Who is this course for

What you will get out of this course

We will review tactics for improving your chances of getting hired, what managers want you to know about getting recognized &amp; promoted, how to find the right company &amp; role based on your skills &amp; ambitions, and debunk costly myths about career management.

How to get the career outcomes you want

For ambitious &amp; talented people, their decision of what companies to interview with and join is almost always the most pivotal career decision they can make. We will cover frameworks for evaluating companies that are personalized to what matters most to you in your life &amp; career.

How to find the right next company, based on what matters to you

We will discuss common situations that talented PMs run into:<ul><li>Should I join a large tech company or should I join a startup as VP Product?</li><li>Should I pursue a senior IC path or a PM Manager path?</li><li>Should I switch from B2B to consumer or vice versa? </li><li>and many other real situations...</li></ul>

How to make the hard trade-offs between Title, Money, and Scope

We will review<ul><li>How to tell if layoffs might be coming</li><li>How to decide what your game-plan should be, based on risk of layoffs &amp; alignment with your company</li><li>How to find companies that are still doing very well in this downturn</li><li>How to get hired in a competitive market</li><li>Bonus resources</li></ul>

Titles of course members range from Manager/Senior/Group/Principal to Director/VP/SVP/CPO. Alumni success stories:- “What was key was that I actively participated in the live course AND followed through with some participants afterwards to talk shop and build relationships. One of those relationships just happened to be able to help when I needed it.&nbsp;Simply adding connections wouldn’t have been successful as they would have had no context about me, and not enough trust to put me in touch with important people in THEIR network.” — Landed FAANG Role - “When I took the ‘stuck at sr. manager’ course, Ethan mentioned that he knows that everyone wants to get promoted and wants it now but in the grand scheme of things, it’s not a big deal (paraphrasing, of course) since he knows us high performers are going to get there. Oddly, that comment didn’t make me lazier (“I guess i’ll get there anyway, so why try so hard”) but it grounded me a bit to take a breather and realize that it is not as urgent as I think it is and take the challenge (wanting a next level title) in stride!” — Promoted to Director - “I give so much credit to the Level Up: Breaking through to the Executive course and getting a front seat to Ethan's coaching and wisdom. Thank you for working to build this community that has given me to confidence to reach even in the current market environment! It is my dream role and I'm so grateful for the opportunity.” — Promoted to Director - “I am excited to share that I got promoted to Director and I sincerely thank and appreciate your help on this. I was not able to break through the barrier to Director level, partly due to constant changes happening in the company at leadership and strategies. I continued to apply my learnings from the community to influence the cross functional teams. Leadership was seeing the adaptability that I exhibited in continuing to add business value in new role and I was starting to get positive feedback from the VP on my flexibility. If I have to just pick one thing across all of Ethan’s teachings that helped me the most, it is being PROACTIVE. I am very grateful for your help and I really appreciate the learnings I have got as part of your community and your course on Stuck at Senior Manager. It really helped me to achieve this big milestone in my career. I thank you and Jason deeply as this promotion was very close to my heart." — Promoted to Director WHO THIS IS NOT FOR:- This is not for you if you want 1:1 coaching from Ethan.- This is not for you if you believe you already know what it takes to demonstrate executive performance and how to manage the promotion process.- This is not for you if you want a slower-paced course over several weeks. This course provides in-depth on-demand lectures for self-learning to then maximize the 2-day intensive live Q&amp;A sessions with Ethan. It is designed for busy leaders who want to get the information and then quickly take action.

If you're a senior IC or product leader who dreams of building impactful 0-1 products, you've likely already demonstrated your talent and execution. But to bring big ideas to life, it's not just about what you can do—it's about inspiring others, driving cross-functional collaboration, and creating the internal momentum necessary to build something truly innovative. Unfortunately, no one gives us a playbook on how to do this from scratch. The reality is, creating bottoms-up momentum can be intimidating. You'll likely face skepticism, pushback, or apathy when trying to challenge the status quo and advocate for projects you believe in. Most of the time, this doesn't even appear to be an option. But with the right tools, frameworks, and strategies, you can navigate these hurdles, rally your team, and drive meaningful impact. This course is designed to help you do just that. It provides the tactics and lessons I learned while incepting, pitching, and building Figma Slides—a rollercoaster of a journey that taught me how to turn a vision into reality. WHAT TO EXPECT: This highly interactive course will walk you through the key strategies that helped build Figma Slides from the ground up. You’ll dive into frameworks, case studies, and real-world examples with live discussions and Q&amp;A. Over the course of 9 hours of live instruction, you’ll learn how to:- Build internal momentum and hype around your ideas- Present a compelling vision and align stakeholders- Work effectively with cross-functional teams- Advocate for projects with confidence and clarity- Tell stories that resonate and inspire action- Pitch your ideas to senior leaders to gain support- Navigate challenges with practical, battle-tested strategies RESOURCES:This course includes exclusive resources that contributed to the success of Figma Slides and other 0-1 products:- The original hackathon pitch strategy- The first vision deck, complete with design prototypes- Documentation of our North Star, which guided our product development- Tips and tricks for effectively engaging senior leaders- Tactics for smooth cross-functional collaboration- Public speaking advice for presenting your ideas with impact All live sessions will be recorded so you can review the material later WHO WILL BENEFIT MOST FROM THIS COURSE:This course is ideal for senior PMs, ICs, and other product leads who:- Want to create 0-1 products that challenge the status quo- Are passionate about driving impact and influencing company-level strategy- Are ambitious, open-minded, and ready to sharpen their skills in storytelling and vision-building WHO THIS IS NOT FOR:This course is not for those looking for 1:1 coaching or a slow-paced experience. It’s designed for busy operators who want to drastically improve their ability to influence and drive action.

Going 0-1 can be one of the most impactful moments in a career

Your days are jam-packed with meetings and urgent slacks. You're always busy, but never accomplished—feels like treading water. Deep work feels like a distant dream: Instead of proactively driving strategy, you're stuck putting out fires left and right. You're drowning in tasks that "AI could never help with"—but worried about being left behind by peers who are using AI better. It's going to get tougher. Boom times are over, and tech orgs are flattening. More experienced people are competing for scarcer product roles. Rapid advances in AI are accelerating expectations of what one product manager can handle. As a result, companies are increasingly expecting&nbsp;product managers to own a broader swath of the product, lead multiple teams, and set strategy—while staying hands-on.&nbsp; Every PM in this situation will inevitably hit a wall.&nbsp;What worked in the past won't work anymore. (This is where many senior PMs burn out.)&nbsp;Now imagine if you could: ✅ End your day with a sense of accomplishment, knowing you've moved the needle on strategic initiatives. ✅ Spend a good chunk of every day in deep focused work&nbsp;(guilt-free!) ✅ Lead multiple teams with successful outcomes ✅ Cultivate self-reliant teams that operate smoothly, even when you're not in the room ✅ Communicate confidently with leadership about your capacity and priorities. ✅ Leverage AI for strategic decisions, hard conversations, routine tasks, and high-quality artifacts (while maintaining your unique voice and strategic thinking) ✅ Consult, brainstorm, and converse with an AI copilot that understands your unique team &amp; company context (and gets smarter over time) ✅ Be known as the PM who's always finding new ways to use AI After working with &amp; interviewing dozens of successful product leads, they all consciously rebuilt these career-critical areas: 1. Redesigned their personal operating system2. Implemented the key habits of self-reliant teams3. Recognize overhead and influence product org structure4. Leverage AI as a thinking partner, writing documents, and routine tasks. This live, hands-on, cohort-based program is radically tactical. Together, we'll implement the best practices by tailoring templates, tactics, frameworks, screenshots, and scripts you can apply instantly to your individual situation. 🏆 Why this course will help you win&nbsp;🏆 Lead Multiple Teams Successfully: Manage teams across domains without feeling spread thin. Become More Strategic While Staying Hands-on: Carve out ample breathing room for creative deep work and reflection. Prevent Burnout: Feel a clear sense of progress, handle strong emotions of overwhelm, and make room for self-care. AI-Proof Your Career: Earn a reputation as the best PM at delegating, supervising, &amp; tinkering with AI—across the largest amount of product tasks. Stand Out in a Competitive Market: build a track record of broad capacity &amp; getting shit done. Accelerate Career Advancement: Position yourself for promotions and leadership roles by demonstrating strategic influence while remaining hands-on.

Jan 2025 Cohort

You sat through another meeting today feeling totally lost as the devs threw around terms like “rate limits” and “microservices”. Every time you have to make decisions that impact an engineer’s implementation, you feel like you’re on the back foot and struggling to keep up with the details. After you hand off a feature to engineering, you have no idea if it will be delivered the way you're expecting. You can feel confident, you just need the right plan. The reason most PMs can’t improve their technical skills is that they follow random online tutorials with no real plan or guidance. Or try to go from zero to 100 overnight by upskilling on complex topics - only to give up feeling frustrated and disappointed. That’s why this cohort is designed to help you build a foundational understanding of software applications. You won’t just memorize a bunch of terms - you’ll actually understand how software products are designed and deployed to handle millions of users. And our community will be here to give you the support, guidance, and accountability you’ll need to finally stick with it. After only 4 weeks, you’ll look back and think.. “WOW! I can’t believe I did that.”&nbsp; Now imagine if you could: ✅ Master technical concepts without getting lost in an internet maze. ✅ Stop asking engineers to dumb down concepts when talking to you. ✅ Predict risks, anticipate issues, and avoid endless back-and-forth. ✅ Improve your communication with engineers, users, and technical stakeholders&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; Getting started is easy. 1️⃣ Start with my 8-day email course to start building confidence with APIs today (enroll for free below!) 2️⃣ Enroll in the 4-week cohort to build your foundations with application architecture, APIs, software development lifecycle, and system design. 3️⃣ Continue your journey with The Vault, our content library covering technical tradeoffs, generative AI, technical interview prep, and more. 🎉 Bonus: When you enroll in this course, you’ll receive $1,395 in free credits to level up your workflow with Superhuman, Linear, Sprig, Dovetail &amp; Gamma (see FAQ for details)
