Intentional Product ManagerReviews of intentionalproductmanager.com

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.

They are bunch of people out of job skimming others. Sales gimmick and nothing real behind them. Most of these 'coaches' don't know basics and are stuck in past. If they can help you land a Product Manager job, believe me they could get one for themselves. Avoid these unsolicited queries from LinkedIn and save money.

Lessons learned from IJS focsed on improvement in many areas of PM skills and being able to standout in job search. This program gave me a lot of confidence in my future and I was able to land a career that met my target expectations.

I joined IJS after not being able to land a job after multiple final round interviews. Through IJS I learned how to better position myself for Sr./Staff Product roles, how to better navigate the job search process, as well getting lots of practice with interview coaches building my communication skills and confidence for real interviews. I was able to leverage these skills into landing a role and compensation package I am very happy with.

Loving this program so far! So many of us can feel very alone and stuck when making a career change. IPM fixes that with a community of supportive coaches and fellow seekers all working together to improve. If you are feeling stuck, and need some help, these folks will help you get unstuck.

I was looking for my next opportunity in the summer of 2024 when IJS reached out to me. What stood out to me when working with them is that in addition to the frameworks that they already have (and continue to update, in true Product Management customer feedback style), they are interested in helping you become the best version of you out there (not just for a PM career). What I mean by that is for me, they not only listened to what my background was and where I thought I needed to head next, but they helped me punch above my expectation to nail a VP of Product role at a startup, with different other job strategies in the works if I hadn't gotten the VP of Product role. In addition to that, I think their approach to Product Management in terms of all the frameworks they have is very helpful when we are executing on our roles (especially since the framework IJS has is a combination of the best of the PM frameworks used at all the successful companies out there that are customer/market driven). In that way, the value goes beyond just nailing the interview and signing on the offer! They also have a leadership program that acts as a sounding board as well as helps coach you in approaches to leadership in Product, which they recently added. I learned a lot about what to expect in my future career in Product based on real-world experiences of the coaches, each of whom has been through this grind of being a Product Leader, which I appreciate and think of as network of professionals I could tap into.
