Thank you . Do you know anyone went through this program ?

I m recent graduate from Upraised. I'll share my personal experience. I got placed as APM with 52% hike. I was in marketing before this. I had been matched with a Senior PM from Microsoft as my PM coach who was very helpful in writing my PRD and create my portfolio. I also had 6 mock interviews with PM's from different different companies. My placement phase was stressful because in the current market there are few jobs. But i had calls with my career coach weekly to help me. I think as long as you are willing to put in effort, Upraised is a very good investment to get a PM job

I am currently in Upraised's CAP.
Pros:
Their course content is great for a start.
Cons:
- This course is NOT designed for people NEW to Product. Their course completion timeline is 4 months but if you are new to product, you will most definitely not absorb the course content in the stated period of time. You will feel demotivated & the career counsellor is always there to remind you of your shortcomings, rather than providing any real time help. By help, I mean deadline extension, etc.
- Upraised will only help you with referrals if you are performing the best in the cohort. Their strategy is : Create new cohort every month, mildly hoodwink 60 students by saying : "Your KYS score is x%. We see potential in you and we would like to offer you a seat in Upraised." After the student has been admitted, Upraised will be on their best behavior for exactly a couple of months & post that, you are on your own. Only the best ones(the ones with some background in product/really good at product) are chosen for real time interviews.
- Upraised does not have any mission and vision. They are only concerned about the bare minimum, i.e, making money. They have selective empathy towards students & definitely no consideration about their reluctant timelines & how it affects their students. This course is designed for their own success, & selectively the student's success.

The placement rates are low. Dont believe what they promote. It is a bad investment in current gloomy times.
