NextLeap

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 : ) Read less

When I joined NextLeap, I already had some exposure to product design, but the course was still an eye opener and exactly the kind of learning experience I was looking for.

My biggest takeaway was learning how to approach a problem. I used to start thinking about solutions before deeply understanding the problem first, and I realised that this is the actual foundation of good product design. The course really helped me build that foundation and think more like a product designer.

My favourite sessions were with Arindam Sir. They really helped me understand how a designer should think, approach a problem, and arrive at a solution. I also found most of the sessions with industry experts extremely insightful. They were knowledgeable, approachable, and very friendly. The Figma sessions were also really helpful in building a strong foundation.

Another thing I really appreciated about NextLeap was the career support. Becoming a Top Fellow isn't easy, but it opens up access to the job board and opportunities at some great companies. The placement mentors are genuinely invested, with 1:1 sessions, honest feedback, and support throughout the job search.

A special shoutout to Ritika, who helped me a lot during my job search. She gave me honest feedback on where I needed to improve, proactively checked in, and always supported me until I landed a job through NextLeap. I also want to thank Rahul, who helped me initially and really pushed me to improve my resume, portfolio, and case studies.

Overall, NextLeap gave me much more than just another course to add to my resume. It changed the way I think about product design and gave me a much deeper understanding of the entire design process, from user research and user journeys to information architecture, systems thinking, interaction and motion design, and everything in between. It helped me understand not just what to do at each stage, but how to actually think through and execute each step well. 

I’d definitely recommend it to anyone looking to build or strengthen their foundation in product design. Read less

NextLeap’s Product Management Fellowship is a well-rounded program that covers theory, practical work, interview preparation, and portfolio building.
One of the best parts of the program is the instructors. They are experienced Product Managers, and they share real-life examples instead of just teaching theory. This makes it easier to understand how concepts are actually used in real situations.
The structure of the program with milestones, “learn in public” challenges, and the final graduation project helps you apply what you learn regularly. This makes the learning more practical and not just theoretical.
The interview preparation section is also helpful, as it gives you multiple chances to practice and build confidence before attending actual interviews.

TL;DR: Nextleap's Gen-AI Bootcamp is built for people who want to do the work, not just learn about it. Rigorous curriculum, mentors who speak push your thinking, real projects that translate directly to the job. Landed a Founding PM role at an AI-native startup through this.

I came into Nextleap's Gen AI Bootcamp with a genuine question: how do I make myself relevant in a world being restructured by AI?
What separates this from the noise of online courses is that the curriculum is built around doing, not consuming. You're not watching lectures and feeling productive. You're building, presenting, getting challenged, and iterating. 
But the mentors are the real differentiator. They are active hands-on practitioners/ leaders in AI, who push back when your thinking is lazy - the kind of feedback which is hard to find and genuinely useful. Read less
