Has anyone here worked with a professional coach for self-development or career growth? I’ve been wondering if having an objective and experienced perspective could actually help with career advancement or make the job search feel more focused. But I keep going back and forth on whether it’s truly worth it. Would love to hear how others have thought about this or what their experience has been.

Eh… I’m not sure how much value they can add.

I've heard from people who used it said good things about it, but they aren't cheap so I'm going back and forth.

I had a few meetings with one through a program my company offered, and I didn't gain anything useful from it. It was someone telling me things that I already knew and acting like it should be the most motivating thing I've ever heard.

Mid-career at a Tier 2. Have two offers in front of me, very different trajectories:

McK: Lateral move with tenure, 1 yr from EM, generalist still
A&M: Step up to Manager, PEPI (PE performance improvement)

Which do you choose and why? (And leaving comp out of the equation, if you can - A&M is immediately higher, for now)

I do plan to continue in consulting for say another 3-5 years
