Product Manager Fellowship Reviews

I wasn’t sure what career path to pick and then I stumbled upon the NextLeap Fellowship. The live sessions were extremely insightful and even the online material was very well curated. The entire fellowship was very engaging despite multiple cohorts running simultaneously. All the industry best mentors took the live sessions and were all very approachable and extremely supportive. It didn’t just end with the graduation project. I reached out to my mentor and Arindam himself multiple times when I was struggling with my initial days of my first PM job and I was actually surprised to get replies from him. He’s always got your back. I always had a very skeptical view about ed-techs but the experience at NextLeap completely changed my mind. There’s no over the top promises, and they’re very accountable for the promises made and it’s not transactional at all. Everyone is always there to help you. Anybody who wants to jump into Product Management but not sure of what Product Management, this is the go to course. Of course, for a very very affordable price. All the other courses out there are very misleading - I myself went through a bad experience. I think NextLeap’s PM fellowship is the best one out there. Before I forget, my current job is through NextLeap. And I got this placement support post many months of my cohort ending. They extended the services due to COVID. The whole placement process was so smoothly handled. I am extremely grateful to Meha, the placement coordinator who always responded, didn’t leave me hanging. Overall, extremely extremely grateful to NextLeap for shaping my career. 

I joined this cohort when I was unsure about Product Management as career and left not just with clarity if I want to pursue it but also with the mentorship and an abundance of insights, guidance and resources to crack a PM role. I also reviewed these notes not only for cracking the role but also for guiding me as I was working as a Product Management Intern.I am happy to have been provided a return offer and will be working as a PM-1 at a Fortune 100 company in Seattle. I strongly suggest this cohort to all unsure or struggling to get into product management.Also please feel free to reach out to me for any queries regarding cohort or PM as a career. I always love to help through Linkedin : )

NextLeap exceeded all my expectations! Coming from a completely different field (microbiology), I never imagined I could successfully transition into product management. Taking a leap of faith with NextLeap turned out to be one of the best decisions I’ve made. The program provided incredible learning opportunities, and the tutors were exceptional. A special shoutout to Arindam and Anuj for their guidance and support—they were truly amazing! I wholeheartedly recommend NextLeap to anyone looking to make a transition into product management.

This course covers everything that a fresher requires to break into the product management. They provide placement for internships too which adds value to a fresher resume. Entire course is broken down into steps and easy to consume and understand. The graduation project and a portfolio page adds more credibility to the employers. The engagement is also high as compared to a static course in other sites.

I joined this fellowship to complement my PG program and get more real-world exposure to product management. The first thing that I found interesting was the mentor circle and the groups that used to brainstorm on different product cases. So many viewpoints to solve the cases, thanks to my mentor Himanshu for engaging sessions. The way the program is structured makes learning fun and, at the same time instills some discipline. I recommend not to skip the week more than once and stay on track. The quality of the instructors, their humbleness, and hands-on sessions have given me so much confidence that I still find it useful when doing my product work. Thanks to Arindam for regular sessions on interview preparation, resume building and career tips. I found my product job through NextLeap and it was worth the wait. A family-like feel and a lot of gratitude towards NextLeap team.Thank you!

Through mentorship from industry leaders, I gained valuable insights, refined my problem-solving skills, and expanded my professional network.

This fellowship was instrumental in equipping me with the tools and confidence to succeed in product management. I highly recommend it to anyone looking to advance in the field.

NextLeap's Product Management Fellowship was a transformative experience for me. The mentorship, especially from Parth Dixit, provided deep insights into PM fundamentals like metrics, prioritization, and A/B testing. Their career services support was instrumental in refining my interview preparation and portfolio presentation, which directly helped me secure a role at Aspyr AI Labs. This program is perfect for aspiring PMs or anyone looking to level up their product management skills.

The fellowship was a transformative experience, a real roller-coaster ride where we not only learned but also applied our learnings to real-world problems. Initially, the learning process felt challenging because we had to think like a product guy which was new to me. However, as I gained more insights and skills, the journey became more manageable and now I feel much more confident in my abilities.I had an excellent experience with NextLeap's career services. From the beginning of my job search to the interview process, salary negotiations and finally onboarding, NextLeap played a crucial role in supporting me every step of the way.

This fellowship has been an invaluable experience in my product management journey, thanks to its structured curriculum, practical focus, and exceptional mentors.I particularly enjoyed mentor Vivek Agarwal’s classes, which were rich in real-world insights, and Arindam’s sessions, which were accurate and to the point, giving me a solid grasp of core product management concepts. In addition, the career portal and services were instrumental in helping me secure my current product role

Some of my friends recommended the Nextleap PM Fellowship to me, and I have to say that it was a great decision that I made to enroll in the cohort. It was a very transformative journey full of learning, networking opportunities, proper interview preparation, etc. The tutors and mentors are well-versed with the content and follow a very structured approach. The learning happens by taking up real-world case studies and discussions just like an MBA classroom environment. The curriculum is well structured and intuitive with assignments to test your understanding. We have a graduating project at the end of the cohort where you have the chance to work on real-world problems, qualifying that you become a Top Fellow. The job assistance is really helpful with a wide range of portfolio companies coming on. In the end, I would like to be thankful to the NextLeap team for being super supportive and exclusive. For all the people reading this, I would recommend going for the fellowship and working consistently throughout the course. All the best!

Nextleap gave me a breakthrough in Product Management. I had joined their Product Manager Fellowship in my 8th semester of college, wanting to learn about the subject. Their entire curriculum is designed in such way that it compels you to think and act like a PM at each step, and completely transforms your thought process by the time you graduate from the course. Their study materials, learning platform, interview preparation, mentors and placement support are all excellent. I'd highly recommend it if you are inclined towards Product roles and want to kickstart your journey in this field.

NextLeap is an intensive fellowship.Heavy work for weekly milestone and learning material.Work to do for Getting a PM job is different from Actually doing the PM work.It's easy to get lost in the swarm of material, new connections and weekly learnings.I focussed on the former during my fellowship.After the fellowship course of 2 months, this is part 1. It's your choice if you are seeking placement support. If yes, you'll have to take part in process of becoming eligible to get placement support via becoming a top fellow by doing a course graduation project(max 3 attempts immediately after course completion, one each month) , peer mock interviews and getting a yes from mentor mock interview. This is part 2.Part 3: then you'll get added to placements channel just like college placements. Opportunities come and we can apply.Product knowledge and building a product portfolio is where NextLeap helps. NextLeap also provides placement support.As you are aware of the current job market crisis. It's the same for Product opportunities. A little dry. Better to keep expectations low and effort maximum. Probability of bagging a Product role with nextleap is far higher than without.

NextLeap has been an invaluable asset in my journey towards mastering product management. The comprehensive curriculum, coupled with expert mentorship, has equipped me with the necessary skills and knowledge to confidently tackle any product interview.One of the most significant advantages of NextLeap is the exceptional quality of its tutors. Their deep industry experience and insightful teaching methods have not only enhanced my understanding of core product management concepts but also instilled a practical approach to problem-solving. The interactive learning sessions, engaging discussions, and real-world case studies have made the learning process both enjoyable and effective.The personalized mentorship sessions provided by NextLeap have been particularly beneficial. My mentor has been instrumental in guiding me through the intricacies of product strategy, roadmap planning, and user experience design. Their constructive feedback and expert advice have helped me refine my thinking and improve my overall approach to product management.Furthermore, NextLeap's commitment to fostering a supportive learning environment has been commendable. The collaborative nature of the program has allowed me to connect with like-minded individuals, share experiences, and learn from each other. The peer learning opportunities have significantly enriched my learning experience.In conclusion, I wholeheartedly recommend NextLeap to anyone aspiring to excel in product management. It is an investment that pays off handsomely, providing the tools, knowledge, and support needed to succeed in today's competitive job market.
