I’m so frustrated in my job but feel stuck due to my specialization. I’ve been considering talking to a Career Coach to see if my concerns are justified or if I’m selling myself short. I’d love to hear from others who have tried this. Did it help? How did you find the Coach? Am I right in thinking the Coach should have experience with IT jobs because they work a little differently? Recommendations?

My counsellor also specializes in life coaching and she has helped me build a career I am happy with. I think any advice can be beneficial if it’s from a good source, even if it just gets you thinking.

I would for sure use a coach, but not without a strong reference. Finding a random coach online seems like a bad idea because of how unregulated "coaching" is. I'd ask around to see if you can get some referrals from people who have used coaches firsthand

Do we know if there is a sponsoring partner that oversees this benefit/ program that I could have more of a heart to heart conversation with?

However, anything related to IVF or medical procedures has to go through insurance (also limited to $50k lifetime benefit). Continued…

I have a question, I got a contract role through a recruiter. Initially the recruiter offered the hourly pay rate which was the minimum in my range. Now I got an offer from the company.

I'm looking to find a job like the Forward Deployed Engineer role Palantir Technologies in the UK.

I have become hooked on finding a job that involves solving the kinds of problems they presented during their interviews. Although I got to the final round my performance anxiety got the better of me (I think I wanted the job a bit too much...). I will reapply after working in a similar company.

Is it "deep tech" / "data science" or "smart enterprise" that they're doing? Any advice welcome.

Quick question.
I was a contractor for a big company and they just let me know that my last day is December 30th. I got this position thanks to a recruiting company that has been great and gives me benefits.
Should I:
- Continue working with the recruiting company, hoping that they will find another position for me? (as they told me they will, and when they applied me I started working with my current company within 2 weeks)
- Work with the recruiter + apply for jobs on my own?
