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!

A major career shift thanks to IJS I was an experienced product manager before joining IJS. I had looked independently but couldn’t land the right offers and noticed I could benefit from coaching. Joining IJS was a game-changer for me. The program stood out with its structured approach, offering more than just resume advice. It provided a comprehensive toolkit for job searching, including effective story crafting and interview preparation techniques. A crucial part of my journey was the emphasis on mindset, which IJS heavily focused on. The emotional and mental support provided by the program was as valuable as career guidance. I ended up landing a desirable role with a 41% increase in compensation. Reflecting on my experience with IJS, it was more than a job search program; it was a transformative journey that reshaped not only how I approached job hunting but also how I viewed my professional narrative and potential. The program "miyagi-ed" me. I thought I needed to work on my resume while I really needed to work on my stories. My advice to anyone considering this program is to be prepared for hard work, be receptive to feedback, and focus on finding a role that aligns with your personal and professional values. The IJS program is a powerful tool if you're ready to invest in yourself and your career.

I loved the Intentional Job Search Program I joined the program when I started my job search. The coaches helped me understand the interview expectations for the Product Management role, especially at FAANG companies. It also provided a great platform to practice my interview responses. The feedback shared during practice sessions contributed to my interview success. In the end, I applied to one dream job and got it - a Senior Product Manager role at Amazon! I would definitely recommend the IJS program for anyone who has been in the Product Management space and looking for their next role or for anyone who wants to transition to a Product Management role.

Worth every penny spent! The IJS program by IPM has helped me tremendously! The curriculum and coaching are incredible! The mock interviews and story refining helped me get the needed feedback and prepare for the gruelling Amazon interviews. I was also surprised to get a supportive community where I was constantly encouraged and told I was not alone! I landed my job via a referral from another person in the community. My advice to anyone who is in the same place I was: Don't waste your time with certifications. This program is worth the investment. The return is invaluable. If you do join this program, take advantage of the community. Do not be afraid to break the ice; give and get honest feedback. This program will make you stronger all around. I am so thankful that I decided to join this program and community.

Highly recommend IJS I highly recommend the Intentional Job Search as a structured and supportive program for anyone looking for their next product role. I started the program with a year of Product Manager experience. However, I felt like I had done more program manager work than product management. The program helped me build up confidence while I practiced with both my peers as well as seasoned product managers in both Sam and Shobhit. The initial six weeks of the program gave me a great foundation based on updating my resume, working on a job search strategy and practicing stories for interviews. Overall the combination of the community and gave me the confidence necessary to find my product role. I am now a product manager at Teachable and am excited to be here, and happy to have partnered with Sam and Shobhit in my journey!
