What do career coaches do? Do they mostly help you move within your field, or can they help you figure out what else you want to do (that might be entirely different)?

I always try to find career coaches. They help you identify what you want to do and help you build a plan. Additionally, they help you with difficult situations. Overall I like them but I typically use them as a one or two appt thing so I don’t run up a bill

Where do you find career coaches?

I used the LinkedIn search bar and filter for your city. Then I check through their websites and evaluate

Career coaches can actually do both, but some focus one one area or the other. Folks who are referred to as executive coaches can help you develop soft skills that can strengthen your ability to grow professionally as well. Personal recommendations go a long way, and you should definitely get a sense for how someone works and determine if you click with their style and approach before committing to a relationship.

Feeling guilty and insecure that I didn’t have a huge reaction to finding my wedding dress. I love the dress but I didn’t cry or jump up and down over it. I felt self-conscious after seeing everyone else’s reaction to my reaction when saying yes. I can’t shake the feeling now that I shouldn’t have said yes. Anybody else have a similar experience?

Hi everyone! I’m switching internally to my company’s LA office (from Boston). I only need to be in the office 1 or 2x per week and am toying around with the idea of living in San Diego and commuting up that one day. It’s likely be a 2.5hr drive or so each way, which seems like a lot. Can anyone speak to whether or not I’d go insane with that setup or if there are ways to make it more tolerable? I just have more family / friends in SD and would prefer to live there if possible :) thank you!!

Hot take, for those who received a stimulus based on FY19 or FY18 returns why doesn’t the government make people pay it back in the FY20 return if they don’t qualify based on the actual tax year stimulus was for? I understand why they couldn’t wait but IrS knows who received it so it isn’t hard to implement. Could have used the anticipated saving coming back to fund more stimulus for those who truly needed it.
