Most career advice comes from people who have never had to make the actual call to hire someone. Mine comes from a decade of being on the hiring side of that conversation.
For individuals navigating a search, an offer, a pivot, or the financial side of a career move.
Career searches do not happen in a vacuum. The advice you take should come from someone who has sat in the chair on the other side.
I'm Kate Rose. I've spent nearly a decade in talent acquisition across agency, in-house, and leadership roles. On the agency side, I ran searches for 100+ clients across technical, product, and specialized roles including electrical engineers and hardware engineers. Most recently, Head of Talent Acquisition at SCA Pharma, a PE-backed 600-person 503B outsourcing facility under FDA oversight. Before that, GTM Talent Lead at Redox, a VC-backed healthtech company, where I delivered 75+ hires including doubling the sales team.
If you're navigating a search, evaluating an offer, weighing a career pivot, or trying to figure out how a job change works financially, that's what these sessions are for.
I've also made these calls in my own life: career pivots that required serious financial planning, buying a home on my own. The financial-side conversations come from lived experience, not theory.
Big career moves are personal. They get easier when someone in the conversation has been the one doing the hiring.
Hourly coaching from someone who has spent a decade making the actual hiring decisions: GTM talent lead at Redox, Head of Talent at SCA Pharma, 100+ agency clients across technical and specialized roles.
Bring whatever you're working through, whether that's one thing or several. Just come with something specific so we can get to work. Self-serve booking: pay at checkout, pick your time on the next screen, show up.
Hour-by-hour coaching for leaders and professionals in sales, customer success, GTM, project management, and software engineering navigating a search, role change, offer, career transition, education decision, or the financial side of any of the above. Whatever the question is, career, financial, or both, bring it and we'll work it. You bring a specific question or decision; I bring a decade of sitting on the hiring side of that conversation.
What this is: positioning, resume and LinkedIn review with feedback and suggestions, search strategy, interview prep, offer evaluation, and honest guidance on the bigger calls: whether to pivot careers, go back to school, pursue a certification, or make a job change work financially. This can also include how to prepare for market shifts or AI disruption, building optionality before you need it.
Career searching affects every part of your life, not just your job title or your income. I am comfortable getting into the full picture of the move, including the financial and emotional side of the decision.
On the financial side: I've made these calls in my own life: career pivots that required serious financial planning, buying a home on my own. The financial-side conversations come from lived experience, not theory.
What this isn't: writing or editing your resume for you. We can review what you have and talk through what to change, but this is a guiding conversation, not a hands-on editing session. Also not comprehensive financial planning. Budget conversations belong here, but investment, tax, and retirement work belong with a CFP. Happy to refer you to one if that's what you need.
Best for: Sales, GTM, project managers, and software engineers making a specific move: evaluating an offer, prepping for a hard interview, thinking through a career transition, deciding whether to go back to school or pursue a certification, figuring out how a job change works financially, or preparing for AI and market shifts before they force the decision.
Don't see your role above? Reach out anyway. I work with people from a wide range of professional backgrounds, and most career questions cut across roles.
Looking for a multi-session package? Email Kate to scope a bundled engagement.
This is career coaching that includes budget conversations: making a pivot work on your budget, timing a move, building runway. Budget conversations are optional and available for those who want them. For comprehensive financial planning, investment work, or tax strategy, you'll want a CFP. I'm happy to refer you to one.
Send me a note with what you're working through and I'll tell you whether a coaching session is the right fit.
