I haven’t, but I’ve heard mixed views on these.

In short, far more useful at the Director/VP+ level.

1. You can actually afford them
2. They will basically supercharge your network for you. Assuming you are busy, you can just focus on your job while these coaches give you prescriptive steps to take

In general though, most ppl don’t need them.

EY Deloitte PwC people - would you leave your current employer for a 15%-25% total comp difference?

Doesn’t feel like a great exit opportunity - currently at big 4 this would be moving to a niche consulting company
