Product Gym

Although it is quite expensive, Product Gym helped me get my branding up to snuff in order to land first round interviews, gain the confidence to properly portray my experiences in interviews, and learn about the finer points of product management to... Read More convert interviews to offers. The bi-weekly coaching calls were very helpful for getting all my questions answered regarding the day-to-day of interviewing and the classes were led by elite product managers and experts on a variety of topics that PMs need to abreast of to be competitive in market. I highly recommend this program for more junior and experienced product managers alike. The community of PMs in the program is fantastic and everyone in my cohort was always willing to help with everything from little questions to case study practice sessions. Mind you this entire course was virtual during COVID-19 - well done Product Gym!

I'm a great PM and I also thought I was a great interviewer. After a few final rounds that didn't go my way Product Gym identified and solved my problem, quantity. During every interview process I had beforehand I knew all my eggs were in one basket,... Read More if I didn't land that job I was back to square one.

With PG consistently had a number of interview, this took off the pressure in having the preform each time (which I did once the pressure was off). They also gave me a step by step guide in how to land the offer, email templates, exactly how to answer specific questions, they know what make companies tick.

I not only was able to land the offer but also learned a skillset that I'll be using many times in the future. I'm confident I'll always be able to land a new role when I'm ready for a switch.

As a career switcher from Finance to Technology over the past year, I struggled to get interviews even after doing multiple network meetings and meetups every week. After signing up for PG's program and going through their branding process and classes,... Read More I immediately went from a couple interviews a month to interviewing consistently with 6-8 new companies per week during the program. The program is challenging and requires a lot of sweat equity of your own in order to succeed, but once you do there is no question you will be successful in getting through the brutal process of interviewing and progressing into later rounds of product management interviews. By utilizing their process, I was actually able to get a job offer at the peak of Covid-19, an incredible accomplishment considering all of the negative news surrounding the pandemic and resulting economic backdrop. I witnessed program peers be successful from a range of backgrounds including people switching industries with no prior PM title to those with a lot of experience working as seasoned product managers at FAAMG. The classes are valuable but the ultimate value add is that their process gets you the job. All of the instructors and mentors are product managers and have gone through the interview grind multiple times. Sign up for Product Gym and do the work, and you will land multiple product manager offers...

During these tough times I learned how to be thankful. Looking at tens of collegues and connections posting on LinkedIn looking for jobs after their unexpected layoffs due to Coronavirus, I was happy that I didn’t receive the call from my job yet. That... Read More being said, however, I know for a fact that I could be on the same boat anytime now, given the extraordinary conditions. Therefore, rather than being an optimist and hoping for the best, I decided to up my game by entering the PM world after a long break (I am currently a PM working for the same company for more than five years.) by putting myself out there. With the skyrocketing popularity of this profession, I know that I cannot compete with the current workforce with my existing knowledge so I needed someone to tell me the raw and painful truth to push me to be my best.

Well, having listened to Rich for more than five minutes, I was convinced that the person who would give me the realest reality check of today would be him. He had no fear or hesitation of telling us how bad the situation is and how worse it could get further. His realistic approach is way more soothing than a family member or a coach trying to calm me, saying that everything is going to be alright. I signed up for the program right after tuning into one of his COVID-19 Product Manager Job Hunt Webinars and I am hustling ever since. The PG team has been helping me with the resume, cover letter, LinkedIn, along with the essential PM training as well as the interview coaching. It’s been a short time since I signed up so the application game is still new to me but even after a week of applying I was able to land a PM interview, during this economy! If you want to survive this crisis and move yourself forward professionally no matter what, you should definitely give Product Gym a try!

I was a PG alum back in spring 2019 and landed a great job couple of months after joining. Because of professional and personal reasons, I completely forgot to share my experience and views about the program but seeing Rich on LinkedIn working so hard... Read More to help people navigate their professional lives in the middle of this chaos, I figured this is the perfect time to share my review.

I was a mid-office associate in her late twenties working for a big bank and decided to ditch my financial services dreams as I thought my career was going nowhere but boredom. My hours were getting longer but pay wasn’t increasing as I was expecting. I was also worried as I got more specialized in my career and wouldn’t have an alternative to switch but looking at a couple of colleagues who joined big tech companies and startups as product managers or program managers, I thought this might be my calling as well. While searching for people to help me with some questions, I came across with an event called “How to Transition from Finance to Product Management” and that’s how I met with Product Gym. I signed up for a free consultation after the event and I was convinced that these guys could help a finance associate with no experience in product turn into a PM. They immediately completed my branding and I began applying as soon as possible. After countless applications, coaching sessions with the instructors, interviews, and case studies, I landed two offers and picked the higher paying one. I was amazed by the fact that my pay was higher than what I was currently working at my job with years of experience. Thanks to the negotiation tactics that I learned, I was able to secure an offer that wasn’t only promising a fulfilling career but also rewarded me exceptionally. I cannot thank my PG fam enough for the support!

WOW! These guys helped me make my dream come true during the greatest global crisis! Having tried everything ranging from online certifications to networking (and even considering business school!), I was nearly hopeless back in January and stopped my... Read More efforts to transition to product management. Fast forward one month, I met with Rich in SF and decided to give Product Gym one last chance. Thankfully, my instincts were right and I decided to sign up for the program.

Mid-march when the quarantine began, I was feeling a bit regretful since it looked like the economy stopped and there was no chance I would get a new job. Product Gym community proved otherwise as I saw numerous success stories and even people landing jobs at FACEBOOK! To make sure that we don’t panic and take advantage of WFH, Rich is holding coaching calls every other day and the staff is publishing new material as much as they can. Over the last couple of weeks, I had at least 10 interviews, applied to at least 30 positions every day and as of this Friday landed my first offer! I am feeling unreal! I cannot thank enough for the PG stuff for their continuous support and motivation. They are beyond coaches and more like a family!

After seeing tons of people losing their jobs and the economy come crashing down, I started to question my job security. While, everybody out there is claiming that this will be a temporary situation, I cannot bring myself to believe it! With that being... Read More said, I know that this is not time to complain about your job but it’s also a time to remember to have a plan b (or c!) in case things go south.

So that’s how I decided to join one of the Product Gym webinars. Not only did they motivate me to make the best use of this precious time, but they also told me how to come up with a game plan. I just signed up a couple weeks ago and despite the obvious slow-down of the economy, I have never received this many interviews! With the increased demand for interviews, I can observe how my confidence is leveling up and I am getting more ambitious than ever. At this rate, I might come out of the quarantine with a brand-new job! I cannot wait for what the future holds.

Honestly, when a friend told me about PG, I was not sure whether I was ready to trust anyone else to help me find a product job! The main reason was that I thought I knew how Product Management is done and I have got it what it takes to get a PM job.... Read More I was trying to fight my battle to get into Product space by myself. After meeting with Rich and following my gut, I thought I will give it a try. And, trust me, it's proved nothing but an amazing support system.

Cody (the most awesome guy ever), Rich, Raymond, Roman and the entire PG mentor group as well as the community of aspiring passionate PM's has been nothing but outstanding. Through different lectures from the mentors, I got so many new perspectives that I don't think I had - I learned so much more about different teams such as Marketing, UX, Data Science to name a few. However, in addition to all above, for all the aspiring (and lost) PM's out there, I would strongly recommend PG for its support system that is continually evolving. As per one of my mentor, you really need to build an army that help you get where you want to - I found that army with PG!! Cody and others go beyond to ensure you get what you ask for - great advise and support for your branding/interviews, great PM resources, slack channels, and list goes on. So, I would urge everyone experienced PM or otherwise to join this excellent community and build it further! Thank you Cody and Rich for taking the initiative to build this community!

I got to know PG through a job-hunting webinar that they hosted couple of weeks ago. Working for a small startup on the sales side in the middle of all this crisis, I was feeling uncertain about the future of my company and therefore decided to sign up... Read More for it. I would never consider this time to be a time to change my job; however, as I was already looking for a new job before all of this happened and now had real doubts about my company, I thought this would be a golden opportunity to understand what is going on. The webinar was eye-opening and far from empty sales promises, unlike what I expected. I decided to schedule a free consultation with Tom to figure out if I can complete this program completely remote.

After my consultation, I ended up signing up for the program. You might be scared about the fact that the current situation might have slowed down the way PG works however, I was able to get access to the course material and coaching sessions seamlessly. To make sure that we don’t panic and make the best out of this situation, they publish new material and have extra coaching sessions every other day. I just completed my branding (i.e. editing my resume, cover letter and LinkedIn profile) and started applying to jobs. I was never motivated to change the course of my career and I have no doubt that I will get a PM job by the end of this crisis!

Good for aspiring product managers. Interviewing for product manager jobs is a grueling process, and Product Gym provides a support structure and helps you stay motivated when trying to move into a new field. The community that comes along with the bootcamp... Read More is also very helpful.
