Do I really need a coach, can’t I do this on my own?

Without a doubt you can pursue your career journey alone, but working with a coach helps you avoid dead ends, find hidden opportunities, and have someone you can confide in through any challenges you encounter along the way.

The sad truth for scientists is that the average time on the job market is 6-9 months to land a role in your desired field, but with coaching support we can cut that time in half or more. In fact, several of our clients (including some from 2025) have landed job offers before we have even finished our coaching program!

How can I possibly add coaching sessions to my already busy schedule?

While career planning may not be the most urgent thing in your life right now, it is one of the most important.

Our career coaching programs take 6-10 weeks and ARE an investment of time (1-3 hours per week including the session), but well worth it in the long run. Plus we can modify the program as needed to accommodate your schedule and goals—we even have evening and weekend availability!

We also offer a la carte, 2 week options for specific academic and career needs (e.g. digital resume reviews, mock interviews, etc.).

How much does coaching cost?

The average rate for a quality career coach is approximately $400/hr, but we charge closer to $300/hr because we work exclusively with students and early career professionals, a demographic that typically does not have substantial financial resources. However, we, like most coaches do not charge by the hour, rather we charge by program because whether our preparation time takes 1 hr or 10, we will put in whatever time it takes to help you achieve your goal at no additional cost to you. The investment for our 6-8 session coaching packages ranges from $900 - $3000 depending on program customization.

Investing in our programs costs less than two 4-credit college courses, yet unlike coursework you may forget within a few months, the strategies and insights you gain here will support you throughout your 40+ year career.

Remember that this one-time investment translates into a higher lifelong salary, so while it may seem like a lot of money now, working with a coach (especially one that knows science) could give you financial security for the rest of your life!

With that said, we started this company to bridge the gap between the haves and the have-nots and give everyone a fair shot at a career in STEM, so we encourage you to schedule that free inquiry session to explore your investment options. We offer financial aid in the form of interest-free payment plans, discounts, group coaching options, and even pro bono opportunities based on financial need.

What if it doesn’t work for me?

We can honestly say that has never happened, but we do offer a 100% money back guarantee if you are not satisfied with our services. Furthermore, the purpose of the free 30-minute inquiry session is to see if we are a mutually good fit, if not, we provide you a list of referrals that might be a better match (because it’s hard to find quality coaches with an authentic science background!).
