Tell me what career support you wish existed? 🙏

I’m a career coach (ex brand strategist) who hates the coaching model… it’s expensive and inaccessible.

So I’m starting a career support community (free & paid)… think your work friend + what you wish HR actually did + coaching.

What would you want to see and want help with? What do you think is missing on the internet re: career guidance and growth?

Thank you!
