Product Gym

Product Gym has been the best career decision that I have made thus far. I come from a non-traditional background, having been in education (professor, administratrator) for most of my nearly 20 year career. On top of that, I’ve been working abroad in... Read More Asia for over ten years. However, I always dreamed of a full-time career in tech back home in the States. About a year ago, I stumbled upon the role of product manager and realized that my skill set would match the role. I first started my PM journey by enrolling in a different certification program. Though I had dabbled in a couple startups before, I didn’t know much about how to be a PM nor did I realize how competitive it would be to get a PM job, so I thought that program would help. Unfortunately, when I completed the program, I still lacked confidence and had no idea how to actually get a job. Then I stumbled across Product Gym through some YouTube videos that I thought were really helpful. Though skeptical that the program would work for someone with my background, I went ahead and signed up. There is no question that PG asks a lot of their members. You have to work hard for what you want. But PG gives incredibly practical, concrete advice that actually produces results. After working with the coaches, my resume now actually opens the door to interviews. And I know that my interview skills have improved significantly through everything I learned in the PG classes and through the coaching calls. I’ve been effective in getting to the final rounds of PM interviews and finally just landed an offer. What seemed like a daunting goal as an aspiring PM has become a reality. Thank you so much, PG!

Being a product manager already I had some initial reservations coming into Product Gym as I had been getting some interviews and was getting some interest, but after is when things really blew up. They really helped me nail down my messaging, revamp... Read More all my content, and ace the case study interview. You can honestly even get 10+ interviews a week and really find a job that you like and want rather than just what's there. I cannot recommend them enough for anyone on the fence about whether the investment is worth it.

As someone who doesn't believe in doing online courses I can firmly say the joining Product Gym was one of the best decisions I ever made. To elaborate the reason I believe that Product GYM differs from most online courses is that they don’t conceptualise... Read More themselves as a course both as a gym meaning that the metric of success they measure the members by isn't a certificate or awards but on the practical results achieved by members. Simply put Product GYM success is based on whether you get a job in the very sought after position of Product Manager. Given this practical philosophy they have a high success rate and it is the reason I joined and the reason I am giving such high praise as I have made the successful transition from QA tester to Product Manager. Moreover I joined product gym from a while being based in Ireland then the company is based so I was originally nervous that the differences in our respective markets meant that the lessons learned in Product GYM irrelevant. However I am pleased to say I was wrong and at the lessons learned in Product GYM on how to think like a product manager, how to sound like a Product Manager and how to interview like a Product Manager are universal regardless of the country you are based. Overall I cannot recommend product gym highly enough. if you want a highly effective team who will teach you all the practical lessons you will need too inevitably get you a job as product manager then I would urge you to becoming a member.

Going through this program gave me the knowledge and the confidence I needed to land a product manager role! Before starting Product Gym, I was in a dead end Administration position and incredibly burnt out, working such long hours for pay that I could... Read More barely survive on. In looking for a career that my skills could transfer into, I discovered product management. A really great thing about Product Gym is that they offer an initial discovery call where they meet with you, and talk about your background and skills and assess if you're a good match for the program before you're approved to sign up. The program is a treasure trove of all of the different aspects that you need to know about product management, all taught by different part-time instructors that are actively practicing their craft, and guidance/advice is available through coaches and some alumni that have made their way through this program. A few things to be keenly aware of: *This program doesn't work if you don't. Guidance for nearly every aspect or problem that you could think of is very accessible, but there is no hand holding involved. *Once you commit and start, don't stop. Momentum is everything in this program. *The founders and coaches within this program are rockstars, and they are incredibly candid with any and all direction and feedback.
