Are career coaches worth it? I have only worked at abusive/dysfunctional "boutique agencies" and can't manage to get an interview in house or somewhere reputable. Wondering if a coach would help to identify goals or figure out what I am lacking? Also curious about making the pivot to marketing/strategy or how to build a career somewhere functional and relatively stable...I am a CD with 12 years experience (mostly social, cultural, integrated brand work, & some awards)

I believe a coach could be extremely helpful, but just like a therapist, so hard to find the right one. Looking for one myself. 😅
(I’ve had experiences before but they were not exactly what I wanted).

Almost 32 years old and feeling stuck.
