Do not waste your money like I did
Do not waste your money like I did. This fellowship is expensive and makes promises they cannot keep. I went through the entire fellowship and did everything I was coached on and received 1 interview. The coaches are all part-time and work elsewhere. I had 3 separate coaches because of their turnover (also a flag), and all 3 coaches told me they give the same advice to the clients at their other jobs. There is nothing unique about their approach - it is a polished version of what everyone else is doing. All of my coaches told me I was doing "all the right things" but "it's just the job market". I was told I should consider going to paid conferences and college job fairs and pay for newsletters that give access to job ads sooner. Apparently I paid money to be told I'm not spending enough money. In my initial interest call I told Essi I work 50 hours a week - I do not have time to spend hours a week networking, yet that is what my coaching told me I need to do. So I stay up most nights trying to network yet get nowhere. I do not blame MatchDay for the job market, however I blame them for selling hope that they cannot fulfill on. All of the services they offer can be easily found at far less by leveraging AI and pay-per-service professionals. I paid $8,000 for an updated resume, 150 jobs applied to, and 1 interview. Rami should be ashamed of himself. I now have more debt and feel even more hopeless than I did before I wasted my money on this program. Do not make the same mistake I did!! I wish I had never stumbled upon MatchDay.

Hi RM, Thank you for sharing your experience. Investing your time, money, and late nights into a career transition and still feeling discouraged is difficult, and we take your concerns seriously. Our leadership team personally reviewed your enrollment call & progress throughout the Fellowship. The outcomes discussed were based on our results from more than 200 fellow placements, and the conversation you had with Essi addressed your background as a chiropractor and the potential outcomes for your specific transition. MatchDay’s coaching team includes full-time and part-time professionals, many of whom hold healthcare leadership roles outside the program. This gives fellows access to people actively working in the fields they want to enter. Most fellows remain with one coach throughout their program. However, your experience with three coaches raises a concern about continuity that deserves review. Coaches offer a range of job-search strategies, but guidance should account for each fellow’s circumstances. We recognize your concern that the recommendations felt difficult to sustain alongside a 50-hour workweek, and that suggestions involving additional spending added to your frustration. As an alumnus, you retain access to your program resources, modules, and the materials developed with your coaches. We also recognize that continued access alone does not resolve the concerns you’ve raised. Leadership has reached out to you directly to listen, review your coaching experience, and discuss an appropriate path toward resolution. Thank you for giving us the opportunity to address this personally.
