Are career coaches a good investment? I feel stuck and not sure what my next steps should be. Would a career coach be able to guide me?

It was for me, I paid about $700 for a new resume, LinkedIn and interview coaching, and salary negotiation. I landed a job in 6 months hat paid $30,000 more and was remote. That was 4 years ago so it’s $120,000 more from my investment.

Once you get to the interview stage you’re up against other people so any advantage you can get helps beat them and more likely you’ll land the job.

I looked unsuccessfully for years before hiring a career coach.

I would say absolutely not! Waste of time and money! They are typically pulling their info straight from the internet. My company is currently hiring remote if you're looking for a new career! I work for a very reputable company that's been around for 120 years. We work with Union Members, Credit Unions, Police Officers, Fire Fighters and Veterans.
We are the Official Life Insurance for the Dallas Cowboys, LA Lakers, Atlanta Braves and the Texas Rangers! The opportunity has been life changing for me! I'd love to help get you an interview this week if you are interested!

Hello - thinking of starting a small side coaching practice. Could use a bit of help because I've never thought about opening a side hustle but times are tough with two kids in college.

1. What is the best approach to collecting your fee? Each session? Pay the package cost upfront,? Other, and if so, what is it?
2. How do you collect it? Venmo? Credit card?
3. Do you have to register your business?

Thank you in advance for any guidance.

We have sales people in Canada and the US, the Canadians make 150K CAD and down here it’s 150K USD, the Canadians argue they should be making 30% more than the US colleagues to be equal bc of the exchange! I explain the salary is dependent on the market data for them in Canada, WHERE THEY LIVE, and you can’t compare it to the US employees and the market data down here. Overall they are both in the 75th% for total comp. for their industry. Am I wrong?
