Joining Internal Job Search has been life-changing. Despite being a seasoned product leader, the job market was tough. Despite working with a coach, I had no results to land or progress through interviews. That's where IJS came in.
Despite the initial reservations, Shobit provided a clear overview. When I joined I had a strategy and clarity session that helped me to focus on what I wanted and why from the program. Having a focus on mindset and a clear structure aided the program. The program was fostered with peers facing similar challenges to the community of coaches who helped.
Finally, the course had great content. I could practice product management and sharpen my interview skills. I did mock interviews and got feedback from coaches.The International Job Search Program helped me get many interviews and offers. It also rebuilt my skills and passion for product management. The Intentional Job Search program is worth it. It's a game changer for anyone wanting to land the next job and level up their career. Despite a downturn in the job hunt, you have the output and guidance of the program, coaches, and community.

Thanks to the Intentional Job Search program, I landed my dream role at Google!
Before I joined IJS, I was an accomplished product manager. I followed the latest trends in product management; connected to all the most outstanding product leaders in the community. However, I had struggled in interviews and failed many times to land my dream roles at companies like Google. These reasons prompted me to join this program.
I got structured feedback about my mock interviews week over week in the program. As a result, I was able to get input on structural problems in my thinking.
Previously, I had done packages of interviews from other sites, and it seemed that every time I was getting the same high-level feedback based on the first impression of me.
IJS’s distinctions made a massive difference for me.

When I joined the Intentional Job Search program, I sought to transition into my first Tech Product Manager role.
After self-introspection, I was 100% clear about what I wanted; I sought out mentors. I was heavily influenced by Shobhit’s posts and felt he knew what he was talking about.
Intentional Job Search helped me transition effectively to a Senior Product Manager role. Some parts of the program surprised me a lot, including how important and influential it was working with Sam to build out my story and the supportive community part of the program.
I landed a significant role at Animoto and continue to work with the Intentional Product Manager as part of their Product Leader Blueprint and Tribe programs to accelerate my success in the program.

I came to Shobhit and Sam with an open-ended question of finding what’s next for me in my professional journey. I had a great job, and I was surrounded by kind people, but I felt stuck. I wasn’t growing or learning as much as I would have liked. I knew I needed a change, but wasn’t sure what that change would be.
The assistance I got from Shobhit and Sam was phenomenal. They made sure that I just wasn't applying for a cool job but was making sure that it was the right step for me in fulfilling my long-term career goal.
They helped me end-to-end - from career planning to offer negotiation. I was also pleasantly surprised by the amount of support and resources that came from the entire community. I landed a role at Amazon as a Senior Product Marketing Manager, and I couldn't be more excited.

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.
