I paid 300 an hour but did 10 sessions so I got a discount. Was totally worth it. We payed 100k to get a college degree and then cheap out on the piece of paper that goes to employers. I went from getting a few interviews to getting an interview almost every application I send out.

Not to mention my coach was at bcg and part of my rational was that I was paying for a huge network. He has introduced me to people in a handful of companies I didn’t know a single person. All of them have offered referrals

C1, mind sharing info for your coach? I’m curious about it and would like a little more detail

I paid 250 an hour for 10 sessions, so total 2.5K. My sign on bonus was 25K as an experienced hire. That was a no-brainer.

For those who have used coaches:
1. How did you vet them to verify value beforehand? Esp knowing reviews could be forged.
2. Sounds like you all spent a lot more money and time. This quote was for a 1 hour phone session, how much value could that yield?
3. What should I ask for/ focus on during this process?

Please feel free to publicly share or DM me people/ companies you used.


My main problem is selling myself. It's a problem during review time at work, it's a problem during job hunting.

Whaaaat!? This is crazy. If you're going for a technical role spend that money on getting your to tech skills up to date. Maybe I'm just lucky and my 4 page resume is perfect.

Sure if you have skills you get offers. You might get even better ones with a better resume.

And I have turned away bad/long resumes, absolutely. In the consulting business, your job is to be crisp, clear and lazier focused. If you can't do that on a resume, then you can't do that for our clients.
