of that? Imposter syndrome, thick and heavy. After years of being a woman in product, I felt like I was constantly bracing for impact. I was tired. Discouraged. Alone. Then I came across a post by Shobhit on LinkedIn. It said, “If you’ve been laid off, pause and validate your feelings.” Something about those words stopped me. It wasn’t the usual hustle-talk. It felt real. Honest. Human. That moment pulled me in, and that’s when everything started to shift. Intentional Product Manager wasn’t just another coaching program. It taught me how to tell my story in a way that felt like me, not a polished version of what I thought people wanted to hear. And more than that, it gave me something I didn’t even know I needed: a real community. Coaches who didn’t just challenge me, they saw me. They didn’t let me quit on myself when I wanted to. They helped me find my confidence again. I learned how to reframe the rejections. A “no” became part of the path, not a dead end. The frameworks helped me speak about my work with clarity and authenticity. The support helped me walk into interviews grounded in who I am. The result? I landed a role I genuinely love at a leading AI company. It feels aligned, energizing, and like home. But here’s the truth: the job was just one part of the win. What I gained ran much deeper. I started to heal, rebuild my sense of self, and reconnect with what makes me powerful as a product leader. So, if you’re feeling lost, doubting yourself, or tired of doing this alone, this is the place for you. If you are willing to do the work, it’s a community, a mindset, and a transformation. And honestly? The investment was worth every penny—probably more.
