I love exchanging PM challenges and experiences with Urim. I find the responses from Urim makes me think and analyze my situation better. I also feel very "calm" after our conversation sometimes believe that I still understand product management work and can navigate through situations better over time with practice.

The sessions with Kristen were phenomenal! She is very consistent, a great communicator and overall awesome mentor. Every meeting ended with actionable next steps so I always had a direction to go in. It's very clear that she cares about contributing to the design community.

It was great speaking to you Will, the practical advice you gave helped me make few concrete decisions and put me on to the required track. Your motivating words made me re-think few decisions as well.

Allison is very open and shares many great insights: transitioning from software to PM or finding your true callings when searching for jobs. They are all extremely relevant to me. Thus, together we revamp my job hunt process and interview preparation.

I appreciated how straight forward you were in helping me tease through my thinking. It was great to hear how your career progressed from a more technical side of engineer to product. I also appreciated your overview of how different a large company can be in relation to PM/Product roles.

Frequently asked questions
Who can use Merit?
Right now we work best for people on Software Teams - such as Product Management, Product Design, Software Engineering or Management - and located in the United States or Canada.
Do you match me with someone long-term? How many mentors can I talk to?
Merit is a network, and the benefit is being able to use the network of mentors and not a single person. We focus on connecting you to relevant and available mentors based on your topics. Some members talk to a single mentor multiple times, others talk to a bunch of mentors at once. You decide what works for you.
How many conversations can I schedule?
We do not limit the number of conversations you can have with mentors. However, each mentor sets how many conversations they want per month. If you want to talk to a mentor who is currently busy, we'll suggest available mentors in similar topics.
How much does this cost?
Using Merit to connect with senior mentors is free. We make money by charging hiring managers to post jobs within our app and network.
