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!

Personalized feedback prepared me for the most challenging interviews 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.

MUST-HAVE for PMs looking for a job A must-have for any Product Managers seeking a job in this market. The program is very structured and offers a lot of qualified coaches. They guide you through everything - starting with a "Clarity" session that helps create a concrete job-search strategy, a thorough Resume/LinkedIn review with a coach, lots of content on all sorts of interview prep - from behavioral to every type of product sense interview, weekly opportunities to meet one-on-one with several coaches for mock interviews as well as a vibrant community of peers and group coaching sessions weekly. The program literally has it all. There is also a "mindset" component - which helps job-seekers stay positive and approach opportunities with confidence. The staff helps administer the Slack community, with job-alerts, referrals and much more. A successful job search requires a lot of hard-work, but this program makes sure you are totally prepared, you have mastery over product sense interviews, you have perfected your stories and your narrative. The structure was what I didn't have before, and that made all the difference. Also, the program is suitable for all career stages - from early to late stage. My experience was simply fantastic, and I landed a great job at a great company with 33% increase in my overall comp - and a lot of the kudos should go to Intentional Product Manager. Thank you IPM!

For Product Managers Looking to Level Up 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!

Aggressive and 'salesy' approach 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..
