Tbh I watched a video about career coaches recently and it basically said most of them just tell you what you already know but charge you hundreds for it. Honestly that sounds exactly like what happened here. A good friend of mine tried one and said it was basically just someone nodding along to her ideas while charging by the hour. Ngl it seems like a lot of these coaches are just regular people who got a certification online and now act like they have secret knowledge. I think you'd get better help just talking to a mentor in your field for free instead of paying for generic advice.

Right but here's something people MISS about these coaches - they're basically selling ACCESS, not advice. Your friend could have the SAME ideas as a Fortune 500 CEO but if she doesn't know the right people or have the right connections, nobody listens. A career coach with a contacts list can get you in rooms you'd never enter alone. That's actually worth something if they have REAL industry ties. But most of these online-certified coaches don't have that either. So you're paying for the illusion of access rather than actual doors opening. The real scam is when they pretend their generic tips are somehow exclusive information.
