Does anyone have any recommendations of career coaches or where to begin to research legit ones?

Would I be dumb to start a PhD?

I just finished my MBA. I’d never even considered my masters until my employer paid for it. My MBA helped me get a huge pay rise and I’ve just settled into a new role that I love.

I’ve just been offered a full scholarship for a PhD in a topic I am passionate about, already an active advocate for and with academics I sincerely admire. The topic is directly for a study I already contribute to every year.

I want to do it, but don’t want to f*ck the rest of my life

On January 5th, I submitted a Consortium application to Berkeley, Tuck, Darden, Ross, Mccombs, and Anderson.
