Upraised Honest Reviews?

I am planning to take the course. After speaking to a few alumni peeps and after finding this thread below, I am keen on joining. Seems decent.

But I also saw few posts that are not helping me encourage to take this forward. Can I get some honest reviews about this? Preferably by someone who has themselves done the program or has talked to such learners closely.

Keep in mind all those reviews were written a year ago at the height of ZIRP and hiring spree of companies. The job scene for entry level roles in tech is very different now.

Don’t take their word. I don’t see any value in these courses.

I was trying to get into PM roles on my own for longtime, I was getting shortlisted at some places but keep getting rejections. Post zirp, there were no shortlists coming from applying myself but I really wanted to switch so I joined Upraised.

My experience Learning
The learning and interview prep are one of the best highlights for me. Earlier, I used to structures the answers wierdly and I have not done any mocks as well. TBH, I am a person who needs some handholding and Upraised does a good job here.

Placements
Yes, I have seen and heard from other cohort mates, the shortlists have reduced and not many good companies are coming. But I got shortlisted for companies like Razorpay and Jar, couldn't clear the interview though. Finally got an offer from B2B SaaS company. I think it's more about job market and your profile fitment.

IMO, if you are someone who has been trying to get into PM roles and are struggling, you should definitely think about Upraised. Yes, I agree you can learn content from internet and practice with friends but TBH it won't work for most people as PM role is a very complex role and peer learning and mentoring is most effective here.

Bro, what questions were asked in Razorpay interview?

If you really believe the above profile interviewed with Razorpay, you are extremely gullible and there’s probably nothing you can do about it.

They are one LinkedIn post away from being classified a Scam.

I was part of their Program (H2 of 2022), sharing my honest review.

Not even 10% of my batchmates got Shortlists. Forget placements, I speak about bare minimum shortlists. https://share.gvine.app/wjmRuDc6Vpwb6bs5A

It's 2.5 lacs now, the fact that people are shelling out that kind of money speaks volumes about our gullible nature.

Is GrowthX a fad?

Been hearing a lot of chatter about how GrowthX isn’t as great as its advertised. Any truth to that? Is it really worth to pay that kind of money for a 8 week course and just for community?
