Has anyone here used a paid career coach? If so, what was your experience and were/are you happy with the outcome?

I’d like to make a significant career change but don’t really know where or how to start. I’ve been in consulting for 12 years and am pretty sure I’m nearing the end of this career. I just don’t know where to go from here or what I want to do. I certainly know what I don’t want to do - anything that feels like consulting. Or virtual work.

Are there any good firms you’d recommend?

My partner and I planned a trip with all of his friends and their wives before I knew I was pregnant. We will be going and I’m 8 weeks pregnant. I considered not going because I feel like without them all knowing I’m pregnant they’re going to think I’m super lame. We decided the best thing to do is just tell his friends (although a bit earlier than ideal) and then take the pressure off me to show up in any way that doesn’t feel good for me. I don’t even know what my question is…..

Hi all - question about the presentation of black men’s hair. During the pandemic I’ve grown out my hair to the point that every few weeks I get them twisted, and they look fairly neat (like short dreadlocks). I wouldn’t feel comfortable doing so if I haven’t already garnered the respect of my colleagues at my firm from the partner to the associate level. Now that I’m considering making a move, I feel as if I need to revert back to how my hair was when I first joined the firm - the traditional

Making an offer. The sellers said they had 30+ people walk through the open house today, and are asking for best and final. They’ll make a decision on Monday. The list price is 775k. We were originally thinking of offering 700 to start since comps are around 735k. However, this is nicer than the comps renovation-wise. What would you all suggest we offer? We’d rather lose the house than overpay, so this concerns us.
