How to Use a Career Coach Without Wasting Your Money

Lucas and Luna tackle the tricky decision of hiring a career coach in your 30s or 40s. They break down the real costs—anywhere from $200 to $500 per session—and share a concrete framework for vetting coaches before you pay a dime. Lucas reveals the one question he wishes he'd asked his first coach, and Luna explains why a coach who specializes in your industry beats a generalist every time. They also discuss when a coach is actually worse than no coach at all, and how to spot red flags like cookie-cutter advice or pressure to sign a long-term contract. If you've ever wondered whether a career coach is worth the investment, this episode gives you a practical checklist to decide for yourself. #CareerCoach #CareerAdvice #MidCareer #ProfessionalDevelopment #JobSearch #CareerStrategy #CareerGrowth #Mentorship #Coaching #CareerPivot #LateralMove #ExecutiveCoaching #CareerChange #Networking #SkillBuilding #FexingoBusiness #BusinessPodcast #Careers Keep every episode free: buymeacoffee.com/fexingo
