Working with Intentional Product Manager was a very important career decision for me.
I was finding my job search to be very frustrating - I was consistently applying, interviewing, and networking to the best of my ability, but really needed some more direct feedback to help me improve my outcomes.
This program gave me honest, personal feedback. It helped me hone my interviewing skills and feel more confident in my approaches. Sam & Shobhit helped me be more effective and structured in my extemporaneous in-the-moment responses and gave me the tools to tell stories around my work history in a more structured way & that told a cohesive story.
Intentional Job Search is a great tool to give insight into where your blinders might be. The mock interviews are indispensable.

Before working with the Intentional Product Manager, I was frustrated with my interviewing experience - not hearing back from recruiters, being overlooked for roles I know I would be good in, and having no access to valuable feedback after interviews. I tried several other peer groups but did not feel I was getting structured feedback.
I was apprehensive about joining a coaching programme - I had never done so before, and the price seemed quite steep. In my initial call with Shobhit, my mind was put to rest. No hard sales techniques, genuine answers to my questions, and my skepticism was met with honesty and a willingness to make this partnership work.
Once I started the program, I had no doubt I had made the right choice. Sam and Shobhit worked with me on building back up the confidence I had lost over the months prior in other interview processes. They taught me how to craft my interview narrative both in person and online and how to get into the right frame of mind to be fully prepared for interviewing and starting a new job.
I can say with confidence that it is entirely worth the investment. I achieved my goal of completing a job search with a higher salary and promotion in such a short time compared to doing it on my own.
I highly recommend this program for product managers at any level who need support leveling up in their careers.

Can you imagine passing ~90% of 25+ interviews with members of the hiring team?
Can you imagine having to deal with the “problem” of your job search funnel not narrowing?
Can you imagine you giving out more rejections than the ones that you receive in your job search?
Can you imagine all the above happening in less than four weeks once you start to interview?
Well, I could not either - until all of these things happened with the help of Shobhit and Sam as part of the Intentional Job Search program.
Before I joined the program, I did not even dream of having this level of success with top startups and well-known public companies.
Shobhit and Sam helped me change the way that I talk about my product leadership experience and helped me land my dream job as a product leader in a fast-growing startup.
If you are on the fence, I would ask you to think about the opportunity cost of inaction.
Think about the times when someone else landed the position you wanted.
Think about the times when you were passed over for a promotion.
Think about the times when you are awake in your bed thinking about why you are stuck.
You can begin moving ahead TODAY with the right type of coaching and mentorship.
**You** and you alone have the power and the agency (just as I did) to make a choice to move ahead quickly with mentorship or to stay where you are for another few years (or longer).
What will you choose? What will your future self think about your choice?

This successful product manager suffered from layoffs in the tech industry. But now:

What happened exactly?
🟣Ed is impacted by layoffs at Wayfair
🟣He quickly jumped into job search mode
🟣He starts to apply for roles, logging onto LinkedIn, finding new jobs that were posted, and just sending his resume out, potentially reaching out to someone that I might know there
But it was not smooth sailing
🔴He felt he was targeting places all over the place and had much of a strategy.
🔴He has some luck at getting interviews and even final rounds
🔴Six months go by, and he does not have a job
🔴He wasn’t getting enough interviews, even for roles where he was a good fit
🔴He wasn’t getting enough feedback. He wasn’t sure why he wasn't converting even those where his skill set was a great match for the job description.
🔴He started to lose confidence - could he actually do it? Would he have to take a junior role and take a paycut?
At this point, he decided to change things
💜He joined the Intentional Job Search program
💜He makes his introduction and his stories inspiring, substantive, and engaging!
💜He got feedback from coaches on his stories and his interviews and kept interviewing
💜Networks with other members of the community and helps them while seeking their help

🚀Target his job search
🚀 Interviewed confidently, knowing that he had learned what he needed to
🚀 Land an offer on a product he is excited about!
