I did when I was moving into my first CD role and dealing with imposter syndrome. She came from the industry and was extremely helpful with exercises and practices to help me reframe my perspectives on what I could achieve.

Find someone who you vibe with, I’ve encountered coaches who were much more intense than the person I used and they wouldn’t have worked for me. Connection is important because it will be your foundation for trust and vulnerability.

Any advice? (cont. in comments)

Went from IT Audit -> Analyst. 58k to 150k. 2018->2021. I wouldn’t do a masters unless you absolutely feel like you need it. There are so many online resources to help you. Don’t try and jump to big tech company first. Get your feet wet and some random company and get the basic analytics and programming fundamentals down then move after a year or so.
