Career coaching

I had the pleasure of receiving a career coaching session from Jay, and I can confidently say it was one of the most insightful conversations I’ve had on transitioning into product management. Jay brings deep knowledge of both the PM craft and current hiring trends, offering a perspective that is both strategic and grounded in real-world experience. What stood out most was Jay’s ability to tailor the conversation to my unique background. Coming from a nontraditional path, I wasn’t sure how best to position myself but Jay quickly helped me identify the transferable skills I already have and laid out a clear roadmap for making the transition. If you’re exploring product management, especially if you're navigating a career pivot, don't hesitate to book Jay. Highly recommend!

Jay is awesome. He provided an open, non-judgmental space for Q&A, insights and the do's and don'ts for the TPM role I was interviewing for. I would 100% get in touch with him again.
