Wonderful Keep up the Good work. I am Momin Agha
Yes I am back again.
So here we are.
🤣 love the video. I will be starting product school in few days. Please what is your suggested framework for studying, classes, taking note and pick up/ complete assignment.
I look forward to your answer. .
Cheers
Samuel.O
Congrats and Good Luck!
1. Read The Book
2. Keep organized notes in a Doc, with Date and Time, as organized as possible
3. Do the homework
4. Start final project earlier than later
5. Depending on the teacher, you can ask questions on demand. If not, write them down and ask after class or send in Slack
6. Extra: Find a buddy to work with off-hours
Would love to hear about your experience after.
@@theshaunagraham thank you for your feedback. I will be happy to share my experience after.
@@samrey8134 Hey Sam! So how was it? Do you think it was worth it?
@@Zorro00444 Hello, yes, I do think the program is worth it for those looking to be a product manager.
Please, I encourage you to do your own research. And there is no guarantee of job.
So keep that in mind aswell.
@@samrey8134 thanks for the response! And yes, I know job guaratee isnt part of their offer but comparing it with a bunch of youtube or udacity/udemy courses, wasnt sure if the hefty $4500 ticket was worth what you get to learn at Product School. I noticed their access to the portal isnt lifetime, which is sad.
What microphone do you use? Would love to use it, too. And what did you use to edit the video?
I got it on Amazon a long time ago. But, I believe it was Movo ACM400 Flexible Gooseneck Omnidirectional Microphone.
Any idea how is Brainstation PM program compared to ProductSchool program ?
I don't know much about Brainstation PM program to report on it. Good luck with your research.
What’s your opinion on product gym?
I never heard of Product Gym until you brought it up. I think they are new. They seem to optimize interviewing based on what they say on their website, which is cool. I didn't take their course, so I am not in the position to provide thorough opinions.
No more lifetime access. They limit it to 2 years.
Oh wow. That's no fun.
Please why is there certificate only valid for 2 years.
For Product School, you have 2-year access to course materials. But, the certificate itself has no expiration date.
@@theshaunagraham thank you do that insight. I asked because I’m in touch with on if there Recuriter and he said otherwise.
@@samrey8134 Oh wow. I did not know. Thanks for this information.
@@theshaunagraham Hello Shauna, I stand corrected as I got a ProductSchool recruiter on the phone after I responded to your message about this question . Thus, you were not completely wrong in your respond.
So here is the verdict.
The certification of Completion does not expire.
The Certification for the exam expire after 2 yrs of which a certification is recommended.
Thanks for your work.
@@samrey8134 " The Certification for the exam expire after 2 yrs of which a certification is recommended. " what does that mean?
how is the job search going?
My intent for the certificate was to dive deeper into product management to better my knowledge of frameworks and systems for current clients I do work with under my agency.
@@theshaunagraham oh you have your own agency? if so, do you provide product management services?
@@abiygirma1925 Yes, and Yes, you can email connect directly to learn more. Email is my About.
