Product Manager Accelerator

I'm so glad that I made the decision to join PMA!!!

I came from a traditional mechanical engineering background and finally figured we were so underpaid and decided to make a career transition. I found out the PMA program on YouTube and went to the master class, and eventually decided to give it a try. Never thought I would meet so many amazing alumni in the program and we support each other along this journey. 

The program is set up with a highly job-focused approach. Not only were technical skills taught, but also job hunting and networking skills. What's more important is each student was required to complete a product portfolio - which eventually helped me to land a job in a crypto fintech company as PM. I completed the program in 4 months, and started using the highly effective job search techniques, and was able to land my dream job in the first interview I got. This job tripled my previous engineer salary and I could not be happier!

I cannot express my appreciation for PMA and Dr. Nancy Li. Hands down one of the best investments I have ever made in my life. 

I joined Nancy's program around half year ago start my product manager interview prep. I feel more confident about behavior and product design interview and received approx 10 interviews from Pinterest, Stripe, Meta, Amazon, Dropbox etc after 2 months. 
Nancy's framework is very helpful during the interview process to help me capture the key point of product design & strategy interview. 
Luckily I received Product Manager Technical offer from Amazon and matched with a AWS team which is my final goal:)
I really appreciate Nancy's help and I think it's a great starting point for your PM journey. 

I was ready to transition from a tech role to product management and I had no clue where to start. There were just too many unorganized resources online. And then I found Dr. Nancy Li's Product Manager Accelerator and I got a job in a Fortune 10 company within weeks. What's great about the program:
-The content is very well organized into sections that make us well prepared with resumes and all the way to interviews.
-The community is great. Everyone is ready to help with their experience, mocks and for general support.
-The program includes live mocks which is very helpful to build the product mindset for both experienced as well new product managers. 
-And most importantly, Dr. Nancy is an amazing coach and mentor. She believes in each and everyone and this has helped us achieve our goals.
I highly recommend this course and foresee myself staying with the community.

This program goes beyond my expectation, you can get the maximum out of it and become an PM when you are 100% committed to the program and start building your portfolio/train interview skills by action.  Pros:1) Mentor - Dr.Nancy Li: Nancy has an awesome personality. She is punctual, structured, honest, efficient, straight forward and right to the point, and most importantly, she is such a humor! She is passionate about her program, caring about her students and very responsive (she will respond in 24 hrs). She is the person that you could discuss with about your career path strategically, analyze the pros and cons of different offers and give you a direction about where you should go to achieve your goal. Her advice is very personalized and based on your best interest. You can always learn something new from her, she shares inspiring stories and also some life lessons that she has observed in her daily life.  2) The program is well structured starting from networking tips, interview questions, the steps of building a tech product and guidance on building your own portfolio. There are 3 sessions per weeks, two for mock interviews during the weekdays, one is a live training on 8 modules with Nancy on Sundays. In the live training, Nancy goes through the course material briefly and then we will move to a case study. Case study is the most important part in this session, as it gives you the opportunity to work with Nancy step by step how to solve a interview question, and you have the chance to interact with her and get all your questions answered. In the 2-3 hr session, you wouldn't feel bored at all!  Important note, this program gives all the resources and guidance to help you be successful, however, you really have to take the action by yourself especially building the portfolio and train your interview skills. Cons:1) Session timeslots：I am located in Germany, whilst the 2/3 training sessions (there are two that are mock interviews and one is for the live training) are in the midnight in my timezone. I would like to have a online interaction with the mentors as well in the mock interview sessions so I could get a direct feedback on my interview answers. 2) Case studies on Sunday training: it would be great to have case studies for different industries.
