Intentional Product ManagerReviews of intentionalproductmanager.com

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 Rohit
