Thanks! I checked them out and their coaching seems interesting, but sadly their fees are astronomical if someone already has a decent paying job. I'm looking to improve existing skills and find promotions/newer roles, but I'm already at a point in my career where their fees woul

I’m the cofounder of Formation. The other commenter below summarizes the value proposition well: if you do your part, we do ours and we work with you until you get a new job, through the entire journey, and never decrease our support. Many people drastically increase their income such that the cost of the program is a fraction of the compensation increase alone (and we help negotiate offers where a 5 min email counter offer can pay for the program).
If anything, the time and energy you dedicate should be a bigger factor if you are working already. We are your coach and adapt your training week to week to push you to grow, no shortcuts.

Nice! Yeah that's not a good fit right now for what we do since you have your TPM hat on right now. Every person gets their own path that we adapt as you go but the range of paths doesn't support TPM's at the moment. And totally agree, we are focused on helping you achieve a strong job outcome and we are not a school providing teaching, so the cost might not make sense either.

Hey, I'm the co-founder of Formation that the commenter below mentioned a few weeks ago. We are indeed busy and growing the recruiting team... we are a small team focused on the quality of our training, so we want to grow sustainably.
If you are still interested DM me and I can follow up and see what happened.
