Product Gym

I came from a finance background, and I was able to receive my first offer within 3 months after joining the program. The process works only if you fully trust the program and put all of your hard work into the process. PG really did a great job covering... Read More everything you needed to guide you through the entire process.

Their tips and recommendations felt counter-intuitive to me and go against what I typically see on job hunting recommendations online....and that's likely why their process is so effective. I immediately saw a 5X jump in responses for phone screens after... Read More using their resume & cover template. Having gone through all their interviewing topics and product management classes, I feel so prepared, calm, and in control during interviews. It's helped me get to a few final offers (I have never had more than 1 offer to choose from in my entire life). The coaches are also available for you to ping with questions, so it's really a super valuable membership!

Took a white-boarding session. There was no white-boarding at all, just regular PMing excercises, I was hoping some live whiteboarding tips for FANG The worst : Was told will get recording after the session. Received neither the slides nor recording and... Read More no response to any emails after payment was made.

Product Gym's strength is that they provide a very thorough framework and comprehensive set of product classes that promises results if you stick with the plan. I was initially skeptical but was finding that I was unable to get results on my own. I had... Read More some engineering skills, I had some product experience, why was my job search process so hard? I honestly was about to give up and just accept that I can't be a product manager because I don't have an MBA or have amazing big tech experience. However, I realized that I could either try and get help to fully transition into product now, or I should give up because my way just wasn't working. I ended up finding out that I was thinking about the product manager role and the job hunt process in all the wrong ways and this was why I wasn't initially successful. Product Gym helped me reframe and rethink what I knew.

This place is truly like a gym. I struggled in the beginning. I applied to many places and got rejections for many of my applications. I used to take it so personally and this affected my confidence but the community and logic behind the process was my strength. Eventually I started getting requests for interviews. I stumbled in these interviews, but as I did more, I got better. I got more confident. I relished in my failures and learned quickly. I started to get a feel for my identity as a product manager and how I could sell myself. Each interview equipped me for the next regardless of the result.

In about 7 weeks, I got my first offer. I am in the process of trying to secure more for the right role for me. I will admit, it's a very exhausting, personally draining process. There's so much room to doubt yourself and your worth. Imposter syndrome is very common. Having peers that are doing the same process and knowing that you're not alone helps so much. Having coaches that can provide feedback is invaluable. Having a framework to refer can give you hope. I honestly didn't think I'd get so far after potentially considering that I should give up. I'm glad I signed up.

Recently I’ve landed my first product owner offer after 5 weeks of applying with Product Gym.
I generate 14 interviews per week (I even started declining some and choosing only the best of the best, since I’m generating so many responses on my applications).... Read More
Product Gym coaches help me to enhance my pitch, answer tricky hiring managers’ questions, and give advice for offer negotiation.

PG’s community spirit is amazing. I feel like I’m not alone on this hard journey and that I’m supported by the community.

The curriculum and classes are also very helpful. My favorite part is that each class is led by a professional who is really an expert in this particular field and can answer any of my questions and can explain how I can use all this information in the interview.

Highly recommend the program for those who are in the product management job search!

I've always felt like the pressures of finding a job is so much more difficult than actually doing the job. The world of product management is an interesting one in which there is no school to go to to help you train for it; rather, it's a company liking... Read More your thought process on organizing the chaos that is building products. Learning about how to do product management can be done reading books, blog posts, and watching youtube videos, but the interviewing, this is a totally different thing.

I've had interviews with companies prior to joining Product Gym and I couldn't get past round 2. I was flustered by interview questions and wasn't doing a good job of showing how I can step into a new role and contribute from day 1. I've started interviewing using methods that Product Gym teaches, and I've reached countless final rounds and now even have companies competing against each other to give me an offer! Product Gym helps you present your best self whether it's branding, applying, or interviewing! Very grateful to have discovered this class.

Since I moved on from my marketing and sales job in November 2019, I was job hunting for a Product Manager job (after hearing about it and researching about what it was) for 2 months without any luck. I got some rounds 1s, but nothing past that, and some... Read More companies never even called back, or gave feedback. I wasn't sure what I was doing wrong. I decided for my 2020 New Year's resolution that I was going to land my job in Product Management. I researched for degrees and programs that help with Product Management, but there's no 'Product Manager' degree from colleges.
I went to check out a few bootcamps, and I did some consultations with a select few of them, with Product Gym being one. The thing that stuck out to me when I talked to Product Gym over the other bootcamps was that they offered 'lifetime support' and would help me secure my Product Manager job. I was skeptical of course, thinking 'If I can't even get past a few round 1s, or get multiple interviews, what good is enrolling in Product Gym going to do for me? How are they going to change everything?'
I was told to check out their testimonials page, and they had all these great people from big companies that I thought I would never land, but it was still inspirational to check out. I decided I would just enroll with Product Gym, because the 'lifetime support and access' told me that it would be the best in terms of cost over time.
I talked to Rich in January, and I enrolled the same month for their cohort. It was grueling how difficult their program is, but I kept thinking 'IF I WANT TO GET A PRODUCT MANAGER JOB, I HAVE TO STICK WITH IT. THIS IS THE WORST PART - THE JOB HUNT.' After about 3 weeks, I landed multiple interviews, and I even got past my round 1 hurdle, and hit round 2s. Then a week after, I landed my first round 3 interview, and 2 weeks after that, I got my first round 4. About 6 weeks into the program, I got my first job offer, but it wasn't in the field I wanted, so I kept going at it. I already had an offer, so I felt safe, and had a job secured, but I wanted one in the field I was passionate about. About 3 weeks after that, I got an offer for a medium sized company in the NYC area, where their new product was one that I definitely wanted to be involved in making.
All in all, I could not have gotten the job I wanted without the help of Rich and his team at Product Gym. Trust me - they know what they're doing, and even if the program is taxing at first, just stick through it like I did, and the end result will be the best part.
Thanks again to Rich and the team at Product Gym for landing me my first Product Manager job!

I was pretty skeptical at first at Product Gym's promise of delivering 10+ interviews a week. I was happy to say I was wrong, because following their program, you really do generate more interviews for PM jobs than ever before. With more interviews, comes... Read More more practice to hone and craft your story. Product Gym delivers on their promise and with lifetime support they are well worth the investment for your career.

I enrolled in Product Gym to help me land a job in product management. Specifically, I was having trouble at the top of the funnel: getting R1 interviews. Product Gym helped me revise my resume, and make my brand much more compelling to recruiters and... Read More hiring managers. Product Gym mentions that they help candidates get a ton of R1 interviews, which they absolutely delivered on for me. By having practice with a large number of interviews, I was able to iterate on my brand to get deep into interview processes, and ultimately get offers.

This is definitely an invaluable program. As the current labor force changes and there are more candidates to choose from, it is imperative to find the right support and community who knows the landscape and can teach you the most practical, disciplined... Read More way to get to the front of the line. It's not easy, but it's about consistency. Additionally, access to their courses is continuous, even after receiving a job! Frankly, the interview skills and techniques taught by Product Gym can technically be applied to any industry.
