In January I reached out to a “career transition specialist I found on LinkedIn for help with a career change. We had a brief 20 minute consultation but I quickly realized i couldnt afford her and would have to save. Fast forward to now and i reached out to her again but she refused to take me on because i didnt watch any of her YouTube content. It was a very weird & frustrating exchange—considering the amount of $$$ almost spent.

Has anyone had similar experiences with these “specialists”?

Hello! I've been struggling the last few weeks because someone on my team has been taking credit for my work. This coworker is really good with buzzwords and getting the attention of upper management. I'm feeling discouraged - what should I do?

Do I tell her my timeline is now a month, or is telling them I'm getting fired going to tank my chances of getting the job?

I’ve been working for a small investment firm for about a year and am having some issues with my boss.

I already spoke with him about these issues, but things haven’t really changed. I really like the work I do but I’m starting to feel frustrated about the situation. Any advice? Or anyone else in a similar situation?

Working on tight turn arounds and a cd who is too busy for meetings it proving tough with remote working. Any tips?

Is it worth telling my mgr something eg I recognize the careless mistakes and I'm in the process of seeing tx to help?
