First, she provided great tips for my resume and networking scripts. Her interview templates were extremely helpful for my interviews.

Lastly, she gave us great support and confidence during our job-hunting process. I highly recommend Nancy’s Bootcamp.

Nancy's accelerator has immensely helped me in my job search process. From getting more interviews to actually start thinking from the lens of a product manager, Nancy helped me improve my skills and thought process. Her networking ideologies were also great which helped me bag more referrals and land more interviews in top companies. Her constant support and motivation throughout the job hunting process is something I am sure no one will find it in any of the other accelerators that may exist! If you want to become a better PM and get more interviews and learn how to ace them then I strongly recommend this amazing accelerator!

Nancy is an amazing mentor. When I started transitioning into Product Management career, I got to learn a lot of valuable information through her on how to prepare a very concise resume, she has a huge database of questions which I tried to answer them using the frameworks she taught me. She is very good at coming up with new and efficient frameworks. Also, the live training she provides in answering behavioral, product sense, execution, metrics, strategy questions helped me a lot in not only preparing for the interview but also taught me how to become an efficient Product Manager.

She has great examples from her career to boost your confidence. She is always available to answer your questions any time of the day, any career advice you need, how to negotiate for a better offer and also she has a very positive vibe in her. She is very patient in answering any kind of questions you have. I am even planning to come back to her in the future to advance my career and I highly recommend her mentorship.

• Before: Trador on Wall Street
• Education: Masters in Financial Engineering
• Year of experience: 7 years
• After: Product Manager at FalconX in 3 months

I am a senior product manager at a CRC Crypto start up. Before that, I worked in Morgan Stanley for several years as an Equity Registrator. I transitioned into Product Management because I like creative work an I'm passionate about technology. 

I didn't have any PM experience before and at the start of my job search, I wasn't confident about my experience because they were not relevant to product management. I am really happy that I chose this program because it helped me in so many different ways.

Nancy helped me set a strategy to focus my job search on Fin-tech companies to leverage my existing experience. Thanks to that strategy, I got my first offer within three months.

In summary, I recommend PMA to anyone aspiring to be a Product Manager, and I hope to see you guys there.

• Before: Tech lead

• Year of experience: 12 years
• After: Sr. PM at Microsoft

I attended the Product Manager Accelerator program this year. Dr. Nancy Li’s program is well structured, helped me identifying my knowledge gap, and eventually I got more interview opportunities with the networking tips. Her live group case study sessions were helpful too. It provided a chance to get inspired from your team mates. At the end, I got a Sr. PM offer from Microsoft and received the compensation that exceeded my expectations.

Al Pinada

• Before: Giving up his dream of joining FAANG companies. Spend thousands of dollars joining other programs
• Education: Master of Science, Doctor of Law
• Year of experience: 14 years
• After: Sr. TPM at Meta

Nancy worked wonders with me...her accelerator program helped unlock interview talent that I thought I never had and landed me 5 offers, which led to my current position as a TPM at Facebook.  Her program helped me articulate sweet and crisp answers to the most difficult interview questions asked in the industry. 

Her program was exactly what I needed...for many years now, I've settled for less and when I thought of giving up on getting a dream job at a Faang company, she armed me with knowledge, courage and strength to pull forward.  I am very pleased with the results of which I couldn't find from many similar programs out there.  The difference lies in the results.  Don't waste your money on other programs out there that just help you get interviews.  Use your resources on methodology that gets you the job and keep it.

• Education: Bachelor in Marketing

• After: APMM offer from Google

Despite applying for PMM jobs instead of PM ones, Nancy provided me with really helpful advice when I was struggling with whether or not I should accept the offer. Knowing I would like to have a more thorough understanding of the company and the position, She even linked me up with another current employee. I would recommend others who do not have much experience in tech to seek help from Nancy who has a strong network in the field.

Muyuan Li

• Before: Healthcare Professional
• Education: Master of Engineering, Doctor of Philosophy
• Year of experience: 6 years 
• After: Sr. PM at Amazon Web Services

Thanks to Dr. Nancy Li's PM accelerator program, I transitioned from a project manager at a healthcare organization to a product manager. I followed Product School and Exponent youtube channels and blogs for a year, but I didn't make substantial progress. However, within 5 months after signing up for Dr. Nancy Li's program, I landed two offers, including a Sr. Product Manager role at a FANNG company. I found three key reasons that differentiated Dr. Nancy Li's program from other resources.

First, Dr. Nancy systematically teaches us product management concepts. Her teaching is so thorough that I found myself referring back to what I learned from her classes after working as a product manager.

Next, Dr. Nancy leads us through hands-on practices with real interview cases weekly. I found her live sessions very helpful and effective. I knew what to expect in interviews and prepared 20+ mocks in a short period. Last, I appreciate the product manager community that Dr. Nancy Li has developed for us. I benefited from learning with alumni and mentors. I love to continue learning and advancing my career with friends and colleagues that I met from this program.

Nancy's accelerator provided very comprehensive instruction on how to apply and interview for the PM position. I can immediately apply the framework and strategy learned from the course to many interviews, which greatly helped with my interview preparation. She is also a coach who goes above and beyond. Apart from teaching interview and career development techniques that can be used in day-to-day work, she also encourages her students to be more confident and proactive at work. 

Lori Li

• Before: Marketing Manager in a Startup
• Education: Master of Public Relation
• Year of experience: 6 years
• After: Product Marketing Manager at Amazon

Nancy is very knowledgeable in cracking PM interview and coach professionals to find their unique position in the market and leverage what’s available to reach a higher career level. I joined Nancy’s program when i was pregnant with twins. Although I can’t manage to participate in all the live classes, what’s discussed in the first two modules are more than enough to help me get started with my career plan. I was working at a startup as a product marketing manager, with just a couple of years experience under my belt.

Nancy gave me confidence to pursue FAANG opportunities and I landed a PMM offer at Amazon several months later.

 Mock interviews with our alumni helped me a lot preparing for the highly intensive interview loop with Amazon. Tips and lessons shared in the slack channel benefit me everyday in my current job as well. I would highly recommend the accelerator program to anyone who wants a career boost, whether it’s for PM or not. You will find something helpful along the way. That being said, I’m still seeking good opportunities to transfer into a PM role.

So I will keep learning from Nancy and the group. At the same time I’m so glad to see more modules and topics are added to the content, which shows the program is adapting to students needs and industry trends. Can’t wait to see more offers from fellow students! Good luck!

Alejandro Riddle

• Year of experience: 7 years
• After: PM at JPMoargan

I worked in the insurance industry for around 7 years, and I always felt that I wanted to go where I could create the biggest impact for our customers. I began looking into product management but didn’t know where to start. During my research I found Dr. Nancy Li’s PM Accelerator program, and although I looked at other PM programs, there was something special about Dr. Nancy.

She seemed to really care about her students, and her students were landing PM jobs! I saw testimony after testimony, so I decided to give it a go.

It has been one of the best decisions of my career. I was able to land my dream PM JOB!!! My life has change dramatically since then. I feel that I have my whole career in front of me, I feel motivated, and excited of where things are going. Some of the things I learned in Nancy’s PM Accelerator program:
1. How does my current role relate into a PM position?
2. What recruiters are looking for?
3. How to write my resume to get the PM interviews
4. How to kill a PM interview
What hiring mangers want to hear, and how to respond to tough questions?
5. Many high-level Product Management Cases, and many more things.
This is my personal experience, but if I could give advice to someone that wants to land their dream PM job it would be to get the program!

Shikha Valsalan

• Before: QA leadership position, and not sure how to transition to a product management career
• Education: Bachelor of Computer Science
• Year of experience: 12 years
• After: Product Manager at UHG

When I first decided that I wanted to move into product management, I was not sure how to position myself as someone who can transition into a PM role from QA. But Nancy helped me realize that I already had a lot of skills necessary to become a PM. There was an immediate shift in my mindset and I was confident to apply for jobs. Apart from Nancy’s guidance, the live product sense sessions and the resources she provided, one other thing that helped me was the community. Together we motivated each other and worked towards our goals. I am glad I found this program.

Ede Ephraim

• Before: Supply Chain Analyst 
• Education: Supply Chain
• Year of experience: 1 year
• After: Product Owner at Healthcare Education non-profit

Dr. Nancy’s accelerator program was the missing puzzle piece I needed in my journey to product. Her lessons are concise, strategic and cover recruiting from several essential aspects. She and her team gave me personal advice during my preparation period, and they support continuous improvement through their constant feedback. After seeing the results she helped others achieve, I joined this program and was able to attain a product offer in 4 months with no product experience and only a year of professional working experience. Dr. Nancy’s program also supports the development of current PMs seeking to advance their career & I’m excited to leverage those resources as well.

Nancy is an empathic coach who genuinely cares about her students, either fine tuning experienced product leaders or accelerating the learning curve for first-time product managers. I was impressed by Nancy’s pro-active style and openness to providing personalized advice.

Besides, she is a fun colleague to be around in thought leadership webinars or product management videos.

For those in search of a more meaningful position, I strongly suggest working with Nancy as your product management - competitive edge coach.
