Intentional Product ManagerReviews of intentionalproductmanager.com

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.

As the layoff impacted me, I was anxious and rushed to find a job. I blindly applied to hundreds of jobs on LinkedIn, crossing my fingers and hoping something—anything—would stick. But let’s be real: it wasn’t working. I quickly realized the market had changed a lot, requirements had evolved, and I needed help. I wasn’t getting interviews, and on the rare occasion that I did, I failed to communicate my value. The whole process was exhausting and, honestly, pretty demoralizing. Then I found an old message from Shobhit and landed at the Intentional Job Search Program—it completely flipped the script. This isn’t just another generic career coaching or job search program. The program focuses on finding your dream job. Personalized for what the candidate needs and tailored to cover each company’s requirements. It’s a proven structure focused on strategizing to improve mentality, explicitly designed for Product Managers to land high-impact roles. Here’s what made the biggest difference for me: ✅ A Smarter, More Strategic Job Search – Instead of applying to everything under the sun, I learned how to focus on the right opportunities—ones that aligned with my strengths and career goals. That made me take the opportunity to look for vertical growth in my next role. ✅ Crafting a Signature Narrative – Hands down, the biggest game-changer. I finally figured out how to not just answer the questions asked but clearly articulate my unique value so hiring managers immediately saw why I was the right fit. ✅ Flawless Interview Execution – The mock interviews and coaching? Next level. I went from stumbling through responses to owning the room, telling compelling stories, and nailing even the toughest product and behavioral questions. ✅ Networking That Actually Works – I stopped wasting time on cold outreach that leads nowhere. I used the program’s frameworks to build real connections—ones that opened doors. Also the community support made a lot of difference. ✅ Hit the Goal – The IPM team had told me it takes an average of 3 months to find a job. I felt that the data didn’t matter, but once I started focusing at the end of 3 months, I had 3 offers. The result? I went from feeling lost and frustrated to landing multiple offers, including a Senior Product Manager role at Amazon. But the best part? I finally felt in control of my career instead of just hoping for the best. If you’re a Product Manager struggling to get a breakthrough or want your next role at your dream company, stop wasting time in unstructured career growth. Intentional Product Manager is the best investment I’ve ever made in my career, and I can’t recommend it enough.

Intentional Job Search transformed my approach to job hunting. I entered the program feeling uncertain about the recruitment process and its timeline, but their comprehensive methodology proved invaluable. The program offered a structured approach that included personalized role assessment, interview strategy training, and both group and one-on-one practice sessions. The results speak for themselves: within just 2.5 months, I secured my dream position, successfully advancing in 7 out of 8 interview processes I participated in. What sets this program apart isn't just the immediate results—it's the lasting impact. The skills I developed and the supportive community I joined will benefit my career for years to come. I wholeheartedly recommend Intentional Job Search to any product manager looking to make their next strategic career move.

A terrific program for anyone serious about professional and personal growth! If you are prepared to put in the work and trust the process, through great leadership and an amazing community of coaches and professionals, this full package program will equip you with the mindset, intentionality, structure and rigor to have the product management career you have always desired.

Joining the Intentional Job Search program was a pivotal decision that I made in my job search journey. Before discovering IJS, I felt very stuck. Despite a solid background as a product manager with over six years of experience, I was struggling to get interviews, let alone progress beyond the recruiter rounds. It was frustrating and demoralizing. What really stood out about IJS was the data-driven approach. During my discovery call, I was shown compelling statistics about the program's success rates, and that gave me confidence. I quickly realized that my current job search strategies—mass applying and hoping for the best—weren’t working. I needed a transformation, and IJS provided exactly that. From day one, I saw how structured and intentional the program was. The coaching team helped me refine every aspect of my job search—from rewriting my resume with a laser focus on specific roles to shifting my mindset from “pick me” to “I’m the buyer here.” This was a game-changer. I learned how to strategically target roles aligned with my expertise in e-commerce and delivery domains, which ultimately led to two job offers in just two months of joining the program. The interview prep modules were really valuable. I used to go into interviews unprepared, thinking I could "wing it." IJS taught me how to craft compelling stories, communicate with confidence, and show up as the leader I aspired to be. The difference in how I presented myself was night and day. If you’re ambitious, tired of spinning your wheels, and ready to take control of your job search, IJS is the program for you. It’s not just about landing a job—it’s about landing the right job that aligns with your goals, expertise, and aspirations. For me, this was more than just a career step—it helped boost my morale and foster a positive, growth-oriented mindset. Highly recommend. Thank you, IJS team, for helping me unlock my potential and achieve what once felt impossible.
