I'm sure there are good career coaches out there, but they are definitely not the majority. Career coaching is the kind of work someone turns to when they can't find other work themselves.
I think it really depends on who you're working with. I would encourage you to go with somebody who was referred to you, or who has really good references. I ended up spending a few hundred dollars on a career coach that basically gave me ChatGPT answers. Total waste of time and money. But I know some people have had some really good experiences, so it's kind of hit or miss.
Yes, I loved working with Katie Desimone.

I don't doubt that there are good coaches out there, but I never see myself paying for one. The juice doesn't seem like it's worth the squeeze. If you want to stay in the field you're in, you could try to gain different perspective from your peers. I think that could potentially be a way more beneficial way to figure out next steps. Not to mention that there's no financial transaction associated with any of those conversations
The one I had sucked. Wasn’t to keen on creative careers and based everything on Myers-Briggs 🫠
Tried career coach but the career coach is too generic and doesn't really understand creative field at all so I find it really pointless at the end of the day. Purely just want to throw you into a career job; less of walking you through the journey.
Ended up feeling more lost and aimless. I'd think it's best to find one that truly understands the field you're in or mentors of your field.
I ended up learning more from the advice from creatives here than career coaches & that says alot.
